Pffft - Congrats to the 7 newly graduated way corps of the class of 2010

[OldSkool]

My only question to the board of dummies, who cannot figure out how to improve numbers in anything, i.e - advanced class students, staff at HQ or gunnison, way disciple, way corps. They can't fill the PWA to save their lives because the service is SO bad. Way ragazine subscriptions have to be down as well. Oh and how about all those new foundational classes. I know how hard it is for the field corps to put together foundational classes, so those numbers have to be down as well. But I digress. Back to my question to the board of dummies.

Did you actually graduate more way corps than you lost in the past year?

Not to worry, I won't wait for an answer but I can rest in the likely hood that Rosie will probably get to read this when she gets here printouts from WAYGB.

7 - ROFL! It won't take long for the euphoria to wear off, or for all the "gassing up" during graduation to burn off. You know, where they are told how spayshul they are and how the adversary does this and that and all about the lifetime commitment.

But really, graduating 7 way corps speaks for itself. the way international used to graduate hundreds each year. Down to 7 now. I wonder of the 7 how many were married couples. Could be 3 couples and one single? Anyone know?

Does TWI have 7 twigs for them to take over?

Whoa! Imagine that 7 corps in the class of 2010 taking over 7 fellowships. That would be spiritual perfection ESTABLISHED!

In case I haven't said so....WELCOME NomoreCults!

7 What a joke. I can remember 7+ from our area going in the corp in one year.

There is no way to put a spin on this number. The past 15 yrs have been worn out

with the faithful. Small in numbers but the best of the best. These 7 are not faithful

they are stupid. This is like buying something and thinking you got a great deal. You tell

everyone how great it is and you are so excited. Then in the paper you see it on sale and

find out you paid way to much.

These 7 will have buyers remorse and be beating their heads against a wall in 1-2 months when,

1. They hate there new assigment working on staff.

2. They get back on the field only to find themselves in a fellowship that is dead and stale. No

new people for the last 10 years. People afraid of leadership.

3. Lots of pressure to put together a class together that no one wants to take,even the grads.

4. Feeling the pressure to find a real job while having to have nights, weekends and 3+ weeks of vacation

to make all the functions.

The ship is sinking..

Rosie will probably get to read this when she gets here printouts from WAYGB.

OMG...RU kidding me? Rosalez gets printouts from the WayGB? Still hates computers, does she? Hates the Internet? That's kinda like hating a car and preferring a horse. Hating electricity and preferring candles. Hating email and preferring snail mail. (Oh wait...she hates email too. Makes people rush and work too fast.)

Sorry for the rant.

Hi Rosalez! Hope you're having a very powerful and controlling day in your little cornfield that you control. Just know that you really don't control the world.

[Watered Garden]

Any way to know names of new graduates? Probably kids of kids of people I knew...

Could be 3 couples and one single? Anyone know?

Could be 3 couples with a kid; could be a couple with 5 kids; could be 2 couples with one having 2 kids and the other having one; or 7 singles. You see? The possibilities with TWI are endless! One thing we do know, there is no way this is an inflated number.

could be a racecar, top hat, dog, iron, a shoe, a boat, and a thimble.

Long gone are the days when 325 corps graduated per year from Emporia and an additional 125 or more from the Indiana Campus. What gives, Rosalie? Are you micro-managing the whole thing to a slow death? In corporate USA.....you, Rosalie, are a flunky.

From a corporate standpoint....

1) What is the overall cost to keep the corps program?

2) What is the performance of the salaried corps coordinators and personnel?

3) What is the cost per student ratio in this training per year?

4) Is the corps program a wise use of abundant sharing monies?

5) Not fashion or renown, not wealthy patronage and rich ($54 million) estate can crown the way corps with light and make it truly great.......revision of adapted corps poem

[Kevlar2000]

Weren't there more graduates of the first way corps (not counting the original "zero" corps)?

[skyrider]

Weren't there more graduates of the first way corps (not counting the original "zero" corps)?

Yes......9 corps graduated in the First Way Corps Program.

NO SURPRISE......twi's culture of corruption and exploitation has been totally exposed. How many of the 3,000 corps grads would actually promote such a scenario to their kids in today's twi? Remember Howard Allen's warning of TRESPASSING AND LEGAL ACTION to Bo Reah@rd when the First Corps Reunion was celebrating their 25th year in Ohio and wanted to swing by headquarters?

And,.....remember wierwille's promises to the corps household concerning the Corps Chalet? Whenever corps were passing thru Ohio...they could spend the night in one of those corps-tels and eat in the lunchroom and hang out for a day or two? Yeah, riiiiight. After wierwille spent a couple of months in the Corps Chalet, he and mrs. moved back to his house by the fountain. The promise died......wierwille lied.

Maybe they could change their name. Since they consider the handful of people left a faithful remnant. And the are Victor Paul's keeds.

Rivembark would be fired by Donald Trump for such incompetence, and Martindale would have been smacked and booted out by Gordon Ramsey.

Their theme song:

Lyrics:

Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A.M.!

Move y'self to go again

Cold water in the face

Brings you back to this awful place

Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too

Must get up an' learn those rules

Weather man and the crazy chief

One says sun and one says sleet

A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too

Churning out that boogaloo

Gets you up and gets you out

But how long can you keep it up?

Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony

So cheap and real phony

Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents

English pounds and Eskimo pence

You lot! What?

Don't stop! Give it all you got!

You lot! What?

Don't stop! Yeah!

Working for a rise, better my station

Take my baby to sophistication

She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice

Better work hard - I seen the price

Never mind that it's time for the bus

We got to work - an' you're one of us

Clocks go slow in a place of work

Minutes drag and the hours jerk

"When can I tell 'em wot I do?

In a second, maaan...oright Chuck!"

Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss

It's our profit, it's his loss

But anyway THE lunch bells ring

Take one hour and do your thanng!

Cheeesboiger!

What do we have for entertainment?

Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement

Now the news - snap to attention!

The lunar landing of the dentist convention

Italian mobster shoots a lobster

Seafood restaurant gets out of hand

A car in the fridge

Or a fridge in the car?

Like cowboys do - in T.V. land

You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?

So get back to work an' sweat some more

The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door

It's no good for man to work in cages

Hits the town, he drinks his wages

You're frettin', you're sweatin'

But did you notice you ain't gettin'?

Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

To take your car outta that gear

Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

To get your car outta that gear

Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels

Came to the checkout at the 7-11

Marx was skint - but he had sense

Engels lent him the necessary pence

What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!!

Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi

Went to the park to check on the game

But they was murdered by the other team

Who went on to win 50-nil

You can be true, you can be false

You be given the same reward

Socrates and Milhous Nixon

Both went the same way - through the kitchen

Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin

Who's more famous to the billion millions?

News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie

Oooohh...bub-bye

Magnificent seven

Magnificence!!

I thought about that video, but the quality of the orchestra in that video is way too high to be anything remotely associated with TWI.

are you .... trying .... to say .... that the Clash ..... is NOT ..... spiritual perfection?

well, they are beautiful in MY eyes.

Soooo.. what does da graduation actually entitle them to? One more worthless piece of paper? Or do they even hand those out anymore?

Just curious..

I know.. entitled to da "worthiness" of cleaning da vey's urinals? i.e. staff jobs?

What is the whole reason given to these suckers to go through it? Just seems the same line would work only so long.. have they figured out something "original" to promise?

Nope. Just good people suckered blindly into a bad deal.

[Ham]

I mean.. if way corpse "training" enable them to do some kind of staff job..

now rosie hates computers, technology.. I've looked a couple of the guys up they ran off who did technology for them..

interesting they are hams as I..

or were.

so what are the staff jobs?

Maybe they are sent to recruit computer science specialists to take their class, do their program, and clean rosie's toilet.. who knows..

Nope. Just good people suckered blindly into a bad deal.

exactly what I was thinking. I know one fella that threw away a promising career in electronics repair or even more to go to their coveted "training"..

I'd like to interview the seven. I'd be nice..

I can't remember his name. He was in R*@$@$D and B*#$&*@a O#*@%^'s branch. sold a thriving business for peanuts... went into the program. Are you here? I'd like to know how it all turned out..

This was in the nineties. And I know promises were and are more easily broken than then..

what is it they offer these people?

just wonder..

I was never corpse. Just trying to understand..

I shouldn't be so rude. The Seven passed da test.. gawd bless you.. lets see you walk on water..

*all hail the Magnificent Seven..*

:)

Honestly, I hope you get what you went through this nonsense for..

as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else..

[waysider]

what is it they offer these people?

just wonder..

Probably the same thing they offered us, a chance to be a part of something that was bigger than us. (Too bad they couldn't/can't deliver the goods.)

Edited July 28, 2010 by waysider

[Ham]

Yep.. too bad. In a weird way.. nothing is *bigger* than *you*..

If one can perceive or visualize an infinite or inconceivable god to begin with..

I mean..

even from an atheists point of view..

their god covers nothing.. which is quite a bit..

So I tip my hat, and another glass of cabernet, to the magnificent seven..

:)

I hope one of them, or more, comes witnessing at my chamber door..

[Ham]

rosie.. you could give them my address. I'm sure linder's replacement could even provide the phone number. If not, PM me..
