( Rhetorical question of course )

When he came to our AC in Australia he was more intent on chasing after one of the woman hahaha

B.U.B. bless you bye ( but I guess that won't work coz most of us ain't going anywhere )

I DO know a cupla years back in New Zealand, one of their 'top' emissaries was viciously beaten and then murdered. I did wonder at the time why when all they do is 'good' and 'preach peace and toleration' that this guy met with such a horrible end, i mean with all the 'ying yang thingy' and 'karma' that they believe in, it really seemed to suck ?

and of course feel free to pm me anytime & I'll give you the 'heads-up' on all them who you seem to have warm fuzzy memories about. Any gaps I leave out I'm sure Twinky can fill in nicely

oh & btw Galen...that Oirish meathead mi@#al Ad*^s, only an idiot would even entertain the idea of letting that jerk control/guide/suggest/ ones life ( be it physical oOR spiritual ) Guess you realize I/we don't have any time for him or his mock men of God

Galen said "As some of you know, we have been attending a twig again for the past couple years. Interestingly our Twig Coordinator was telling us last week that during the week he had been listening to Dr. VPW's last teaching." All I can say man is ...I thought you were smarter than that I know the Kiwis and Aussies you know and associate with on facebook. I wish you could see them in the original

And yet, Paul M threatened to personally throw me off the top floor of Indiana Campus if I opened my mouth,when I told him my wife I & kids were leaving because of the adultery we saw going on at the campus !! can't say i love him for that

haha, well said H, er, Twinky After we left twi N.Z. the 'painted pictures' started to fly ! we had a 'coconut' marriage, I was being 'led' by my wife, we were alcoholics ( apparently lcm brought in the 2 drink limit SPECIFICALLY because of us ) well..that made me feel real speeeshul of course the rest of my family members that were still in twi knew it was all outright lies, so they walked Took me awhile to believe that not everyone that came from Oireland was a category 'a' nutcase ! Yup, we REMOVED the goal posts and took 'em with us ! God Bless twinks

Seems to me one of the more frustrating/ludicrous/insidious actions of twi leadershi* was 'changing the lines' or 'rules' depending on their mood or thinking for the week. An example of this was a teaching ( can't remember by whom ) in a way mag entitled 'Philemon 21' and it was about doing 'more' than what was asked of one. Then one day I hear lcm screaming about how it was 'wrong' and 'disobedient' to do more than what one has been asked to do. wtf, that was a warning sign to me that they were becoming one screwed up piece of work

I like that Roy, that was cool :) other replies pretty good too. I'm a bit like Roy on this one... At times God works behind the scenes to help us be the best we can be,( a bit like Dad or Mom helping us to learn to ride a bike first time round ) at other times he's a bit more 'in your face' ( but in a nicer way than twi jerks ) :) God is all powerful, but doesn't hold all the power.

Heya brainfixed, I'm hearin' ya ! actually, impeccable timing, because I was just remembering how one of twi's mind 'warping' seed planting 'ideologies' was their belief that Christian apologetics made for a weak christian. I know Dr. Vic started this bowl of wax when he said " Christian apologetics is where one learns to apologize for being a Christian ". Now...certainly some aspects of Christian apologetics does lean towards that mindset,BUT...what was implied by Dr. Vic' statement was that 'we' were to never apologize for anything, because that would show weakness and open up questions as to what else 'we' could have done/said wrong !!! This I found to be responsible for turning some people overnight into instant ar#@hole&. Even when some leadership I and others knew were being seriously sexually deviant and were confronted about it, despite the FACTS being GLARINGLY OBVIOUS...still wouldn't admit they were wrong thanks for letting me rant.

hahaha, kind of reminds me of the time the New Zealand 'country' co-ord. had his minions come round to build a fence for his house; he sat in the shade with his right hand boy sipping lemonade and giving instructions to them toiling in the heat. mind you, he HAS had a bad back for the last 20 years...HELLO...do you believe in healing you sorry excuse for a 'Christian''Believer' .. or is it only everyone elses lack of spiritual maturity that prohibits your healing ? No wonder Ireland became a lot more peaceful and prosperous place once he left..hahaha

I dunno about looking 'butch', i think a number of women in twi just didn't/ don't know how to dress normally ? womanly ? oh hell, you know what i mean...

well golly gosh, when I saw they had put mic@#l adam* in charge of outreach co-ord. international...I knew there was a better chance of a virgin ending up running twi than twi becoming 'softer & gentler'
