  1. $20.00

    A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.

    In the room of 200, he asked,

    "Who would like this $20 bill?"

    Hands started going up.

    He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.

    He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

    He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

    Still the hands were up in the air.

    Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"

    And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

    He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

    "Now, who still wants it?"

    Still the hands went into the air.

    My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.

    No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

    It was still worth $20.

    Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the

    Decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

    We feel as though we are worthless.

    But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

    Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

    The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

    You are special - Don't EVER forget it!

    :love3:

  2. In light ol Loy's 'real passion' .... S E X with the woman of his kingdom~

    It is a known fact that cleansing the body, losing weight, eating only good for you foods WILL increase your mental awareness and make you feel more desirable...

    I don't care what ol Loy said he was doing w/ the production... predators are predators... would this have been the time more women were being abused? He must have LOVED showing off his new body….

    All those poor victims... :CUSSING:

  3. my question is, why do you care? if someone gave you an iron-clad, logical, even biblical reason why there are 3 VP's, or some new class, or whatever, WOULD YOU GO BACK? please tell me you never, ever would.

    (((((((((((((sprawled out)))))))))))))

    gee... I don't see a thing wrong with your post!

    To answer you question though... it's not that I 'care' about what 'they're' doing there at TWI, but since I had been fixed in my mind for SOME time that THIS WAS the TRUE HOUSEHOLD...etc, it's nothing MORE than INTERSTING to OBSERVE their actions.

    The more I read, and think for myself, and 'hear' other's similar situations and perspectives... and think MORE... I heal... I like it.... please don't leave the Cafe'... I've been looking on & off here for years... just never had to much to say... mostly reading...

    Take care~ :wave:

  4. I'm just now taking the time to read and get to know everyone here.... this will be a long process...

    (((((((((((((Sea-Vix)))))))))))))

    How are things? How is your Son?

    Your 'story' intrigues me.

    Makes me wonder about the training the Way Corps and other leaders were getting from the start…?

    No mercy on the devil… this concept obviously was misunderstood by the teachers of the leaders, and passed down through each ‘generation’

    It’s CLEAR they don’t understand SPIRITUAL MATTERS. They are practicing and teaching NO MERCY to or for PEOPLE. (with each generation becoming more ferocious in their ‘attacks’)

    God bless and protect you and your family~

  5. referring to the Limoncello:

    As in you don't realize how much you're drinking dangerous...

    Thanks for clearing that up... think we'll stay away from it :B) just too many kids around here for me to be in any danger~

  6. ...I sit and laugh until my whole body shakes when I think about the AOS production...it's as if lcm was announcing to every twi follower, "Hey, look at me, I'm a freaking moron!"...then he would posture himself like Prince Namor, the Submariner...and suddenly he would leap through the air, moving like a ruptured chimpanzee...his holy spurt leotards demonstrating to one and all...that he WAS the mighty mighty mog...

    :jump: VERY funny!

    oh... I think I have one or two of those coloring books in the basement in a box...

    Hubby didn't like to throw anything away... Just haven't been interested in looking through any of that lately~

  7. I'm not finding the phrase 'The Man Of God' in reference to any one man being 'it'.

    Jesus is the only begotten son of God

    1Pe 4:11

    If any man speak,

    let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister,

    let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:

    that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ,

    to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

    How was God being glorified while people were regarding VP or any other man as the MOG for our day and time... This practice is idolitry ...

  8. In RENO?????? Has it ever snowed in Reno, NV?

    Capital Building, Reno, Nevada

    Reno is about 450 miles North/West of Las Vegas.

    It's elevation is about 4,500 feet.

    Beautiful country compared to the dry, harsh desert of Las Vegas.

    Some VERY good snow-skiing places near Lake Tahoe/Reno :wave:

    (We've had snow in Las Vegas too... messed up the driving... some populated mountain areas near-by get so much snow, the roads close, and only those with chains on their tires are permitted through)

    Weirwilles snow experience... I don't know, wasn't there... perhaps that would have been a good thing to keep to himself, and proceed knowing it was the right thing to do... Left it between himself and God... Seems to have turned into a MAIN part of the whole SHOW... Did there HAVE to be an EXPLAINATION to learn and teach?

  9. How about e-bay?

    Check out some local shops, talk with the people, lift the bikes, sit on the bikes...

    See what feels good to you.

    Then check if it's on e-bay, or online.

    Sounds like LOTS of fun... :)

  10. Well... I'm working on being healthy, so Strawberry Shortcake was my favorite pick, since I could just eat the strawberries and leave the cake behind~

    The annoying part was dissapointing...

    Is this test for real? ... I don't know

    Where are the fresh fruit choices? :)

    How about Watermelon... w/ a seed spitting contest... :biglaugh:

  11. i was at a food and wine show the other day and at the wine tasting they had a white burghdundy

    it was great

    Never tried it. Wonder what 'white' means?

    We tried a White Merlot, and found that it was smoother... although the color is still dark~

    Wine for me is a whole new world... glad for this topic... it's been hit & miss for years

  12. Wasn't going to look here... a painful subject.

    Probably like many, we sold our home to make sure we were doing the Will Of God.

    The realestate in Nevada has skyrocketed! In less than 6 years the price of homes has doubled, some even tripled.

    I know coulda, shoulda, woulda... but had we been left alone, making our payments on time, we would own a home, and had the potential to have made over 100K in our POCKET.

    To me that was poor money management.

    The Word talks about debt... we're to pay off our debt, give back what is owed.

    Where does investing come to play in TWI?

    Sheer Stupidity~ :asdf:

  13. J. LOHR Estates Wine:

    SEVEN OAKS PASO ROBLES CABERNET SAUVIGNON

    Aromas and bouquets of cherry, blueberry, violets, and vanilla....

    750 ml bottle

    13.5% ALC by Vol

    $9.77 @ Sam's Club

    Very nice flavor... blueberry was distinct... lasting after taste...

    :)

  14. question??? why didn't donna martinfart have an extra in her purse??

    Donna had servants for that... I carried TWO extra pair just in case there was someone who needed help & for myself...

    :asdf:

    What blows me away is how me and so many others just sat there while things like this were said about people who had left twi or had something tragic happen to them. I just sat there and went "uh huh" in my head.

    I remember crying... trying to hide it... feeling scared... something wasn't right~

    I won't take away from a thread about Naomi to add my own story about how my husbands life was so shredded after he died.

    ((((((((Shellon)))))))) how horrible for you and your family :cryhug_1_:

  15. :o

    Should this be read with a Southern Drawl?

    Had to take a look at e-bay... this is for real... too funny~

    Below is part of the listing... there are more pictures:

    I'm selling my wife's box NR!! Relisted

    I'm selling my wife's box, I tried to before but ebay pulled it. I'm selling her box because as you can see from the pictures, my cock doesn't fit in her box. If I try and shove it in any further I will tear her box and she doesn't want that. We have tried in the past to get rid of her box but have had no luck. She gave her box to the neighbor twice, but he returned it. Then she tried to give it to the mailman, but he said he rather have my cock. Please help us out. I will ship her box to anywhere in the world. I will only charge up to actual shipping cost. My cock is only pictured as a reference and not included. The box measures about 6 inches tall and 4 3/4 inches wide and deep.

    Before ebay pulled this auction I had over 25,000 hits and 150 watchers. I had replied to 50 questions and dumped about 50 repeats or dumb ones. I will only answer questions about shipping this time, as ONE ebay member complained about my responses and got ebay to pull the auction. What a world we live in, the offense of one ends the entertainment of thousands.

    21 Years of Listening to truth mixed with Lies~ :wave:

  17. So sorry for the loss of your dear friend. She sounded like a great threat to the adversary's kingdom~

    Donna is a fool.

    Being in at the time of that teaching, this just promoted fear. The point wasn't to grieve with the family, it was to 'learn a BIG lesson' from someone else's mistake... so very devilish. Actually, she did seem proud to be the messenger that day...

    Donna accused the father of living a devilish life... why, because he refused to stand with her husband, the famous porn boy martindale?

    What a waste of precious time. How devilish TWI is. People die because there IS a devil. We are to be good to ALL men... especially A RELATIVE OF MORAL CONVICTION! That is more people than are in TWI!!! Small compared to the entire population of the world perhaps...

    Donna and those that teach this should choke to death for messing around with the hearts of God's children :realmad: WOE UNTO THEM!

    Okay... God will deal with that... BUT an apology is in order... which probably won't be made because TWI FEARS a greater loss of followers... mostly loss of income~

  18. Out shopping this evening, and I could have used all of the information in this topic.

    There I was standing in Sam's Club, not sure which wine would be a good choice.

    I'll let you know how the choice went over. Label sounded very good!

    :wave:

  19. Gosh Xena... can't find a crying icon...

    For several years I knew her phone number by heart... she was the most tender hearted woman I've ever met. Well rounded in all aspects of life... never just the ministry, but all parts of life were important to her. She loved the bodies that God gave us, and looked for ways to take better care of them. She loved her animals and took good care of them. She had a severe Green Thumb... People who were hurting, she knew a way to help... she made dumpy little places look better than a magazine....

    She always had something positive to say, usually the Word, it was right in her mouth ready to be spoken... even when all wasn't well... she could see the good...

    She loved being with people, especially those that loved God.

    Maybe she was a bit intimidating... too bold in areas that local WC had no understanding.

    Oh God, where is she? I'm in tears~
