Most of what I learned of God, Jesus Christ, holy spirit and the Bible, I learned in the church I grew up in and from my parents. I am tempted to say that ALL that I learned from vee pee and the TWIt organization did not help my relationship with God or my relationship with my fellow man one whit. But I'm sure that's not enitrely accurate.
However, I feel that my life is no better, more enriched or closer to God because of my involvement with TWI. I see value in my time in the church growing up. I see value in my time with non TWIt friends and family members, I see no value in my time with TWI. I realize that YMMV and that for many people, it does, but it's just not that way for me and probably because of WHEN I became involved (early 90's).
The only reason one would believe that the ends justified the means pertaining to twi is to absolve themselves and their family members of scummy behavior.
It`s that or deal with the fact that loved ones can just plain be sleazy.

Not only were you in twi, but at the wrong time no less.
