I'm your icecream man, witness to me when I'm passin' by...
Hey JT.
I think it is the same as it ever was, just now with less flavor....or "flava" if you prefer. I think our old area is still craptastic, but now with more young folk.

Lindy, my man,
Any growth at all?
For anyone,
Is TWI growing at all? Or is it still in the long term decline I remember?
How do they justify shrinking (shrivled) "membership"? Seriously. What is the company line as it pertains to attendance? Where's the outreach? If I were an innie , that would leave me scracthing my head. I left in 87 for a host of reasons. But if I hadn't I like to think I would leave now simply because there's nothing about it that says "abundant life" or outreach, growth, etc. What ever happened to each one reach one? How do they explain it to the remaining sheep?
I recently had a visit from innie family, and they acted like normal people. We didn't pray before eating, I didn't notice any bible reading before breakfast, there were no attempts to witness to the wait staff when we went to restaurants, and none of the nonsense of TWI came up at all. Hopefully they are leaving TWI.
Since TWI distorts, hides and otherwise avoids providing numbers, we're left to guess at how small they've become. We still get new folks here at the cafe who have recently escaped and we know that participation in WD and new WC recruits are extremely low.
They've moved WC training to NK and now Gunnison is nothing more than a "retreat" where TWIts are encouraged to visit for "camp". There's a thread on that someplace around here and I'm sure someone can find it for us.
They're trying new dance moves to entertain the youngsters, but it's really just a pitiful example of how behind the times they actually are.
As for the cafe..... we're still serving up good stuff! Could I bring you a root beer float?

"Boring"is the word. We left a few years back.
The SNS teachings are scripted, the classes are scripted. Way Productions are about as exciting as watching "Yanni".
I've seen more excitement in a commercial for buying a funeral plot.

Seriously? How did they come up with that? Or was it just announced and accepted as HexCathedra? ;)

vpw implied it and never said so outright.
Prevarication- suggesting something while maintaining plausible deniability because
"I never said that"
has a longstanding tradition in twi, and is still popular among vpw's apologists.

Well, I think he's got an appropriate name. Yawny, sleepy, snorey, - could be a good "new age" group, huh?
I do think that anything Wayflavored would HAVE to be worse though...

They're sheep, they don't need any explaination.

Welcome back, JT!
Since TWI distorts, hides and otherwise avoids providing numbers, we're left to guess at how small they've become. We still get new folks here at the cafe who have recently escaped and we know that participation in WD and new WC recruits are extremely low.
They've moved WC training to NK and now Gunnison is nothing more than a "retreat" where TWIts are encouraged to visit for "camp". There's a thread on that someplace around here and I'm sure someone can find it for us.
