OMG I can hear him now.  Actually a very normal person.  I can hear him say now that devil spirits are going in and out of her. What do you think? 

Uhmmmmm, When I was first witnessed to. So many things all along that strange journey. Common sense told me to stay away. Common sense all the way from pfal and into the corps screamed "get out". I just did not listen to that "quiet voice" that one day screamed at me to "get out".

The worst thing I ever heard was from a guy that was my elder corps in res.. He said "We should kiss Martindale's feet if he sat in front of us" I asked him if he was serious in which he replied " Yes".:excl:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Good deal Ham, Get that right mix with the beer and wine and all is good heh? On a serious note keep it up.

Good post, Um...I'm one of those posters - from the 2nd Corps. Don't kid yourself. Those were dark days, too, albeit w/out LCM screaming. VPW's methods of indoctrination clothed in the "father in the Word" persona were perhaps subtle at times compared with LCM but just as or more insidious...and predatory.

Yep VP may have been a little more subtle but at look at what his methods created................LCM

Yes I would say it is a April Fools Joke. I doubt lcm would have put "Ex president of The Way International, from New Knoxville Ohio"

I was 15th corps. JAL Michael Fart, Dave B*dard ruled Emporia with an iron fist. Very little love of God in that place at all as far as the leadership They seemed to get pleasure from ripping someone apart. I never understood that. Why now John, that you want to show "love"? Ohh I know why. The almighty dollar. I wonder what happens when you "sell out" now. It must be like twi and piffel. All nice and all then they swing the all mighty hammer. Corps lunches reminded me of Krustov talking to us then taking off his shoe and banging it on the lunch table saying "We will bury you" . Anyone considering JAL's new thing. DON'T

A donate button? Never saw it. Must have been my 15th way corps training of paying attention to detail:redface2:.

Thanks Paw for EVERYTHING. I remember when WayDale closed and wondered if GSC would work with a completely different format. I can only imagine the work you have put into this place. I hope your life is a little more easy. I am looking forward to Xway Vision to continue to help people and keep them from joining, leaving, healing and of course the demise of that cornfield cult.

Wow you did have a time.:). That does not sound to bad at all and it sounds like you enjoyed it.. See that is how much we new what the College Div was doing? Maybe the College was THE place to get ingrained on twi stuff if you wanted to know more besides the pfal - advanced class. To bad you had to go corps and get waxed. Corps really was a screwed up thing and not for the faint of heart. Maybe it was for the faint of heart since you got kicked out earlier.

Dog Lover… I was in Emporia with the 13th & 15th (I was college program)… we only had to do Bless Patrol when you guys were gone for Lightbearers and such, but I remember the cold winters much the same as Just Loafing did:

We probably know each other, I was 15th. Thanks for taking up the slack when we were gone. :) I always wondered how the college division felt. I mean we were the big people ( or so we thought) on campus and the College Division were always sort of shuffled to the back back a little. Yeah we always knew about you and I knew some of the College Divisi9on and wonderful people you were. Sort of strange how we (College and Corps) were kept apart though and we were right there together.

I loved Emporia's bless patrol.

Out there all night with 0 degree temps then coming in for breakfast and having frozen fruit with whipped cream on top. What a blessing.

Being out for a long time and finally figuring out. The simple answer was just say "NO". I bet that is how the court saw it having never have had their mind warped. God was everything (I hope still is) to us. Being a good wayfer we listened to men/women to run our lives and they told us this is what God was wanting while warping the scriptures.

Never anything a judge will ever see and probably nothing a jury would ever understand. never being under a control like twi. like we were. I get it and when I heard about the law suite and talked to parties about had the thought the Peelers would never win. On the other hand I understand what they went through as far as being pressured to give till there is almost nothing left. How about this and it goes for Grease Spotters......even we understand things the rest of the world never will. Ech that sounded to much like twi spew for me.

If one has doubt about the vpw I remind you to go and listen to the Grease Spot Radio section and listen to Kristen Skedgell's story. I bought her book and TWI was corrupt from the start. No doubt about it!!!!!

Hi Roy, I am not here very often any more. When I saw this I had to tell you how sorry I am. You sound like your getting stronger and getting better. I pray for you my friend.

I just checked the shipping status on Amazon and it said the shipping estimate is today, so no, haven't received it yet (but looking forward to reading it).

I got mine on Saturday. I'm about 2/3 of the way through it. A great read and shows what happens fom not only her perpective but if no one knows about twi they will get a good picture of what it is like. I'm not going into details or my feelings on the book so you can all read it without knowing anything else than what the radio interviews detailed. It is a good read and sure brigns back memories.

Edited........NowISee did the math before me.

I did not expierence what many of you did exie. But that bathroom thing had to be nasty and your mind or common scense had to tell you that was wrong.

Point is I thought many things were wrong but I took that koolaid too and told myself I would understand later (as I spirtually grew, what a crock of dung). I think that is what a lot of people do not understand about bieng abused. They say we had freedom of will but they took it away from us saying we would see how right they were in the future. Thank god my future only lasted 6 years plus..

"Remember how I told you that Alec hit me?"

"I remember. Has that gotten any better?"

"No, it's gotten worse. Now we fight all the time."

"Oh no, honey."

"I'm so screwed up. I've made a mess of everything. I've really blown it. I think I'm better off dead. I keep thinking about it. I shouldn't be alive anymore. I've made too many mistakes. It's gotten so bad between us now."

"Now wait a minute, wait a minute. You can't be talking like that. That's a devil spirit in you, honey. You've got to stop."

"But that's how I feel. I want to die."

"If you keep talking that way, we won't have anymore times like we used to. You hear me? Now you've got to stop talking like this. Understand? It's just devilish. Take your clothes off. I'll show you what's good about being alive."

No kidding.................that killed me. Sorry ba$tard

I have not been here in a long time but...........I am not unhappy but if the opportunity presented itself I would ripp the heads off of those who wronged my brothers and sisters and pi$$ down their necks and dig the burried ones up and kill them again. There is no excucse for what they did.

OK, call me a rebel. But why would we need anybody to "run" anything?

The question itself bugs me, because it implies that one person is needed to "run" things. Talk to me about anybody "running" anything, and I'm "running" the other way.

harumph!

Hence your name

Heck yeah we get to keep our pets. Tennis ball launchers for everyone.

I'll do it. My first act would be to close the whole damn thing down and give the farm back to the family. Then comes the millions of dollars they have put away. For example.

Paw, you would have the biggest and best web site design that money could buy.

Raf, would have his own weather station.

Roy, would have the biggest baddest church around to preach from

Exie, would have the biggest and best house around and make that little boy that came over and said your house was not nice be ashamed of what his house was like. Maybe that would teach him to accept people for who they are.

Belle, you would get a hurricane proof house.

Radar, You get the biggest sancuary that would house 100's of elderly animals. It would be like the Emerald City.

To all that I did not mention. You will not just have your needs met but your wants too. After all God's people deserve the best and the Lord knows you deserve it after being in the hands of twi
