Re: The Way: Living in Love Tell a lie enough times and you will start to believe it. Put it in print and others will start to doubt it.....eventually

Yeah.....I think that's the point. Heh Heh!

Here's a conundrum for you: How does an organization that was built on a multi-level-marketing structure continue to function, having long ago resigned itself to a single level existence?

4/30/75.....I don't think there was much happiness. Relief, perhaps ...but not happiness. Unlike Nam, though, the Geer fiasco doesn't seem to have an end date in site.

Well, sure.... But I don't think you're trying to delude yourself into believing life's problems will go way if you smile and ignore them. (Or are you?.....Hmmmmm?)

You guys just need to speak in tongues more. Feed that Christ in you some spiritual smashed 'taters and gravy. Renew your minds to the greatness of PLAF. Look what happened to Ananias and Saphira. They came in late for session #5 and God cold cocked 'em right then and there. Dat's Riiiiiigggghhhttt!

Happiness is cool but what some people call happiness is really oblivion and self delusion. Like this PMA stuff that gets promoted in work place settings. Can't acknowledge that real problems exist. You might have to do something constructive to solve them. Can't have that now, can we? Just smile and pretend everything is hunky dory.....not my cup of fig pep.

Best to let sleeping dogs lie.

I'm happy to say it's not me. (Hey! I helped pay for a glass eye. What more do you want?)

Nah, it's way beyond that stage.... more like a frog coming out of hibernation or something.

Here's a riddle for you. Why do people who have been out of the ministry for decades, upon rediscovering each other on facebook, suddenly fall right back in with the lingo and twisted logic they left behind so long ago?

Staying positive is highly over-rated.

Vehemently promoted abundant sharing but always managed to find himself on the receiving end. You need "all 9 all the time" to live the abundant life but those non-Christians in session one were doing just fine without them....go figure.

Clearly, he used the promise of material abundance to woo new class recruits....

Wierwille acquires a small fleet of vehicles to help him "move the word" but somehow can't seem to (not even once) visit the FellowLaborers, who are only an hour and a half away from HQ.

WOW training (1976?) Wierwille tells new recruits..."Keep it in your pants!" Meanwhile, back at the farm....

Why were we expected to live in communes and subsist on pluralities when he....Well, you know what he did.

Criticizes the church for following rituals and then promotes elaborate "events" that involve elaborate robes, mantles and religious apparel

Says the spirit inside us is perfect.... but...... we'll have to speak in tongues (much) to make it "perfecter". Why is it so hard to believe positively FOR something, when even the slightest of fears can bring it into fruition?

Talks about how we need not have any fear because of the Christ in us....then surrounds himself with attack dogs, armed guards and rule-enforcement thugs. I think maybe Dilemma is Conundrum's not so distant cousin.
