Would one be considered to be out of fellowship if they didn't follow the recommended schedule for oil change? ...what if I used the evil synthetic oil? Could I take advantage of it's 'extra milage'?

Those staff "teachers" need to get informed themselves.

Why waste their time producing, recording and mailing info that is readily available and more aptly taught by saying.

Go to www.whatever.com to learn all you need to know about ?? these subjects.

In my decades of involvement in TWI I saw that they were awful at dispensing secular information. For example, I remember being encouraged to buy gold as an investment and to shy away from stocks. This was in the late 70's and early 80's for Gods' sake, right before one of the greatest bull markets in history that lasted many years. Just the opposite should have been taught.

In more recent years we were given great pearls of wisdom to get out of all debt and even sell your real estate to become debt free if necessary. This was just before the huge rise in real estate prices. Believers lost millions listening to that advice. Some have never recovered financally.

I think I'll get my house cleaning, car buying, business etiquette and history lessons elsewhere, thank you very much.

..."Making a home cleaning schedule that works for you"

Yeah...I see what you mean. I am in a constant state of emotional turmoil trying to figure out when to vacuum my rug and do the dishes. Sometimes I think that I should do these things in the evening and other times I feel that the morning would be the best time...but I'm never quite sure.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

Belle, I'm glad you put this out there. I saw it in the mag, but just couldn't bring myself to post it after starting the thread about the planning paragraphs from the Corps article.

Maybe some consider this bashing. I consider it a good laugh...sort of like a roast maybe. And I hope that at some point, those still in that decide to leave, can look at this stuff and get a laugh too. Maybe I'm being cynical...but some of these responses are grand. And even though I laugh, at the same time, I feel "pity"...for the folks still in thinking that they have THE inside tips on the RIGHT way to get stuff done.

Groucho we have answers for your constant state of emotional turmoil!!!!!!!!!! rofl again!!!

have all these answers, let's provide the URLs for these topics!

This wonderful Greasespot Cafe is a twi-bashing place.

People have been hurt by that place, and this is a place for those of us who want to vent it out.

twi hurt me and my loved ones, and it is nice to have a place to come and say, "whatapileofcrapthatwas" in as many words as I'd like to use.

Note: The Amish don't live with that element of cruelty that is part and parcel of twi, then and now.

having my say,

[shortfuse]

ShortFuse, does it not strike you as "odd" that they are expecting 50 year old people to be buying tapes on the most basic and fundamental subjects of life? What on earth could they possibly be "sharing" (not teaching) that TWIts haven't already heard, learned or have access to from real live experts?

I suspect there's more to these tapes than just the money making aspect of it:

- it exerts more control over folks because they will be guilted into buying the tapes Nope.

- they will have to listen to the tapes and, most likely, teach on them in fellowship Nope.

- this will take up yet more of their time so that they won't have time to go to the internet, spend time with family, meet up with non TWIt friends, etc. Nope.

It's all about control and power with TWI.

I disagree. There are plenty of examples of undue control and power being exerted, but this is not one of them.

This wonderful Greasespot Cafe is a twi-bashing place.

Bash on! Some of the remarks were pretty damn funny. But over all I think the criticism is petty and exaggerated.

Bowing out,

HegotHope: here's the deal... they just finished inventory at the farm... Roz-a-blu was looking over the spreadsheet and saw that since the subscriptions to the SNS tapes was down that they had a huge overstock of cassette tapes laying around gathering dust (and going bad since they're not in a controlled environment)...

So Roz-a-blu makes an executive decision! (they needed the extra income because her pool had a leak and needed to be redone) We'll put out a tape series on the most inane stuff we can think of and the few that we have left in our fold will feel compelled to buy them... especially if we make it known that "grads" need these.

Hint: that's my key phrase: those still in "will feel compelled to buy them"...

Anyway back to the story: Roz-a-blu tells all within earshot that she doesn't want to see this abundance of tapes on the inventory in the fall and that her pool better be finished in time for next spring...

and there you have it TADA! a new and exciting series of 'abundant living' tapes! get yours now before we raise the price!

it's either that or they still have stock in Radio Shack and want to make sure that cassetter players coninue to sell...

My head is spinning What do I do

Maintaining Reliable Transportation

• mainitaining reliable transportation means that MONEY MUST BE SPENT
  
• IF I spend money on my transportation does that mean the money I spend is part of my need basis?
  
• IF I spend money does that mean I can ABS less or do I have to cut back in another area such as food or utilities to make up the difference?
  

HELP :blink:

"The Way Class" is the approved abbreviation for the Way of Abundance and Powe Class.

Are they no longer required to send in notes to hq about how much it blessed them

after reporting back to the coordinator?

twi is NOT as strict as it used to be...

You guys are going on and on about nothing.

It's just some folks on staff sharing what they know with others - nothing more nothing less.

$4 per tape - Wow what a maniacal money making scheme! Good grief.

The point is: who cares?

If it's just some folks sharing, "nothing more nothing less" then why do they have to sell this type of information? It's because they want them to USE it.

WordWolf, I forgot about this! Thanks!!

I reckon we very well could be seeing more of these exciting topics covered in the upcoming rags.

Here are my favorite site for Making a Home-cleaning Schediule That Works for You:

Fly Lady - This site is "da bomb" on cleaning schedules

Heloise

Strats Place - TWITs probably don't need this one

And my favorite site name:

REAL SIMPLE

Really, between Fly Lady and Heloise you've got it covered. Of course, I like my cleaning schedule best:

When you can write your name in the dust, it's time to break out the Pledge

When you can't find any clean glasses, it's time to wash dishes

When there are no more clean clothes, it's time to do laundry

When there's something on the floor that the dog won't eat, it's time to mop
