When HQ is gone.

Have you ever driven down a rural road and thought to yourself, "Ten years from now there'll probably be a set of golden arches right there where that stately old oak tree now stands."?

So, what do you think will become of HQ? Maybe the fountain will serve as a kiddie wading pool? Wishing fountain? Pay to fish? Do-it-yourself flea dip for fido?

What about the auditorium? Saturday morning flea market? Party-barn/bowling alley? Arena for big-time wrestling matches? IMAX theater for adult movie productions?

maybe a new automobile plant(Saturn, Ford, GM) or an industrial bussiness park, or a new Shopping Mall of North America, you know something constructive and would help the local economy.

In the real world (the one that doesn't go away once you quit believing in it) I think the most likely thing to happen with WayWorld HQ is for it to be sold to some corporation for it's headquarters.

The graves and ash-spreading areas will likely have to be dealt with (relocated?) somehow, and I have no clue what the hell one could do with the auditorium besides a salvage/demolition treatment. Maybe a radical remodel could turn it into something useful, but it seems like it would be easier to delete the whole mess and start over (or just turn it back into cornfield).

Once the current corporate heads die off, I'm betting something like that will happen. I mean, who the hell would wanna take over the piddling, twisted remains NOW?

They certainly don't need a facility like that...not anymore.

Wierwille's been dead for 25 years now...The only thing that remains are the assets...

and there's millions! They should sell their property in Ohio to whoever offers the best price...

and run away with their money to Colorado...There are no more rock of ages...no more

crowds...no more followers...except a few suckers.

...Their "International outreach" is now a small mailing list...A personality cult without a personality...cannot exist for very long. They have no evangelical mission...and they know it!

They only keep the trains running on time in order to maintain their lifestyle.

On the other hand, it might just be a bad habit they've developed..

:biglaugh:

They should set up a hospitality center... with a Stress Patrol that would frisk all the visitors before they got to the Welcome Window,and turn them away because they weren't on the standing list.

I thought they already did just that..

:biglaugh:

maybe deed the auditorium to Shelby and Auglaize counties as a performance center with art musuem, just jack hammer off Wierwille's name.

Will they have an open jam night?

That's the only way I'd ever consider returning.

:P

Open jam night?...For sure!

First we level the floor and put a long bar on each side...then fill the middle with tables.

Serve wings and other finger foods for free and charge out the butt for the booze.

Oh, I'm sure that the "hundred plus collective years of wisdom on the Board of Directors of TWI" will "ensure that the Word lives on to future generations".

Barf.

First of all, lesbians don't have "future generations". So Rosie and Donna, you'll have to adopt from a 3rd world country, because all of your natural offspring happened to be too smart to buy into your BS. Can't you picture it now? Little Ghandhi Jr, with glasses and bug eyes and two mommies?

Next, the thriving economy surrounding "New Knoxville" OH just doesn't have anything that could support buying that up. Sure the warehouse could always be converted into something more useful than offices for turds, but the auditorium is useless that far out. Unless they could convert it to a concert venue or something.

No, they'll carry on and make more stupid rules, and deceive the simple for longer. Eventually people will die of boredom and leave.

Will we have to sing "Roll Away" at closing time?? beer.gifdrink.gifdance.gif

We wont have to sing it----we'll just have to do it.

(Roll away, that is)

BTW----Thursday nights will be Bluegrass open mic nights. Pickers of all shapes and sizes "always welcome at The Way" (Bluegrass open mic night).

Probably ought to do a night or 3 for the head bangers, too. Not a pre-determined night, though. Wouldn't be in the spirit of thrashing and bashing. Maybe even combine a few things. Like a Blue grass mosh pit.
