It's very obvious even in mainstream media that 'leftie' leaning liberal journalists can be vicious, sarcastic and condescending at the best of times...

Wayne really nailed it for me when he Exergised John 3:16 and then went into the meanings of eternal, forever and ages...

Some of THE best teachings I've heard on these subjects were by men after they had left twi...Wayne Clapp's 'Hell is not a place of eternal torment' and John Nessles 'Who is this Jesus Christ' were/are absolutely skillful' brilliant, impactful....

saved by water baptism ? What if there's no water ?...saved by confession ? What if there's no priest ? The thief on the cross was perhaps a 'shadow' of what was imminent ? Thank God, Jesus came to SIMPLIFY SALVATION !!!! Thank God the Apostle Paul received the 'new' revelation in it's entirety....

I don't mind calling you out...you sound like an 'innie' posing as an 'outie' lol...what you couldn't join and post as an imposter for longer than a month ?? Sure, see you at the Rock...I need a fresh reminder of how delusional people can 'manifest' hypocrisy...

Joyful Sound...this reminded me of one time in-Rez at Indiana Campus...LCM was visiting and sharing stuff in Campus Chapel...as he was speaking he looked down and played with a jade ? bracelet around his wrist...I immediately felt nauseous and close to passing out...I closed my eyes and s.i.t. until the feeling had gone....LCM certainly wielded some type of spiritual 'power'...so yes, I know EXACTLY what you are saying !!

WordWolf said..." As you probably know- now if not decades ago when asbestos was popular- the thing has been responsible for a lot of deaths all on its own! Breathing in asbestos fibers is incredibly harmful to one's lungs, and can lead to a problem with its own name- asbestosis. (Feel free to look it up.) You might say that all people have to say about asbestos is negative now, and they ignore the good it's done. I think most people would reply that asbestos may have done well- and I would say it's saved lives- but it's more important to point out the incredible dangers of exposure to this dangerous substance than to focus on some of the benefits and IGNORE the dangers that could suffocate you or kill you. " I would say both asbestos and twi can kill in the same 'way'....slowly, cruelly and sucking the oxygen out of you....

Well said...whilst I hold fast to much of TWI teaching I would never EVER be stupid enough to be enticed back...and I've been certainly been 'romanced'...

Nice words Joyful Sound :)...Me and my family prospered after LEAVING TWI...I put it down to seed sown years previously. We still hold onto much of the 'Word' and occasionally listen to some of LCM's latest teachings (have learnt even more, newer stuff from that) but do not fellowship with any particular church as almost always within the first 5 minutes they're preaching trinity, or the dead are alive or some such diatribe...Psalm 119:104 all day...!!

Way Productions...God Awful Hillsong music...inspirational, transformational...

Off Topic

Really enjoyed "The America we deserve" "Time to get tough" books :)

Which is why I watch SKY and Fox amongst others...MSNBC, CBS, etc....are a running joke.

Well Nate, if you want to start getting 'political' about it, GB News is my favourite...ABC whether it be UK, USA or Australia is way too 'left leaning' for my taste.

I actually agree, I've been temporarily banned for being less politically vehement than this lol....'orangeman' is simply name calling by those who have no better argument...peace out

From what I've been seeing on UK news Twinks, many, many Britons would happily swap the 'orange man' for that sack of oatmeal mush, Keir Starmer...Farage 2026 !!

here in Australia google comes up with..... Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) in that order. I'll go by what the current administration has renamed it....Gulf of America.

So glad to now be after having been unburdened from what has been....

Thanks 'Twinks' and you just reminded me of a wonderful fellow International Corps sister who went up and rounded up extra blankets for us all :) ;)

I remember ROA '89/'90 ? as a Way Corps F20 participant. Internationals were assigned separate tents with a list of 'do's and don'ts, one being no food to be eaten IN the tent. Fair enough, so we sent our 5 year old to eat his cookie sitting on the EDGE of the tent so any crumbs would fall OUTSIDE the tent. No, no,no...not good enough for one beady eyed (or is that eagle eyed) Bless Patrol dropkick by the name of Mike W.... he came running up to raucously admonish my 5 year old about FOLLOWING RULES. So we obligingly moved our son another one foot outside to finish his cookie. Somehow, for some reason only God knows, our 5 year old put one leg inside the tent....well....Mike W.... came racing up because he had been hiding behind the side of the tent to say "Gotcha"...I think it was the only the third time In-Rez I told someone to Fark off...to which he obediently replied lol.

To everybody here have a maganificent 2025 !!!

I remember the Foundational class we took in Auckland New Zealand in '89.....audio, with cards being held by someone up the front ( Hi Fi !!) lol...was a hoot watching the cards sloowwwlllyyy dip towards the floor as the card holder drifted in and out of consciousness, oblivious to the little 'ding' from the audio bell....

Wow...must have been decent size classes ??

Just wondering....was it really fun to stay at the YMCA....??

Neither I nor others have mentioned anything about threats real or implied of being 'booted off' GSC...and tbh it would hardly be a 'life changing' or devastating occurrence would it now :)....it was merely mentioned that there are posters on here who are very skewed and abrasive and insulting to others who post with a differn't view point to theirs...be honest now...GSC aint no 'all embracing' 'bipartisan' fest of forgiving disillusioned former cultists lol...and really, those particular posters should know better having lived through the abuse of twi.
