Oh Happy Day!

BOZO REDENTOR

I just sorta faded into the night. I'm not sure they realize I'm gone yet.

The World's a can for your-----FRESH GARBAGE.

First---Let me say that I don't believe she was "acting". You simply can't live in a commune, 24/7/365, and "act" as if you are someone other than yourself. Second-- The seminar was run by outsiders, non-TWI people. The devil spirit explanation was merely the explanation that the leaders latched onto.

LOL!! The added flax seeds will certainly get you "going", though!!

This was far more profound and seemingly permanent. It was "explained" that she had been delivered from devil spirits that were oppressing her.

Yes to question #1. Yes to question #2. (At least 2 years, one of which was FLO.)

Sometimes I wonder the same thing, myself---about myself. Very good topic, excie.

Would someone like to take my turn?

What I have "become intolerant of" are thinly disguised, paraphrased regurgitations of PFAL.

Sounds like a paraphrased line, straight out of session #1.

Butter Pecan! :)

I think the kind of husband/wife relationship that Wierwille promoted was a product of the times and culture he grew up in, not a representation of the scriptures. (Rural America, during The Great Depression) I believe, like many other things he taught, he simply looked for scriptures that would substantiate his viewpoint with a bit of tweaking and twisting.

Hiya, Roy! It's sure good to hear your voice again. It sounds like you made a wise decision by choosing to leave the old trailer. You sound much better than you did a few months ago. Holy Hugs to you, Bro.

Wow!!! All we saw was glory. What a great tune, excie. It speaks loudly to what we "thought" we were seeing. Thanks!

Date And Switch

Sorry, Mr. B. I didn't see the poll at the top. I got "witnessed to", spoke in tongues, spoke in tongues and interpreted, prophesied, had what I would call a revelation type experience, and started the PFAL class all within the span of two weeks. Within two months, they made me a twig leader, mainly because I had a job, a car and an apartment of my own, where we could hold twig meetings.. Then, within another couple years, I took every class offered, including the AC, functioned as twig area coordinator, class instructor, chair stringer, coffee modification expert, duct tape master mechanic, and "flunky-on-call". It was a busy two or three years. Then, I moved to another part of the state to oversee things and run classes before going into Fellow Laborers. edit: "Date and Switch" got me to my first twig meeting and into the class. :(

I agree. I was 21.

Since you didn't specify the subject at hand, I'll assume you are asking, "How old were you when you "got in The Word"? I was 21.

I get what you're saying, Dot. When I said I "disagreed", it was a bit rhetorical. I wasn't really disagreeing with you. I was disagreeing with this part of the conclusion: "They were the smart ones to leave." Some of the ones who stayed were smart people also, but their decisions to stay may have been unwise. In other words, the judgment falls on the decision itself, not the person who made it. But, the monster was there regardless. Peace?

I wonder if they'll be adding a link to "Actual Errors in PFAL"? It seems like they would surely have to in order to present a " fair and balanced review".
