I feel like i must have lived a very sheltered life in the ministry as well. I consider my year at Emporia the best year of my life because of the love I was shown by the college division students and way corp members. I made so many good memories and people I still consider friends even though I haven't seen them in many years. Thinking back on some of the teachings and the very strict militant rules at the college I can now see a certain level of control and manipulation but there were also many lessons that had a very positive impact on my life. While at the college I had IMMENSE respect for JAL. Whenever he taught I felt like he was talking directly to me. He had a way of cutting to the core of a matter in a humorous, engaging and thought provoking way and for some reason he had a huge impact on me. Of course I was only 18 and missed a lot of what was happening at the college, especially with the way corp. I do know I was totally disgusted with the decision to put LCM in charge. I never liked him and had absolutely no respect for him even at my young age. His energy BAD. I always felt JAL would have been a much better choice. Having said that I have no clue how clean or dirty his hands were with regards to the rampant corruption within the ministry.

Was anyone at the Way College of Emporia in 81 to 82? I was in the College Division that year. Just wanting to talk to others who were there at the same time. I'm no longer involved with twi but I want to reconnect with those who were at the WCOE at the same time.
