I haven't been out long. (About 2 years) There was a big change after Craig got tossed. Instead of yelling at people which makes TWI look bad they are taught to be nice to your face now. However, they do NOT think of you ANY differently. If you could hear what they say about people who are gone, it hasn't changed ONE bit. Still the same nasty comments but they don't show it in public.
Beating kids with a spoon was the same way. Wayfers were told not to do in PUBLIC because it made the ministry look bad.
They're whacked, alright. Reminds me, I think I've bumped into maybe 2-3 active Way peeps since leaving, one I knew well at one time and lo and behold out of the blue, met them at a school function. They were back in town or something or other. Wouldn't even talk to me or my family, turned their back on us. My daughter called them "the mean people from the Way" which is about all she knew about them. Couple more times, same thing. Then I guess they left the Way finally and a few months later happened to meet someone we knew and they were bawling about how they'd been in the Way and Ohio and whaaaaah, etc. Our friend recognized the name the Way and asked if these people knew us, and of course they did. And of course now that they'd left I guess it was going to be all better.
Or the other possibility, just as realistic, that once a jerk, still a jerk, regardless of what church you go to. Maybe, you never know.
Some people will think they can treat you like crap one day and everybody will just forget about it the next when they change their mind. But it doesn't work that way. Most of the time, sooner or later, it seems we reap what we sow.
Wow, are you people spoiled rotten. What did the Word cost you, anyway? These believers give you their best love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation for our day and our time and in alignment and accordance with the present truth - and you expect sincerity too? Sincerity is a trick of the adversary, people. If you can't switch your love on and off like a Walmart Christmas tree, you're being ruled by your emotions. Come back the Way, before it's too late. Sincerity is no guarantee for the truth. You must synchronize your heart to the revealed Word, as exemplified and illuminated by our ministry, in the renewed mind believer lifestyle, according to the best practices of right doctrine, reproof and correction, with spiritual acuity, casting down the five-senses idols of logic and emotion and walking with the manifested power of the spirit, exemplifying and illuminating the doctrinal perfection of the revealed Word and Will of God, according to the keys and principles made known for the first time since the first time since the first century and the last time before the second coming, and the best time since God told Dr. that if he would teach the Word to this generation the Church would rise and expand and multiply and divide and conquer and prevail and so on and so on. Renew your minds, people.
Sadistic Bastards. I remember Martinpuke teaching that good and evil could not exist together, that evil would win. I guess he spent his life trying to prove just that..

Now, Satori, how about giving us the EXPANDED version, according to usage? :D-->
Incidentally, all my recent conversations with those still in The Way have been quite pleasant, though I think, sadly, that it's because they've all been screwed over enough to be compassionate. -->
Don't kid yourself, George. They still talk bad about you to their twig. They'll be nice till they feel comfortable asking you to come back to fellowship. Turn them down and you're right back where you started.

George, I thinks it's called "comfortably numb'~~~
Hey, I know what I am talking about because I know more WORD than you, therefore I know you better than you know yourself. And if you got a problem with that, then renew your mind. I say this because I love you, don't you know that?
I don't think it's kinder or more gentle. When you have 200 or more angry people in your state and someone egging them on (Craig & co.), it's easy to develop a mob mentality. Now that many, if not all, states are down to 40 or 50, very different dynamics. I think there was a mob-like mentality that ruled TWI for a while. (Hey Craig, isn't that some kind of devil spirit?!) Now there are just small pockets of Wayfers clinging to a dying cult. Hard to keep the torches lit.
TWI has never ever been none no more "Kinder and Gentler" than TWI has ever been ever since TWI has ever been TWI, whatever phase. 1 2 three or 4, screw 5ive 6ix 7even 8ight and all the off shoots TWIster Sister bait

But "kinder and gentler" is a relative term, compared to what? "Instead of shooting you in the head, we have chosen to beat the he** out of you."

Interesting. Reminds me of some comments of one of old leaders after one of Ole Loys verbal beatings- "he does this because he loves us."
