Raising children vs. witnessing and undershepherding Witnessing and Undershepherding (syllabus) Pg. 2 Our goal in in witnessing and undershepherding: "The basic reason we witness is to help people into the classes on Power For Abundant Living and help them to walk on it." -------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE LCM was presumptuous to act like we OWE twi our utmost commitment beyond our lifetime. VP wasn't like that. VP may have expected more of way corps, but he knew that it doesn't do God any favors to guilt people into serving. He as much as said that in the way living in love somewhere He may have said that in the book, but, it certainly wasn't reflected in the way he dealt with Gary Dunhoff's death.

Railroad tracks need to be parallel. Maybe that explains why TWI "jumped the track".

What do they owe "us"? Accountability------and an apology.

You'll just have to get a clearer image in your mind, T-Bone, and stay reeeeaaaallly focused on it.

This one just blows me away!

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Everything in life is one big Way reference for you isn't it? No, I don't think raising a child is anything like witnessing and undershepherding. According to the W&U syllabus, the stated purpose of witnessing and undershepherding is to sign people up for the PFAL class. Do you see any discrepancy here? edit: Sorry for the derail Twinky. Now we can get back to CFFM (or wander over to the soapbox thread.)

Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I should have.

Why is it when we talk about Wierwille, we so often feel compelled to compare him to Biblical figures? He wasn't a Biblical figure. In fact, aside from the fact that he used the Bible as a backdrop, there was nothing especially Biblical about him at all. Same thing with incidents we experienced in The Way. Why do we compare them to incidents that happened in the Bible? We don't live in Biblical times. We live in a completely different time and culture. Me, personally, I think VPW was more like Harold Hill from the Music Man than anyone in the Bible....except, of course, for Wierwille's unhappy ending.

Same reason we post on ANY thread, Pinky..... To take over The World. Mwahaha!

Isn't that what they did, in essence, by filing for 501( c ) status?

FREE POST!!

Makes me wonder why God would put his trust in the "weakest link", VPW.

Hopefully the "founder" isn't singing.. I'm my own Grandpa... I'm my own grandpa...

Alex: The Singing Ladies Contestant: Who would possibly think they could influence any honorable or sustainable investment of anything else?

CMA tuition Some serious coinage. How does one graduate from CMA and qualify for a Pell grant? (If, in fact, he ever received such a grant.)

Ha! I always wondered why "Roll Away" became such a favorite.

Maybe they should reconsider their stance on bake sales and car washes.

Nothing wrong with grants and scholarships. I'm just wondering where "the balance" comes from. I mean, surely, no one has ever dipped into the ABS till to make up the difference, have they? The IRS would surely frown on such a thing.

20,814..... annual tuition, etc. -5550......Pell grant ---------- 15,264 Does a staffer have the ability to make up this difference in cash (No debt policy, remember?)

He graduated from Bowling Green?, the same Bowling Green that has been linked to the offspring of other Way leaders? I wonder where his tuition came from. <_< I sure hope it didn't come from funds that were meant for 501c purposes. That would be embarrassing.
