GSC is short for GreaseSpot Cafe, where you're reading this right now.   It's a messageboard that tells the other sides of the story of the way international (twi)  and its spinoffs/"splinters".  People come here to learn about those, to socialize with other twi survivors, and so on.

 

Its name comes from lcm's (loy craig martindale)  insistence that anyone leaving twi would be overwhelmed by devils upon their exit, becoming a "GREASESPOT BY MIDNIGHT." Well, the survivors came here.  Midnight has come and gone.  We've gone on with our lives, and lcm was removed from twi.   So, the name is "tongue-in-cheek." 

Thank you for responding. Most of the stuff on here is 15+ years old and it seems that very few folks are actively participating anymore

I took "the class" in the summer of 1972 and instantly became as thoroughly involved as possible.. I had my first real epiphany about the dark side after graduating from Fellow Laborers. My exit is a little bit difficult to pin down. I was pretty much on cruise control for my last 10 years or so. GSC iced the cake for me.

What is GSC?

I got involved in Sept. 2009. In the following 2 1/2 years i went to all the classes, including advanced class and met and married my husband (he was in for 40 years),   I saw so much unbiblical and unloving (downright nasty and hateful) behavior that I would have left by a year later. Eventually my husband saw these behaviors directed at me and we finally left together in 2017. 

Im an old hippie rebel, non-conformist and never really fit the mold. 

Hi...I was only involved with TWI for 8 years but during that time I was mistreated by so-called ‘leadership’ numerous times. After just a year in the ministry I met my current husband who was involved for 40 years, and if it had not been for him I would have left much sooner. It’s an organization run by pompous, arrogant, narcissistic, power freaks who, in their eyes, can do no wrong. 2 Peter 2 describes them well. 

I was only involved in TWI from 2009-2017 and have heard vague rumors that VPW did not believe the Holocaust happened. Does anyone know if that is true? Was he also anti-Semitic? I was Jewish before believing in Jesus so I find it very offensive and if it’s true and I had known, I never would have gotten involved with TWI in the first place and could have avoided all the grief from them from those 8 years of my life.
