SV, you are so right!! There was a big push to run classes, and to have people go WOW. Push, push, push. I thought it was a lot of nonsense, and was busy with College. My TC was lazy, and expected me to do all the work. When I graduated from college in 1983, she didn't even have the decency to send me a card. I have never seen her since I graduated, and hope I never do. What a lazy person she was.

Chock, don't stop!! Nosy minds want to know!!

Where do they make LaffyTaffy? I love that stuff!

Chock, I know you are posting these things to .... me off, but they do!! I know these things happened years ago, but it really makes me angry, that they would try to tell women when they could, and could not have children. Quite frankly, that is between a woman, and her husband. And animals; I love dogs!! I can't have a dog, but if I could, I would. And gifts! I bet that POS Craig never shared his gifts with people who needed them. Chock, it just ticks me off that the BOD did all these things, but other Twiggies couldn't. Why the hell didn't the BOD lead by example??!! It's no wonder why so many of us left; to much BS!!

Chock, whew!! It is a good thing I got out in 1988. I would have been screaming, and bitching if the BOD had a vacation in the Bahamas, and I had to eat HH- that is some nasty sheet!!! Those bast--ds!!! Being a nasty, foul-mouthed bitch, as my oldest brother calls me, I would have voiced my displeasure to everyone, at the top of my lungs!! Why can't they have a meeting right there in Cornfield, Ohio??? They would never have had to kick me out; I would have told them to F-off and left!!!!

I never took the remake of the PFAL Class; was it as boring as VPW's?

Seriously??!! Teaching what???

Control tactic is right!! I am surprised that so many people fell for that sheet. If they had tried to control me, I would left, no question about that.

T-Bone, please honey, that is so funny!! I really thought her book was a waste of time. From what I have read here at the GSC, she left TWI, and is doing other things with her life. Good for her!

He was a POS!! What a loser! He might have felt differently if one of his kids, had been a Special Needs Child!

DWBH, I had no idea that so much garbage went on behind the scenes in Way World. Silly me, I thought we were supposed to act like God-fearing Christians. Some of us did, while others acted like they had never heard of God.

Excuse me, I meant to address my last post to DWBH.

Mod, tell us how you really feel honey!! No seriously, I didn't know all this sheet. No wonder why TWI folded; so many people were doing things so off the Word.

For me yes!

1988-1990 I was in Naples, Italy because Uncle Sam sent me there. I am glad I was out of the country, when a lot of the s--t went down with TWI. ROA 1987 was in my opinion, a horrible Rock. It seemed that it was quiet, and small, and people walked around in a daze. Plus the teachings, and music weren't all that great. That was my last Rock-ever.

GM, you are so right! For me, the fog started to lift after VPW died. Quite frankly, I didn't care; he wasn't my relative. I had no idea of what he was really like until years after he died; what an evil POS. I finally left in 1988, after I had been in for 10 years. Never for one minute, did I miss it.

I lost a lot of weight, took the AC class in Rome City, which I hated. Enlisted in the Navy in August, and started Boot Camp in October, and finished in December. I went to Mississippi in Dec, and had a terrible Christmas. 1985 though for me was a great year; I accomplished so many different things that year.

I would have told them to go F-themselves, and left the field. I can't believe that people would do that s--t to a bunch of young kids trying to do their best for God. No wonder so many people left TWI!

I remember 1978 very well. I moved from Central New York State to VA Beach, VA. I was witnessed to in the Winter of 1978, took the class in May of 1978, did the Intermediate in June/July of the same year. I went out WOW in August to Joliet, IL and had a terrible year. We damn near starved to death; I lost well over 30 pounds. I know our branch did at least 3 classes that year, perhaps more. The winter of 1978-1979 was horrible, even by Chicago standards. To this day I have no idea, how I made it through that year. I couldn't wait to go to the Rock for my pin. The day after I received my pin, my mother and I went back to NY State. I stated college in the fall of 1979, and lived in a Way Home for a year. A year was all I could take of that bulls--t, and left when the year was up. In 1980, I was in college, and enjoying my life; I signed-up two people for the class. They left after a few months; I should of left with them. Well that was my life from 1978-1980.

Rocky, I think you might be right. I think he hurt so many people, that what he sewed, he reaped. I can't think of one nice thing he did for anyone but others may disagree with me.

Digi, good for you!!! I left years ago, and have never looked back!

I remember some of that sheet from the AC; what nonsense!

You mean $$$$???

OS, I am finding that out as I continue to read the GSC. And people wondered why I had no interest in going into the Corps.

Yes, I have read that in various places in the GSC. I went through a great deal of abuse as a child, but I have a great deal of empathy, and compassion for others. If VPW had had a normal childhood, I wonder if he still would have been a POS. I think a kids are shaped by their environment, but I also think some people are missing a critical gene, link, or brain function that makes them into a Psycho. I think the Mental Health field is working on that particular issue, and have yet to come up with a definite answer.
