  1. Linux doesn't force updates you are in total control as to when if you ever update. I recommend updating as the updates come in, it's the highest protection. No need for anti virus software.

    Hello again

    Been on it for over a year, I'm on the top dose, only real side effect is a loss of appetite in the evenings, food isn't as exciting as it used to be. It's a long term treatment.
  3. I've been using Linux for most of a decade as my daily driver, I keep a virtualized install of Windows 11 for when I need to print or scan from my laser printer that isn't supported. I recommend people who don't need windows only apps switch to Linux, because Microsoft spies on everything, plus it's faster than windows for most things. I use Manjaro Linux, but Ubuntu and Mint are great for beginners. The main thing about Linux is it's free, if you want great support you'll find Google helps in most cases. Most of the major distributions offer paid support if you need it. For folks that like games, Steam on Linux has thousands of games to choose from, many AAA titles. For Office apps there is Libre Office, a very capable office suite that has all the functions of Microsoft office. For adobe like apps there are many titles which may have a learning curve, but are free.

    Hello again

    It's been a year or more since last posting, I don't visit here very often. I hope everyone is well. I came looking around for news about TWI, I guess they are laying very low and not doing the crazy crap they used to when Weirwille and Martindale where running things. I'm pretty much over my whole cult experience. I'm still in the same apartment, with the same cat. Haven't drank alcohol in 5 years and that is going great. I'm on ozempic and jardiance which has helped me get down to a 5.5 A1C and lose 50 lbs. I hope everyone is doing well. Seth

    So, any way...

    Last time I posted was 5 years ago, a few things have changed. First I got sober (again) with the help of the Sinclair Method, I help people online do the same thing. I'm still an atheist, and thoroughly enjoying it, I mean I'm kind of a pantheist with Buddhist philosophy, but I'm godless and religion free. I've become a radical leftist, got started with that when Bernie ran in 2016. I finally found the right combination of medicine to stabilize the bipolar type 2 situation, I'm living on non-service connected VA disability and a HUD VASH voucher, so I have my own apartment with a cat. My Dad died in Dec 2021. I am working on a streaming show on Twitch called Harm Reduction Show, I'm on hiatus right now. I'm thoroughly enjoying the new Star Trek stuff coming out. Other than that not much is going on other than writing about my leftist ideas, and atheist leanings. I hope everyone is having fun enjoying life, see you in another 5 years. :D You can find me here https://www.facebook.com/seth.ian.rosen
  6. I read some of it, was more interested in who signed it, my goodness some heavy hitters in there, don't know all of them. Here's something funny: It's obvious RFR knew about LCM's activities, her confrontation was a smoke screen to cover her posterior. It's too painful to read the rest, I skimmed and didn't see the value in picking it apart. Many folks here know my position, I have done my comparative religion research and found that what people call the KJV of the bible is like all the other versions rehashed Egyptian mythology. Argue with me all you want I don't care, you can't prove the truthfulness of a textbook by what the book says about itself, you must have outside sources and there are none. There is damning evidence within the KJV text that prove it was a fabrication of the Roman aristocracy. Anyway Same old TWI if RFR was VPW they'd all still be kissing her foot, and no 7-page letter would have been written. Seth
  7. Ah, Rico, my old nemesis... He was WOW coordinator the year I was WOW, '92-'93, what he did after is hazy. I had several phone calls with him he spent most of the time berating me. He and Robin stated at our apartment when they visited us.
  8. I went down the rabbit hole, and what did I see? https://twitter.com/vermeil5001
  9. I'm sure Hitler's speeches would seem compelling to someone who didn't know who he was... The fact that you attribute those books to your vacation in the nut hut doesn't speak for itself? Do yourself a favor, don't spread that disease it comes with guilt later in life. Pitch them in the dust bin and don't look back.
  10. Like changing captains on the Titanic. Why is everyone debating this as if it's anything other than a total sham from beginning to end. The "snow on the gas pumps" story should have been my first and only indicator that TWI was a total fraud from the beginning. Obviously I didn't so I shouldn't be surprised the good folks here are still chewing the rancid cud of TWI. None of this matters so long as the group remains.
  11. Hello CollateralDamage, great intro, welcome. I don't visit here often, only like today when I couldn't sleep because I was having WOW year or Advanced class flashbacks. We probably bumped into each other throughout the years, I left about 20 years ago but I was active from '90 thru the end of '94, tried sheepishly to get back in up until '99 or 2000 whenever Loy's lawsuit became public. I was at the Advanced Class Special where LCM taped the DTA class, what a trip, I felt so special for about a minute. Anyway the point I wanted to make is this. It's a damn good thing TWI ditched PFAL, they had no idea what they had with that class, the indoctrination Vic does in it. All they needed to do is run PFAL classes and Vic's Intermediate and Vic's Advanced class and rake in the money. What he did in PFAL alone should be studied by mind control researchers because he uses multiple techniques for trance induction, and implanting phobias, trigger words. All TWI would need to do is stick to Vic's playbook say all the buzzwords in the TWI loaded language dictionary and people would still be coming in droves. But everyone has an ego, and the Fox has to rule the hen house. Anyway I bid you well, Seth
  12. Even though this poll is 8 years old I didn't see it until today. Not surprising really, since I didn't even log in for 2 years and only visit once every three months or so when I can sleep because I'm having TWI flashbacks. I wasn't officially kicked out, my branch coordinator just told me not to bother coming back. LOL talk about passive aggressive. So should I have another chocolate milk and try to get some sleep or make a cup of coffee? Seth
  13. So much for "The Word The Word and Nothing but The Word" right Twinky?
  14. Welcome BlueCord, Thanks for reaching out to this community. Good things have already been said and some good advice given. I feel your pain. I was involved for a number of years took all the classes went WOW got to meet and talk to the late Mrs. Wierwille several times, once during an Advanced Class special she saw me and a friend walking somewhere and she stopped and asked if we needed a ride to where ever we were headed. My point is there are many good loving people who are in a bad situation in TWI even the late Mrs. W. The closest thing I can equate TWI to is The Matrix. What if I told you it's all an illusion everything they teach is designed to make you a power source for them. Do you get it Copper-top? Back in 2006 I did the ultimate thing a one time Word Over the World Ambassador and Advanced class on Power For Abundant Living graduate could do. I became an atheist, best decision I've made in my adult life. Get familiar with the stages of grief, you'll be feeling that after you leave. There are any number of books I could recommend. I guess the first two would be "You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself" By David McRaney and "Emotional Vampires: Dealing with People Who Drain You Dry" by Albert Bernstein If you don't want to buy "You Are Not So Smart" David has a podcast on Sound Cloud where he covers Logical fallacies and self-delusion topics that are in his books. Anyway I hope you keep us posted on your progress, and happy landing. Seth P.S. here's a picture of me with the late Mrs. W.
  15. Hello folks, It's no secret here that I've struggled with alcohol use disorder. About 7 years ago I left AA after 8 years and a few months sober, it was for personal reasons I'm not going to get into here nor do I want to debate it. All I know is after 7 years I found myself drinking unhealthy levels again and having difficulty slowing down. I heard about The Sinclair Method a year or so ago, and after doing more research I found that the primary drug used in TSM, Naltrexone is available through the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care Service. I started TSM Jan 13th 2016 and after over 120 days I'm very happy with the results. So I wanted to share this video, it's on Amazon Prime, if you are a Prime Member you can watch it on extra charge. I describes The Sinclair Method, interviews Doctors in the field, actual people who are using TSM to moderate or stop drinking. So if you know anyone who could benefit from this information please share it. One Little Pill Seth
  16. There is a mental disorder called scrupulosity, it's in the category of OCD.
  17. Ha! LOL 11 days later my scathing comment is still up.
  18. I wonder how long my comment will stay up?
  19. Dana I'm sorry for your loss, but I am happy that you found the means to contact many of the people involved and get some closure and in some small way clear your fathers name. I also want to thank Charlene for speaking up about agnostics and atheists, I'm one of a few atheists here that has called people out. I've made it clear I hate all religions, I have also made it clear I think it's totally stupid to continue to believe in TWI's brand of dogma saying the problem was just bad leadership, it's like saying if I only move to a different cabin on the Titanic it will be better. Thanks for the interesting insider history DWBH and I forget the other name Skyrider I think. Seth
