I've written a book which I feel helps expose some of the fundamental theological flaws that TLWF was rooted in, and helps those who want to pursue a relationship with Jesus know what feelings, experiences, and challenges to experience as they more forward. It can be found here:

Quick question - I feel like I'm missing some information about previous marriages and numbers of children that each of the main leaders had, and might have written something incorrect in my AntiThisWeek because of it. Can someone fill in the blanks (literally) for me? So: JRS was married to __________________ from approximately __________ to _________ and had the following children duri

Finally got brave enough to share my Anti-This-Week <biting nails nervously>, including the Walk Talk Dictionary words I felt were most pertinent. I am sharing it here for anyone who might want to read it.

Lone Wolf - I'm also having a hard time knowing what to think about Shiloh University. I've now heard of/from several TLWF people who said they actually got to know God (in what I'm hoping and presuming was an authentic salvation experience through Jesus Christ) *because* of their studies at Shiloh U. Over the past several years I've spoken with folks who are in the know a

I'm confused. Anyone know where Marilyn is buried? We were just out at Shiloh's new shrine to John (wow - that is QUITE the expansion from the old cemetery) but didn't see Marilyn's grave. Anyone know why?

The Walk Talk Dictionary For the Unindoctrinated, originally intended as merely a footnote or slim addition in the back, is going to end up being longer than the rest of what I wrote! :) As for credit in the booklet - is it ok if I just say, "This dictionary was made possible in large part by the help of anonymous contributors who are all former members of TLWF"?

These are fantastic! @Corboy and @Reepicheep - thanks so much for including definitions. @Onion, @Puddington, and @NavyVet79 - any chance you're feeling inclined to go back and add your own definitions to the ones you suggested?
