If you attended ROA 89, I'd love to chat about that. That was an experience-and-a-half. If you're ok with it, either a separate thread (if you're ok with discussing it publickly) or a private message would work (if you prefer more privacy.) AFAIK, almost nobody at the GSC was there for that-me and Raf and that's about it.

Thank You T-Bone. That cup hit the spot. Never was a WOW myself but was a victim in 88 and left in the corn at the ROC of 89. Ran into GSC by just wondering if TWI was still around. Very interesting reading here, questions answered that I could not get answers to then (It doesn't Edify ya know) Took the all important Class which really left me with more questions ( they didn't seem to like that) May post in a more appropriate thread sometime about that old adventure.

Perhaps the coffers are thinning down so the number of hands reaching into the till needs reduction. Thus, the increase in the effective take for the remaining selected few.

Quote from BlueCord: "Fast forward to right now. I got some news this weekend about some corp being dropped. One couple (the husband had recently been promoted to coordinate the IO department) had been fired shortly after I left HQ. He gets sent to another state. I'm not sure of the details, but this weekend I found out he was dropped from the Corp and has left the ministry. Another good friend of mine who was Corp also got dropped. The reason? He made some comments about feeling unproductive. Now here's the kicker. One of the Vice Presidents of the Way got canned also. We're talking a senior officer. So, I see all this stuff going on, and I've read all the stuff about the years under Martindale (which I didn't go through) and I think to myself "Oh my God. It's happening again". " If I extended my analogy of "death by a thousand cuts"....... I'd say that some of these exits are knife-slashing gashes, not cuts. WOW....someone to coordinate the IO department is Fired. One of the Vice Presidents of Twi is canned. Turbulent times in da vey, again. If corps and staff leadership are leaving, its a sure bet that the "little people" are exiting out the side doors as well. Where did that "kinder and gentler" twi go that rosa-lie was ushering in? Where did the prevailing go? How many states have only two or three home fellowships? What a mess.
