What's that old line? Oh yes: His karma ran over his dogma.
And isn't the etymology of the word 'blackmail' fascinating?
Blackmail - the payment of money exacted by means of intimidation. The word is variously derived from the tribute paid by English and Scottish border dwellers to certain robbers in return for immunity from further raids and other harassments. This tribute was paid in goods or labour, in Latin reditus nigri "blackmail". The opposite is blanche firmes or reditus albi "white rent" denoting payment by silver. Alternatively, McKay derives it from two Scottish Gaelic words: blathaich "to protect" and mal "tribute, payment". He notes that the practice was common in the Highlands of Scotland as well as the Borders. (from Wiktionary)
I have this strange sense of deja vu - will his ill-health be blamed on the burden he is bearing for all believers? Will it become the believers' faults that he is so ill? (we already know what a VP-emulator he has been in the past!)
i do know from him that the usa way corps caused the downfall of the "ministry" -- i hope they haven't done it again
I dunno. This isn't the prayer forum, or in memoriam. If one wants to expect respectful posts, I think that would be the place to post a prayer request, or death notice..
instead, we get a request asking to join in a wayish slaverish 24 hour of prayer. Get in contact with us, so we can schedule you in..
Maybe there is some logic in this.. maybe the situation is serious enough that they will need to blame somebody for dropping the ball in regards to the continuous prayer deal, in case something "goes wrong"..
I guess I just don't get it. The man did some seriously evil things in his life, damaged marriages, damaged people psychologically, aided and abetted criminal activity and now that he's fallen on hard times, we're supposed to feel sorry for him? Well, call me a 6th grader, then, because I just don't see it.
Actually I posted that note because I thought you'd want to know what was happening. It was a "had you heard", otherwise I would have put it in the prayer request forum.
The most interesting thing here.. we have an individual with a fair sampling of former twisters among whon at the best can say about this individual is "sorry, I can't think of anything nice to say.."
I mean, that's a lot of bad karma, or something, or whatever you may call it that this character has engendered. Doesn't seem to go away very easily, either.. it's been over twenty years..
dear tommyz, with all respect, when a dear friend of mine was beyond despair over in europe, mr. geer called me in the US and told me to forget about him, that he was packing "big ones" -- aka devil spirits

What was he like as a person? (I don't know about now, so I will go with what he WAS like, and proceed from there.) He wasn't terribly imposing physically. However, it was not beneath him to co

At the time, I didn't know much about what was going on. These issues were not talked about as it was considered unedifying. As far as I was aware, the Way in Great Br1tain was subservient to the Way

Shame on YOU, YOU BAD BAD believers!!!
Just out of curiousity, did he need to have an eye removed? <_<
(Yes I read the passing of the poop, so I know though he tried ever so hard to appear humble, he had very real "I" problems.)

Suffering from Way II much time on my hands, a thought crossed my brainbox;
If Peter in Rome felt so unworthy to be crucified as Jesus was?
Did Way Savior Geer have his eye removed while straped to the bottom of the operating table????

The man has damaged countless lives through the years....... and you wonder why people are having a hard time mustering sympathy? :wacko:

I dont care if he deserves or gets sympathy.
Besides, my mother always said you get sympathy in the dictionary, between sin and syphilis.
Do you have to go off like rabid 6th graders? Do you not see your venom staining your life?

My mom? No, not that I know of. I suppose it's possible, though, after I moved away.

Yes Ex, my Mom met him quite a few times. Thought he was a pompous Arse with a nasty streak.
But she didnt lose any of her "Living Life Grand" because of him...

No offense intended either here, TZ
"While presenting the Walking in God's Power advanced class material on
"The Two Kingdoms" he became very seriously ill and has been
hospitalized. He is being cared for at Maine Medical Center in
Portland, Maine.
He asks that that there not be any flowers sent as there are allergy issues."
Can't say for sure but maybe God was trying to tell him something. Like Stop. Doing that.
Now that he has, recovery can start.
(using the figure of Speech of Permission there, of course because God would never bop someone over the head to get their attention, of course. Not.)
Between the illness and the allergies, where's the Walking in God's Power?
Achoo.

They are probably busy writing a press release. Or more likely two or three to release depending on what the outcome is..
