Yeppers Ras... So grateful He loves me despite all my warts and shortcomings...He's my Daddy and I love Him so. Glad you're my Sis too! ;)--> Love ya! -Coll

Exactly Ras... It seems (in my life at least) we are so wrapped up in fixing ourselves and trying to ''buy'' God by works or whatever that we forget to just talk to Him. It's the times where I've poured my heart out to him in sadness, rage, happiness etc. that I ''hear'' Him. It's like He tells me...ok, now that you've stopped trying to do it yourself, I'll take it from here. Love ya! The Holy Spirit is my Comforter and my refuge and He always knows what's best. Love y'all, -Colleen GO VOLS!! ''...show a little faith, there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, oh, and that's alright with me...'' -Bruce Springsteen

Oldies, you mentioned Hitler. Love y'all, -Colleen GO VOLS!! ''...show a little faith, there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, oh, and that's alright with me...'' -Bruce Springsteen

HITLER???? Ummmmmmmmmmm...that's a bit of a stretch there darlin'. That's kinda like saying Bin Laden was a bad man, but at least he didn't aim the planes at a preschool or sumthin'. Love y'all, -Colleen GO VOLS!! ''...show a little faith, there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, oh, and that's alright with me...'' -Bruce Springsteen

Wowzers Huggy (;)-->) I didn't know that about the Jukes. Too cool. My uncle had a buddy who used to play with Springsteen before he left Freehold. Simpatico, I would love to see the Pretenders again too, Christie Hynde is a genius. I love the song she did back in the day about her child...the name escapes me now, but it was a very sweet song. I would love to hear Peter Gabriel sing ''Solsbury Hill'' again, just once. How 'bout the original Yes members? The Cars? The Fixx? Atlantic Starr? Love y'all, -Colleen GO VOLS!! ''...show a little faith, there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, oh, and that's alright with me...'' -Bruce Springsteen

Welcome the the 'ol greasy spoon, Teknon... I can relate to your story quite a bit. I'll explain; I was raised Roman Catholic and never really felt connected to God, just kinda went through the motions. Met a guy whose family was involved with the Way, shed some light on a lot of the ''vain repetitions'' and ''man made traditions'' of the Catholic Church and began to feel a real connection to God and this family. Took the class and spoke in tongues for the first time in 1988. My experience with TWI was not a bad one, not really. Now that is not to say that the experiences of other posters here should be discounted, they are truthful and sincere. I was very lucky because my TC's were my family and the branch that I belonged to were a great bunch of loving people. I decided to leave TWI in '94 because I was divorcing my husband and I felt that he needed to fellowship with his family. I still love that family btw, and they are still in. Sadly, the tight knit relationship I had with them isn't there. I still see them from time to time, but it's just not the same. I left at a time when Martindale was on his ''no debt, homos are the debil'' tyrades and I'm glad to say I did. I still have not found a ''church'' to feel at home, but I talk to the Father everyday and I know I am His, and He is mine. You don't need TWI to have a relationship with God, He knows your heart and He loves you. My email addy is JNCKraft@aol.com, glad to help if you need it. Love y'all, -Colleen GO VOLS!!
