  1. Seriously, though, here is a Wiki about the holiday. You don't have to read very much to see how it conflicts with Way Theology.
  2. The Way didn't think of it. Need I say more?
  3. Oh, he was probably a seed boy, trying to talk you out of the word. Good thing you remembered to "STAND!!!!".
  4. Ethics aside, it certainly would have spoken loudly of the "abundance" of which they so loudly boasted.
  5. I started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum. My father left, he never even married Mom. I shared the guilt my mama knew, So afraid that others knew I had no name.
  6. Addendum verse: Oh, Lord, my God Check out my cushy tushy.......
  7. Interesting... In that old church hymn, , there are references to seeing the stars, hearing the sound of rolling thunder, how we "in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made", how "Thy power throughout the universe (is) displayed". But, curiously, no verse that describes looking at one's own package in the hallway mirror. What's up with that?
  8. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something very wrong with this scenario. How did a married, supposed pastor happen to find himself engaged in a discussion of naked bodies with a member of the opposite sex?
  9. A little Valentine's Day music....

    Cheapness

    All this cheapness....from an organization that claimed to have cornered the market on the abundant life. It goes beyond irony.
  11. Let's see...6-8 per living room....divide that into 8 million... Whoa! No wonder we had to stretch the coffee!
  12. What???? TWI had 8 million members???? :B)
  13. Believe it or not, we were told to ask funeral homes to "donate" flowers so we could recycle them at branch meeting and such. Cheap azz byotches!

  15. Pride has a fall....and rightly so. Because, like The Good Book says, "To everything there is a *season*."
  16. Oh, they were the same cups, alright. Like VPP once said, "You'll just have to trust me on this."
  17. Oh, you can, my friend, you can.
  18. I was in the right place but it must have been the wrong time.
  19. Learning to listen to that small, still voice.....CLICK
  20. Ya know, the best part is, you only have to make one big purchase. See, with proper stewardship and believing, you can make those suckers last through the next 2,3 spin-off organizations, at least. Hell's bells! Get your believing up big enough and you might even get them to multiply like the loaves and fishes or fall from the sky like manna.
  21. I remember one Saturday night in FellowLaborers, everyone else in the house had gone to do laundry or something. I was there alone, no T.V., no phone, no newspaper, just an empty apartment with no sound or outside stimulus to speak of. I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror and it was like a surrealistic moment. How did I get here? What am I doing here? How had I deviated so far from where I started that first night I was witnessed to? It was like a feeling of unexplainable and profound depression. Was I possessed? The Advanced Class had taught me that depression is a devil spirit. Eventually, I shook it off, refortified myself by recalling lessons from Dealing With The Adversary, Renewed Mind, and, of course, a remembrance of how we learned in session #7 that bad things happen to those who stop to "consider". So, yes, there was self consent/self delusion involved. But, we made those decisions to consent on a basis of flawed information. It's like buying a car because it has low mileage, only to find out that the odometer has been rolled back. You made the decision to buy the car but, the person who sold it to you purposefully misrepresented its true value. Well, I guess it would be easy to feel dumb about being deceived but you should never feel guilty. The deception wasn't your fault. They own the guilt, not you.
