What makes you think you aren't already? My mom, 'the world's greatest twig leader', used to say that "God loves you for what you are now, not for what you used to be in the past or what you will be in the future". I sure do miss you, Mom. :(

Another spin on this is found in PFAL (session 5?).... Geeze, it was 40 years ago, cut me some slack! LOL This is the whole schtick that Wierdwille does on how, when He comes back, "He won't be coming back as the one who was spit on, beaten and humiliated, He'll be coming back as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He'll be coming back as Lord God Almighty!"...(Yes, there were Trinitarian references in PFAL.) Anyhow, this explains, to the neophite, why you are supposed to pray in the name of the victorious Christ, not the name of the humiliated Jesus. Then, as you move on to the more so-called "advanced" teaching, the devil spirit aspect is introduced. In fact, it (the devil spirit aspect) receives a great deal of focus in the Advanced Class.

He brought smiles and tears into our living rooms for over fifty years

Is that the inverse corollary to "I'd be dead if not for da ministry..."??

I'm willing to be last......last in line to ever revisit that muddy cornfield in Podunk, USA.

Goodbye, Butter. It hasn't been the same since you left us on this day in 1987.

If you tell a lie enough times, you start to believe it's true.

Is there a scriptural basis for this cliche or is it just another "Well, Dr. said....."?

You could always do what VPW did....start an MLM and drown any remorse in free flowing booze. (But I don't recommend it.)

Maybe The Rolling Stones had it right all along.

The whole concept of DFAC is absurd. How can you graduate from something, only to have someone later nullify your accomplishment? Defrock..yes Disbar..yes Revoke a medical/professional license..yes Strip you of privileges to practice..yes But, pretend (in essence) that you never really graduated????...ludicrous.

"Pardon me, Sir. Have you any grey poop-on?"

Eve stopped to "consider" what the serpent said.....and just look at the consequences that befell her. (session #7/PFAL)

Ren and Stimpy got nuthin' on me. hahahahahahahaha!

The crucial concept to bear in mind here is that "seed" (the TWI defined variety) is synonymous with permanence. So, according to Way theology, someone who has the wrong "seed" (seed of the devil) is eternally doomed, with no hope of salvation. Just imagine what might happen if you told a suicidal schizophrenic that he was eternally doomed, with no hope of salvation.

And don't forget...You gotta give me .

Now, THIS is my kind of room.

Take away all the TWI inspired materials and what is there really left to teach?....Sing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me", eat some stale cookies and say "Bless You" as you shake hands on the way out the door.

I've encountered similar scenarios in the corporate world. To be fair, though, I can't recall any of them professing to represent God Almighty....more like the almighty dollar.

Oh Lordy! If the devil finds out we know the greatest secret in the world today and suspects we might tell someone else....Well, there's no telling what he might do.
