Pat, you may be right. "IF" Royal Gorge heard right, TWI may have opened the store to the public to at least give the appearance of trying to generate revenue from its "goods and services". What they do now though will not affect the lawsuits. Too late now.

Guess we will have to click on the "contact us" link to find out. Not that I will, since I can't imagine they are publishing anything worthy of a subscription.
This is not a surprise to me, but I am interested in how you know this. I’ve heard this was in the works a month ago while talking to an innie leader. I’ve been looking on their website since then for news of this but haven’t seen it, though I’ve not checked every page. Maybe they want to be quiet about it, and just start filling orders.
Two weeks ago gladtobeout started a thread of questions we’d like to ask leadership of TWI and the bookstore issue was the first question posed.
Corporations have many reasons for moving so slowly, but I see more such positive moves in the works.
***
The magazine has been available all along. A friend of mine is not an innie, yet gets every issue. I think the SNS tapes have also been available all along.

I think it was my thread on Dr's Last/Lost Teaching being found and his final instructions to master the books that re-opened the bookstore. :D--> I'm not responsible for the sun rising (or not), though.
(This has been a paid advertisement by the Come Back to PFAL Committee.)
Wow, I could replace all that worthless .... I buried in a dumpster last fall? And give those desperate clowns some more of my hard-earned money? What a privilege! I smell desperation and backpedaling in the air...

Funny, Mike! See, you can be a human when you try... ;)-->
They may be phasing out WAP, just very slowly, and eventually come back to PFAL.
Assuming still that it’s factual and the bookstore actually IS open to us all, I don’t look at this as back pedaling, as someone here called it.
I like to think of people in TWI, even leaders, as my family. We all know something went terribly wrong in there and that they need help. Sure most disagree with me as to exactly what went wrong, and thus disagree on the solutions, but we ALL know they are hurting in there.
GreaseSpoters like to think that help is being offered to innies here, so thinking and posting the worse possible scenarios of them in there is no way to entice any innies to receive such offers for help. I will try to think the best, as that’s what agape is all about.
Let’s think through just SOME of the reasons they act slow on fixing things:
During Craig’s reign there were some in TWI’s leadership structure who more enthusiastically supported Craig and all his decisions, and there were some who were less enthusiastic, even harboring grave doubts about him. Now that Craig has been deposed, there is a HUGE tension between these two groups within TWI. In my searches for information I’ve talked to several innies and this tension is very obvious. To keep the peace within the organization, top leadership there must proceed very slowly in distancing themselves from Craig and his policies, but NOT from those leaders still within but who HAD been ardent Craig supporters. The Craigites within are being given some space to change their thinking slowly, and the anti-Craigites are not being given too much “I told you so!†material, too fast.
I think TWI can change for the better. I’m not looking for revenge but for reconcillioation.Those here lusting for blood, and want to see TWI humiliated even more, will never be satisfied with any scenario that plays out as time goes by. But for those of us who were serious about our spirituality back in the good old days, and are still working on agape love, thinking of all innies as family and looking to help heal is the only way to proceed with the True God.
So I think of them as family, in spite of our huge disagreements, just like I think of GreaseSpotter grads as family.
So that's why Donna is still in the chalet! They're moving her out, sending her away, but it's just taking time because the two factions want to move slowly... I get it now!

Hmm... it's not April 1st...
I have to see it to believe it. On the other hand, they don't have anything I would read that I can't buy in a christian bookstore.

Just got back from www.theway.com -- no sign of a bookstore at the site. perhaps I am not spiritual enough to perceive it.

If TWI's bookstore is once again open, it is in response to my counter suit against them.

Royal Gorge,
Where did you hear this?
What about the Way Magazine? Can anyone get a subscription now?

The ONLY POSITIVE thing I see about twi "moving slowly" is that they give me more time to lock them in the cross-hairs. Nuff said.

I doubt that PFAL will ever go back into print and be sold by TWI - not as long as WAP is still around anyway.

So I can get the Way Rag?
Maybe I'll get a subscription to help put me to sleep the nights I have insomnia.

We’ve all seen ONE huge move on TWI’s part to start a peace process with Harve Platig’s letter of recognition that the Grease Spot Café is a valid discussion forum. Then we saw another huge move that Pawtucket made in diplomatically accommodating him, yet not flinching from his position. (Harve might have thought that if Paw allows ME to post, he’d allow TWI to post.) Let’s look at this bookstore news as huge move #3 and celebrate!

As one of the first items, maybe they will offer Schoenheit's paper on adultery.

You can say that again.
If they reopen their bookstore, I would consider that a good thing. It's just honest.
I wouldn't shop there, though. As someone already said, they don't sell anything I want/need that's not available at another Christian bookstore.
