Man....I used to hate hearing those words....and it was as you say for me as welll.....suggetion of a leader is paramount to a command type crap...would you be blessed to....no I wouldnt be blessed...leads to ....welll why wouldnt you be blessed?

Judging from the content and tone of various posts aimed at all of us one time or another I would say yes, yes he thinks were morons. I mean none of us get it according to mike and we have all forgotten the god breathed content of P-FLOP.

I have a small bit of input, which I will provide, but I defer to folks who may have been in that inner circle back then. I came along in 1996 and left in 2008. I feel that it is as you say, and I base it on my second fellowship coordinator who was 13th corps and at Rome City as well as Emporia. He basically told me to go get my need met when all I wasnted to do was come home from work and study scripture. I used to study around 3 to 4 hours each evening. So, he would push me to go ahead and loosen up...get my need met and there was nothing wrong with that to him. Personally, by that time I was coming out of running the streets and really didnt need to take advantage of anymore women cause I had done it plenty and was ashamed. I lived with him and his family for a year and seven months. He talked often of all the spiritual pressure on the man of God, and at that time it had been wierwille and it was martindale's turn. So he linked it to the head honchos and it was made known to me in no uncertain terms that these men had extra needs that needed tending to because of the great godly responsibility they had on them. I will spare you my retort at this stage of my life and let's just chalk it up to adultery and fornication is always wrong.

I left twi in 2008 and was involved with the way corps training when they moved from Gunnison back to New Knoxville. I can't say what they are doing now but back in 2006 or so that snow job story was still taught in closed circles and still taught to the in residence way corps all the while twi was editing out claims such as the snow job story from all their publications. It's relevant because a lot of people still believe it happened.

Good point. Thx.

Believe to live abundantly on a genuine need basis. Adundantly and need basis are contradictory terms. I mean, I could live abundantly in a prison cell having my need met with three hots and a cot because that's all I would need so comissary would be my abundance...ya...

Most of the transcript is as worthless as the red drapes story....why would I care when I have completely rejected the law of believing for the name it and claim it garbage it is.

I remember being on mike's side of the fense and arguing with people I was selling classes....I mean witnessing to and I remember it well. I would have fantasies of arguing with spirits and sending them into discomfiture in some make believe spiritual competition that takes between our ears...and all that mess....deliverance has never felt so good and mike reminds me of where I came from and encourages me to keep on heading where Im headed. Sucks for mike to remain in this state but we all have our choices.

but....but...I was taking the high road....

Its only PFLAP that I take issue with.

Oh...that's their tacit manner of acknowlidging that it was complete and utter bullshonta from jump.

Oh, he woke up...take note...

Yw! I have trouble walking at times as well...sometimes its easier to stay in chill mode when Im not working. Ditto.

I guess hi jacking the topic with Kaneh Bosem is up in smoke....ok...I'll try to stop now ....

It's a mixed bag (pun intended) in the US. Kind of a hybrid where some states do medical mj only, some do recreational and medical mj, and some states still have it outlawed. Federally, it's all illegal, but the states rights do supercede federal law at times. Personally, I'm for it's responsible use as there are many many medical benefits. I watched Rick Simpsons story as well, the maker of RSO oil. He cured his own cancer and many others as well with his oil. Anywho...back to God not having a budget and french doors or whatever...

Mike, please, the topic turned pleasant. Kaneh Bosem.

But it's for our LEARNING...

If u haven't already look up Kaneh Bosem on YouTube...

Sounds like the makings of a great day!

Hi and welcome! Nice to make your aquiantence.

Yeah...they had an excellor session right before they spoke in tongues....quit reading wierwille's goofy practices into scripture.

You are correct, it was pushed as having an answer to everything in life.

Careful there, Chockful, seems you are speaking too much historical truth regarding vpw and you are setting mikey's cognitive dissonance into overdrive...that nostalgic, mostly romantiscized version of the bad ole days is all these wayfers have to hold onto, that and a romantiscied, nostalgic version of thier bronzed idol...

And I don't doubt a word of it. However, it begs the question, what changed? Wierwille took control of everything he could for his own base greed and squeezed the life out of everything he could. I do not believe wierwille's lo shonta garbage was genuine. That others did manifest legit tongues points to Christ, not wierwille.
