Moving 'the Word' = Run Classes = Lockstep Loyalty

[skyrider]

When one unveils twi's essence of "the Word".....it had nothing to do with *rightly dividing the word of truth* [iI Tim. 2:15], but rather wierwille's *rightly divided word of truth.* It was a DONE DEAL. Case closed and lock the research department doors!

Wierwille was the "workman" and "his work" stands approved before God......now, followers get in line.

Forget about that twig nonsense of self-governing, self-sustaining and self-propagating. Those marching orders have come for hq on what IT IS to move the word. Run classes! That's it, see. Now, your responsibility is to go out there and knock doors and get classes rolling. Lockstep Loyalty. If A=B, and B=C.....then A=C.

Running classes for profit [enrollment fees + tithe/abs monies ad infinitum] was what thrilled wierwille when he left BG Leonard's class in Calgary, Alberta and went rushing home to Ohio. The light bulbs had gone off.....$$$$$. This thing could be BIG. Forget this church-congregant stuff. This class-based setup has exponential potential. And so, wierwille gets family, friends, and neighbors to enroll in this foundational class. Class after class, vpw stands up front and presents BG's material....tweaking and adding thru the years until he arrives at the juncture of getting this class on film. THEN.....he needs johnnie towns3nds to do the work; be a class instructor. Not The Teacher, mind you. Just a temp job to run the class and collect fees.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Whoa baby! More and more sign-ups and johnnie t. and trusted can't handle the class load. NOW, to get this thing really rolling........we need lots of class instructors. But not just ANY instructors. Twi needs TRUSTED instructors. Those who won't take the material and split out......ahem, like wierwille did. Thus, a program to instill fear and discipline in the ranks. That's the ticket.

Oh,.......and call it a LEADERSHIP program.

Yet, the dirty little secret is that it has no intention of allowing *leaders* to lead with self-dignity. Nope. They will ALWAYS be little more than lockstep loyalists.

Until they unearth the pathetic, generic buzzspeak of twi's "the Word".....they will fall prey to its bait and switch. They will champion their calling to stand on "the Word" all the while NOT REALIZING that they've been enslaved to build another's pyramid.

Indeed.

The twig was never intended to be autonomous. If you look closely at the semantics, you will see that it was structured to be a part of the hierarchy. Here is the definition of a twig, as seen in the Way Tree syllabus. I'm emphasizing the portions that invert what we thought it meant.

"Each Twig is self supporting, self propagating and self governing IN COOPERATION WITH its respective Branch AS each Branch is TO its respective Limb, AS each Limb is TO its respective Trunk, AS each trunk is TO the Root of The Way"

"Each Twig is self supporting, self propagating and self governing IN COOPERATION WITH its respective Branch AS each Branch is TO its respective Limb, AS each Limb is TO its respective Trunk, AS each trunk is TO the Root of The Way"

Yeah....."in cooperation with" = lockstep loyalty.

Remember: just *get them in the class and let the class teach them.*

Which, by the way, gave wierwille more time in his rollicking motorcoach.

Twig --> Branch --> Limb --> Root -----> and the money is pocketed and the behemoth

grows larger every week, every blue-form sent to hq.

How about a BIBLICAL reference to this age of Grace? The One Body.

Finger --> Wrist --> Arm --> Shoulder --> Neck --> Head ----> CHRIST
