Allan

Passed away last week (covid complications) in North Carolina. Me and my bro-in-law had our differnces but would never 'wish' this on anyone. We are helping support Mary and kids...RIP, see you  (soon) at the return.

Hi Twinky ! I'm pretty disturbed by this...is there much coverage on this where you are ? Is this sort of thing happening in the USA as well ??

Did you get booted, Allan?  Your thread about LCM doesn't seem to be here now.

'apparently' the word 'homosexual' has now been deemed 'political' and 'too controversial' for GS forum ! so I think I'll boot myself off lol

I didn't realise mentioning anything 'homosexual' was against GSC rules ?? Is this site really going THAT woke ?? If it is you're better to perhaps rename it 'Facespot" lol

One would be shocked if they considered how many millions of acres of 'cereal' crops are grown these days compared with 50 years ago...may have something to do with it ! On a nostalgic note, consider how many 'overweight' people were in residence lol...myself and eveyone I knew/know were razor thin whilst in rez...little wonder on a daily diet of toast for brekky, millet for lunch and baked potatoes for dinner :)

why do I feel like I'm watching an advertisement for a retirement home ??

Hi Mike ! If you can explain what the four things are in Proverbs 30:18,19 that Solomon couldn't understand, you might get my attention :)

What is a Way Corps minister?

Is a "way corps minister" one who has a special calling?

Does a "way corps minister" lose his calling when he/she exits, or is kicked out of, twi?

Do "way corps ministers" have a higher upgrade to minister to others than advanced class grads?

Moving forward after being cast out, this R&R group had to drop the wayspeak lingo fast........

Way Corps ministers.......Way Corps service..........?????

If they are no longer "way corps ministers".......are these guys no longer "reverends?"

 

 

.

I personally know a couple of names on that list that could be charged with historical sexual offences...doesn't bode well for the group, does it ?

LOL yes I did mean adulterous. Autocorrect strikes again.

I was out WOW when I walked into a certain Reverend fooling round with a 19 year old woman. I told my friend and he had seen them too. The Rev's wife was upstairs and Rev was in his office with his secretary, a new PFAL grad, "working on a teaching". I then found out from the child of this leader that this had been going on for a while. I sat on that information for a while. A few weeks later, that leader took the teen fellowship out for ice cream "his treat". He had me go to his office and grab some of the ABS to pay for the ice cream. I was taken aback when he told me to "grab a few hundred dollars". There were like 5 of us. We didn't need that much money for ice cream. When I went to get the money, the horn of plenty was not where he said it would be so I looked around and opened his desk and found marijuana and polaroid's of the secretary, nude.  After taking us out, he made a stop at Radio Shack and used the money to buy a car stereo. I couldn't deal with it anymore. Shortly after LCM came to the region for a meeting and my friend and I asked if we could speak to him. He said "yes". We told him what I just told you and he said "who the F do you think you are? You think God doesn't tell me what's going on? You think I don't know my calling? I don't see a 'reverend' in front of your name you fat little f***ot."

He was an inch from my face screaming at the top of his lungs. I was terrified. Then he told my mother, who gave me a beating and told her we are lucky he is letting us stay in the corps. I was 16. 

That was the beginning of the end for me. That summer was the Passing of a Patriarch. That was my last Rock. My mother was mad at me for months because I quit going to twig. Then was the truth started to trickle out she came around and we volunteered to DFAC. She herself was a victim of sexual assault by VPW, yet she thought I was making it up. How's that for brainwashed? 

     

 

And to think some of the Ar$ewipes are now starting 'same $hit diffen't day ministry' at Restoration and revival (including my bro-in-law)...hmmnnn...what are they 'reviving' I wonder ?!

I second what Twinky said, however, with this addendum to consider. Your mother at the time would have been under tremendous pressure from everybody from her twig co-ordinator to branch co-ordinator to...she would have been on such a mind warp attempting to justify the paying of first block of tuition and wherewithal to get to campus with all the gear that one is expected to arrive with...not to mention having every 'also' and every capitalized and little HS,hs in her Bible marked...tremendous, tremendous pressure, much of which you would not have seen...you said yourself, you were 'proud' of her for getting you guys into residence. We sold our home and flew half way round the world to get to Rome City (which Twinky can validate). Whether your mom is still in or had the sense to get out please do not put all the blame on her ! She could very well be kicking herself everyday without you knowing...first thing you learn in the corps "never apologize to anyone (except leadership) " Over time this mindset can turn individuals very hard, obstinate, pig headed...it's all subconscious drama that twi puts into peoples minds.

I mean it’s not like they have a research department working on any new material.  That was completely shut down.  So it’s just reorganize and reteach with fresh faces.

you left out an 'e' between a & c at the end :)

Hello 'probs an atheist' ! I'll give a slightly differn't perspective...I believe the organization is corrupt to the core and has been for a long time...it's quite perplexing because the Bible they teach, I believe, is STILL the greatest Word evvaa...the problem is they use a lot of it and twist some to manipulate people in the most offensive, horrible way...90 % of original leadership and people have left, leaving a 'skeleton crew'...The Word that is taught (which there are now other groups like CFFM.org) which are a lot more loving and godly to people with it will defs help you to believe in and for God, our loving heavenly Father !

Rhys and Grace have been out for a long time, same with Peter and Fiona...Peter is now quite a 'famous' science fiction writer...the Ghents still hanging around like blowflies. One suspects they're all trying to find a 'way' to unlock the cool million and a half tied up in a bank account lol

For anyone that knows David and Bonnie Weekly (or perhaps should I say, anyone who cares), they have been given a new assignment to Brisbane, Australia. They are now renting a two bedroom apartment. They are in their 70's.

have heard (only a rumour) that Donna is reconnecting with Craig.

yes I use Word as well, it's pretty straightforward except when proof reading and editing it throws the page numbers out lol.

look forward to it Mark...for example I've looked at the scripture where in the KJV it says Jesus breathed ON the disciples and said receive the holy spirit (John 20:22) the youngs concordance has a differn't spelling to the Interlinear which has a differnt spelling to the critical lexicon and concordance ! I just finished my first edition of 'Bible College in a day'...it's only a booklet of 40 pages and took 3 weeks...I cannot even imagine the effort involved to complete an 82k book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good on you though and God speed :) 

Lord God Almighty...The clips look like something straight outa Athletes of the Spirit !!!! Wish John coulda seen it in the 'original' !!!!...perhaps he DID

We were in Family Corp Indiana F25 ? In a room next door to a couple whose parents were staff at Ohio. We got tired of laying in bed trying to sleep because the couple had screaming matches every other night over an ongoing affair between the husband and another woman whose parents were ALSO staff at Ohio. We even went to our campus co-ordinator to complain BUT because the parents were staff...well...nothing was done. There were a few single moms in-residence as well and some of them would be flirting big time with married men. It was about the time where my wife and I walked into the corps kitchen and one of them was sitting on a bench licking an ice cream cone and looking suggestively at me that we both (after strong urging from my wife lol) decided to leave Sodom :) We were also frequently getting phone calls from the oirish git of a country co-ord back in New Zealand yelling at us that our marriage was so f---ed up. We flew back home even then willing to stay involved in twi BUT PRAISE GOD the Oirish wank sent someone round to tell us we were no longer welcome....HALLELUJAH !!!

Hmm, depending on when the Georgia person went to teach, either all of Georgia or maybe that person's county, would have had a shelter in place order they would have violated. I don't think they had to get groceries in Ohio.  I am sure a nicely recorded teaching could have been done and uploaded and projected somehow in the auditorium or they could have protected their staff and just had someone already at HQ teach! And does this mean they were running  classes when groups larger than ten are not supposed to meet?

 

They can't be transparent, they have to hide in the dark with all the skeletons in their closet.

Why in the world would JY apologize? Does this mean he was just going to submit to Rosalie and try to stay in the Way???? Like Rosalie has helped the Word prevailed or lifted a finger to help anyone?  For some reason i am just really upset for the DeLis*s because I remember how helpful they were to me long ago!  

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. When we informed leadership we were EXITING Way Corps Indiana, JYD got on the phone to me and verbally lashed me saying our airfares home would be paid BUT we had to keep our mouths shut as to what we had seen going on. The guys a wank AFAIC !

I think their love was summed up in one of their sayings that got thrown around in-rez..."You're the breast, rub ya".....

feels like we are 'at war' all over again...this time from the inside out !!

he was buried in Fort Wayne Indiana, which is probably why he got a mention

Got it !! Big thankyou to Re. Wayne Clapp :)    You can apologize later Raf  :0

If I had more information, I'd know where to start.   I didn't hear about this.

What's EVERYTHING you remember about this, no matter how trivial?

 

will dig around myself more...just remember VP talking about him....came to the States from Africa late nineteenth century after God had instructed him to go there to learn more about the Word of God...nothing to do with twi but he was brought up I guess because of his believing...I may email a couple of former clergy and ask as well.
