Always have been, I expect, with their slave labor. Speaking of HR rules and proper tax accounting, has anyone ever wondered whether those cash "love offerings" that traveling kings... er, leaders... er, those who are supposed to be servants, get are ever included in annual W-2 or 1099 income reports? My hunch? Probably not.

Bottom of the page. OTC Reading glasses are inexpensive. All of us old farts have eye issues.

In case I wasn't clear, I meant to ask how many hours/week was the limit before they had to provide health care benefits.

I hope you figured out that the answer to your original question was at the page I supplied the link to for you.

Boy does that sound familiar. And a certain FORMER politician still tries to do it (torture everyone).

What's the threshold for having to provide health care benefits?

Nailed it. But Vern's bit at the start was not any more candid or authentic.

indeed.

Did you check The Way's website for that information?

I posted this video in a thread in the open forum last month. It is from a livestream webinar I sat through. The subject is malignant narcissism. "this core pathology of malignant narcissism will determine the course of their leadership style. Understandably, their leadership will be rendered dangerous by inflamed, infantile affects that will drive extremes of intellect and behavior. Under stress, the malignant leader will endure storms of emotion that will hijack their intelligence and determine policy decisions."

To illustrate the danger of building on shifting sand, I point to the very recent collapse of a condo tower in Miami Beach, FL. The death toll in the Florida condominium collapse rose to nine Sunday as authorities continued to search through the rubble for survivors. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said additional bodies were recovered after first responders dug a trench through the wreckage. Emergency workers have brought in major machinery being used to sift through the debris, which will be taken to a warehouse and analyzed for any forensic clues.

Plenty of documentation of first hand records to that effect are contained on this website.

Unfortunately, these incidents were the rule, not the exception.

A demonstration of wierwille's malignant narcissism. He thought and acted like he was the Big Cheese. Pffft!

Awfully outrageous, eh?

Here is one where wierwille was whining about corpse abandoning their "duty" to God (i.e. to The Way).

WOW!

BAM! Nailed it. Useful Delusions: The Power and Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain - Kindle edition by Vedantam, Shankar, Mesler, Bill. Health, Fitness & Dieting Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

LOL... I like books too, but when I read, it's my voice in my head. I like my voice. Let me know if you get the files.

You can "export a file as a PDF" with Open Office.

"I'll happily help someone with a hungry heart to learn, who wants to sort thru them all..." IOW, someone who is still gullible and hasn't worked it out to their own satisfaction already. "Years ago there was great value... for me to dredge through all those things... that audience is now spent." IOW, the window for me to mindf*** those people is long gone. Shmooze away, Mike.

I'm also confident that vpw's pronouncement on this subject was an intricate part of his rationalization for effing whomever he pleased (and could convince to let him) and if she got pregnant, then nobody's conscience had to be heavy laden with guilt. In keeping with the theme of this thread, it reeks of indoctrination that underpinned Wierwille's self-justifying rationalizations.

The people who have posted to GSC (and before that, Waydale) have been outspoken for a reason. Wouldn't it be intriguing to get sociologists/psychologists who study cults to do some legitimate academic research on former (and if possible, current) twi followers to survey various issues... including, but not limited to, the variety of spiritual/religious paths taken by those followers... and the frequency and intensity of psychological disorders, like depression, anxiety and PTSD. If only anyone had access to a mailing list... (I'd work on finding qualified academic researchers to do such a study). Data can be amazingly eye-opening.

I've been using OpenOffice for years. It works well with MS Office file types.
