I knew a corps grad that told me that he had received revelation that he was to enter into the race for the US Senate...
He had never attended college and had no political experience. When I asked him how he intended to run his campaign...he grinned and said "I dunno"...and then he popped another beer...he was serious.
A couple of weeks ago, following the worst-ever-in-Reno-history snow (when snow/slush is still on the ground), I have this little KIA sportage. . .and the freeway was backed up for miles, so, I thought to take a shortcut.
The "shortcut is over an unpaved dirt-snow-mud road.
Stupid idea.
Holy Spirit said, "don't even try it. Take the paved road."
Going past the other end of the "shortcut" there are bigger and more formidable off-road models of reno 4-wheel trucks stuck in the "road" I was going to try.
This was stupid revelation because I shouldn't have even been thinking of driving that "road." An idiot would have known better.
gee iwas so nobrained washed that accutually waited for revelation on weather to take a left or right at a stop sign!weather to buy wheat or white bread. revalation to call mom and dad or not.
Same guy (and I won't give a name in a million years- he turned out kind of OK) would pray for God to "bless" his maijuana, but not his acid. Thought the acid was a little too far outside of "God's jurisdiction".
How about the whole "genuine spiritual suspicion" thing? Was it supposed to be revelation? Or was it supposed to be 5-senses? Or something in between.... Whatever it was, it couldn't have been good.
When I was a kid in the WOW program my naive 19 year old WOW siter brought this obviously gay guy to tiwg. I mean this guy wore clogs, had a lisp, wore a purse and gestured like a 12 year old girl. He sat thru twig and giggled at evrything, almost cried laughing at the SIT's.
Then afterwards he was flipping thru "The Queering of America" issue of Heart Magazine. The one that says that Cagney and Lacey were secretly lesbians and had a gay looking Uncle Sam on the cover.
He laughed at that and left.
When he left my WOW family was trying to figure out where we went wrong, why he didn't want to take the class or come back to twig. I was 11 years old at the time and said "maybe because he's a homo".
Everyone looked at me like I had three heads. This was 1981 , before the Political Correct era, so it wasn't because I said "homo". It just never occured to them that this guy was gay.
Next day my WOW sister comes home from work and says she spoke to the guy and he told her he was gay.
Calls wen out to out Limb leader and an announcment was made "Georgio got revelation!"
People cried tears of joy and wonderment at how amazing it was that a child could be so in tune with God. It was declared that I had a heightened ability to discern the "spirit of homosexuality"
okay i gotta tell this one. a fellow i "got into the word" ha ha ha ha ha ha was a virgin it seems. he got revelation that i should undershepherd him in all his ways....

Did he turn out to be a big shot leader, cuz he definetly had the requirements down.

In 1979 three carloads of us drove from NYC to New Knoxville for the weekend; attended a Sunday service in the BRC, slept in the cabin.
One of the guys claimed that he was receiving revelation on where the cops were so we could safely exceed the speed limit.
Until we got that speeding ticket on the way home
:D-->
