Nice Catcup! I'll bet Paw would throw me out for that one, but not you! Enjoy your celebrity you Victim you! Hahaha!
ya know lingo... I don't know why anyone would ever want to be a christian once they've seen your fine example...
...weren't you going to leave here since you got rich? ...and then you never left but signed in as someone else? ...did you learn to be deceitful from veepee too?
...cuz it sure looks like you've got the venomous righteous mean spiritedness down pretty good...
Body, Soul and Spirit. Now that's a dandy! I really loved the way VP showed from the Scripture how God made us a three part being. Well, three part if we ended up getting born again and filled with God's holy spirit that is. I mean, that totally blessed my life! Yeah, there were some real gems in that class...
Excuse me, sorry to risk sounding pedantic, but it should be Body AND Soul AND Spirit, because of the use of the figure of speech Polysyndeton.
Being introduced to figures of speech was great, too.
I spent a lot of time in Bulliger's F.O.S. book and am glad for it.
don't know what happened in your life. Since the first thing you said to me was "shut up" I may not listen so attentively, though. I hope you understand. I prefer hanging around with polite people, but that's just a strange quirk of my personality.
i actually got out of bed because i was thinking of your post
you don't know what happend in my life ? can you read ?
you prefer hanging out with polite people ? like veepee ????? what are you, insane ?????? did you read what i wrote ?????
--
i went upstairs and i looked at my kid sound asleep and said to myself, i would never rape him
this is not an excuse but where i'm from when you say "oh shut up" it doesn't sound so bad, like it does on the internet, it's almost funny
never mind
but i'm still sick about people ignoring what marsha and catcup and i told
Send me a link by pm and I'll glady read your story and catcup's, which I am only vaguely aware of.
Not just for you, but to a number of people here, there is a guy named David Stine who has a radio show late at night. He's with Sporting News radio, I believe, and he describes his show as a "celebration of life through sports."
A lot of it isn't about sports at all.
He pushes a positive philosophy that is worth looking at.
Every call begins the same (though, of course the callers vary)
STINE: "Dave in Chicago, tell me something good in your life."
With every caller it is the same. No matter what they want to talk about, they have to tell something positive about their life, and they have to go into detail and not just say, "I got some great kids" or something. They have to paint a picture. Hearing story after story of positive things is nice because we tend to think of how we might answer the request to tell something good about our lives.
When we focus on the positive, negative things have less predominance in our lives.
When we focus on God's love for us and realize He has given us that love to share, and not be stingy about it and we do so, our lives dramatically improve.
When we focus on God's forgiveness for us and realize He has given us that forgiveness to share, and not be stingy about it and we do so, our lives dramatically improve.
We need to be joyous in our lives and to be a blessing to others.
It can be very hard to forgive some people, but the more we do so we relieve ourselves of burdens that keep us from being the man or woman we really want to be.
Looking over your past posts, and how they portrayed extolling the 'goodness' of PFAL and VPW's 'teaching of the turd---err, I mean Word' far over the realization that decent people (like Excie and Catcup's sister Marsha) have been ravaged by your 'Father in the Turd--err, Word', ... and then you refer those who complain about that as 'losers'?
Tell me something chief. Is the 'god' that inspires those responses of yours really the kind of God that saves and makes you whole? Is that the kind of Deity worth worshipping? ..... To be frank and open with you, THAT is the kind of deity that I have THROWN OUT WHOLESALE! That is the kind of deity that has contributed to inspiring me to become a rank unbeliever in a god, ANY god. And sure as hell a god like *that* who demands that his people focus more loyalty upon some kraut and his mediocre class, than on those who were manipulated and violated by this same kraut!
Yeah, yeah, I am angry and 'negative sounding'; guess I'm not the Positive Image of a Victorious Believer that Martindale expects us to be, ehh? <_< Well, after reading yours, Whitedove's, and Oldies downplaying/dismissal/ignoring of those who have proven their case with their documented accounts, which are backed-up with a multitude of witnesses, and for no better reason than to keep the reputation of Victor Paul Wierwille and his ministry afloat, ... I think I have a good reason.
Oh, and Whitedove, your approach and (mis)usage of "we gotta have proof of the accusing accounts given" is just that, ... a misusage. Because you take these accounts to ANY court in the country, with the documentation and supporting witnesses, ... and even a 1st year law student could get a _proving_ conviction with his/her eyes closed. ... In a heartbeat.
And what counter evidence have YOU given to successfully argue against these accounts? ... Nothing. ... Nada. ... Ziltch. ... Zippo. ... The big egg.
If you bitterness freaks are so sick of input from the likes of us then why don't you do what Mike did awhile back and have a PM conference call. He organized a PM only discussion about PFAL that was positive. No outsiders, no negativity. You guys won't do that because you really do all your complaining to be seen of men, not to please God.
I feel sorry for Doreen. She started this thread. She only has 7 posts. She probably thinks it's her fault that this thread has taken the direction it has taken. God if she only knew what carnage has already happened here.
This particular thread was intended to be mostly positive and upbeat and then it got derailed by the negative people. But there are other threads that were intended to be about negative stuff which got derailed by the positive people. The threads like that can get ugly but they can also cause release for the people involved. They start out being about the topic and then it's all about egos and credibility.
None of us positive people are trying to shut anybody up; we're just sick of being misrepresented. We sorta think youse guys are the ones trying to shut US up. So just keep on arguing with us about everything. That'll shut us up.
Garth, I have not seen everything that supposedly "proves" anything.
What I have seen are allegations, for the most part.
I happen to love my country and the ideals and principles she was founded upon.
Among them are giving the accused a fair shake.
That means the accused has the right to face and cross examine an accuser and evidence presented against him.
That means the accused has the right to present exculpatory or explanatory evidence.
That means the accused deserves to have their case heard by a fair and impartial jury.
That means the accused has the right to a speedy and public trial.
That means the accused has a right to appeal.
That means the accused has a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.
There is more, but you get the picture.
Over 667,000 Americans have given their lives so we can have this system and to abandon it is to spit on their graves.
Dramatic accusations, even by many people, do not constitute "proof."
People get caught up in the emotion of the charge and forget to allow the process we have in place to proceed.
Not long ago members of the Dyuke University lacrosse team were facing rape charges and initially many were prepared to hang them.
Another dramatic case where people got caught up in the emotion of the grossness of the charges was the McMartin preschool or kindergarten case where sexual abuse of small children was alleged against the staff.
I have posted previously about the Lisk sisters case in Spotsylvania County, Va.
Check out the Innocence Project sometime. They have gotten over 100 falsely accused people off of death row.
Well then she SHOULDN`T have ASKED us if we STILL believed it johniam. She shouldn`t have asked if that was not her intention.
Cid shouldn`t have accused me of lying if he didn`t want to see the proof that I wasn`t.
....and LASTLY...it`s pretty disturbing the savage viciousness demonstrated to your brothers and sisters by you supposedly *positive* and *upbeat* folks ...I don`t understand how you can claim this after what you guys have said and done to people here.

I still believe those few things, with one qualification. We were taught we didn't go to heaven "right away" as you put it. But they were rather vague about what happens in the end. I believe we do

Since leaving TWI, I have kind of devolved back almost to where my beliefs were just before getting into TWI. Although in my family we were raised Southern Baptist, we never believed Jesus was God.

Unlike oldies, I believe that the majority of what was taught in pfal was wrong... However, as a Christian, I do believe in "eventual" eternal life and I believe that Jesus was the son of God and not

You know what, I am well aware of the rules. I can't remember being this angry on this board before.
As far as I'm concerned, you're a fkg coward and a blind idiot.

Hear hear!
It's like when you mention Bill Clinton, all some people will talk about is the affair with Lewinsky and the other alleged liaisons.
They will not acknowledge that he did many good things for our country.
There are other threads to dwell on the negative.
To continue to cut and paste the same tired spiel no matter what the thread title makes the poster look pathological.

Well "WW" I had to try didn't I ?
I was a 17 year old boy.
JUST left home for the first time.
I loved Marsha.
She was GREAT.
Watching her fall apart... and believeing that she was possessed (from what I had been told).
Not being able to do anything to REALLY help...
Well, it brings me a little guilt.
Everywhere she turned...she was slammed.
I can't imagine what that was like.
Then to hear her (and others) talked about ,in here, like they're whores or something.
Just a continuation of the original incident.
Still PICKED APART by "the family" (?)
OH MAN!!
I would hope that NONE of us would tolerate this of someone we love.
Frankly I'm surprised I wrote so many words.
I could have summed up my feelings simply with...
F.... YOU!!!

Excuse me, sorry to risk sounding pedantic, but it should be Body AND Soul AND Spirit, because of the use of the figure of speech Polysyndeton.
Being introduced to figures of speech was great, too.
I spent a lot of time in Bulliger's F.O.S. book and am glad for it.
Body And Soul And Spirit
Formed And Made And Created
Great lessons, they opened door to me........

This was no cut and paste, dear.
This thread took this direction when a poster answered a question Jonny posed and HE DID NOT LIKE THE ANSWER.
And he wants to ignore the truth.
