It was a traumatic experience, no question. Didn't have the ambition to get back in there. Almost, but no dice. I tip my hat to those who couldn't finish one year, but then finished later.

Krys please don't be intimidated. I like to hear your stories. Let's not forget that scientists can't prove God exists either, yet He does. "For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary... For those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible." :)-->

Soundzgood to me. :)-->

Sunny Sanders was a corps coordinator? I was there for 6 months, and never had so much as a 5-minute conversation with her. Wish I had though...she looked like a nice person.

I can definitely relate. Your whole world crashes abruptly. Suicidal thoughts at 19. If it weren't for Mom & Dad, I might have actually gone thru with it. But they let me hibernate and recuperate for 2 months in my room. Then Dad kicked me out. :D--> He wanted me to join the army. ha ha ha ha hha ha

I've served on three juries. First case was armed robbery. The verdict: hung jury Second case was misdemeanor assault. The verdict: not guilty Third case was federal bank fraud. The verdict: guilty Here in NY they have a system where you call the phone number the nite before and see if you're supposed to appear the next day. Lots of times, you don't have to go in at all, but be on call. If you're lucky, you'll only have to be there for a couple of full days at most, then if you're not called for a trial, you get excused. But if you're called for a trial, you could be there for 2 weeks or more. Do what Belle said if you don't want to sit on a jury, that sounds pretty effective. :D-->

Me neither. Penta Water. taste great, less filling

Jennifer you made my day. Thanks. :)-->

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! :)-->
