It's nice to know I'm not the only one with that problem.

I believe ScoutFinch02 is the winner!!! Here is a ink to Western State College of Colorado that shows the big "W". http://www.western.edu/

Gunnison's school district is officially called Gunnison Watershed School District. I don't really know if that explains the "W". Just a wild arse guess.

More "Tops"

Thanks, Linda (Guess I should have put this on About The Way)

Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks, George.

Bible Dave I wholeheartedly recommend you take a bit of time and familiarize yourself with some of the articles and documents that are right here on GSC. Then, maybe, you can argue your point on a case by case basis. waysider

Just wondering. Can anybody remember a time when the Motor Coach came to your area on official "Ministry" business? How about "The Twig Hopper"? Ambassador One?

Geeze, Too bad Wierwille didn't do that!

HaHa!! That's a hoot, Linda. I had to enlarge it to see that they are dogs. Very cool

A little music to get the party started. "Hit it, Igor!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaZqpbNzRMU

Excellent post Spectrum49! I wonder if the OT priests used any of the tithe for fancy motorcycles, classic cars, private jets or motor coaches.

I can just see it now. 3 year old: "I'm Thor." Adult: "I'm sorry. How did you hurt yourself?"

Literal translation according TWI usage " Think exactly what we tell you to think or the Boogie Man will get you!" (I wish i hadn't seen it in the original.)

There is specific criteria that can be used to determine if a group is a cult. This criteria can be approached and applied in an objective manner if one has a desire to do so. Some groups display certain characteristics but lack others. Consider, for example, the fans who turn out for Rocky Horror Picture Show. Much of the behavior surrounding the immediate experience of being in the theater is cult-like in nature. I would not call these people a cult, though, because many of the key defining elements are missing. One of these elements is the presence of a charismatic leader. Also, as far as I know, once these people leave the theater, they return to their normal lives. It doesn't consume their daily thoughts. The Way was a cult. We had a charismatic leader. We thought he (and we) had some special truth that was exclusive. The activities of The Way consumed our thoughts, day in and day out. We obsessed over our involvement. The list goes on. The point I am trying to make is that it is not an act of bitterness or hatred to acknowledge the reality of The Way's true nature. It's just a simple statement of fact.

What are the kiddies (or Grand-kiddies) dressing up as this year? Any cool decorations or parties planned? Pix? p.s. There was a thread like this last year but I can't seem to find it now.

'All My Love For You"

This is a straw man argument. http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/straw-man.html E. W. Kenyon has nothing to do with the original premise.

One more "shoe" tune.

"It must be jelly, baby Because jam don't shake like that!!"---------Bill Clarke (Guitar player is Liz Claiborne's son)

I believe the key to understanding the apparent contradiction here lies in understanding how TWI defines "Serving The Lord with Gladness." I understand what that means in a general sort of sense but what does that mean within the confines of TWI doctrine? Does it mean recruiting people to join their ranks, take their classes, offer up free labor, provide financial support? That would seem to present a dilemma if it is the case. Maybe someone who is still "in" could offer some detail addressing this question.

Meow!!!

It was a money making pyramid scheme, designed, initially, to fill the coffers of one VP Wierwille and afford him opportunities to satisfy his many varied lusts. Thinking it was anything noble is really an exercise in self delusion----IMO
