  1. My friend passed his master's degree program in religion.

    When he sent for the transcripts from his corps days they sent back a paper saying "PFAL" grad. (ONLY) He knows the classes were not accredited, however they count as "life experience" which counts as credit.

    I called a lawyer to help him and have not heard yet, but all those classes he can get some credit for -- they will not acknowledge. Anyone else have this problem?

    I need these to get into the program I am trying to enter as well...

    I was told a few years ago that the corps could get their transcript from the education records department in dowtown Indianapolis, IN.

    I can't remember who shared this info. but I do remember that is how the person was able to attain it.

  2. the only reason i would think that her twig influenced her on the abortion is because she was never a person that would have an abortion. so that is why it would be odd and heartbreaking. but i will not accuse her twig doing that unless she mentions it.

    i guess i will just present her with the information i found and tell her that i am praying for her and that if it is the truth she is seeking God will reveal it to her. and i pray that he does open her eyes. I have come to realize too in the past couple of days that I really need to stop thinking that I can fix this problem. Since I found out I have just had this burden on my shoulders but I really shouldn't....God has to move in her heart for her to realize. I can't do it all myself. So i will just be there loving her and helping her anyway i can.

    Stephanie,

    You sound like a wonderful friend. :) The best thing you can do is to pray and be there to listen. I have prayed for God to give you wisdom to know how to help.

  3. I took the bus trip too. It was almost a year after Dr. W. died. I had just been sent to HQ for the last block in the corps. I was about to graduate. The woman giving the tour publically showed doubt and criticism toward some of Dr. W.s claims. Some of the people were very upset and some just plain outright didn't know what was going on. It was no small stir. I think this person left HQ shortly afterwards.

  4. Paw and Ralph,

    Thank you for the sharing that clarified some things for me. I was in-residence in the Corps during the time period of which you spoke. I still had some unanswered questions which you answered. I am thankful for the stand that you took and what a difference it made in many people's lives.

    Thank you so very much,

  5. Paw,

    Thank you so much for making this site available. I know that it has helped many, myself included, and I know that it must be alot of work for you.

    Happy Thanksgiving Paw!

  6. First, thank you for all the prayers and supplications you've made and continue to make on Felix's behalf. It is really encouraging and humbling. His wife, Jean is writing this. Felix was having a hard time getting started, so I said I would do it. It is probably a little easier for me since it's not about me. I hope this doesn't seem terse and I will, no doubt, not explain everything completely. I don't want this email to be so long you open it and your eyes roll back into your heads and it is too daunting a length to bother with. If you want to ask him any questions, he's completely open to talking to anyone about this, so please do.

    Here's the run down in a nutshell.

    Diagnosis: About 4-5 months ago, he noticed a swelling in his throat. He went to the doctor in Sept. and was told he needed surgery to remove his tonsils since one of them had a tumor. The biopsy was Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Prognosis: Terminal When I emailed the doctor at Stanford Cancer Center to ask what the progression is of this disease and the outcome, the response was it is an aggressive form of cancer and about 3 months. He was told he was Stage 3 (meaning tumors, although small, were located above and below the diaphram) and Grade A (no secondary symptoms). We've both had a good cry to two over this. The treatment options they offered: HyperCVAD (a really toxic combination of chemo drugs) or a Clinical Trial with HyperCVAD and another chemo drug combined (just as lethal). Prognosis: 3 years and then the cancer would come back and we'd be back to square one. According the AMA, this type of cancer is resistant to chemo so they offer no hope of cure. The Clinical Trial would last about 2 1/2 years (6 months of pure hell with the hyperCVAD, a 4 day stay in the hospital w/the chemo drip 24/7, 2 1/2 weeks off and then another round and this would continue for 6 rounds, followed by another chemo drug every 6 months for two years. Prognosis: About the same as the other option, maybe more, who knows, this is a clinical trial to determine whether this treatment is more effective. Of course, you have to survive the chemo regime and there is a laundry list of side effects that can cripple or kill you and any chance at quality of life you ever contemplated. Not the most tempting offer ever made, but if this is what Felix needed to do, he would. He doesn't believe it is. By the way, Felix has never had any symptoms of ill health and still doesn't.

    Option Two

    God sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction. Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers, and other verses. God is the I AM. I AM what you need. I am the God that delivers. I am the God that heals you. I am the God who provides. I am the God who supplies all your need according to MY riches and glory through Christ Jesus.

    Through a series of events (orchestrated by God), Felix was ministered to and believes he's healed. The question was, "What to do now?" in order to "go his way rejoicing". Kathy Stiles had contacted him with some information about a ND, Dr. Tunsky, she'd seen. It sounded like a good way to go, but Felix had to talk to him to see if it was or not. They did talk and he is taking this path. Dr. Tunsky started as a molecular biologist (websites: drcelltox.com and wholebodyhealingcenter.com) and then became a naturopathic doctor. The AMA and ND doctors do agree that cancer is anaerobic, likes an acidic environment, loves sugar, and can't throw off heat. Dr. Tunsky told Felix he recommended a 21 day detox program, then Felix will do some tests and based upon them, Dr. Tunsky will develop a treatment plan. The plan would be based on making his body as inhospitable to cancer as possible and thereby starve it out. So, eliminate all sugars, raise the body temperature to about 101 degrees to heat the cells up and trigger the immune response, exercise to oxygenate the body and change the diet to alter the body's ph to a more alkaline level. We've started some changes in diet recently by moving to an alkaline diet. It is sort of a combination of macrobiotic and vegan. Breakfast is a challenge. All the traditional foods are out. I like to cook, but this is even a challenge for me.

    Please email Felix if you have questions or come across something you think might be of interest to help. And, thank you all for your continued prayers and intercessions.

    Felix and Jean

    I am praying for you both and it sounds like your chosen path for treatment is a good one. You may probably have already heard of "Cell food." It is some drops that you put in your water that makes your body more alkaline. It is sold at health food stores and on the net. I don't know if your doctor has suggested apricot seeds. The seeds are very helpful. They are sold on the net. You might want to check out the book, "A world without cancer." I know that your heads must be spinning with learning all this information. Please know that you are prayed for and loved.

    God is good and faithful. Love in Christ

  7. Dearest Pat (if this gets passed on to you somehow)-

    My deepest condolences to you at this time. May god hold you in the hollow of his bosom. Your son Jeff and your beloved husband Jerry were both fine men, and I know their success was due in part to your love and nurturing. My heart goes out to you and my prayers go forth that you may be lifted and held through this time.

    heart,

    Howard (Howie) Pa-th-m. (from Peoria)

    Howard

    I sent you a private message with the address.

  8. Happy, Happy, Birthday from all of us to you;

    Happy, Happy Birthday, may all your prayers come true.

    May you have happy birthdays, all your whole life through!

    Happy, happy birthday--it's God in Christ in you!

    Happy Birthday John
