  1. Thank you for the link, I quickly took a look and will have to go back and start reading the entries, it looks very interesting and entertaining.
  2. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and all your comments. I'm glad to see that there are others out there who did childrens fellowship. Its funny because kids were forbidden from the adult "twig", if we ever so much as showed out face we better have been bleeding out the eyes. It is amazing how quickly everything had seemed to crumble in the late 80's. Maybe because my parents got out when they did is why they still hold the doctrine of VPW and beleive everything still to this day. I unfortuately got a very sour taste of religion in my mouth, and still to this day have yet to find my way back s to speak. I think I decided to reach out and research the way and how it affected people is because I want my children to have faith and since I have such a warped concept of it I want to see how others handled it and how they were able to reconnect with God.
  3. Hello there, I am new to this forum and after lurking and searching for awhile I have yet to see anyone discuess this topic. I was a child who was raised in The Way from around 1981 till about 1988, I am still unsure why my parents stopped holding twig every Fri. night (my father was a twig coordinator) they still believe in the WAYS beliefs, have every book that was ever published up till 1988 and every teaching take up till about 1990 I would say. When something goes wrong in my life my mother will tell me "Remember your a believer and all you have to do is speak in tongues and God will give you the answer, you just need to listen". So that's a very breif run down, my mother ran the Sat. morning Childrens Fellowship in our home, where myself and my four brothers were to be the "model children" we needed to know all the books of the bible, and obey the one main scripture from the bible which was Ephesians 6:1, that was drilled into our heads from as long as I could remember. My mother had a book, that she actually passed on to me and I still have. Its a red book with gold writting on the front called Teaching Gods Word. It has lesson plans and little craft ideas for coordinators to do with the children. There was also a monthly booklet like thing that was given to all the children, it was yellow and I cant remember the name of it, but inside were songs, coloring pages and short teachings. My mother still has all of them . I have tried to explain to them that the Way is known as a "cult" but again they wont listen. They are not in active contact with anyone but still carry on the beliefs and will "witness" to pretty much anyone who will stand still. Did anyone else attend, teach or hear of childrens fellowshp? P.S. This was in southern california
  4. Ya, but at the time I remember thinking it was cool that we got to throw all this stuff into a fire and watch it burn. then of course when you woke up the next morning and all you had were some lincoln logs, it was kind of a bummer.
  5. Thanks, I just found this forum and its great! Ya the Way in our area (southern california) had a Burning of the Chaff and from talking to others no one else has had the pleasure of this event. I was about 9 and we had to go threw the house and take any and all things devilish (which was about 90% of our toys) and had a big bon fire on the beach and burnt everything.
  6. have to burn all your toys because your parents say the are "devilish"
