This statement and mindset, and other similar ones I've heard (i.e. - "We're going to run on the rails that brought us here") is interesting. Of course it is never questioned as not being the "wisdom from God", "over 100 years of collective wisdom", garbage that you hear from the BOD and lackeys. Now if you would hear statements like this from top executive officers in the business realm, they would be immediately fired and replaced. Why? Because it indicates both a complete lack of strategic vision as well as a very high level of comfortability and laziness. It indicates they really don't WANT to work. They are NOT INTERESTED in improving, in changing, in adapting needs of their organization to a rapidly changing world. No, rather they are COMFORTABLE just setting up a bunch of little rules and controlling approval levels, SPINNING IN PLACE and doing basically NOTHING while living off the capital earned in a previous era. It is a very pathetic stance, no matter how much they try and dress it up and cover with pompous little looks down the nose as if from someone important. Let's review the progress in different areas: 1) Publications - what new works have been published? None. What were the last? Mrs. VPW's historical account, and new bindings and editions of the Studies in Abundant Living. Many of those chapters were transcribed from one of VP's Sunday Service teachings. No new vision, no new projects, etc. Magazine articles picked over extensively for consistency with foundational teachings. Artciles read "vanilla", with little substance. 2) Teachings - Devolved from a few to many teachers. Devolved from inspired teachings with latitude to script reading. Highly controlled. Content low quality in helpfulness, scholarly content, devoid of any personality. 3) Productions / Music - Talent squelched. Made fun of on "The Soup" comedy TV show. In general the production quality follows the teaching - devolved. 4) Building / Property - selling off property. All in conjunction with dropping numbers. 5) Classes - all classes that have been produced are replacements for existing ones. Nothing new. Replace the faces on the video as they are no longer standing. Make content non-controversial. 6) Programs - numbers decline in Way Disciple, Corps. No new programs to introduce excitement, rally behind. Same old status quo. 7) Home Fellowships - low numbers, high control of people. Nothing new on that front, numbers dropping. Of course antics by Rosie such as putting large portions of states on probation for knowing about Hirschfeld and investments don't really inspire growth action to say the least. Any way you slice it, the organization is dying strategically. The "re-education" SHOULD happen for those that have no strategic vision, those AT HQ. Indoctrination of bringing Corps in to live and work at minimum wage for a few years "to see how they do things" is a waste of life and talent and an exercise in using people's lives to promulgate the BOD's arrogance. Re-education????!!!!! Those people running the organization have NO EDUCATION in the first place to do what they are doing. If they did they perhaps would not be in these conundrums, although that is no guarantee. At least Donald W with a PhD and some experience as a principal could run a shambles of a college program to incite interest. They are as Jesus described "the blind leading the blind".
