now I see

I am dealing with that exact thing in a child abuse case right now, where both the parents/guardian are the abusers, but since the police and child services people didn't see it, it didn't happen...verrrry frustrating!!

Would it be inappropriate to want the institution of twi to be closed down and ended?  Is there any reason it should go on, business as usual, as it is now?  I don't see anywhere in the bible Jesus wanting the whited sepulchres to continue on doing the same.

Being ignorant of what went on is one thing, supporting it now is another.

"i'll show you what's good about being alive"

Excie, that one line is so repulsive to me, I don't see how anyone can defend this organization or it's history.  Some people decry this web board and say we are malcontents, I say, why don't they get a conscience?  

This is what really disgusts me about perserving twi, they are like what the bible calls whited sepulchres.  I don't recall anything ever written in the bible about perserving those.

I've got a book that shows different versions of verses, up to 26 different version are available on any verse with variences.  That is my favorite way of reading the bible now, I can see all the other translations right on the same page.  This kind of thing is also online too.

Jeff, you are right, it is revolting what TWI does to the bible and God himself!

I found my Corps list online, maybe on GS, that listed who was in and who was dropped out of my corps, and I noticed that anyone that appeared different from the mold had been dropped, anyone nerdy, fat, really skinny, ethnic, quiet, timid, odd looking, and bad teeth wearin person had been kicked out.  

Makes you go, hmm..

I've heard this one, and I know I know it, but it's just out of reach....Ahh, lightbulb moment ..steely dan, no, The Nightfly, Donald Fagen...the title...wait a minute, it is, New Frontier?

A most excelent album, from cover to cover, music that never ages...love that album

<_<  Probably-what else could it be?  

"Faux News" :lol: Good one Garth!

Ahh, your probably right Steve!, that was a good episode too.

Hey Jeffsio, I think those left at twi are being led about the nose and are following their leadership blindly, and those who are still following twi are somewhat braindead, lulled to sleep, in allowing others to weild such power over them as their moto of "the present truth", enables their leaders to continue doing so.  

Their whole pitch about "The Present Truth" is a butload of deception, how people can eat this snakeoil and call it good is beyond me. You could say and demand just about anything from people under the umbrella of this is the present truth! How slimey slipery of them to make this their motto. People have to be somewhat braindead, lulled to sleep, to allow others to weild such power over them.

Yeah, there's so much to go back to....

I think twi views all other religions as Pharisitic organizations, and all members of such churches as defiled Samaritans.

Ha! This is one of your better ones, GSG, good slight of hand move, now you see it, now you don't, tricky, but good, good movie too!

 "I don't like people looking at me like that."

There were some great one liners in that movie, I love, love, love, M. Night Shyamalan movies and scripts.

Hey Raf, you're up.

 We were supposed to draw a picture. Anything we wanted. I drew a man. He got hurt in the neck by another man with a screwdriver.

You saw that on tv? 

Everyone got upset. They had a meeting. Mom started crying. I don't draw like that anymore. 

How do you draw now? 

I draw... people smiling, dogs running, rainbows. They don't have meetings about rainbows. 

No. I guess they don't.

What am I thinking now?

I don't know what you're thinking now. 

I was thinking... you're nice, but you can't help me.
