Little goose-steppers

So,then, during your two stints as a WOW and one stint as a WD, you never encountered the term "empties floating by"? Saying that people are inferior to you is no different than saying you are superior to them.

I don't get it, either. But, I do like .

Straight out of the AC syllabus, page 21 or so. (1971) paraphrased, of course.

Yes, and none of which should necessarily negate its value.

It's not hard to understand, soul searcher. The Way taught that homosexuality is caused by a devil spirit. By associating with a homosexual, you were associating/conversing with a devil spirit. Plus, there were, supposedly, spy-type spirits (familiar spirits) that kept track of your conversations and such. They could use that info at a future date, to their advantage.

:eusa_clap:

It ain't easy finding out the Easter Bunny isn't real. We've all been there. It takes a while for the denial to subside.

OK---You went WOW 2x and WD once. Surely, then, you are aware that Wierwille taught cancer is essentially devil possession. Wierwille died of cancer. How exactly, does your "kinder, gentler", new TWI account for the obvious dilemma this presents?

Geeze! I haven't seen a straw man that was nearly this flamboyant in quite a long while.

Even if you wanted to contact them, (I don't) how would you do it? They hide behind the corn stalks in Podunk, Ohio. You need special permission to even attend their "church services" which are held in a big old building where, supposedly, "all are welcome".

If they are still teaching that Way followers are a special, superior breed of human that can conjure up special powers to exact physical change through magical thinking, I would be inclined to say they haven't changed.

Oh, I think quite a few ladies here can "understand" that. You don't have to look too far to find first-hand testimony of TWI related rape victims here. Re: pedophiles Did this "kinder, gentler" organization bother to tell you that they have a documented history of moving offenders from one location to another to avoid detection, much the way the Catholic Church has been doing for quite some time?

Sooooooo----from this post, it is obvious you have seen things being done in The Way with which you disagreed. But, you didn't rock the boat because you knew there would be undesirable, personal consequences. And, you feel somewhat powerless because you lack the rank to wield any clout that would result in change. Please tell me again how this describes a "kinder, gentler" organization.

The Way is an MLM, a multi-level-marketing organization that hides behind a thinly cloaked veneer of religiosity. That's what it has always been and will likely continue to be. It's really just that simple. Please note that I did not bash God, Christianity, The Bible, Homosexuals or even The Way, itself. I simply stated the cold hard facts.

So much of what was taught in the PFAL series of classes has been debunked regarding "accuracy", it would hardly seem worth anyone's while to stay/return to partake of the supposed "gentler, kinder" treatment, even if it were real.

Do they still teach "the law of believing"?

And don't forget to try the newest version, Bishop Bane. (satisfaction guaranteed or your innocence cheerfully refunded)

I have to think you at least understand The Way's party line regarding The Holocaust. :o

Actually, I think there were two others who made there way into PFAL-Ville via the same MLM along with F*rt..

STEED (oil additive)---- That's how F@rt got in the word.
