"Just for the sake of accuracy, Vince Finnegan doesn't consider himself to be in any way carrying on VPW's legacy. He has a very different theology these days, as can be seen on his website (kingdomready.org). He has distanced himself from his past with TWI, which makes John Juedes think he's hiding something, yet if he were to speak of any connection with The Way he'd be accused of trying to keep the old stuff alive, and/or cash in on his past. Sometimes you just can't win." hello fellow greasespotters! "just for the sake of accuracy", what vince finnegan considers himself to be or not to be does not change the fact that he was one of the worst of the twi hypocrites who ever ascended to the ranks of power that vic dangled in front of him to entice him into the corrupt, perverted, "inner sanctum" of twi "leadership", imho. he was a mean-spirited, vindictive, total vic loyalist who parlayed his phoney "everyman" public persona into his own little feifdom of spiritual and sexual abuse to the delight of his "father-in-the-word"........he was a plagiarist cut in the ignorant, pseudo-intellectual "biblical research" cloth of his "teacher", and he remains an "intellectual" hoax to this day..... i've read his apolageia covering his twi roots on his self-serving, money grubbing website.............in which he declares total "thankfulness" for what he learned from der victoid in his years at twi, while feebly attempting to "distance himself" from vic's dysfunctional personal and biblical perversions, at the same time totally whitewashing his own personal participation in the sexual, and spiritual abuse that he "made his own" while climbing the twi corporate ladder..........he owes his "ministry" to vic and twi........since, when he finally had the guts to publicly break with twi and go with geer in 1989, using the doofus from okie's loyalty oath demand as an excuse to take for himself the remnants of the way of new york limb structure and financial base............he briefly credits god with the financial "miracle" that bought him his house and built him his church building and paved his personal financial highway with ex-wayfer money, support, and "volunteerism" that kept him working "full-time" as "god's minister"!..........but, all he really did was appropriate to himself the "ministry" vic bequeathed him in new york........making the financial and social support structures of twi in ny his own under the guise of "taking a stand" for god against martindale and the rapidly imploding way tree left in the united states!........and, never admitting to nor apologizing for the abuses and "crimes against humanity" he gleefully perpetrated while serving as "assistant to the president" and "worldwide outreach coordinator" for vic's perverted "word over the world machine". his "original theology" of today remains at least 70% wierwilleism, with his own "degree mill" attachments providing enough of a cover for him to proclaim just enouigh "distance" from vic and twi to keep the money rolling in........his own "bible classes" are formatted just like the ones he took in twi, and the content is, as i said before, predominantly the same..........which is his absolute right as a citizen of our wonderful country.......but, makes him no less of a "whited sepulchre" than ces/stfi, cff, the geerites, and any/every other offshoot of vic's "ministry" available to the sadly gullible public around the country and world today!........the structure of his "church" is a thinly disguised remake of the way tree......he's got his headquarters, his bookstore, his classes, and his in-home fellowships just like he had in twi.........and, they're all quite lucrative enough so vinny doesn't ever have to get a "real job" ever again............which is quite fortunate for him and his family, since vinny isn't qualified for any job beyond pseudo-minister for god that could financially support the lifestyle he and mimi grew accustomed to in twi! no skin off my nose........it's a free country........ in our country, people are free to choose what they want to believe and what ideologies they determine to be "truth"..........but, to give credit to vinny as somehow being a bona fide "christian minister" who has boldly gone beyond the obvious hypocrisies and perversions of der victoid and twi, and honestly and righteously "built his own church" by courageously "distancing himself" from his undeniable "spiritual heritage", and getting away with all the crap he pulled as one of vic's best "assistants" is a bit much..................and, imo, a far cry and long distance short of "for the sake of accuracy"! as i've stated before here at the spot, none of the various twi offshoots will ever really be able to truly escape vic's "spiritual DNA" as long as they continue to propagate their versions of vic's "word of god" and their hybrids of vic's "way tree"'...........they all still meet einstein's definition of insanity, until they genuinely and actually have a change of consciousness when it comes to their twi-based "understanding" and belief of what "god's word" is, who jesus christ was and is, what the real "church" is, and what genuine "christian ministering" is!..........and, they must repent publicly for the egregious wrongs committed by them while in twi as their christ and their bibles command if they truly wish to "distance themselves" from what they so desperately cling to, despite their many words to the contrary..........imho, they owe this to god and the church of the body of christ, "for the sake of accuracy"!.....................................................peace.

c'mon people now!.......at the risk of seeming platitudinal, or sickeningly sixities-ish........i offer this selection to a great thread...my personal favorite at the greasespot cafe............not a "can-you-top-this" thread, but a "why-not-contribute" thread........dedicated to the true great communicator of the human spirit, and true uniter of the human soul.........MUSIC!!.............................PEACE! #
