Belle, I absolutely loved your post - especially the TWIt part! That gave me a belly laugh - twas good! Thanks

I utilize everything God taught me all through the years no matter what organizations - non denominational or not - that I went to. I knew God before TWI, during TWI and after TWI. They didn't have the monopoly on my relationship with God at all. I'm thankful for many things I learned while in TWI. I think the thing a lot of people don't understand about the Way, or any other organization or a church of any denomination is that they are only as good as the leadership, they CAN serve a purpose in our life for a period of time and sometimes it's time to get out. It's called discernment. Any time a person gives up their right to have their own thoughts and the right to live their own life they give someone else power over their life. I can live without anything or anyone in my life but I cannot live without God.

I left because of their view on sexual freedom and the abuse of power by Way Corps

I'm also ordained in the Univeral Church. I wonder how many others went there. Too funny - not in a bad way (just to clarify that!!).
