RB--too funny!!!!!!!!! Kay Kay1952

I have children aged 28,25, step-kids 14 and 13. NOW-- My step kids were made so afraid of ET by their natural mother, that we had to talk them through the movie. I took it upon myself to educate them upon how the movie was made. Came to the idea that even a gallon of milk can be threatening to SOMEONE SOMEWHERE! So--my kids are/was/were educated to the facts that ignorance isn't bliss, that an educated kid is a forearmed kid. I NEVER understood the whole idea that the entire world was bent on messing up a 'believers' walk. ??????????????????? Kay1952

Your time with twi seems to be kinda like mine. Forgiveness is a treat, when you can forgive with an open heart. It gets easier as time passes--really it does! Kay Kay1952

I used to be the second name--when I took pfal and went WOW. Anybody out there remember me? Kay Kay1952

I guess I'm ready for this...here goes! I was raised quite conservatively, which is probably why twi intrigued me so. I didn't hear condemnation, or even reproof from anyone anywhere (Remember, this is 1975 we're talking about) Our Branch leader was kind and a jewel, our twig was filled with love and compassion, and we learned that our needs would be met. I was on the crew for my second pfal class, and had such a great time while doing that I decided to go WOW. WAS THAT A WRONG MOVE! Wow training was before the Rock and I had nooooo money and less posessions. My son was a year old and got sick at Wow training. Had to ask for a pin with his name on it, '75 was the first year they let people with kids go Wow. Left the field after 4 months as our branch leader was always on me to send my son home to Milwaukee, and I later found out that she was even 'younger in the Word' than I was! Hated South Carolina, and in December the branch leader was the only member of our "Wow family' that was left. Came home, got hooked up with a fellow I met at fellowship, got told by my twig leader that living with him was out of the question, that to live together was 'off the Word'! (In light of the sexual mis-conduct of everyone, I don't understand the meaning of this except to say that the world isn't the only place where there is a double standard). We got married after 5 weeks of courtship and I had son #2. Was away from twi for the longest time because I just didn't have time while going to school and taking care of my kids. Met and introduced husband #2 to the word. He took the class, and we moved to a small town in Northern Wisconsin where we had bought a shoe repair shop. Let it suffice to say that the 5 years we were there were as bad as the Wow 4 months were. Was in an abusive relationship with #2 and when I went for help from my branch leader he said that as a 'Woman of God' it was my job to do what my husband told me. By that time I was so beaten down, (literally and figureatively) that I just hunkered down and lived with it. Living in Fear is not pleasant. Moved when we sold the store, back to southeastern WI, got rid of husband #2 and tried to get my life together. Found a wonderful man, married 10 years now, and I am still learning to trust God and see what happens! Kay Kay1952

Hellooooooooo Haven't gotten any email from ya, just the usual stuff that shows up in my email. Where r u? Kay Kay1952

Hey? Where were you in Wisconsin? I have been looking for people who might have been here between 1975 to about 1982. I have posted my story, (abbreviated) on another forum, (the general one, I think) because I didn't look down the list of places to post! I saw major irregularities in leadership in Northern Wisconsin in 1983-84 and simply left after a letter from Dr. W when he just blew me off. Got a phone call from leadership when he died and I knew TWI was going down the pipes then. Used to see lots of Way bumper stickers here in WI but haven't seen any lately. I found the Cortwritght web page and looked for some people from WI but I don't know any of the names listed there. It is no surprise that things have gone down, when I learned that Martindale had been fired and that there were lawsuits aplenty. I am having a crisis of faith, as I am no longer sure what is true and what isn't. Kay Kay1952

Yoo Hoo! Anyone from or lived in south eastern Wisconsin? Kay1952
