My $.02 on the original question without having really digested all the discussion that followed. My parents used to have mad file cabinets full of way stuff growing up. At some point they had this archive of like every letter VPW had written the Corps or something. I just happened upon it poking around these documents. One made an impression on me, but I haven't seen the hard copy since (this is maybe 20 years ago now). It was a letter from VPW to the Way Corps household, and he was apologizing to the whole corps household in really vague terms for letting them down and hurting their hearts. That's about as specific as I remember but it was like a one page letter to the whole corps. Wierd thing is, I've never heard any of the old timers here validate this story - after all this time, I wonder if I imagined it. (Shrug.) As for the current BOD, I have suggested that an apology was in order. John Rupp told me he didn't think it was biblical. Did Paul apologize for going to Jerusalem? Are there any examples of men of god asking for forgiveness of their flock? Just seems like common sense, common decency to me.

To add - this approach, known as "Rant 234", will probably not have the legs to go far, I know that. But the steady tapping of my keyboard keys is so soothing, I have to keep it up, yet a little while, bear with me. What it amounts to in practice is "Nothin'". Doesn't sound like much I know. "What'd you do today to help your neighbor see the Light, brother?" "Nothin'". "Did you knock on everyone's door today on your list and give them the 5 minute "Jesus Loves All Sinners Even You" message?" "No". "How many tickets to the Xtreme RawkRGrrrls For Gawd concert did you sell so far???" "None". See, it's just not going to move a lot of units so yeah. Or no.
