I wasn't scum when I went in. I don't THINK I was scum when I left. I'll ask some folks if they think I'm scum now.......

And Excie - you never were and never could be scum.......MMMWWAHHHHH

Way Corps scum? That's a new one. I guess then, I was both Way Corps scum, and Bookstore scum-- that is, according to Auntie Em. There are very few of us around here with that monniker... so I guess that makes Sunesis and I still rather elite...

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh: :P :lol: :beer::dance:

I wanted to go Corps so I could TELL people to go witnessing and tell them HOW to do it, but not have to do one whit of the b.s. selling myself. :biglaugh:

But the thought of jumping out of my career for two to four years didn't sit very well with me. I also knew I'd get kicked out rather quickly for being obstinate and disobedient. .... Hmmmmm.... maybe I should have gone corps. <_<

I'm with Ex... I joined for good reasons.

Was I scum? Not when I went in; just weak.

Was I scum? When I came out; yes probably... definately was part of carrying things out I deeply regret to this day.

Am I still scum? I sure try not to be. I've apologized to folks, given them my friendship, my kindness, my business, my genuine interest. I try to "do good" whenever it is within my power and be of benefit as much as I can, and feel that I do far more good today than I ever did as a corpse, for sure!!

scum? that's pretty harsh, innit?

scum Slang. One, such as a person or an element of society, that is regarded as despicable or worthless.

most of the corps i knew--myself included--were good people with good hearts and good intentions. a few--mostly those in big positions--were a**holes. VERY few were what i would call scum.

maybe you knew different folks than i did. or maybe you're referring more to the latter-day corps, the ones i've only read about on GSC!

Catcup - LOL! It was an honor to serve with you as one of the "scum of the crik" elite in Auntie Em's dysfunctional bookstore that year.

As being WC scum, well, I know you sure weren't. You and KL kept my sanity together that year. I have often wondered if that wasn't our sign to walk, then and there - I know I almost did.

My theme song for that year is Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" - everytime I heard that, I'd think, I'm still here you M**F***er (meaning Aunti Em). They used to play it alot at H.Q. that summer. Even now when I hear it on the radio, that's the first thought I think, it takes me back.

As for WC being scum - yes, some truly were and are, but the vast majority were just young kids who wanted to learn to be their best for God.

During my time in twi, I tried hard to become scum...

The Way Tree progression of achievments: (1 being the start and 10 being the highest achievment)

1-gullible

2-spit sucker

3- pup tent dweller

4-egomaniac

5-bottom feeder

6-foot biter

7-koolaid drinker

8-mildew

9-scum

10-motorcoach dweller

...I'm afraid that I never got any higher than bottom feeder... :(

I never considered myself as scum....but there were times I was an axxhole.

I was usually so busy making fun of stupid things and side stepping the rules that I had little time to consider myself an axxhole.

But, I think in looking back, I think I was an axxhole because I always had an agenda. In fact, I am now at a place for the first time in my life (50 yrs old) where I don't have an agenda. I have started a partnership with a security venture that is not targeted to individuals, but companies.

For the first time in my life, I can go to a Wal Mart or mall without looking for someone to join my team. It feels odd.

Same here, dear! If it hadn't been for our little lunches and workouts together, I'd have really lost my mind. And yes, I do believe we missed our cue... we shoulda walked back then.

After I confronted Auntie Em, Donna, and Bill Winegarner, my theme song was "Every Breath You Take."

Still is... :spy:
