Exactly, Steve. How do we know these other groups (broad paintbrush?) were/are as closed minded as TWI portrayed them? Oh, I forgot, TWI told us so.

People sacrificed like CRAZY to promote PFAL.......And now it's in mothballs. Go figure.

Really, John? Education and religion are at odds? Why, then, do you suppose there are still credible institutions offering doctorate programs in theology?

No, actually, by your accepting said doctrine, it is you who is conceding there is a devil spirit behind Wierwille's statue.

If you really don't see the difference, I feel sorry for you. But, just for fun, let's play by your rules for the moment. In the Advanced Class, Wierwille taught that, behind every statue is a devil spirit. Supposing he was correct and the aforementioned really are idolotry, does that mean that a staue of Wierwille would be somehow LESS of an example of the same? It's a real dilemma, John. You see, if he was right.....well, I think you can see the obvious conclusion. If, on the other hand, he was wrong....he could had been wrong about a lot of things, couldn't he?

Yes, indeed. "How can you change the world, if you can't change yourself?"

Awww, lighten up, Sky. I mean, it's not like they made a statue of him or turned his grave into a shrine or somethin'.

Here is my own version of Way history. In 1916, a grifter was born to pig farmers in rural Ohio. For years, he practiced at perfecting his grifting skills until, years later, he stumbled upon a multilevel marketing business model. Using his polished oratory skills, a penchant for plagiarism and a thin veneer of Biblical references to lend credibility, he hawked his wares to the hapless masses, living high on a hog of another sort until, one day, he croaked. The end p.s. He was mad as a hatter.

Wierwille couldn't even explain the event. Silly SOB didn't even understand that throughly and thoroughly are actually the same word. So, he made up his own cockamame definition about inside and outside nuanced differences between the two.

Here's another silly little tidbit: The Wierwille "character" says that, when the denominations find out about his pamphlet, "they'll be mad as hatters", implying they would be angry. In fact, the expression has nothing to do with anger. It's an expression used to imply insanity. For a ministry that dragged on for hours about the meaning of "if", they seem to have neglected to do their homework on this one.

Rather interesting, too, that this little "production" succinctly slams the work of E. Stanley Jones, along with the others. You would think Wierwille might have had a little more respect for the man who originated one of his own catch phrases (Fear is sand in the machinery of life) as well as inspire the original concept of The Way Corps (the modern ashram).

You've raised an interesting point, my furry friend. A dilemma (Greek: δί-λημμα "double proposition") is a problem offering at least two possibilities, neither of which is practically acceptable. SOURCE Sooooo......What were these possibilities, exactly?
