Why hasn't Loy started his own splinter group?

[GrouchoMarxJr]

Being fired as a twi clergy has traditionally been a springboard into starting your own splinter group. Think of all those swell twi clergy, that went on to start their own thing...There's JAL, JS, MG, VF, DS, DC, BR, JS, CG, and the list goes on and on...

So what's up with Loy? He was full of "fire"...all these other guys went on to fulfill their "ministries", but Loy wimps out like a whipped dog? Works a secular job? Any guesses as to why Loy doesn't start his own splinter group?

[GrouchoMarxJr]

He could call his followers "Loy's boys".

In the words of Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations".

[papajohn]

he's probably under a contract with TWI. something that would stop him from starting another one, and pays well.

I would say shame, but he doesn't have any lol

To start up your own ministry would take some form of intelligence wouldn't it?

Being a self-promoted Stud Muffin isn't all it takes to be a leader these days. :P-->

maybe he thinks the one he got thrown out of is the one true church / ministry

lol

[Tom Strange]

easy one... too many people know he's a farging icehole...

[TheSongRemainsTheSame]

he's retired athlectic ability and should contact Shroyr

[Nomad888]

LCM is a splinter "group" unto himself. :D-->

My 2 cents...

I vote for the "under contract to TWI" answer. If they have any guile and cunning, the lawyers would have had the in place some time ago. If they have ANYTHING going for them, it's aggressive attorneys.

The splinters were mostly started by MOG wannabees, after 20+ years of being THE MOG he may have come to the realization that the job really sucks

[Ham]

Somehow, I don't think he would look very good in tights anymore.

[WordWolf]

Seriously?

A) Towards the end, he wandered around campus,

addled, and confused as to how the women in his life had set him

up as the sole perpetrator of all the sins of the inner circle.

B) He was successfully labelled as the Single Villain. Therefore,

he can't build a base with ex-twi or CURRENT twi.

Supposedly, one man claimed if he had even 7 totally loyal men,

he could start a religion. lcm is short 7 men for even that much.

C) lcm lacks the skills to build himself up as a religious leader

to more than a boy scout troop. lcm was coccooned into twi at an

early age, and only retains the skills he learned thru college

(mostly athletics) and the skills he learned since then

(mostly, how to bark orders and micromanage.) Like a career

politician, he's out of touch with how real people live, how real

Christians think, and what they care about. He'd be a missionary

to a foreign country, whose customs are nearly incomprehensible.

(Unless he's learned humility since then-if he has, he may

understand, but understands he will only harm himself or others if

he takes the big chair.)

D) lcm doesn't have anything to offer people. His understanding

of Scripture is sub-standard among average Christians,

and his manner is abrasive. He can't get converts from people who

just want him to shut up.

[Ham]

And they really did set him up. Arranged the little "excursions". Literally used their sisters for their own ends. Says a lot about the low regard that the now ruling body has for women. Boy, did he take the bait..

Not sure if you were trying to be funny or not but that is a great statement. True through the days of WAP and may still be today.

Ok, ewwwwww....! Desperately trying to picture ANYthing else!

If he did start a splinter group, wouldn't it go against his own view of himself? If he sees himself as the MOG then he should cling to that delusion. Sort of like the deposed king who dies waiting for his country to "call him in it's hour of need."

Uh oh... that's a scary thought.

[Steve!]

Okay, how about Rozilla in tights?

[JustThinking]

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH.... MY EYES!

Ok, Steve!, you win! Bring Craig back!

Looks like he truly did that.

[Ham]

Steve, that may be one of the best things they could do. Rosie could "resurrect" the old AOS production. In said tights, she could frighten off any followers that they have left.

[Belle]

He only knows how to destroy things, not build them.

[J0nny Ling0]

Maybe he is spent. Maybe he is repentant. Maybe he has realized that after having lost his family and his whole "life as he knew it", that maybe he was terribly wrong and that he should just remain as a whipped dog for awhile. Maybe he realizes that he hurt thousands of people really badly, and that he needs forgiveness and that he doesn't even feel worthy of running his own gig. The thing is, none of us know anything really. But this scenario that I suggest is not out of the realm of human possibility. For those of us who are Christians, maybe we should pray for him in the name of Jesus Christ...
