Scripture says to trust no man, saint and sinner alike.Do you know how many times VP himself said that we should work the Word ourselves and make it our own and "don't take my word for it"? Does that even matter to you? I trow not. And he welcomed people who thought he was wrong, to leave. Jee, ever wonder why you stayed for so long? Hung around for years and years and years. Why didn't you get outatown if it was so bad? I know I know, you were an enslaved victim, couldn't make any decisions on your own, shackled and dominated at every turn by others.

More importantly, did/do they teach that parents need to love and hug their children after they spank them? If not, I think they failed. Without the love and reassurance that the parents are spanking them out of love and what's best for them, I think the whole training session is useless.

Rascal I think you are engaged in heresy.We human beings ARE of the flesh and ARE carnal. Yet, have the ability (thank God) to receive spiritual things. God made sure of that. EVEN YOU have that ability, evident works of the flesh notwithstanding...

Rascal ol' buddy, that careful study, would be what the fruit of a woman of the flesh, verses the fruit of a woman of the spirit in galations.I line up your actions of hatred, wrath, strife and heresies and I see for myself which side of the fence that lands you. I personally mistrust a woman who`s actions give every indication that she is of the flesh...as we should, if we give the admonishments written in galations any credence. Pot calling the kettle black, friend Rascal.

WG, the unrelenting accusatory mean-spirited finger-pointing mindset of some is a lot more threatening and aggressive than some animated icons. IMO. But I'll try to post gentler icons when I can. Thanks.

"Freely ye have received, freely give". Remember that one? Which was why we got involved. We received much, therefore, it was incumbent upon us to give, to help others receive what we had received. That's what commitment was all about. Otherwise, we would have walked out, like many have, and not given it a second thought. If you didn't receive God's love in the first place, you'd have no basis to stay there all that time. God's love was no mirage, it was real at one time.

You're probably right. Those warm & fuzzy days left a long long time ago, from what I hear.

At the risk of getting all warm & fuzzy, I mention the unconditionality of God's love is what made twi successful in winning people to the Lord. That love is also what motivated many of us to dedicate/sacrifice portions of our lives to the godly cause. Some of twi doctrine made us worthy before God at all times. No conditions other than biblical believing. How many times were we exhorted to read Ephesians? If you let that sink in, you got a taste of God's love, and many of us did.

God's love was one of the first things I learned in twi, starting with the sacrifice of Christ and incorruptibility of the new birth.

And YOU have GOOD taste? My friends PIT BULL has better manners.

Krys talked early on about the benefits of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and those things are in hospitals right now, helping people. Oxygen saturated water is supposed to be an extension of that theory ... no, it hasn't been scientifically proven yet, but has been reported to help folks and animals. I continue to have an open mind about it. IT'S THE WEEKEND, give 'em hell.

It's Time to ICE my cellphone

Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Yes. Well maybe not kids but you get my drift.Playboys are good reading material. Lot's of goodies there. Have you read one lately? Hey Raffy, try it you might like it. All ya gotta do is do what I do, when you come to the pictures, cover your eyes.

I have zero interest in Harry Potter books but I'd bet money that they're at least helping people improve their reading skills. And what a way to make money...oh gowd what a goldmine

So Long From Us
