That's what my ears hear every time someone says to me, "God told me that...." whatever. I just think, oh well, I'm talking to another idiot today.
It's like a spiritual version of the Jerry Springer Show. But instead of watching feuding women get up and chase each other around the chairs on stage, you can watch an idiot chase her common sense out the door.
You might want to try it next time it happens to you, save yourself a lot of wasted time and unnecessary heartache.
Is this on topic? I don't care, I live under grace you know.
and people think I live a grand delusion claiming to be a timelord. heck Mstart, I can regenerate whole body parts, and I am The Doctor(not Wierwille) and got mine from the University of Gallifrey in history and astronomy, NOT!
I remember hearing that Claudettee Royale blew off a career at Metropolital Opera House to go in the way corps, but her ability was no delusion. Metropolitan Opera house? Dunno, but she could've at least gotten her foot in the door.
How about this....
"The word IS over the world!"
"God told me to pay the way corps full time salary!"
You only missed a few details here. "VP womanized, raped, drugged, stole, plagiarized, was an arrogant, abrasive self-serving raging alcoholic sob who pretended to be an apostle or prophet, and had delusions of Godhood. Therefore Christ isn't coming back."

That WAS a "delusion of grandeur." There were plenty of people who had SOME talent.
In twi, the usual dash was that twi'ers were "THE GREATEST" and that they were
the equal of the very best outside twi.
CR was an excellent singer, but there's lots of excellent singers.
Ever see the semi-finals on "American Idol" or any equivalent show, any season,
any COUNTRY?
There's lots of singers with an equal level of talent, and lots of singers with MORE
talent.
Furthermore, there's a lot of competition to even APPLY to the Metropolitan Opera
Company (the House doesn't employ singers, but the Company performs at the House.)
CR might even have gotten to apply. Unless she's improved dramatically, it's unlikely
she would have made that PARTICULAR cut. She could probably make a career out of
singing somewhere with less competition-but less fame in the name.
Whatever happened to more truthful speech, like "We have some excellent people
who do well and we are proud of their performance abilities. We showcase them when
we have the opportunity"? But from the beginning, vpw made it twi practice that
wild claims were to be used whenever they couldn't be checked for accuracy.
How about this....
"The word IS over the world!"
"God told me to pay the way corps full time salary!"
Yeah, lcm learned to make wild claims from vpw, and was a lot
more blatant and overt about it. He made some of them into policy
decisions- which meant Delusions of Grandeur were making POLICY.
That's a recipe for destruction. Small wonder people RAN from twi
and lcm ended up in court. If twi had lesser lawyers, lcm might have
spent time in prison.
My personal favorite...
VP sinned, therefore Christ isn't coming back!
Couldn't resist.
Yeah, making up claims nobody ever made is hard for some people to resist.
When someone claimed others were saying "vpw sinned and therefore did no good",
I made a poll for it and a thread. NOBODY said that was their position,
even ANONYMOUSLY.
BTW, please don't confuse "vpw sinned"-which is true for everybody except JC-
with "vpw womanized, raped, drugged, stole, plagiarized, was an arrogant, abrasive self-serving raging alcoholic sob who pretended to be an apostle or prophet, and had delusions of godhood."
Don't belittle vpw's accomplishments.
vpw worked VERY HARD at womanizing, raping, theft, plagiarizing, self-service,
alcoholism, and impersonation of various ministries, and worked fairly hard
at the drugging and delusions of godhood.
Acknowledge EVERYTHING he did-don't just cherry-pick the ones you like.
(I acknowledge the ones I like and dislike, both.)
If politics were to enter this discussion, I'm sure there are others who would counter
that by saying "So.....in 2008, did God call Obama to the office of US President?"
Religion and Politics......Beware of the leaven of the hierarchy!!!
I'm not remembering Obama having claimed any call from God to be president. My comment was intended to show a couple of people who have laid claim to said calling when it appears they are just a good bit full of themselves.

Delusions of Grandeur.....
Whether its a small town cop, a cult leader, a professor, a scientist,
a hollywood actor, a sport icon, a federal judge, a dictator, etc.
......the nature of man tends to gravitate towards pride and vanity.
When left unchecked, delusions of grandeur tend to seep in, and once in,
are inhabited a lifetime. Without check and balances and accountability,
the mind of man can easily fabricate delusions.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Is that what you are trying to say?

Delusion numero uno:
Thinking that we knew that we knew that we knew.

Whether wierwille was imitating Lawrence Welk's spotlighting of selected singers, dancers,
and musicians.....I don't know.
But wierwille was never shy in hiding his favorite......and Stevie K@y L0uie was front-n-center
for several years before CR.

Another great delusional claim:
"The Way Corps: The Greatest Leadership Training Program on Earth."
My @$$. Not an ounce of leadership comes from within.
