WordWolf Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Here's some irony. In PLAF (The Wonder Class), Wierwille talked about how he would prepare part of his Sunday sermon and then put it in his desk drawer until he worked on it again. Then, come Sunday morning, the sermon fell flat because the devil had looked at his teaching throughout the week and turned the congregation against it by Sunday morning. This was his argument for the value of spontaneity. Yet, he continually refused to re-film "the class", itself, because, he said, it couldn't be recreated. I guess he really didn't believe that silly illustration himself, now, did he?. IIRC, vpw claimed some OTHER Christian spent the week prepping a sermon. (Can't have vpw making lots of mistakes.) vpw told him that's the problem-the devil read it all week and reverse-prepped the congregation. vpw said, by contrast, he stepped to the podium with no planning and no preparation. "That way, even the devil doesn't know what I'm going to teach on." Interesting how vpw is so lauded by current twi, yet his examples are so reviled. Can't EVER go up to the podium with the slightest spontaneity. Gotta let the devil have MONTHS to prepare for your "teaching". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is still there, however, because he wasn't willing to risk letting spontaneity take its course by remaking the class . edit: And, in retrospect, I think he just made up this silly story,like he did so many others, to toot his own horn. "Look at me, I'm sooooo spiritual, I can just reach up in Daddy's cookie jar and he tells me exactly what I need to teach."
