Pace..my cordless keybord is again missing some letters here it's the Italian spelling by chance I meant Peace...I like your nickn./handle...besides love I really longed for peace the most in my lfe...early ife...right now the system robs me of some peace, so I am not replying at the rate, I'd wished to...I realise more than anything now, that Christ, as I got to know HIM in the Word and prayer, wants me to be very different than the system, also TF (which happens to be more fleshly/carnal and earthly than good/healthy for any spiritual growth ), many many churches and then even much different than my false concepts I used as hangovers from the past...all in all I learn about the dreadfulness of performing the works of the flesh...sowing on it...like mentioned in Galatians 5:19 onward and many related passages in other epistles.

TF doesn't come near to beginning to understand the severity of that all...those who do such things won't inherit the kingdom of God!!!!!!! it says there and in other parts...that's a shocker for those used to OSAS...once saved always saved...I still beliee that He that has begun a good work in us will also complete it...however I think repentance (rethinking) is much a needed attitude for me...resulting in good fruits (works)... I am preaching to myself here openly, something that is also currently of big importance to me...as I see myself on the hotspot...however, like I said, I can't see, that TF even begins to understand their deeprooted "carnal" problem...leading to carnality, works of the flesh.A dialogue would for me only make sense, if they really wanted to make a U-turn...something they always/we always talked about.Tithing is another thing they never understood, apparently not even exers...I think it was Matt of IRFers beware who posted something along the line on journeys more recently

Whether they see me as horrible person or not is not really of my concern...I don't believe in their pyramidical
structure here on earth...whatever it will be in the afterlife..let's see, but I don't think they are the greatest, because I don't see them serving me or the little people...meaning the teens etc.

I am not sure, whether I hold any grudge against any of them or that I did at any time, for: any mistakes/sins I made them...I lived in fornication, believing in "loose affairs"...in that I was not different from a systemite.So what if the husbands allowed the wifesharing...may be it's pardoned a bit more...but I prefer to cling to what Jesus and Paul said...

Frankly, I believe it's a free love sect (for members)...with some Christian varnish and at the core people are not really willing to drop any of that...so why discuss and with what goal???Sure, the letter sounds a bit better, but the improvement is a far cry from what is really needed would TF really wanted to
get on the right track.I understand them to really a big degree.The 1968er generation had some good points, right pleas...some liberation was needed, as a result they went overboard...so TF is really a "brainchild" of that time.Lots of love and sharing sounds appealing to heart and ear...but the way TF does it leads to works of the flesh, the NT warns about.I made the choice: I prefer AT & NT and leave TF and their pubs behind.

If I have/had time enough, I would help in pointing out the scriptural errors they made...however the past shows, that more the little people defect and at the top they resent the changes.

I am wondering if I really fathered a certain Katrina and what she went through in TF...that is really of big personal concern and that's why I am also looking forward to more changes for TF....unless she has left in the meantime.
