Shift, you believed God, not the S--t you were taught in the PFAL class.

Taxi, I heard him teach live several times. Trust me, you didn't miss anything.

Thomas, LMAO!!

T-Bone, I thought the whole production was dark. But perhaps that was why I slept through most of it; it was dark, and drealy.

Dog, I couldn't believe what garbage AOTS was; I throught it was a huge waste of time, and money. But LCM was very proud of it; I guess he couldn't see how horrible it really was.

Sky, if I could get back all the money, I spent in TWI, I would have a great retirement fund for my old age. But, I got old too soon, and smart too late.

Up, I think it has a relationship to what comes out of a cow; and I don't mean milk.

T-Bone, LMAO!!

Chock, thank God I am not a Mormon; I wouldn't want to be in a cult for the rest of my life.

Chock, if you move your Bible, from one room to another room, is that moving The Word??

Rocky, good point! Most of the ministers I have known personally, are/were meek before God. However, VPW was an exception; he throught he was above us mere mortals. I believe some day God will reward us for our actions in this world, good or bad.

Rocky, I think you are right. I think Craig may have been upset, that he was losing his wife-to another woman.

Sky, you are right; splinter groups often do start out, loving and kind. However, after my involvement with TWI, I want nothing to do with any of any of these groups; 10 years of cult life was enough to last me the rest of my life.

Sky, you are so right; expectations for the PFAL class did run high; perhaps that is why the class was such a huge disappointment to me. I expected to be able to read, and understand the Bible on my own, and it never happened. One day I realized that the Bible was a very complex book, and I would probably never understand it. That's the day, I finally understood that much of what we were taught in the class, was Dung.

Rocky, good point. However, VPW grew up in a very rural area of the country; having grown up in one myself, I wonder if there is any way to prove, or disprove allegations about what happened to VPW as a child. Many things happened in families that outsiders never knew about. What happened in the home, stayed in the home. I don't think we will ever really know what forces drove VPW to be the man he became. I for one, believe that VPW came from dysfunctional family; to me, it "fits like a hand in a glove." However, I do think that your point is good; it would be wonderful if we had concrete information about VPW's family.
