Don't know for sure as I'm not WC or anything, but given that we seemed to get canned answers to questions (especially about the one time affair deal)seems to make sense. So you could say I'm speculating. But consider what one believer making 20,000 yr means to TWI. At 15% , thats $3000. (check my math - I'm an artiste not a scholar) Let's just say this is an average abundant squandering. As the headcount falls, each person to leave means $3000 less. If you worked in retail and lost 2 or 3 customers that spent 3 smackers a year, what would your management say? Its all about money and loyalty.

Leaders (LC's/BC's are considered management.

Grasshopper,

They are not just in CYA mode, they are in PYJ mode (Protect your job). If they trust the wrong peons, I mean believers or if they lose people due to telling them the truth, they (leadership) are out. I know that not all LC's know everything. TWI has simply lied about how 'big that fish was' too many times. IMO they can never recover from this, so they turn it into a spiritual maturity issue, etc.

Did any of you ever feel resentful of "new people"

that still had outside friends and activities (i.e. A LIFE) and then did you get that feeling of exhileration (for lack of a better word) as they slowly started to reject former friends/family/activities as they got more and more involved with the wonderful household?

"I did" he says while mentally kicking himself in the butt.

Great topic.

We were also taught that you cannot learn from your mistakes or failures.

A four year old who touches a hot stove knows better than that.

I think if I had allowed mystelf to learm from my experiences/mistakes during my time in TWI, I would have left 24 years earlier.

Chatty and Cliff,

I'm always glad to hear good news like this.

God bless you.

Seems prophetic now.
