Ahh I see. To warn them of a *false infidel* in their midst, ehh?
Well, two can play at that game, as I have lived in that apartment complex for several years now, and know quite a number of people here. And I can (and will) inform them as to what kind of group TWI is.
So I won't be the only non-friendly here that they will have to deal with. ;)-->
I ran into a local wayfer the other day and by chance I happened to have my greasespot T-shirt on.( No Paw not tie dye one) They just kept staring at it I was waiting for them to say something but they never did. Then again maybe they just had never seen a logo t-shirt that was not green.
The odds of that event must be incredible. I would hope you went to the nearest convenient store with those freshh odds and purchased lotto tickets.
It must have been quite an experience meeting what you were once involved. I imagine you could see straight into their souls.
I dig what exc and Z posted. If that were to ever happen to me, that is what I would do. Of course, it must have been a smile in your mind the proper way to respond such an unanticipated visit, but next time a big ole grinn and upraised eyebrow options of fun available.
Can ya imagine when the manis are called upon and ya volunteer ,"Hey, ya mind if I try that?" and then make the interpretation longer than the tongue. ahahhahahhahahahhhh... oh the fun that could reveal the true nature of TWI.
It is VERY strange to "get witnessed to". Back in '95 or I was at a big festival in downtown Tulsa, arts, crafts, food, "old" musical groups, (Kansas etc.) When I was witnessed to by a wayfer. It was before Waydale / GSC so I was mostly oblivious to all the stuff that had happened.
Still, it was soooooo strange. Stranger still, my brother had been his "twig coord" the year before. That was too wierd for me. I was too shocked to play along... and I had a date with me.... so then we had a very interesting conversation.
Actually, the biggest ex-Way group so far are the ones who have gone to twig from a couple of times to the ones who have taken the PFAL class, and are then shortly after never heard from again. I have seen this countless times in my entire stay with TWI, and prolly far outnumber the total of all those who were more committed beyond that.
Which is one of the reasons I am cynical of the 'strong mind control' diagnosis ((cough)) put forward by Dr. Margaret Singer; her view that you were sucked in against your will into the 'cults'.

how many "COUNTLESS TIMES" can you document Garth,? How many interview of thousands...
please pray tell me what you see
sucked in against ones will, or willfully to be sucked in
Gee Song, I shoulda remembered to take a Gallup poll along with me for each and every time I saw someone fade away soon after they took the class.
"Excuse me sir, but could you tell me whether you took the class because you believed that stuff on the back of the green card, or was it because you just had no choice, and was brainwashed by that funny lookin' Ohio preacher with the skinny tie?"
Chief, I'm just telling you my observances, plus from what I've heard from countle-- oops, you don't like that term. ok, uhh LOTS (there ok?) of those who saw many of those 'new in the Word' leave and never come back.
Geee, did I it a nerve? Did I tread upon holy ground when I mentioned Dr. Singer's (Peace be unto her) Name and her 'mind control' Gospel in such a profane and mocking manner?
I think that people who take the class either see TWItville for what it is or are more susceptible to the propaganda, especially if they are being constantly attended to by people in the twig. I know I was hardly ever alone once I attended my first twig and after I signed up for the class I had a hard time getting any time to myself. It was annoying at first, but I just quit fighting it after a while.

garth, you should have played along
you know, go to a home bible fellowship and start speaking in tongues and interpreting.... or during the teaching keep saying way cliches
it could be a lot of fun
they would think you were inspired or possessed

Garth,
You are much to polite...
I might have had a little fun with them, ask them some questions about policies, history etc...

Well actually, I was in the middle of something important (an online game :D-->), and I just didn't want to be bothered at the time.
So I guess any 'importance' of Way related issues have pretty much faded from view in my life.
Party on!

About twelve years ago I ran into a couple that had been in Austin with TWI.
There are more people out there than you think.
Thankfully most people are ex.
