    A Few Big Things I Learned Taking PFAL

    in About The Way

    Posted

    Just wondering...When I first took the class...to learn that I could get born again and have eternal life I was amazed!

    To learn that Jesus Christ is not God...That made the perfect sense. To learn that when I die, I don't go to Heaven right away also made the perfect sense. These are really big things I never knew before the class and teach my children these truths.

    I've heard there was alot of errors in PFAL, but these few things...do you still believe them to be true? Just wondering...

    I don't believe any of it anymore. Every day I'm reminded of something from it and have to grab hold of reality.

    It's really annoying.

    Maybe the only valuable thing I still hold onto that Vic taught was "either you believe it all or chuck the whole thing" good advise I chucked the whole thing.

    Any California Leadership from the late '80's

    in About The Way

    Posted

    If anyone here was in leadership from California in the late '80's specifically '87 to '89 please comment on the secret leadership meetings held in Eureka California at the Eureka branch coordinators house His name was Tom. There were 5 or six men involved all were Corps and at least Branch or Area coordinators. At one time I think the Limb leader of the time came up to visit.

    It came to light to me many years later as to what these men were talking about, someone involved at the limb level at the time told me these men were meeting to decide "what to do about LCM" looking back it did feel sinister.

    I lived in this Branch home for a brief period, and saw many strange things. After all these years I would like to hear what was really going on. Did they discuss offing the LCM?

    I think when I first read John's articles it felt a lot like when I had a 105 degree fever as a kid and my mom had to put me in a tub of ice water. I had a very bad reaction to the cold water but I needed it to prevent brain damage, maybe this is what some people feel when they read Dr. Juedes.

    10. You think, divine perfection.

    9. You use over 50 figures of speech everyday and have a goal to use over 100 by next ministry year.

    8. You get audio tapes or videos every week from some farm house in Ohio that claims to teach the present truth of the prevailing word, and you actually pay good money for them.

    7. Your greatest claim to fame is 1) I have a WOW vet name tag. 2) I have a Way Corps name tag 3) I have a Way Staff name tag.

    6. You wish you could read Aramaic, so you are teaching yourself.

    5. You wish you could read Greek, so you are teaching yourself.

    4. You wish you could read Hebrew, flesruoy gnihcaet era uoy os.

    3. You named your dog Tick.

    2. You own about $500 in biblical research books, and enjoy using them to "dig the word".

    1. You tithe faithfully, but feel guilty you don't give 15 or 20% like those evil Mormons.

    I'm sorry I didn't realize there was a prayer thread going for me here, yikes I need to update everyone.

    Wow I feel bad, the problem kinda got resolved March 19th and I've been dealing with the sour personality of one house member.

    I'm working full time since March 20th so good job everyone!

    Thanks,

    Seth

    P.S. I would have done a little update sooner, but I didn't know about this thread and I've been busy.

    April 4, 2007 | Issue 43•14

    In The Ten Commandments, I Performed All My Own Miracles

    By Charlton Heston

    April 4, 2007 | Issue 43•14

    Whenever people talk about The Ten Commandments, a film I made 50 years ago with a fellow named Cecil B. DeMille, they go on and on about the impressive "special effects." So let me take this opportunity to set the record straight: I performed all my own miracles in that picture, so if you're going to praise someone, it should be me.

    I love the whole remodel job, and the added articles on the front page are awesome, I love being able to just click play on the current GS Radio clip and listen to it. All around easier on the eyes, quicker to see what's new, and it looks like I can get anywhere on the site from the front page. Great job!

    Loved the interview with John Juedes.

    One question though, where are the men's rooms?

    Oh, and this isn't a non-smoking joint is it?

    She feels when we both go back home for the holidays (to seperate places) that between that and getting to go to fellowship after the Holidays might make her return to her old self again, yet she hasn't been to a fellowship in like a year I believe. The other thing I am trying to figure out is, she always says, "I hope this is a good Fellowship...." She even admits how she has been to others that the people are just......then she just kind of leaves it at that, I think it is her sweeping her thoughts against the way back under the rug in her mind.

    After reading this I just realized something. She's on the outs and trying to get back in, you are the bait, she's probably going to try and use you to get back in. By bringing fruit to the fellowship, I hate to say it but you are a peace offering to TWI. If TWI was so great all there fellowships would be good.

    Hello,

    My name is Ryan and I have currently been in a relationship with a girl for about 6 months now. After we became "a couple" she informed me of her being a member of the Way.

    Hi Ryan, welcome. You are in the right place. Unfortunately your girlfriend might choose TWI over you, better be prepared for that. You might have to make the first move, please for your own mental health don't allow her to drag you into the insanity of TWI.

    This is a group that operates well under the radar, and has no independent oversight committee, and no elected governing body. They operate without any ruling authority, they would say there ruling authority is God and the King James Bible. Most mainstream denominations have ruling counsels and any minister I've meet who is worth his salt always checks with humans before they claim God told him to say such and such. Even if TWI didn't have all the scandals just the way they run things is suspect, who get's the money, where are the charitable works? Why are all their materials kept guarded by Copyright and lock and key? Why does man have the ego to copyright what they consider the will of God?

    At best TWI is a ship of fools sailing nowhere, at worse a pirate slave ship pillaging and plundering the hearts and minds of the unsuspecting.

    Seth

    Howdy Folks,

    I learned alot from this thread.

    I'd say I was a bit narrowminded when I first posted it.

    I came to the realization that I was not nearly as devastated from TWI as a lot of folks where and are. When I got back from Korea, the breakup had already occurred.

    I was only involved with the actual TWI for less then a year. I went to one ROA and then got sent to Korea. After Korea I hooked up with the folks who chose not to choose a loyalty of men...........So heck what do I know? Not much.

    Thanks for the replies and the personal messages.

    :asdf::yawn1::rolleyes::dance::love3::doh:

    Patrick, were you in South Korea around '89? I was supposed to write you and get a twig going. I was stationed at Suwon AB. '89 to '90
