  1. I'm sorry but your request needs to be submitted on a 3x5 card, not a 4x6 card or over the devil possessing internet. Please resubmit your request appropriately and include a salted committment to "report back" once you have followed our advice.
  2. Well, folks - here's proof from the horse's mouth that all they are doing is re-reading TWI publications in this training.....Also, looks like nothing has changed at all...... WC Training: ….”not a day goes by that we have not reflected on our training and gleaned from what it has provided. Whether we’re working our secular occupations, cleaning our home, planning the work of the ministry, or believing to minister to people’s hearts and lives, the WC training has helped to make it better…” At Gunnison the in-res WC program is preparing men and women for a lifetime of Christian service. During their two years of training, they immerse themselves in God’s word and practical leadership skills. Whether in study hall, learning in class, working at Gunnison, preparing to teach, or harvesting logs for firewood, the students are being prepared for leadership service. The WC learn to lead wisely and lovingly. HA HA HA HA HA 2 Tim 1:13 – Hold fast to the form of sound words…. Upon arriving at Gunnison in Aug 2005, the student body participated in a time of orientation to build heart and vision for being successful in managing practical areas of their lives while in res. The students were taught leadership skills such as detailed scheduling, communicating and reporting back, maintaining effective filing systems, budgeting, and other practical management principles to help them as students and leaders. (I wonder if they also teach that you can’t put spoons and forks into the same sections in the dishwashwer – to make sure the handle of the coffee pot, the spoon and the handle of the coffee cup are facing the right way – to make sure the triangles on the carpet are perfect when vacuuming…. Maybe that’s where my ex learned those things…) Because the motto of the WC is “It is written”, the students first learn what God’s word says about these areas. Then in the training they faithfully build upon that solid foundation – layer by layer, principle by principle, truth by truth. Phil 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment….. In the fall the students focused on a series of study times called “Ministry Resources Studies” TWI provides resources such as oral teachings and written publications that contain Biblical research and teaching. This research and teaching of God’s word helps people to understand and apply it. During these study times, the in-res WC learn to adeptly utilize these resources to help themselves and others. The students were presented with hypothetical but common situations where they may be called to serve. In searching out word-based solutions, they learn to use the word taught in current STS services and Rag articles, on TWIs website and in our ministry books, publications and oral teachings. One student in the final year of training shares, “The ministry resources study times are not only inspiring to me to dig deeper into the truths we have available right at our fingertips, but they’re also building my confidence in becoming a minister. I have more boldness now in knowing where to go to help people in various life situations. What is even more exciting is that I am building such a healthy word-based habit in my life, and I can help others build it in theirs.” Study hall is also a focused time in the Bible that helps the students build strong study habits. One recent grad writes, “Working in the publications dept at hq allows me to use many of the things I learned in study hall. Each day I believe to help make each publication the best before it goes to print. It’s an exciting adventure, and I work with loving and encouraging people – a team of WC and AC grads. I am thankful for the training that showed me how to build hours of disciplined study into my life in that wonderful Household Commons Library….” A new activity to help the students grow in communicating clearly and precisely was a training in announcements. This class was geared toward presenting formal and informal announcements. The students were given audiocassette examples of informal announcemements mad at various noon meals at hq. In addition, they watched STS videos for examples of formal announcements and promotions. Then they were each assigned to prepare and present both a formal and an informal announcement. One student commented, “I saw the word behind both the preparation and the delivery of the announcement. I saw how important it is to deliver the message with godly intent and heart, as well as to be accurate and precise.” Communicating the heart of God and the ministry in this manner helps to prepare the WC for a lifetime of Christian service. 1 Tim 4:6 If thou put the brethren in rememberance of these things, thou shalt be a good inister…. These are all examples of how the WC training prepares folks to be good ministers of JC. The students build God’s word and practical leadership skills into the fabric of their lives, growing in their confidence and their joy of service. A recent WC grad writes, “I have been so blessed serving in my first assignment. I really see how the training helped me to grow in every aspect of my life. I see that no matter what I am asked to do – I can do. Whether I am working in the office, serving in the OSC dining room, doing hair and makeup for the STS or volunteering for snow removal, I am here to serve. I know I’ll be successful because WC training taught me to love to serve, to be flexible, to be gracious and to believe that God is my sufficiency in every situation. I am ready and willing to do what I know and even what I don’t know because I am willing to learn. Ps 21:2, says you have given him his heart’s desire…. That describes me! God has withheld nothing from me I am very thankful for how God works in our leadership to teach the best of what is available to the in-residence WC. How can I not want to serve Him for a lifetime?”
  3. Info on the AC Spay-shul This is paraphrased to keep Paw from getting into trouble. I will be using the vee pee technique of paraphrasing. ;) The AC specials are coming to TWI!! AC grads will be able to fellowship around the greatness of God’s word at TWI HQ at two specials planned for Nov 24-26, 2006 and April 20-22, 2007. AC specials give grads of the class series the opportunity to get together and study a topic from God’s word in depth. At these events, AC grads deepen their understanding of the scriptures and learn how to manifest the power of God to a greater degree. Participants of these will also enjoy a time of rich fellowship with others from all over the world who have gathered at the heart of our worldwide ministry hq. The desire of AC grads is to become more skillful in the Word and these power-packed specials will offer graduates penty of material for their continued study and growth. In November, participants will study the scriptures on the topic “The Renewed Mind: The Key to Power”. Then in April 2007 the grads will study “Ambassadors for Christ: Living the Word”. Both events will present AC grad level teachings in the household sessions with the doctrine of God’s word being the foundation for each week-end. Because the aim of education is action, the teachings will show students in a variety of inspiriting ways how to carry out that doctrine in their practical walk. The schedule will also provide time for the participants to review and “re-search” (sic) the scriptures, solidifying what they have learned. In addition to the many exciting Biblical teachings, the AC specials in 06 and 07 will have live Way Prod, sweet fellowship and delicious food. By making the commitment to be a part of one of these at international hq, disciples can anticipate an abundant and power filled time of blessings and refreshment in God’s word. After attending AC special in 2004, one excited participant shared, “There is power in God’s word. Because of my desire and decision to grow in His word, I saw God’s power go into work mightily in my life. He also opened doors for me to bring His power to others by allowing me to serve in leadership capacity in my local fellowship, in my job and in my community. This special was like the icing on the cake, and I’m ready for a second helping.” Another jubilant student shared, “There is no doubt that by spending ore time in the Word, I will have more truth to share, more love to give, and more power to prevail.” As believers partake of the “more” that God has made available, He will open doors of service for ways in which to give more in life and, in turn, to receive more of His abundance. The registration deadline for the Nov. special is Friday, Sept 8, 2006. For April, 2007 – Fri, Feb. 2007. Registration for each event is: - $160 for adults - $110 for dependents 16-23 years - $110 for WD alum Qualified grads may attend either or both based on availability.

  5. Maybe you just have to read it in the original.
  6. Just wanted to pop in and say Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful that my family no longer qualifies to attend the glorious and most spiritually significant event of the year. We will have a traditional thanksgiving dinner and enjoy the company of our "earthly" family instead.
  7. I've never heard the song. I feel deprived. Thanks for sharing all this with us mushrooms. Happy Thanksgiving to my favorite GSpots!
  8. Jason, I’m not saying that you’re wrong. I don’t know and I have no reason to doubt you, however, you have to admit that it’s pretty hard to believe and understand that those evil people don’t know what they’re doing when you’ve had your life destroyed by them and you know darn well they know that they destroyed your life and lied to you in the process. It’s like you said ‘ignorance of the law is no excuse” and I think that people do have an idea of what’s normal and what’s not. Maybe they believe they are truly of the only household of God and the only ones with the truth, but they are the same ones who know that vee pee pee plagarized much of his work, so they must be insane to believe what they do. These are some of the excuses given to justify lcm’s infidelities and abuse of women. Are you saying that the many many wc who covered for him and went so far as to defend him to people actually believe these things? LCM admitted that he has a problem, a 'weakness' when it comes to having sex with many partners, he likes variety. His "apology" was that he knew he had blown it and was sorry that he had not had it covered better ! -- He said that having sex was no different then being drunk and he should just be forgiven -- He explained that sex is a need just like any other need and God wants our needs met, that no laws of God were being broken and that we are not subject to bondage because we are free, and that flesh is flesh and spirit is spirit. -- He said that the husband of the wife he was having sex with, needed to grow up and get over it because it was only sex. -- That it was only a penis and a vagina and that it was no different then a kiss on the cheek, or a hug, it is just another form of physical contact. -- He said that it could not be wrong with God because of all the revelation that he has been getting for the past ten years [Which is a clear indicator of at least how long this kind of behavior had been going on] -- He purported that this helps him with his ministry and was therefore good for the whole ministry -- He compared himself to King David and said at least I did not kill her husband -- He explained to me how Jesus Christ and Paul both traveled with women who provided sexual companionship for them and being married really didn't make any difference -- He talked about the lockbox and how important it was to keep confidentiality. -- E & J H*rn*y have been said to tell people that there is nothing in the Word that says that you cannot have sex with whoever you want. There is nothing wrong with it. They have said that as long as you can handle it spiritually then it can be a profitable thing and God has no problem with it. Someone was told these sexual practices were not only fine with God but even required if you wanted to move further with God.
  9. I’m reading this thesis that was posted about in the Doctrinal forums and I found this quote to be very interesting and telling: ***************** II. Do the research A. In research, I always start with the Foundational Class. It serves as the springboard from which I bring my teaching. B. Next, I go to the collateral readings for the Foundational Class. Volumes I through V of Studies in Abundant Living by Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille are an integral part of my foundation. In fact, they are among the greatest examples of teachings available. C. I also check Sunday Teaching Service tapes, The Way Magazine, scriptures indexes, and class syllabuses. This is where research begins. Research means to "re-search" or "search again." Repetition aids learning ; therefore, use material that has already been worked. Once your foundation is sure, other study materials help illuminate God's Word, such as concordances, lexicons, and atlases. Xi xi"How to Prepare a Teaching," The Way Magazine , November-December, 1986, p. 15. This quote demonstrates the total dependence upon Wierwille developed by those who continue to follow him. All materials mentioned in the article were either written by Wierwille or are Wierwille approved. (It is interesting to note that the Bible itself is never encouraged to be read by itself, i.e., without any help from Wierwille!) ********** It’s equally interesting to note that articles very similar to this have been printed numerous times in the rag. In fact, I know for certain that this is what they are currently teaching the wc in training. Additionally, they have them using study time to prepare witnessing scenarios and how and what to share to meet different needs using only the Sunday Teaching Service. Think the twi(t)s have changed? Not at all. Not at all.
  10. Thank you all very much. Bramble, that's a great website. I have much to read. If you're interested, I'll let you know what I find out.
  11. Wow! That does sound an awful lot like vee pee pee's teachings. The power is within us and works for saint and sinner alike. Guess God really doesn't have anything to do with it - it all keys off the power of the mind and even then, we may not know what we're asking for. Scary. vee pee pee did learn from quite a few spiritualists and this was heavily protected and justified within the organization.
  12. Dan, I plan to try your approach. Sounds like I might learn more that way anyhow. :D-->
  13. I was thinking about this at fellowship last week. I do think I've heard my bc say that people were hurt and things were done wrong in some ways. They never mentioned people or situations and never, but never intimated that they had done anything wrong. It was other leadership who had done things wrong. Does that count? -->
  14. What's the difference between: Methodist Presbyterian Baptist Aren't Catholic, Episcopal and Luthern about the same? Just some things I've been wondering....
  15. Achieving our Word Based Goals By Steve Crommett – class of 81 and serving as International Outreach Dept coordinator at twi You’d think this would be about true word-based goals such as being a better Christian, being more thankful, getting closer to God, etc….. In any true church it probably would be, but not for the twi(t)s…. God’s vision for the temple in the OT was that it would be a place for the people of Israel to gain knowledge of and love for God and for them to find refuge from their troubles. God revealed the plan to David, but it was David’s son Solomon whom God directed to carry out the actual construction. Once Solomon determined to build the house of the Lord his desire to achieve this goal was kindled greatly. Solomon prepared and implemented all the details of the plan. The temple took him seven years to build but when it was finished God was able to bring within its courts great deliverance to Israel. (God couldn’t bring deliverance to Israel until this temple was built???? Solomon was able to reach this word-based goal by applying the keys of godly planning. As sons of God who are born-again we can also operate the same principles that Solomon did! (Yee haw) I’m going to show you 4 specific keys that you can apply in order to triumph in achieving your word-based goals – decision, desire, details and deliverance. (COULD YOU TEACH SOMETHING NEW JUST ONCE?????) We make a decision based on God’s word then that proper, godly desire to do God’s will is energized within us. We carry out the details of our plan because we have the energy of our conviction to see it through to completion. This effort results in our deliverance because we grow in God’s power as we achieve a goal that God has made available to us in His word. Through this study we will use the term “godly planning”. What distinguishes this expression from simple planning? Time mgt expert Alan Lakein wrote that planning is brining the future into the present so that you can do something about it now. We may analogously define “godly” planning as bringing the promises of God into a present situation so that a disciple can believe them now. (You have to be a disciple – just a plain ordinary Christian doesn’t cut it.) Godly planning involves activities that a disciple prepares and executes according to the standard of God’s word (as it changes according to twi(t) whims and as we communicate those standards to you. Pay attention!) A disciple carries out godly plans in order to achieve “word-based goals” those that God as made available in His word to His children in this Grace Administration. Decision Consider the first of the 4 keys. In order to start achieving a worthy goal, we need to first make up our minds and decide what our goal is. Before Solomon got started 2 Chron 2:1 says that he determined to build an house…. He had to make the decision. Making a decision takes effort, and there are some practical steps we can take to help us be successful: determine the plan, record it in writing (you record it in writing because we are never putting anything in writing again unless absolutely necessary) count the cost and finally, commit ourselves to the plan. Each of these aids the mechanics of making a decision. Jer 10:23 – …I know the way of man is not in himself…. Prov 16:9 ….A man’s heart deviseth his way…. It is only the Lord who can truly direct a man’s steps. So in determining our godly plans we decide to direct our steps according to the revealed Word of God ( why do they always have to throw in arbitrary adjectives everywhere? Why does it matter if it’s the revealed word? How could we possibly direct our steps according to the “hidden” word???) Next we record our plan in writing. When David told Solomon that God had chosen him to build the temple he didn’t just communicate the plan for it’s construction verbally, he also wrote it down. 1 Chron 28:10,11,19 The act of writing down our plan to achieve a Word-based goal helps us clearly define the task before us. Then as we carry it out, we need not rely merely on our memory. We have a written record of our plan that we can trust and refer to as we follow through with the details. Hab 2:2 shows the benefits of jotting our goals down. ….Lord answered…and said…write the vision…. In this situation, God instructed Habakkuk to write the vision, to put it in a written form that would be plain and simple. Why? So that the reader would clearly understand it and be able to act on it. Another practical step in decision making is to count the cost of implementing our plan. In Luke 14 Jesus Christ (can’t just say Jesus, remember?) taught his followers that before they decided to become his disciples, they first needed to count the cost. The Greek word for “counteth” means to calculate. We calculate the cost of our plan before we embark on its execution. We take the time to consider how much time, finances and even physical energy. In our reckoning we often ask other mature disciples in the household who have carried out a similar plan to advise us on our godly goal. (but don’t ask about how to pay cash for a house because they can’t advise you. ) maybe we overlooked something that would be a sound reason for reconsidering some aspect of our plan. Careful attention and planning before embarking on our endeavors help to ensure God’s blessing and protection (If you don’t plan you don’t get God’s blessings and protection and we know what happens to those without God’s protection…. Desire The word “desire” usually associated with something a person longs or hopes for. It’s synonymous with wish, want, crave or covet. When we speak of godly desire we are referring to our motivation to do something according to God’s word, not according to our feelings. it’s God who works in us to have godly desire and act upon Word based goals. (that pressure you feel to sign up from the class comes from God, not us) Phil 2:13 …God which worket in you…. Once we have committed ourselves to our goal by making clear decisions then the proper godly desire to carry out that decision will be energized. We see this in Solomon’s example. Hiram when he learned of Solomon becoming king sent envoys to visit. Solomon responded by sending him a business proposal. In the message recorded in 1 Kings 5:3-6 he shared his decision to build the Temple. ( Why do they capitalize “temple” in this article?”) He also shared his desire to have Hiram supply the timber. Hiram said yes, thereby fulfilling Solomon’s desire. Solomon had made a decision and the godly desire to follow through on it was energized within him. He kept this desire for the 7 years he took to build the temple. (maybe this is their justification for taking 10 years to make the simplest change) We can do what he did and maintain our desire by steadfast believing. One of the greatest examples of this is Abraham….. Reason for his success is he was fully persuaded…..not weak in believing…hold an unwavering certainty….fully conviced….beyond a shadow of doubt….When we truly believe that God will perform what He has promised we can maintain our desire to reach that word-based goal without being discouraged. Obstacles do arise at times as we carry out our plan, so we prepare accordingly. The coordinator of a foundational class on The Way of Abundance and Power in one of our ministry’s International Outreach countries helped 18 students prepare backup plans so that each one could reach the goal of attending all twelve sessions at his house on time….(We knew this was coming, didn’t we??) They were set up to catch the bus early so that they could walk to class if the bus was running late. 90 minutes before one of the sessions, the Class coordinator (why capitalize the word class?? Are we worshipping the class?) learned that a convoy of trucks would be routed down the street in front of his home. The phone lines would be unhooked so the trucks would fit down the street. The police were closing the route including a bridge the students had to cross. Because they carried cell phones they were able to call the coordinator and he filled them in. They got off their bus and walked to class. 45 minutes before the session the landline was disconnected so other students called him on his cell phone. Ten minutes before class all 18 were seated and thankful for backup plans. Establishing backup plans helps overcome obstacles so that we can reach our goals. … Prov 2:11 ….discretion shall preserve thee…. Hebrew for “discretion” means thought, device or plan. The definition of “preserve” is to keep, guard or protect. Planning shall protect you could be a literal according to usage for this first part. Details Now we are ready to carry out the details of our plan because we have the energy of our conviction Solomon operated this principle extensively…. Just as Solomon had so many intricate details to carry out….we also have details that we need to accomplish as we execute our godly plans. There was order and method to Solomon’s work and there should be for ours as well. A helpful way to organize the details of a godly plan is to schedule the actions we need to take. One method is to follow the OATS formula – Objectives, Activities, Time and Schedule (adapted from the President’s Newsletter of Ketchum Public Relations)…. Making a schedule is a powerful act. However it is only as good as our faithfulness to carry it out…..Excerpts on this from Nov/Dec 2000 Way Rag “Practical Keys to Prospering and Prevailing” article (is this a lcm article?they don’t mention the author.) Planning is a function of the mind and it helps us control our lives. (it’s all about control, isn’t it?) Sticking to a plan, which is a very critical aspect of planning, is disciplining your mind to keep control over your body.(craiggers and others have set a great example for us here, haven’t they?) Once we have completed all the scheduled details of our godly plan, we are ready to receive God’s deliverance. Deliverance One dictionary (guess which one because he isn’t going to tell you) defines deliverance as the act of freeing or state of being freed. When we carry out our godly plans by making a decision, maintaining the desire and taking action on the details we see God’s deliverance. (how many friggin times have they had this sentence in an article or teaching?) Any positive-thinking person in the world today can achieve his or her goals by applying the law of believing HOWEVER, as God’s sons and daughters IN THE HOUSEHOLD, growing in our operation of His power, we can accomplish our WORD-BASED GOALS far beyond what we imagined possible. (Adding caveats of THE HOUSEHOLD to vee pee pee’s original explanation of the law of believing, aren’t we? Isn’t that “adding to the word”? :D--> So the power is in the mind, not in God is what I’m hearing you say there buddy.) After we make the decision, the godly desire to fulfill our plan is energized within us. We maintain that desire by steadfast believing. We carry out the details of our plan by making a schedule and faithfully sticking to it. Our believing efforts will result in prevailing deliverance. (didn’t he JUST say that exact same thing 3 times already?) The artwork on the article is picture of a notebook with an Objective at the top. The objective? Attend the Advanced Class Then it lists all the activities with deadlines: Repeat Intermediate Class - January Complete Registration - by Feb 2 Make Motel Reservations - by Feb 27 etc.
  16. I remember our bc telling us hfcs to tell some of the people in our fellowship to lip synch or sing very quietly because they were always off key. We never did. They were making a joyful noise and we were happy to have people in our fellowship who sang with heart and volume. Screw the bc. Who the he## does he think he is?
  17. She only reads boring statements when she speaks. Usually she doesn't even teach when she's up on stage, she just quotes a list of scriptures. The 3 times I did hear her actually teach something it was the same dam* teaching every time. It was truly amazing to hear people talking about how great the teaching was and how they got so much out of it. I was thinking....am I in the twilight zone? These people act like they've never heard this teaching before. The emporer really has no clothes! I do recall michele de lisle teaching one time and mentioned how skillful rfr was at pointing out things that needed to be changed in a teaching when the person was submitting it for approval to her. The words were kind, but reading between the lines you could tell there was a private joke going on among the people who had to sit through teaching review sessions with her. Linda, was that you who told about her lying and telling bobby moneyhands that you had resolved your problem so that she wouldn't be confronted?
  18. My Bible says God does not change and that the world is firmly established and can not be shaken. It also says the world will wax worse and worse. It doesn't mean that I have to. Not to say terrible things aren't going to happen. But, we do have the assurance that in the end, "He will judge the world with righteousness and all the nations with His truth". Ps 96
  19. CC, :D--> LOL indeed! :D--> If they want people to come back they have to establish some sort of trust and they are nowhere near being trustworthy. Take rfr out of office (she should be ex-communicated) Take dm out of office (she should be ex-communicated) Tell everyone about every lawsuit, settlements and pending lawsuits and lawyer fees Put a twi(t) elected board in place from all over the US mostly just plain wayfers and let them make the policy Increase the pay of the staff (not the wc ministers) and allow them to live off grounds and buy houses Rescind the no debt policy, teachings and requirements Come clean about how vee pee pee died Come clean about the prevalent abuse by vee pee pee, lcm, howard, don and other wc clergy Come clean about rfr and dm and rb setting women up for lcm (and probably vee pee pee) Come clean about Come clean about people who have been m&a unjustly and apologize to them publicly and invite them back. Come clean about vee pee pee's plagarism and how no one did anything about it Come clean about doctrinal errors and change them. Come clean about paying for the msnbc piece and other advertising and how much they cost Make your books honest and mail a copy to all the followers so they don't have to ask for them. Only a truly Godly organization would do something like that.....in twi(t)ville it'll never happen. Most people would not go back and the fact that new people don't stay speaks very loudly.
  20. JustThinking, they would say that too, but "your best" was sheer perfection to an ocd level. If you didn't get what you were demanding from God then you weren't believing and/or you weren't really doing "your best". Remember Matt. 17:14-21 about faith as a mustard seed? You trust God for the outcome. Trusting that He knows what is best, that He has the big picture. Trusting in Him we will have the faith to act, sometimes that means waiting. When waiting we can become more dependent on our relationship with God and more expectant. Looking for and finding Him everywhere. The key is not how much, just some. Romans 3:9-20 - ALL PEOPLE...ARE UNDER THE POWER OF SIN. NO ONE IS GOOD - NOT EVEN ONE. twi(t)s forget that none of us are perfect. All of us sin. And God blesses us and answers our prayers DESPITE how imperfect we are. It's a shame that they put so many people under bondage and fear of not "deserving" the goodness of God.
  21. Hooner, Welcome! I'll buy your next cuppa java. I never realized how sexist that section of the book is. I'm sure there's more that I missed. How blind can someone be? That should have been a major red flag. Great posts.
  22. Be good to all men but ESPECIALLY to those in the household of faith. Emphasis put properly according to the twi(t)s.
  23. JT, Naw, it's the same crap as it's always been. Every article is about obedience, outreach, abundantly sharing or how great the "ministry gifts" are and how "blessed" you should feel to follow their orders and kiss their feet. HaR, Glad to have some help showing how much the twi(t)s have not changed despite their claims to the contrary.
  24. Advertisement for Christians Should Be Prosperous: Grow in God’s power, and you will see it manifested in your life – financially, physically and spiritually. Claim the joy and prosperity God has watiting for you as you apply the Biblical principles taught in this study. (altered slightly to not be plagarized) Excerpt from a very non-informative article about the Way Disciples: One of the new faithful believing believers has impaired hearing. She has asked us to believe with her for her hearing to improve so she can hear every word of the teachings at fellowship. She and her husband read our ministry booklet Christians SBP a few weeks ago and immediately started abundantly sharing faithfully. They were so very blessed to find out that God wants us to expect blessings in return for our giving. Although they had been Christians for several years they had never been taught this principle of prosperity. (the person who wrote this letter may get a bonus for getting a new abs’er in their fellowship)
