So anyhow, My point was that there is an element of fear that is woven into the very fabric of the PFAL series that plays a very integral role in the structure of the TWI belief system. There is an ever present fear that you may be inviting devil spirits by not properly renewing your mind. There is a fear that others may detect your unrenewed thinking and draw their own conclusions. It's always there. It's woven throughout the PFAL series of classes. Either you drive your mind to adopt the approved TWI mindset or you become a master of disguising your true thoughts and emotions. Either way, you lose.

I'm sorry if my answer appeared to be flippant. I certainly didn't mean it to be so. But,this question is a bit like the old question of whether or not God can make a rock that is too big for himself to lift.Anyhow, if you really want to explore this question, you first have to understand that our modern day concept of "satan" is not derived from the Bible. The Real Devil

I guess you have to buy into the whole devil thing before it really matters to you.

Manifestations of holy spirit? Can't honestly say that I do. (At least not as TWI defined them.)

Stones and Buddy Guy

And here's a real twist. Muddy covering The Stones! HERE

Buttons???? We don't need no steenking buttons!

A "twofer"----hee hee hee My link

When he talked about operating "all 9" all the time, he was clearly delusional.

Oh, Lordy! Somebody stop me! I'm on a roll. HERE HERE AND HERE HERE AND

Here's a couple more for fun. CLICK

Everything old is new again.

Is "skirt chaser" a ministry? I'm just sayin'------

Maybe what LCM really said was that he could be CEO of a fortune .500 company.

I suppose you could--------if you happened to subscribe to Calvinism.

Then again, maybe it was just a side effect of the contaminated well water.

I went to my first ROA in 1972. It was a refreshing change from some of the debauchery of secular rock festivals I had attended. It was all downhill after that.

I really think I can say with great confidence that I would not have followed any such orders. Maybe I left TWI before it got to this point. I don't know.

VeePeeWee was a common grifter, not an apostle. Trying to assign some sort of spiritual significance to his efforts is an indication that one is still, to some degree, being influenced by the deception. (IMO) Elsie Em, on the other hand, was a grifter's apprentice, not a prophet, who didn't have what it takes to master the confidence trade and got tossed out of the apprenticeship program.

You have a good memory, taxicab, even without the notes.

I'm not sure anyone (at least not me) is saying that human nature is evil. What is being said is that the true nature of the cult was evil. In other words, no one would have joined the cult if they knew they were joining something evil. Even that statement is probably not entirely true but I think is is true in the majority of cases.
