Hi - I don't know what's going on here. But those were great words of advice. In my own personal life -- I have found alot of times on the internet -- words are taken out of contest because there isn't a "tone" behind it. So, someone may comment and not mean it to be rude--but it can be taken that way. It's great to pause and just reflect on "can this be read another way?"

Any one ever heard of an artist David Walker in The Way? There is a painting he did of the Way Tree up on e-Bay. It's kinda of cool looking, never seen it before.

What was Believer's Family and Sex?

Hey guys! Great recipes! Vegan - I'm looking for fast and elaborate. For some reason recently meat makes my stomach turn even though I don't consider myself a vegetarian -- I am just trying to eat less of it and I like Veggie food! Maybe it's the PETA video I watched.... Anyways - I need to learn how to get more protein without the meat (when I'm not eating it). Thanks for all you guy's help.

I'm looking for some vegetarian recipes as I'm sick of eating meat. Anyone have any? I will post some in a bit.

You know you're in a cult if: You're expected to drop everything for an Advanced Class and if you don't go (because of former plans) - you're not believing big enough. You're yelled at and told "if the shoe fits where it" and to basically shut up and not defend yourself. Told you are lazy because you lack attention detail after you cooked for 2 hours, cleaned up after everyone else ate and there was a spot of water on the countertop Never use the word HOPE because it's for the hope of Jesus Christ - not everyday life -- that we BELIEVE for feel that You are superior to any Christian that ever lived. Oh wait, you can't feel because feelings are natural and not real I can't go on......

That is so sad. I am dealing with issues of my own and I just keep telling myself, "It's not what the person says.....but how they live."

Maybe VP and Tom should have been driven out to the woods for a night to set the record straight.

Oh My http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHEoGyGs418 Is it safe to say he had a "res-erection?"

Congrats on your sales. Has anyone ever heard of the book "The Dilemma of Foreign Missions in India" By Victor Paul Wierwille?

Is LEAD an acronym? Does it stand for anything or just means lead?

What was LEAD? I've read about it in a thread and was just wondering.

For me personally, after learning that we didn't go to heaven right after we died was a big blessing. As a teenager I was rebelous and had been suicidal and I always thought it was unfair for people to be up in heaven enjoying God while I'm down here suffering. So, it was a burden lifted when I was taught God is fair and just -- Where is it in Thessalonians -- the dead shall rise first and then we who remain will be with the Lord. I am so happy to know that. And, another thing, believing that the dead are alive now belittles Christ's resurection - which is the apex of Christianity. I thought that was kinda cool when I learned that from O'Hare/Lamsa debate. And it also breeds for spiritual issues, but they're not going anywhere for awhile. As for the trinity -- I always thought that was wrong and actually went to the library once and read where the Catholics voted Jesus in as God. It's not biblical though -- and it was the verse in Romans that says we are "heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ" where I finally really got it! Sunasis (where the two rivers meet). Christ is our big brother, God is our Dad.

Is it just me or has the Way kept the degrating of women prevalent? I've never attended the Way but have been ridiculed by ex-Way members that I'm supporting women's rights. I just watched that funny video posted by Bliss and both of the women have mics and the man has an ear piece yet hardly sings? I don't know, the video was hilarious but it seems like Way men are on High horses about wrong decisions.....

Those videos made me laugh....haha. Funny stuff.

[Q] Study and make the material your own before you teach it to others.[/Q] Hey Highway, I would love a copy. Check your PM cause I sent you one with my e-mail address. I know alot of stuff happened in the Way but the statement that stood out to me was "make the material your own." And that's what I do. I don't read them as truth but alot of times I'm studying in KJV Bible (because that's the best version) and it doesn't make sense to me, so to read the literals I have at the moment and -- I work them. The man that taught and teaches me the Word studied under VPW as did his wife and they tell me the same. Use them as a tool, but make them your own. So, I would love the PDF copy you mentioned you had Highway. It would really help me grow just by working it myself with a little help. God Bless.

I have a Univ. of Life (UOF) class on Acts which I purchased with this statement: University of Life ACTS "The Eight Great Statements" Taught by LCM at VPW's request and recorded for distribution in this class format. Dr was present at every recording session, as his manner was with encouragement and instruction. "Son, you are seeing many things in the Word that I've just been doing for years by inspiration. I'm so thankful you are documenting it." VPW This audio class comes complete with 89 page syllabus.

Thanks for all responses. I was not affiliated with the Way directly when VPW was alive so that's why I may be foggy on terminolgy. The literals just bless me alot when I'm studying scripture. And, I recently found out they were available (1st key of PFAL -- ahah) so, I stepped forth and asked. The literals I have - are Acts which is about 200 pages and Romans which is the same. I have some University of Life courses -- the ACts literals are different than UOF that LCM did (or maybe they were connected but I don't realize because I wasn't in the Way). Anyhow, thanks everyone for replying!!! And, God bless you, he's a good God regardless of what humans do.

I believe so. I know there are some where the verse is literal according to usage and then with expanded translation. And then there are thick literals of Acts and Romans that go into detail explaining each verse with references to other verses. I don't know if they were teachings that were transcribed -- I have just always heard them called literals. I have heard that there are those teachings (literals) on Ephesians, Corinthians, etc. Thanks for your responses.

Thank you for your responses. I have just heard them termed Literals. I have the Acts and Romans which have blessed me alot. So, I was just wondering if someone out there had them laying around in their closet. You never know until you ask and I would like copies from anyone that still has them.

Hi there. I am looking for a copy (it can be a fresh copy) of the literals. (Especially II Corinthians). I know items are sold on eBay but I have yet to run across any literals. Anyone out there willing to make me a copy for the copy and shipping price? Drop me a line and we'll talk. Thanks.

All this food talk is making me hungry -- haha. Does anyone remember waffles with ice cream and fruit for dinner?

Hi All, Thanks for the responses. I have a Biblical Research library and am interested in Old Way material of any sort. I'm interested in TWI 1 ~ with Wierwille. However, I came across some magazines and seem to be missing these. So I am looking for: Jan/Feb 1976 July/Aug 1977 Sept/Oct 1977 Sept / Oct 1979 Mar/April 1981 Jan / Feb 1984 May/ June 1984 July / Aug 1984 Sept / Oct 1984 Nov / Dec 1984 Jan /Feb 1985 Mar / Apr 1985 May / June 1985 July / Aug 1985 I will even take photo copies of the magazines if you have them. I was not in the Way International but am interested in reading the material. Also, if anyone has any magazines from the 60's, I'd like those also. Or any other kind of Way material they just want to get off their hands, I'll take it. Thanks much!

Hi, I'm looking for old Way magazines for research purposes. Does anyone have any that they would be willing to give away? Thanks much!

After everything I learned from the Way teaching, it seems nothing can help me. It seems as though every counselor I go to....knows nothing after knowing what I've been taught. Has anyone else had to face this situation? When you feel you can not go back to the beliefs but now, you can't move forward?
