Dear Quit Thinker, Everything I know on the PC I learned by trial and error! I can't wait to learn how to make animated things and have goodies in my signature line...Hey at least you're well ahead of me with the UTube! That all impresses me so much. Thanks...Have a Great Night and don't work too hard! Love You, RainbowsGirl

Wow dmiller, That was so great and so well done! Is that you with the fiddle? We love music....and if we could.. let me know if it is for sale and how to get it. Josh's avenue for knowing God is through Godly music....and I will play that for him tomorrow! Thanks for the birthday treats! Love You dm, RainbowsGirl

Happy Birthay Lindyhopper! Hope that it was very special in everyway! Love You, RainbowsGirl

Thank You soooo much Quiet Thinker. Thanks for the Birthday wishes. It truly is my pleasure to know such outstand people! I enjoy all of your thoughts and wisdom and I admire your love and strength. I feel somewhat like a misfit in ways yet, as I only have known the truth about TWI for about 2 months. In ways I am still reeling and shocked! Thanks for welcoming me! When is your birthday QT and dm? Love You Quiet Thinker, RainbowsGirl

Thank You dmiller, For especially the beautiful rainbow birthday banner and all the great wishes! I wish you all could have been here. Josh and I had a grreat time! He is a party dude! He loves cake, music and people; especially ladies. He sure amazes me with his charisma. He has a girl in every store in town bringing him homemade treats..and most of them are married. Their husbands don't even mind...for a guy who mostly signs. he does right well in his communications; at time far better than me! Thank You again! It will be nice getting to know you and everyone here as well! Love You dmiller, RainbowsGirl

]Well... I am realistically sure that I am predomanently an idealist. I love to see the goodness, the talent and the abilities in people. I love to act in love...even when it doesn't seem realistic. I love the movie "Man of La Mancha". I love to dream the impossible dreams I can realistically relate far better with optimistic people than with pesimistic people. I prefer to wear my rose-colored glasses. It's not that I am to dumb to see, the shall we call it "darkness of this world" and to avoid it or preferably to eliminate it as much as possible...but the darkness is ugly and the light is so beautiful....so attractive. They are both real. The light illuminates me and the darkness obsures things. When the darkness falls I realistically act out my idealism; I try to help in ways I can. I am a flower child of the 60's..Life is experimental in some ways to me. (Hey and I didn't do drugs, nor am I having hallusinations, and I missed the free love part... essentially...LOL) Although, I have "heavy" (like the hippies used to say..LOL) responsibilities. I deal with them both realistically and imaginitively....realism reigns me in, as well it should, and is the staple of all my decisions. Imagination is as they say the mother of all invention...and what Mother doesn't need it! In life I think you have to be both..both are needed and useful..they often work well together. It is not so easy to face the harshest realities in this life. I like to have as many tools and resourses at my disposal as I can find....so after their cleared up or managed in some way; I can idealistically dream my dreams! I guess that's why I have been know to lack clarity...so if you don't understand this or have suggestions pm me. Love to All, RainbowsGirl

Dear Quiet Thinker, Thank You so very much for stating it so perfecting and eloquently how many of us have similarily felt concerning our similar experiences in TWI with our children or loved ones. I too thought reluctantly of responding to this topic.....as my poor arthritic fingers hurt and I am not eloquent; and just very glad that you did.... Specifically, I don't want sympathy either; so I'd rather not bring it up unless there is something I can learn! My son Joshua (30yrs) has a rare chromosome deletion of the 6th chromosome...p23 to p24.3. He has damage to his fine and gross motor and speech processing with autistic traits and tendencies. Doctors said he would never walk or talk...be a vegetable...He walks and talks somewhat...etc. I have a question concerning healing. Through out his life we have recieved healing in areas of his life, but not total restoration. All throughout the gospels it was always a requirement that someone believed. It is difficult to believe at times for me circumstancially in Josh's case ... with all the unknowns of his condition and the given that I do love him as he is and learn from him as well! I may never get to the point of believing beyond a shadow of a doubt...but isn't that the goal??? Love to All, RainbowsGirl

Thank You Sunesis, That is sound and wise advise and a very loofty goal for me. It appears to me that I have a lot of catching up to do to even come close to what you and so many other diligent Gr's know. I'll give it my best! Thanks for You example, RainbowsGirl :)

Dear Copenhagen, I have been as "Dumb as a Doorknot" for the last 10 years about TWI and not nearly as Brillant or talented as these ones that you speak of; and hey God directed me......God will make a way for them as soon as they are able. That at the very least is my hope and prayer for them and all of us. I really enjoyed what you shared and how it changed your mind because of your great heart! I Look at Your beautiful Heart now and I think ...God is the searcher of all hearts and how much more infinitely exquisite our hearts are to him we knows all and is all power and authority. He's able! Thank You RainbowsGirl

Hey Linda The 2nd reply for welcoming me should have gone for you, but I messed up! hey and before i mess up anymore I am out of here ! Bye Bless You!

Thank You for Welcoming Me too! I enjoy your heart and wisedom; it show how you think things through; I kind of wish I could edit what I wrote in my 1st post as I have read more and learned; ....and this being such a changing time for me. Only Yesterday, I thought that under VPW's reign of TWI that there was little to none of the corruptions found under LCM's reign and that under RR's reign I though everthing was being corrected. In January of 2007 DVD's are available from TWI as well as Tapes. I was watching it in the light of the lack of disclosures I have discovered recently. Things really seemed to stand out more truly as they really are. The excitement and heart in their eyes is now just a flick. I hate to put it this way but many of the teachings and styles of teaching have become weaker and weaker, repetious, lacking in heart and substance. It particularily stood out when the next teacher (visiting from a foreign Country Fr. Black Man).. in a series of two teachings taught with Great love confidence and heart . I was so blessed I hadn't realize what I had really really missed missed! Would You know if it is at all possible to find the older 1970's WP's music anywhere? Espesially: "Joyful Noice", "Pressdown", and The Childrens one: "The W.O.R.D". The Music has always been so healing for Joshua and Me! ???? (Anyone Please let me know!) Thanks have a Great Day! Everyone have a Super Great Day!

Thank You for welcoming me to "The Cafe" and I hope You don't mind that I added You to my friends list. I have added based on how thankful I am that You shared in the way that you did and I learned from you.I am not altogether sure how things work here. It probably already shows that everthing I know was "trial and lot's of error" I am a "Geek Wanna be"! Thanks again!

Linda Z , God Bless You and Thank You for Sharing Your Heart! I agree with You and sadly have been treated similarly! I am a 1973 PFAL grad & an Advanced Class of 1981 & I am very thankful for all the word I was taught and all the Love and signs wonders and miracles I saw & I believe God does require believing! We went to the ROA's from Milwaukee on 1 tank of gas in abeater car, a pitence of money, no tent & We all had The Best Times of our lives...Believers Blessed Us so royaly! I will never forget their love...We were fresh out of PFAL & no matter what wanted to be at the ROA. I Have a 30 year old son (also a PFal grad) he has a rare chromesome deletion. Limited fine gross motor & Speech processing (diagnosed at age 19). Further when he was born his tubes from the kidney to the bladder were not attached and he was not able to breathe on His own. When 4 months later he was able to Breathe on his own....they did his kidney surgery. One kidney was not repairable and removed . The Surgeon came out and told me that he could not repair the other one either. "What did I want Him to do???" (after all he, my son had multiple problems..............where was his value was the tone of his conversation with me.) Well I knew that at the very least all the Body of Believer in Milwaukee were SITing for Him & Me (and I was very new and unsure I could believe alone) Ahhhhhhhh but I was very certain beyond any doubt that they all were the Creme-de-la-creme of Believers. They walked in Great Love and Light in my eyes & heart. I told the Surgeon to go back and finish as I knew that what ever he did God would find him away; & of Course He did! Hurtful things have happened to Us throughout our time TWI. About 10 years ago we were asked to leave as I for one confronted a situation with a believe and was deemed wrong this is the primary reason we we asked to leave. Secondarily, My Walk was not considered valuable enough; as I was not always as active as prescribed; having been asked many times to consider putting Joshua in an institution or some other ??? similar place....so that I could build my walk with GOD; strong enough and solid enough to believe for Joshua's total Restoration. It was suggested that the Corp Training would help. Incidently I am sure they would have booted me out of the Corp too! Well I admitted my fears and also let them know that I could not leave my Son to anyone elses Believing. So We Left quietly and I was so very broken hearted. I longed to be with other believers...but I wasn't going to lay aside all I had ever wanted to know about GOD and abandon Him either...not only because I believe he has never abandoned Us but that He would make a way! We have been studying and still receiving tapes and magazines.... as I guess they never "Marked and avoided Us""???. This last month I have read so very many posts on this site and many others as well as "The Passing of a Patriach" Strange as it may seem, I knew about VPW's & LCM's events but very incompletely. I wasn't even aware that Mrs. Wierwille passed; The way that happened again breaks my heart (It's Great to know the healer of broken heart right now ...more than ever. Basically most everything else that has happened at TWI I was unaware of. I am so very sorry that so very many Believers were hurt and so profoundly and I do hope that they had been able to heal more & more & to perhaps case by case forgive somethings and perhaps remember the Gifts from GOD. I Guess I never can forget how great it is to know what All that God has forgiven me for and he remembers it no more. GOD has done so much for Us. I only Hope that I can do more & more for Him. Nobody sees a heart or loves like God. God will Weigh & Judge All Things. So if anyone feels I am wrong; or if I am ...I'm not too worried. I have more Good than I ever hoped for! Although it would surely bless me if some of You can see my heart! I adopted a daughter online She was in a chatroom threatening to kill herself. I taught her about God and His Love. She is here now with us and studying with us. Hey I have never thought anyone directed me but God...I might have got kicked around a little..but GOD will always help me land upright. Thanks again for Your Heart Linda...It refreshes Me! (RainbowsGirl)
