Yep. And they are ravining over it like a pack of jackals. Maneuvering, positioning.. moneyhands would surely like to have his hands more directly on the money, I'm sure..
why work, or plan, or REALLY do anything when you can just bleed off a little year by year from the mother lode..
It can't be that pleasant of an existence though. Seems one must always show that they are worthy of the position, and there are what.. a few hundred others who would gladly take their place.. always maneuvering, positioning themselves for the kill..
What's rosie done to justify her geat salary?
"donna, call the lawyers. There's a little group that calls themselves "the vey".."
The next pres, they'd save money simply hiring a monkey..
With all of the politics, maneuvering, positioning.. I have one question:

where's the love in all of this?
None whatsoever they are as cold as a chunk of ice in the artic
You make a good point! Hadn't ever thought about it from that perspective ... just further proof "the love of money is the root of much evil" (not "all" ... check some texts if you think I'm blaspheming) ...
Bolshevic, you are correct, Rosey has her own money...but she doesn`t use it to maintain her house...lawn....pool...living expenses...that is all done courtesy of twi paycheck and free labor from the corpes. if I am not mistaken.
I understand that her money was one of the things that helped her up the twi leader as it did so many.
Twi always had a way of targeting the people that would make them look good or more legitimate.
Money heck..I want my youth and lost opportunities of college and career :(
I want the time back that should have been spent with grandparents and friends who have since passed away....the time that I spent instead sanding and painting bed frames at emporia....and picking up garbage in ohio and witnessing and running twigs and running classes bringing new members and more money in.....the time I lost in going wow and such ...leaving family and friends and forsaking college because who needed a worldly family or knowledge???
I want it ALL back...
The hypocracy of removing cop outs books and music because it was unsafe and dangerous........but not of removing themselves from the grounds and buildings that we bought and built ...just chaps my bu tt.

non-corpse staff too.
I was just sayin I heard her money came from free-labor too.
I totally hear you here Rascal. I would love to have back all the years that I spent in twi, but unfortunately it is all gone and I am trying despirately to let it be gone. The best that I can do is try to pick out the good things (a difficult task to be sure), pull out the things that I can learn from (good and bad) and then apply those items that are worthy to my future to make it the best that I can. This is tough for me and harder for others.
When I think of my misspent youth I am reminded of Job. He lost everything and in great quantities. He never got any of it back. He got new stuff in greater abundance. I also remember that Job didn't get replacement stuff (You simply cannot replace one child with another. Once a child is lost they are gone and no matter what we do we cannot replace them.) But Job got new children and new stuff.
I am certain that he lamented the loss of his children and perhaps other things that he lost but he moved on. It is also a great possibility (probability actually) that he was very angry at those that took that which he loved from him and that he wanted revenge. But ultimately that is God's job.
It helps me to remember Job's patience especially when I am struck with a near uncontrolable urge to break someone's nose. I have often swore that if I ever were to meet up with the dirty rotten so and so that did this or that back then, that I would just deck the rat bastard. But alas I would probably get thrown in jail (because some people are just weenies!). Too bad we can't have a "real" weenie roast!
I don't suppose that we can do a class action suit against twi for lost wages or something like that can we?
What did twi do when one of us was declared posessed or m&a??? Well if you were an author, your books were removed from the shelves....if you were a musician ...your tapes pulled from the book store..artists...your work was no longer acceptible in peoples homes.
This one always bothered me. (Well, other stuff bothered me, too, of course.) Even IF someone really HAD gotten possessed, why wold his past work be any less godly? "Sorry, Solomon. We're pulling Proverbs and Ecclesiastes now tht you've married a bunch of pagan wives."
Eyes Open, great perspective, the book of Job is relevant to all those of us who suffered greatly at the hands of the "spiritual leaders". Â
Although a class action suit would get a lot of support, it's probably past the statute of limitations period. Â
I think that this is just one of the many lessons that we can learn from Job. But as your tag line says not everyone is ready to move on yet and in some things some never will. Far be it for me to tell anyone that they have to "move on" or "just count your blessings today". And as Rascal has said many times "It wasn't just us" and that thing alone gives many comfort. We are not alone in our struggle to make sense out of it all and to try and figure out exactly what that means to us now. Job just happens to be someone that I can count as "one of the crew". He didn't have twi but he certainly lost as much as many of us.
I know that the statute of limitations has expired for such a thing as a class action suit for wages, but it does make for an amusing thought. Can you just imagine the look on some faces if we were to win such a suit? Ahhh...the imagination is such a wonderful thing. Mr. Linderman may be consigned to chief manure shoveller.

I literally meant "graveyard" duty. Wasn't that his claim to fame, chasing unwanted pets and "trespassers" out of the cemetary?
Make the old dog get up from behind the desk, and hit the beat..
