Their loss, your gain.

You'll see.

Oldies, get real. Had VPW given credit where credit was due from the very beginning, TWI could have possibly been successful instead of the permanent mess it is in now.

We all thought he received revelation and researched these concepts on his own. We were led to believe that God showed him these things right from the bible as part of his snowbound promise. We all believed that he thought up and wrote RTHST and other plagiarized works. It was deceptive at best. At worst it was a con-game which was later broken by the power of the Information age.

Thank you, Skyrider, for helping us understand "The Great Carjacking Mystery Revealed".

Those staff "teachers" need to get informed themselves.

Why waste their time producing, recording and mailing info that is readily available and more aptly taught by saying.

Go to www.whatever.com to learn all you need to know about ?? these subjects.

In my decades of involvement in TWI I saw that they were awful at dispensing secular information. For example, I remember being encouraged to buy gold as an investment and to shy away from stocks. This was in the late 70's and early 80's for Gods' sake, right before one of the greatest bull markets in history that lasted many years. Just the opposite should have been taught.

In more recent years we were given great pearls of wisdom to get out of all debt and even sell your real estate to become debt free if necessary. This was just before the huge rise in real estate prices. Believers lost millions listening to that advice. Some have never recovered financally.

I think I'll get my house cleaning, car buying, business etiquette and history lessons elsewhere, thank you very much.

No not a quick get away. I was in no hurry whatsoever. In fact I was quite relaxed. My friend was somewhat anxious, however, if I recall. You might be quite surprised who he was. We had a great afternoon.

Last time I was there was 2002

Check out the tee shirt

And yes, we did visit places on grounds.

They seem VERY out of touch on most of these subjects.

Do they even have a clue what Google is and its awesome power?

The "University of Google" will most certainly leave their articles in the dust.

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about any aspect of an automobile. Articles from all over the world from experts as well as everyday folk. Thousands of articles to choose from. Same with housecleaning. Ha!

They can NOT compete with Google.

Do they even reference any "Internet Links" as most writers do today? Highly doubtful!

It is getting a little embarrasing.

Tom, be thankful.

My Way Corps (scum) grad wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to take the garbage out. I told her I already did. She told me to go an keep an eye on it.

Badumpa!

I went to look for a used car. I found her dress in the back seat.

She made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.

We were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

Last night she met me at the front door wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

Badumpa, badumpa!

Yawn!!

Those kids are missing out on so much offered by other more lively and exciting Christian groups. Their network of friends and life experiences as well as opportunities would be greatly expanded OUTSIDE the confines of limiting themselves ONLY to TWI.

That's what I now look back on and find strange in TWI. No explanation. As if we had no right to know and we dared not ask. Did they think we were stupid? I guess we were for a while. All they had to do was be honest and perhaps APOLOGIZE. Ha! Never saw happen that in my decades of involvement.

Reminds me of that book by Al Franken of the title: "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them."

Thank God the Internet came along allowing freedom of expression. Had these technologies been around then I am sure things would have been different. In fact I feel that VPW would have feared its power over his own.

Hey Tuttle,

My marriage is on the rocks again. Yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.

During sex my wife always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel.

I'm a bad lover. I once caught a peeping Tom booing me.

SCUM indeed!

You wanna know what killed that little boy??!!!

I'll tell you what killed that little boy!!!!

SCUM.

I think ur right about Barbie. Kinda hard to tell.

Leave us alone...we like it here

being scumble and meek,

admitting our past scumness.

His bitch in other words.

Kinda like when we were Steve Armxxstroxx's bitches on those workdays when we were WOW's.

We hear that phrase a lot here in the deep South. Depends on the trades you work in I guess. It may or may not be derogatory. I find it very appropriate at times.

(Correction: I, too, made $75 a month back then, not $30 as I previously posted. Just about enough for cigarettes, a little beer, a little fun and a few necessities, bitches that we were.)

And way back there....isn't that Debra Sleeper, now Debra Olthouse? She was in our 7th gang.

Gawd! She's still in and still there!

I'm gonna puke my Guiness I just drank!

POPE, fetch me another one.

Bo's house? You mean the one he and his dad paid for with their own money and for which he never received a penny in reimbursement or resale or rent? Not sure. I can ask him next time I see him. He might know, but maybe not. They still hear from innies on staff, ha.

I thought I remember hearing Nik Maxsxon and his wife lived there? Not sure. Does Nik still play the great organ?

".........and then tried to teach them the manifestation of tongues and gifts of feelings,....."

"Buddy Curries bitch...."

I was several people's bitch on my interin year in WB, couple years before you I think. It was fun, though, because it was so pathetic. Cheap beer was my friend that year.

Another scum graduates with an "footociate in THEology"degree.

Here I am going forth as a leader and worker........ to wash windows.

Gradgeeashun Day!

Chatty - who knows. Probably too close to burial area too. Seems like anything cool was dismantled as an "old wineskin". Remember when that was drilled in our brains in TWI2? I needed lots of wine in those days.

Grand Lake Log Homes is who put up the main structure. But most of the finishng work was done by Way Builders (including me and dozens of others). My pay at the time was $30 a month for working 10 hour days, some Saturdays too.

Others know lots more about it.

Grand Lake Log Homes

Here's one. Is that a 9th Corps guy in the background? Sorry to some of u if this brings back repressed memories.

Ted Singing 1979

Most of us were probably faaaar away from the stage anyway, likely in the back smoking cigarettes or skipping the meeting for a beer instead.

Oh, and Ted if u hate this I'll remove it.

Here's how to fix it the next time. What I'm gonna do as a solution.

This has been discussed before but for those who may not remember here is a picture of what was originally promoted at "The Way Corps Chalet". It was to be a haven for any Way Corps who wanted to visit HQ freely any time they wanted. For example, if you were traveling in the area you could stop by and have a place to hang out and stay a while. I remember working hard on the plumbing of this building, under construction in 1978 and finished I believe the following year.

It shortly after became the Presidents home. No Way Corps were allowed to "chill" on that secured and guarded property as I recall. We all know what happens now if you try to freely visit TWI and hang out. (Just ask Doug McMullan.)

I refused to call it by that name in all the 21 years following that I stayed in TWI. I still referred to it as the Corps Chalet because I felt as if we were misled.....again.

Does anyone have more details or memories or insight about the Way Corps Chalet Presidents Home? I have also heard it has been a maintenance nightmare.

HEre is why I joined.

What is the Ways Corps?

Not ancient walls and ivy mantled towers

Where dull denominational traditions

Rule with heavy hand

Believers' deeply springing powers

Not spacious pleasure courts

Or lofty temples of athletic frame

Where devotees of sports mistake a pass-time

For life's highest game.

Not fashion or renown

Or wealthy patronage and rich estate

No, none of these can crown the Ways Corps with light

And make it truly great.

But equipped believers, ambassadors strong and wise

Who teach because they love the teacher's task

And find their richest prize

In eyes that open, and in minds that ask

You may PUKE scum now!!

Pope DB I see ur password worked this time. It's about time u started coming to fellowship. We've been faithful on here for years, holding it forth daily, moving it, shaking things up and putting out our best, while the likes of you have been walking to and fro in the hollers of TN seeking no telling what.

Study to shew yerself faithful. Go back and read and reread and retemorize all past writings. In return Jesus will turn your 56k into broadband.

John R.

PS - I finished scanning all Ted's classic pics he gave me. He bought a new comp but has problems with his new fangled gadget. I gotta go help that young man soon. I'll say hi.
