Rascal, all those years involved, and you won't bear witness to anything truly godly because of twi. Not one thing of any real spiritual significance. I see something here; you appear to be definitely sold out to speaking and thinking evil about twi, and you won't budge at all. You can't stop speaking about the bad things, pause, and reflect about anything that was genuinely good on a thread designed for that purpose. No objectivity, no let up to your relentless focusing on people's sins. Won't even share your heart to even try to communicate something nice. Because you were with them years and years, I can't believe everything was bad in your life. It goes against human nature to want to stay there so long. That's why I can't believe a word you say. You're just unbelievable. Maybe sometime in the future if you ever try to be somewhat honest and forthcoming with the totality of your experiences, we'd have a basis to communicate and possibly learn something from each other.

Well, so is John, Romans, Ephesians.No point in continuing to argue about this. You don't think VPW is saved, but I do. Catcup, your view?

Rascal, all those years in twi, and you won't share one thing that was spiritually profitable and godly in your life, something really significant at the hands of twi?

I don't believe Galatians the way you're interpreting it, cause among other things, it contradicts a whole lot of other scriptures. Should I throw everything else out, and simply believe what you are saying irrespective of anything else? Doesn't the contradiction of Galatians (the way you're interpreting it) with John and Romans and Ephesians make you pause at all? Make you consider any other possibilities?

Actually what I was asking was something godly or nice about the people, teachings, etc.? Your good experience, something genuinely nice for you to say about it? Something godly experienced at the hands of twi? Things you feel they did, said or taught that were "right on"?

I'm waiting to hear Catcup's opinion. Rascal, there's also spiritual fruit evidenced in VPW's life. If he was all about evil works and that's it, I don't think we'd even be here on this board talking. I'm not and never have denied VPW's walking in the flesh, and walking by his old man nature. I've said it over and over again, that he committed evil works. But, I observe it is YOU who deny anything spiritual and godly about the man. It seems you define him by his sins, and that's it. That's why I say you are full of hate; because you haven't been reasonable or objective at all.

Rascal, do you care to share any experiences in twi that were godly for you? Something good?

I think VPW was born again/saved/converted. And I believe God when he says that those that are saved have everlasting life. Your turn ...

Cheap shot, Sadie.Why do you disparage mj simply because she is sharing her opinion?

George, it's a tragic and depressing thought. The thought of eternal nothingness doesn't exactly thrill me. I can think of two things right off the bat: (1) spiritual/mental peace; (2) motivation to try to live in God's will. :)-->

Trick question, Belle. I try to steer clear of them. What do you think?

George, I still believe in the promises of God. Those promises are our hope for the future. Spending an eternity in darkness, without God and without hope, is substantially mega-bleak. :)-->

JT, there were plenty of other great times, too, just that week really stands out. God, Jesus and the holy spirit were rocking all week. :)-->

dmiller, don't let anyone talk you out of the redemptive powers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your sins have been paid for ... 1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jo 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world. :)-->

My greatest week in TWI was July of 1973, when I took PFAL at Shelter Island, NY. Imagine learning all the goodies in Pfal in one week's time, in beautiful natural surroundings. That's gotta be the best way to take PFAL, if they ever bring it back. :)-->

Steve, I hate Kmart. I go shopping at Walmart. ;)--> :)-->

Steve, I agree with you on both counts. :)-->

Steve, it sounds interesting and I will purchase it. Thanks for the tip. :)-->

Wow, I never really thought about this. Is it possible that the extreme anti-abortion folks are practicing idolatry by worshipping unborn fetuses?

Goey, cheap shot to folks who needed to hear God's word, and got real blessed hearing and believing in Jesus Christ, and learning more about God. Shame shame shame on you.Besides, you said once you probably got born again while in twi ... and I don't look at you as a glassy - eyed sycophant. :)-->

Steve, listen to John Schoenheit's tape set on Revelation and you will hear the answer. :)-->

That's true, but God laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all. Perhaps you just don't truly believe it?

Steve, have you listened to John Schoenheit's tape set on the Book of Revelation? I thought it was pretty exciting and detailed some amazing and blessed things. :)-->

Thanks mj412, you said it better than I did. :)-->
