Trust in the Individual

The following quote got me to thinking about the demise of twi.

"There is no rational reason why a small republican experiment in 1776 grew to dominate global culture and society -- except that America is the only nation, past or present, that put trust in the individual rather than in the state and its elite bureaucracy. Such confidence in the average free citizen made America absolutely exceptional -- something we should remember more than ever on this Fourth of July."

1) The elitism in Wierwille's twi suppressed and oppressed?

2) The twi bureaucracy overshadowed any trust in the individual?

3) "Spiritual freedom" in twi........was NO LONGER freedom.

4) And.....circling the drain twi went. :anim-smile:

We weren't supposed to be individuals. We were supposed to be likeminded. And, if some person or idea tempted us to express our individuality, we were supposed to "STAND!", which is Way-talk for renouncing our critical thinking skills.

Except for pfal.....when did wierwille ever bring up MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR?

What's the point of this scripture? Isn't everyone UNIQUELY PLACED in the body of Christ?

That's why all the tree-jargon......twig, branch, limb, trunk.......was BOGUS.

The Way logo is scripturally-bogus. The way homes were monitoring centers.

The Way was, and is, womb to groom to tomb..........slug-thru-life socialism.

Get a hold of yourself, man!

Surely, there must be a retemory that will help you defeat this fit of rationale. I'm putting you on my lift-list, even as I type. I'm believing for you. Stay en garde.

Lo Shanta La Maka See Tay....

TWI did send people out as wows. That move put a LOT of trust in the individuals. Plenty of room for God to work. TWIs most productive years were when the most wows were out there. So LCM cancels the wow program because of "homo infestation". Good thing VP didn't cancel the original wow year because of drugs and hippies, huh?

What did they stand to lose? They had a sales staff that went where they were told to go, did what they were told to do and worked for 0% commission. That's not trust, that's exploitation.
