The AC specials are coming to TWI!!
AC grads will be able to fellowship around the greatness of God’s word at TWI HQ at two specials planned for Nov 24-26, 2006 and April 20-22, 2007.
AC specials give grads of the class series the opportunity to get together and study a topic from God’s word in depth. At these events, AC grads deepen their understanding of the scriptures and learn how to manifest the power of God to a greater degree. Participants of these will also enjoy a time of rich fellowship with others from all over the world who have gathered at the heart of our worldwide ministry hq.
The desire of AC grads is to become more skillful in the Word and these power-packed specials will offer graduates penty of material for their continued study and growth. In November, participants will study the scriptures on the topic “The Renewed Mind: The Key to Power”. Then in April 2007 the grads will study “Ambassadors for Christ: Living the Word”.
Both events will present AC grad level teachings in the household sessions with the doctrine of God’s word being the foundation for each week-end. Because the aim of education is action, the teachings will show students in a variety of inspiriting ways how to carry out that doctrine in their practical walk. The schedule will also provide time for the participants to review and “re-search” (sic) the scriptures, solidifying what they have learned.
In addition to the many exciting Biblical teachings, the AC specials in 06 and 07 will have live Way Prod, sweet fellowship and delicious food. By making the commitment to be a part of one of these at international hq, disciples can anticipate an abundant and power filled time of blessings and refreshment in God’s word.
After attending AC special in 2004, one excited participant shared, “There is power in God’s word. Because of my desire and decision to grow in His word, I saw God’s power go into work mightily in my life. He also opened doors for me to bring His power to others by allowing me to serve in leadership capacity in my local fellowship, in my job and in my community. This special was like the icing on the cake, and I’m ready for a second helping.”
Another jubilant student shared, “There is no doubt that by spending ore time in the Word, I will have more truth to share, more love to give, and more power to prevail.” As believers partake of the “more” that God has made available, He will open doors of service for ways in which to give more in life and, in turn, to receive more of His abundance.
The registration deadline for the Nov. special is Friday, Sept 8, 2006. For April, 2007 – Fri, Feb. 2007.
Registration for each event is:
- $160 for adults
- $110 for dependents 16-23 years
- $110 for WD alum
Qualified grads may attend either or both based on availability.
Well, folks - here's proof from the horse's mouth that all they are doing is re-reading TWI publications in this training.....Also, looks like nothing has changed at all......
WC Training:
….”not a day goes by that we have not reflected on our training and gleaned from what it has provided.
Whether we’re working our secular occupations, cleaning our home, planning the work of the ministry, or believing to minister to people’s hearts and lives, the WC training has helped to make it better…”
At Gunnison the in-res WC program is preparing men and women for a lifetime of Christian service. During their two years of training, they immerse themselves in God’s word and practical leadership skills. Whether in study hall, learning in class, working at Gunnison, preparing to teach, or harvesting logs for firewood, the students are being prepared for leadership service. The WC learn to lead wisely and lovingly. HA HA HA HA HA
2 Tim 1:13 – Hold fast to the form of sound words….
Upon arriving at Gunnison in Aug 2005, the student body participated in a time of orientation to build heart and vision for being successful in managing practical areas of their lives while in res. The students were taught leadership skills such as detailed scheduling, communicating and reporting back, maintaining effective filing systems, budgeting, and other practical management principles to help them as students and leaders. (I wonder if they also teach that you can’t put spoons and forks into the same sections in the dishwashwer – to make sure the handle of the coffee pot, the spoon and the handle of the coffee cup are facing the right way – to make sure the triangles on the carpet are perfect when vacuuming…. Maybe that’s where my ex learned those things…) Because the motto of the WC is “It is written”, the students first learn what God’s word says about these areas. Then in the training they faithfully build upon that solid foundation – layer by layer, principle by principle, truth by truth.
Phil 1:9-11
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment…..
In the fall the students focused on a series of study times called “Ministry Resources Studies” TWI provides resources such as oral teachings and written publications that contain Biblical research and teaching. This research and teaching of God’s word helps people to understand and apply it. During these study times, the in-res WC learn to adeptly utilize these resources to help themselves and others.
The students were presented with hypothetical but common situations where they may be called to serve. In searching out word-based solutions, they learn to use the word taught in current STS services and Rag articles, on TWIs website and in our ministry books, publications and oral teachings.
One student in the final year of training shares, “The ministry resources study times are not only inspiring to me to dig deeper into the truths we have available right at our fingertips, but they’re also building my confidence in becoming a minister. I have more boldness now in knowing where to go to help people in various life situations. What is even more exciting is that I am building such a healthy word-based habit in my life, and I can help others build it in theirs.”
Study hall is also a focused time in the Bible that helps the students build strong study habits. One recent grad writes, “Working in the publications dept at hq allows me to use many of the things I learned in study hall. Each day I believe to help make each publication the best before it goes to print. It’s an exciting adventure, and I work with loving and encouraging people – a team of WC and AC grads. I am thankful for the training that showed me how to build hours of disciplined study into my life in that wonderful Household Commons Library….”
A new activity to help the students grow in communicating clearly and precisely was a training in announcements. This class was geared toward presenting formal and informal announcements. The students were given audiocassette examples of informal announcemements mad at various noon meals at hq. In addition, they watched STS videos for examples of formal announcements and promotions. Then they were each assigned to prepare and present both a formal and an informal announcement.
One student commented, “I saw the word behind both the preparation and the delivery of the announcement. I saw how important it is to deliver the message with godly intent and heart, as well as to be accurate and precise.”
Communicating the heart of God and the ministry in this manner helps to prepare the WC for a lifetime of Christian service.
1 Tim 4:6
If thou put the brethren in rememberance of these things, thou shalt be a good inister….
These are all examples of how the WC training prepares folks to be good ministers of JC. The students build God’s word and practical leadership skills into the fabric of their lives, growing in their confidence and their joy of service.
A recent WC grad writes, “I have been so blessed serving in my first assignment. I really see how the training helped me to grow in every aspect of my life. I see that no matter what I am asked to do – I can do. Whether I am working in the office, serving in the OSC dining room, doing hair and makeup for the STS or volunteering for snow removal, I am here to serve. I know I’ll be successful because WC training taught me to love to serve, to be flexible, to be gracious and to believe that God is my sufficiency in every situation. I am ready and willing to do what I know and even what I don’t know because I am willing to learn.
Ps 21:2, says you have given him his heart’s desire…. That describes me! God has withheld nothing from me I am very thankful for how God works in our leadership to teach the best of what is available to the in-residence WC. How can I not want to serve Him for a lifetime?”

I wonder if John S's paper on Adultery is included.....I wonder if the WC thesis papers are included...especially the ones vee pee plagarized and put his name on.....which ones are included???
They tossed out all the ones from Rome City and probably from Emporia.....
Think they probably tossed all the ones from the genuine researchers who were correct, honest and full of integrity to the point of leaving TWI?
What's left to study of TWI materials but the b.s. and error-ridden material they have??
RumRunner...You're much too modest...if I'm not mistaken, Wierwille stole YOUR corps thesis and added it to one of his books...put his name to it of course.

HAHAHAHAHA - too true - but I'm not bragging about any of that Groucho - don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed by that shyite
Emergency Meeting called for: I must ask each and everyone of you. Who is this "insurgent"? Tell Rivenbark to pull $250.000 out of the bank so we can invest it in catching this person (insurgent).
One student in the final year of training shares, “The ministry resources study times are not only inspiring to me to dig deeper into the truths we have available right at our fingertips, but they’re also building my confidence in becoming a minister. I have more boldness now in knowing where to go to help people in various life situations. What is even more exciting is that I am building such a healthy word-based habit in my life, and I can help others build it in theirs.”
I wonder what the other in res. person was doing?
One student commented, “I saw the word behind both the preparation and the delivery of the announcement. I saw how important it is to deliver the message with godly intent and heart, as well as to be accurate and precise.”
What's interesting about how they "make the Present Truth" their own, is how they never seem to go any deeper with the Word than what has already been done. It's always more of the same, regurgitated. Nothing is really "worked" - it's just passed over again and again.
Belle pointed out how their research is error-ridden. Since they "review" it so much, don't you think they'd find some of those errors? But they wouldn't dare make an improvement on a single article, chapter from a book, or class because since they consider their leaders to be infallable, thus, the leaders' research is perfect, as well. Far be it from them to ever admit something wasn't as perfect as they thought. Of course, this is perfectly logical for them. Don't you remember the saying about, "If leadership suggests it, it's as good as a commandment from God!"
I wouldn't be a bit suprised if Session One of the new class has:
Yeah, but it's two different "classes", so that means the pressure's going to be on to attend both of them. I wonder what all those costs include....I'll bet it doesn't include snacks and hotel rooms...
I wonder what the other in res. person was doing?
One student commented, “I saw the word behind both the preparation and the delivery of the announcement. I saw how important it is to deliver the message with godly intent and heart, as well as to be accurate and precise.”
Since TWI was associated in my mind w/ hot, humid, dirty summers at the ROA... spring & fall sounded nice... :)
But all the costs involved... maybe they're two separate classes... one family can go, while another watches their younger children... then the next session they switch ;) Hopefully there won’t be any child molesters offering to baby-sit!
From 81 through 2002 we found the meetings & classes to be more 'professional' each year... meaning TWI continued to tighten the belt on physicals... dress, time, seating, arrangement, music, food, presentation... it became cold and calculated... Even the prayers. Leadership was told what to pray for and who to call on…
Although this behavior seemed to be reasonable in light of 'getting better' or 'growing', we realized the entire MARK was being MISSED! :(

The Will of TWI
(Followed by a slide that says, "God who?")
