Take-Away Tactics

[skyrider]

On another thread, the topic of AC status was addressed. If one doesn't stay in good standing with their local corps leadership (regular attendance, abs giving, no-debt, strong marriage, etc.).....then they lose their Advanced Class status and cannot attend AS Specials, the only ministry-wide event of the year.

Since twi replaces their classes every 5-8 years......how many more times does one have to jump thru their hoops to stay in good standing???

Sure seems more like "works" not grace to stay in this vicious cycle.

And......what is THE END RESULT..?? No matter how long you stay involved..........there will come a time (if you live long enough) when you will NO LONGER have the strength to keep going. What then?? Well, unless there's a policy change after RFR's watch.....you'll be cast aside and listed unworthy and forgotten on the highway of life.

At the very least, churches don't do that.

As long as you can jump. When you can't jump anymore, they're done with you.

Honestly.. they don't learn anything NEW in these classes. Heard it over twenty times already..

Just one more act of submission to the current alpha she-male, time and time again, to maintain precious status.

One confirmation of "their" position after another.. it's not really about "The Word". I think it's a demand for loyalty, sacrifice.

Great Points, skyrider.

And what about aging--and the health issues that can accompany it? Retirement, limited incomes...will they be there for you when you're old? Or will they abandon you for your 'lack of believing'?

Hint, hint:

They threw out MRS WIERWILLE when that happened-

what makes you think you have more influence than her?
