Nice to meet you too. There are quite a few respectable folks here and hope you make many friends. :)-->

welcome to Greasepot Jennifer Nessle :)-->

The whole context of this thread, as I see it, is twi is now kinder and gentler not as bad as in recent years, and some folks want to invite some of us back. I don't have a problem with that, so if someone invited me, I'd go and check it out. No compulsion. No anxiety. No commitment. Just relax and enjoy. What harm is that? :)-->

If a local fellowship invited me, I'd go. No strings, just fellowship, unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. Don't know if that's the way it is now, as it was in the past, but I have nothing to lose in trying to find out. What is there to be afraid of? With the added years of knowledge and wisdom, it might even be a decent experience. Might even run into some folks who are not demons. :)-->

Entrance into the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ, taught by VPW and other folks in twi who loved God, Jesus Christ, the bible, and each other. If that was a snare, I'll take it every day. Pass the kool aid and the ring dings. :)-->

I knew folks years ago who came and went and came and went to twig as they pleased, with no strings attached. No compulsion. Folks were freely availing themselves cause twig was so good. I personally witnessed it. My own mother went to twig for a solid year, even before taking PFAL. No pressure to take PFAL. No strings, just great fellowship and blessings at twig with likeminded folks who justed want to love God. I still remember the good 'ol days. :)-->

But if simply invited to go to a Sunday morning fellowship, no strings attached, would you go?

It's kinda amazing that some folks aren't the slightest bit interested in going back, even for one fellowship in a person's home, just to check things out. I'd go if invited. I even bet a twinkie that I'd be allowed to worship my own personal God too. :)-->

ok Kry, just opened a new one. :)-->

kry check you pt please :)-->

There is good in him. :)-->

Can I get a child tax credit for my cats? Wow, that giveaway program definitely works against single folks with no kids. It takes a village.

Definitely a motorcycle! That sounds great David, thanks. :)-->

Thanks for bringing this up Laleo. I am ever so intrigued by this phenomenon ... some folks abandon their own harmless or good thoughts and experiences of twi; ever so slowly and surely over time morphing and harmonizing their thoughts one by one in with other more dominant posters' evil and corrupted conceptions of twi. Like a vulcan mind meld. Or better yet, invasion of the body snatchers, only slower.

Boy that's a fact if I ever heard one. Thanks HCW. :)-->

But I am curious, aren't you?My car or yours? :)-->)

You're welcome Steve! :)-->

Just finished my tax returns online. Federal was FREE New York state was $19.95 Oh Glo-ray I'm surprised this thread got so little hits. You really do get something free here. :)-->

outandabout, lets go and see if it's like old times. :)-->

welcome peahead :)-->

HCW, thanks for your perspective. If anyone has reason to point fingers for this it'd be you, but you haven't. Have you realized by now that there are some folks who will use stories such as yours and still blame twi, facts notwithstanding? But there is learning even in false accusations. Thanks for sharing. :)-->

David, I'd love to. You're in Ohio right? I'll plan a nice bike trip when the weather gets warmer. Haven't been to Ohio in years. :)-->

How can you be so sure he lied? Maybe there's a reason why, other than deception? As I mentioned, it also could have been something as innocent as the "all without exception" or "all without distinction" oversight. Why does everything about Wierwille have to be evil? I think it's only about evil in those minds who choose to harbor those thoughts continuously. When in doubt, think evil. When in doubt, blame the trustees. Love, oldiesman

A good question. David, may I have the opportunity to taste test your water? May I have a gallon? I'd like to compare it with Penta while in hydronated bliss. :)-->

Mr. Reed, perhaps you were with VPW 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, to make the outrageous claim "certainly VPW was not walking in love"? That seems to be the basis of your spin, along with focusing only on Wierwille's sins, like some of our Greasespot brethren. And you so conveniently omit the fact that VPW taught the bible for 40 years, and THAT blessed lots of folks, thousands as a matter of fact, many of who are still fellowshipping in the offshoot ministries; many of who still appreciate PFAL, and lots of other great teachings.There were times he was walking in love, and truth. And your spin is flawed and biased, because you so conveniently fail to mention or even consider those times and events. Denying much of Christian truth?May I ask, what much Christian truth would that be that was denied, Mr. Reed?
