One poster mentioned a discussion 2 years before the ANNOUNCED split about plans for a split. For us regulars, this really comes as no shock. The whole "we don't know where this will go" thing was mere posturing. They were already out the door when they made their first announcement and broadcast and stuff.

Regarding cognitive dissonance - while in the process of extricating myself from TWI in 1988, I experienced a strange process going on in my mind. I was starting to think original thoughts - thoughts that were contrary to my TWI programmed thoughts. Sometimes I would hear Craig yelling against my thoughts, yelling things I had heard at mealtimes in residence. So I did the thing with the line down the middle of the page. Left side - my thought, right side - TWI rebuttal. Back and forth, back and forth. Like having two brains. As time went by, my own thoughts predominated and the yelling rebuttals receded. Many years later, my brain belongs to me. And TWI is a distant far off strange thing I was in....... the farther back in time it gets, the stranger it seems.

That's funny. I sent those posts to them anonymously, so I won't be marked and avoided. I'm kidding, of course. I have two very good reasons for doing that, but I am unwilling to share what those are. But now, after receiving no response at all regarding the issues raised about them, I'm getting a sour taste in my mouth. On top of that, I was reading through the "Revival and Restoration" section a couple days ago, from the beginning of it, and I was actually stunned to find they already had their domain name registered when they did that first live broadcast on facebook, saying they wanted to revive and restore TWI and they didn't know yet what they would be doing in the future. This added some additional sourness.

George, that was a long time ago but that is it pretty much it in a nutshell!
