Fire burns at 452 degrees F. No matter what you use to start the fire or use to keep it burning, it still burns at 452 degrees F. So how can we get a bigger, better fire...use wood that has been weathered. As wood sits outside, no matter what the weather (excluding monsoons, cyclones, and hurricanes) wood dries out and allows the water to evaporate naturally, allowing only the wood to be left. This is why it burns better after it has sat outside for a season (at least one cycle of winter and summer).
I think there is something to be said about those of us who have "life experiences" that we can share with others. Sometimes those that are more seasoned, have more to offer. We can learn from them and make our life, our fire, our Theophostic light, burn brighter.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 : There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

As iron sharpens iron...so one man sharpens another.
Way of the Pastor
"Theophostic Prayer Ministry" is Scientology in disguise.
A "TPM facilitator" (Scientology Auditor) leads the seeker (Preclear) through a "session" (same term as in Scientology Auditing) of "guided imagery" and "directed visualization" ("Dianetic reverie", "mockups" and "mental image pictures") towards "mind renewal experience" ("Clear") by dealing with past buried memories that may still be bringing you down today ("Engrams").
They claim that they seek to bring you to self-responisibility (Hubbard's "Self determinism") even as they keep you addicted to more and more "TPM Sessions".
They call each person's session a "case" (just like Scientology) and offer "training", "courses" and "seminars" (just like Scientology) in TPM Facilitating, which is simply Auditing without the E-meter.
