“Summer is a great time for adventure—and if you’re looking for a way to work hard, grow, and still have time to enjoy all that summer has to offer, we’ve got something for you.”
The subtle art of manipulative propaganda: equating a summertime adventure with mowing grass and stringing chairs. The ol’ bait and switch.
This works especially well if one has been conditioned to accept logical fallacies as mathematically exact and scientifically precise. A pillar of the foundational bullshonta is established (twice?) in session one. John 10:10, THEREFORE, there must be keys.
Ummm… nope. That’s not how logic works. This fallacy is known as a non sequitur.
And if you said “mmmph” to this bullshonta, then you could be easily seduced by such promises of adventure.
Ah, they're still appealig to the Way's founder, VPW, using him as their symbol.
If you're new to TWI and want infomation on VPW, get a behind-the-scenes peek at him by reading his letters to the Way Corps during the 1970s and 1980s. They might make you run away from anything having to do with TWI today.
Here's my theory. The person doing the postcard mailing probably got handed a list of old first through fourth Way Corps (among many more later Corps) who were around when VPW trained them himself, and therefore might be inclined to respond to the VP quote on the card (and the photo of Howard Allen), and maybe get their heartstrings pulled back to HQ, letting bygones be bygones. TWI is changed and improved, doncha know.
That person mailing the cards probably found an address on the internet for me and didn't know to connect the dots to who I am today, the author of Undertow! I know there are people at HQ who have read it, so they're not ignorant, just not the ones doing the postcard mailing. LOL.
The clue is they used my former last name, Bishop, from my Way days when I was married to Tim Bishop.
This invite is providing endless laughs for my friends and family...
Amazing! I got my invite today and I am marked and avoid.
It is a mystery how they got my current address as I moved in here over 10 years after being kicked out of TWI?
Did they send my name to remaining twiggers who knew me from the past to get my latest address?

Summer is a great time for adventure—and if you’re looking for a way to work hard, grow, and still have time to enjoy all that summer has to offer, we’ve got something for you.
The Seasonal Work Program is your way to be a part of the team that keeps things running behind the scenes at The Way International Headquarters. This is an opportunity to get involved in various Departments, where you can contribute by cleaning and organizing indoor spaces, assist with painting or maintenance tasks, work outdoors to enhance the appearance of our grounds, or help to prepare delicious meals. It’s a great time to learn new skills, make new friends, and see the direct impact you make on the Word moving over the world.
But it’s not all work—there’s time to recharge, explore, and enjoy your summer too. Whether that’s taking in a beautiful Ohio sunset at a park, grabbing coffee with friends, or just having a little extra time to rest in the shade, you’ll get a balance of work, impact, and adventure.
There are four start dates to choose from:
Monday, May 12, 2025
Monday, June 9, 2025 (Advanced Class)
Monday, July 7, 2025
Monday, July 28, 2025 (Rock of Ages)
There are four departure dates to choose from:
Sunday, June 8, 2025
Sunday, June 29, 2025 (Advanced Class)
Sunday, July 27, 2025
Monday, August 11, 2025 (Rock of Ages)
The Advanced Class in June is a prime time when people can step in and lend a hand. And if you’re headed to the Rock of Ages, some positions even allow you to work while still being a part of the event!
We have openings available in many areas, such as the Bookstore, Computer Services, Day Camp, Grounds, Facility Projects, Facility Support, The Way Café, and The Way Cleaners.
Whether you’d like to come for a few weeks or adventure with us for the whole summer,applications are due by Friday, April 4, 2025. So, if you’re up for a summer of teamwork, purpose, and great memories, the next step is simple: contact your local leadership for an application, and take the first step toward an unforgettable experience.
Now that we know they're hiring out Camp Gunnison for private use as a revenue source, it's not just convenient timing that they're trying to get a free workforce again. They want a new generation of young suckers to volunteer to work for free in Camp Gunnison so they can hire it out and not have to pay the workers any salaries!

All this talk of tailoring reminds me…

Well, well, look what arrived in today's mail. Mmm... some strange mailing list they have these days.
I appreciate being thought of so highly as to warrant an invite like this, but something tells me they wouldn't be happy if I actually showed up.

Charlene, maybe you should go - with a stack of Undertow books.
Your appearance has changed since you left. Wear a big hat and sunglasses. You could get away with it for a few hours. How funny would that be!!!!!
Oh and some earplugs too. You don't want to listen to the BS and the repetitive songs.

Yea it could be word of knowledge, but you would think that discerning of spirits would have told them I was m&a, and not to seek me out!
