Hi,RG!

Welcome to the Cafe.

----------------- --------------

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!

Hi,RG!

Welcome to the Cafe.

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)

I've shared more than once on GS when this question came up, about the time VPW ministered to me after I'd totaled my car on the way to ROA '72 and I got healed, and about the time he ministered to my son, who was instantaneously healed of a chronic illness he'd been plagued with since infancy, which by the way never returned after that day.

My firsthand accounts were brushed aside because they didn't corroborate the "twi and VP were all evil all the time" mindset that predominates here.

Of course when I told about those incidents, I included the usual disclaimers about "this doesn't excuse the wrong VP did" and blah blah blah. Nevertheless, some here still peg me as a "VPW apologist," which I'm not. Whatever.

Contrary to what was taught in twi and what many here apparently believe, life isn't all black and white.
