Just wondering, I read were a man had to put his Dove Pin's head, toward his WOW Pin; it just seem's that the way has a cross, with that kind of behavior? What are you thoughts on this dove pin of the way?

Yes, there were very specific rules that regulated "the proper manner of display" for the dove pin.

What does one have to do to earn one?

If I could buy one, would they get mad if I wore it on my hat, would their be a class like thing, they would take my money for their cross dove, but think I was not worthy? I do not know about this dove pin, I seen it, but after reading what that man went through, that is kinda crazy, to put someone through that, over a cross dove pin?

I wonder if their is a dove pin on that statue of VeePee; I guess some people have to set an example with their dove pins, and others are allowed to have hat pins of the great dove pin of the way?

I guess it would be easier to put a dove pin on, then hang one of those little VeePee heads around your neck?

You got the silver one at the bookstore . . . Had to put a folded paper on the pin to keep it from spinning . . . Else yer out of order . . . And indecent I guess.

Got the gold one for going way D . . . The pin was now strategically located in the tail so it always pointed at the heart . . . Easier to be more spurtual with the right bling.

We sold ours (cash for gold!!) and got about $25.00. Funny thing is the girl behind the counter asked if we were involved in twi! Weird... Even weirder? Turns out my dad witnessed to her 20 or so years ago and she went to twig for a year or two until they told her she was possessed and kicked her out.

Even stranger? We are in a completely different part of the country from where this happened.

Kenyon Hall at the Emporia campus had a big lighted dove up high. They put that up shortly after they took the cross off of the chapel. Yeah, you're right, the dove was just a replacement for a cross. You didn't have to be a certain status to get a dove pin. Just buy one.

If you weren't in the Corps you probably didn't get so harshly scolded for not having it point to your heart. Someone would say something, though. Fellow Laborers probably got "busted" over it though.

Wow, those gold dove pins were not gold plated, that is crazy about that person your dad talked too, it is cool how our Father works.

They replaced a cross with a dove, that is wild, thanks.

The O keep em on their toe's trick, I saw a corp film thing, where Martindale was getting on this guy for missing a blade of grass, have you ever got that kind of treatment?

Yes---It sucks.

One particular time, we were locked in the BRC for a Momentus type weekend. I made the ghastly mistake of using the phrase, "I guess-----". Got my arse publicly reamed, six ways til Sunday.------"We don't GUESS, we KNOW!!!!!!"

It was used as a way to control you and keep you in a subordinate position.... not too unlike barracks inspections in the Army.

I don't even think they did that crap in the army. Not the way TWI did anyway. TWI wished they could be like the military. VP was never in the military but he was always comparing the Corp to the military. We didn't get inspected on how we folded our undershorts, but our bureau drawers had to be in order.

Middle of the night, white glove inspections.

I suppose the severity of it might have varied according to the "house" you were in.

Then again, I think inspections were done by F.L. coordiators. Too many years ago to remember all the details.

OH! That is so ridiculous! Geesh! How is that supposed to draw you closer to God? How is that supposed to develop in you a "heart for leadership"? Don't you wish you would have thought to booby trap the drawer somehow? Like put a fart balloon in there, or something gooey and then just look embarrassed when the inspector jumped back surprised?

Underwear drawer inspections, how ludicrous!

My brothers used to hide porn in the underwear drawer... I wonder how the coordinators would have liked that? Probably fine as long as it was decent and in order and stacked appropriately by date.
