From what I've seen of R&R, which is quite a bit, it's not even along these lines. It's more like they're just stuck in the "I'm the teacher and you're the student" mindset. It's like they are stuck in a trench and instead of digging out they just keep pacing back and forth. Maybe the first couple of laps it's interesting, but then, why? I never felt like they were imposing anything on me, they never demanded any particular actions, they never asked for money, they never tried to rally us to some cause. I was receiving no benefit from listening to them. They just taught their own topics. And continuously injected some obscure principle from VPW, or quoted him, or praised him. It just got so boring. That's why I stopped listening to them. At least here we can select a topic that interests us, or even start our own, and have a discussion with others that are also interested in that topic. And we get to challenge each other, and lead each other to think differently. I couldn't do that with R&R. I know a lot of people think poorly of Joel Osteen, and criticize him. But I've listened to some of his teachings on youtube and they were more relevant to daily life than anything the R&R group has put out up to the last time I listened.

Yeah......many of these splinter leaders elevate the VPW-era because..... Those early years fan the flames of nostalgia......when it was, supposedly, all lollipops and ice cream. No adult responsibilities. Wierwille was the consummate cult leader.......keeping "his" people in the spin-cycle of subservience. Run pfal classes, go WOW, go Corps......run pfal. Repeat. There was no long-term investment or advancing of peoples' lives. Where were teachings/discussions on personal goals, strengths and attributes, personal choice, children, parents & families, each family's heritage, traditions, higher education, careers, grandchildren, retirement, and having one's own fulfillment in this life? Why is it?........that nearly EVERYONE who has left twi has expressed the *need* to REBUILD THEIR LIVES? We were railroaded by the wierwille-system of classes and control. Knowledge was the bait, submission to follow was the hook. Wierwille's cult at headquarters was anti-family, anti-Christian and anti-life. It was a petri dish of subculture. Those who want to re-establish the wierwille-subservience era.....have ulterior motives to lord over others.

Welcome to Grease Spot, Ghosted !!! Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy your visit here. I was in Family Corps 11 and know firsthand how much bondage and stress all that stuff can put on someone – kids as well as adults. Grease Spot is great for encouraging freedom of thought and developing critical thinking skills.
