Wonderful posts! I am still developing that relationship over religion...don't think it will ever end after so many years doing stuff for God instead of learning to be with Him... [media] [/media

Thanks Pawtucket for having a site like this for a blinded and confused penguin to waddle in to. Thanks to all those on-line buddies that helped me open my eyes and process what I is/was involved in. Y'all gave me the info and courage to see there really was more to life than being a way lifer. Penguin

Did that MSP stint myself.... did all types of stuff! It actually was fun. Didn't learn anything that would translate into employment....went back to what I did during college..

I was calling it that--until I really thought about what it implied--that the way was THE ministry. I have resorted to calling it the way now--if I even name it. Usually it's only when talking to my hubby. I normally refer to the way as a group with a Christian veneer.

I SO know it! I have been trying to break myself of that for a while now. THE ministry.....

[hmmmmmm...... Facebook... Pengiun,... That group you mentioned with over 1200 members only has about 20 posts from fifteen people for the whole month. There are several smaller "Way" Facebook Groups found That largest one (that Penguin mentioned) Followers of The Way - We Love God and His Word started on July 12 2006 and the entire volume of their board (from 2006 to present) is about the same as a good weekend on GreaseSpot Cafe I agree not much activity on their wall--but it seems a daily verse goes out. I do have some innie friends on FB and I see comments on the verses pop up every now and then. I was invited to join several times but I have ignored. I have moved on... Welcome by the way--I've been gone so long from regular activity here that I don't believe we've met!

My current church did/does things similar to what you describe....at least I know they call it Servant Evangelism. I have kind of shyed away from any type of witnessing thus far.....reminds me too much of twi days. I am low key in that area for now. Most I do is talking to people I work with or see every day in other places.

Yes I would find that one comical too--but sad also. I just don't know what to say to those still involved....I have been delivered from SO much! I didn't realize how big a burden and how hot the water was OR how poisonous that koolaid was. Detox was hell!

It is a group page--called followers of the way we love God and His word--has 1200 something members

I was looking at facebook and out of silliness looked up the Way. They are alive and well in facebook world and have a lot more members than I realized just on facebook. :(

Does it count if I wanted to be a nun when I grew up???? Guess it is one of the few things twi actually did for me-----

I was 16 and terrified! I taught on some of the promises of God related to our identity as His kids.....

I hadn't thought about it until I saw someone else mentioning it..... I completely forgot my WC graduation this year too...

Just read on Facebook cuz I hadn't thought of it yet...... Praise God!!!!! No super-long boring drawn out phone hookup for TWI Anniversary today!!!!!! No driving for forever to be there live!!! It is so good to be FREE!!!!!!!!!
