skyrider, you're assuming that she is going to willingly step down after her five years are up. That was craig's rule, not hers. It was a different administration (isn't that their favorite line?). It could be an old wineskin to her and thus, her perogative to change the rules.
The new class, however, will generate additional income since they will be charging all 4,000(?) TWIts to take the new class. I wonder if that will stimulate some brain cells in the long timers to decide it just isn't worth paying for boring classes every few years just to maintain your status "in the household".

Belle....actually, I am speculating that by October of 2006.....the 66 year old rivenbark will be ready to step aside and watch from the sidelines. With emeritus status, she will still be favored to chair in those boardroom meetings and carry no spiritual responsibility.
Oh, her burden will be so light......and then, she and donna can travel and shop, shop, shop!!! ;)-->
Now now. Can't accuse the old "gal" of being slothful. Why, at this very moment, she is probably merrily prancing around the cauldron, trying to "conjure" up the greatly anticipated class for the followers to "enjoy". And they WILL "enjoy" it.
skyrider, if she steps down, then she puts herself in position to be treated like Mrs. W and all the other "older" people who have had their hands removed from the vault of dough. Unless, perhaps they are going to put donna on the BOD and Donna moves in with rosie...
Once people like that have tasted power, they don't willingly give it up. She has seen what happened to vee pee pee when he stepped down and what happened to lcm when she got the battlefield promotion. I think she'll fight to stay in power for as long as she can.
Maybe they can't find anybody willing to step up to the plate. If I had to be/look like her, I wouldn't want it either. Cripe, they can keep the money.
I feel sorry for the poor folks left in there, thinking things might get better. Each pres seems to have outdone the previous pres in the category of sin, egotism, and just plain meanness.
Yes, but the two main obstacles are out of the way. VP is dead and LCM is in exile. The current BOD are made up of her lapdogs. There is no one to stop her or tell her what to do.
Therefore, she will stay there just as long as she darn wants to. No one can make her do otherwise. And she will be supported. Can you see Harve disagreeing with anything she wants to do? No way.

Belle......now there you go...giving them some ideas. If donna becomes, say, vprez and stuff, then she can assign rosie as HER "special assistant." Just keep the special status going.
Plus, donna would warrant staying in the corps chalet for another 6-10 years!
No, Donna will never take a public position. She could have but does not want the pressure or responsibility - i.e., having to answer to the peons, er, followers. She likes to stay behind the scenes and "whisper in the King's ear" - a phrase they used to use.
In other words, she wants the power and authority, but does not want to be up front in public - lest she screw up publically, or have to take any responsibility or blame for anything, i.e., she has no cujones to be an upfront leader. She prefers to hide behind others therefore she has to answer to no one and is not accountable to the people. Actually, kind of a cushy job now that I think about it. She's the smartest one of the bunch.
No wonder her and Rosie make a great team - Rosie loves the upfront "glory" and Donna, whispering in her ear, and anyone else's who's in power. Together, they make a great team at moving the Word. I have a feeling their time is coming to an end though. TWI is slowly dying off, like the Shakers and Quakers did. Soon, there will be one 100 year old lady knitting in her rocking chair because everyone died off and they never could get new people.

Sunesis,
Yeah, looks like ole donna found her a cozy niche....that's for sure! Whatever she does that is "so special"....I've never seen it! But looks like the abundant sharing is keeping her in pearls and bubble baths there at the corps chalet.
Alot of hard earned money going to a woman that "whisper's sweet little nothings" for the queen to hear....or whatever she does.
No accountability at that place!!! If the field innies only knew........*sigh*
I remember when Craig stepped down. The reorganization to a President that wasn't the main teacher included a provision that it would be for 3 - 5 years.
I know what craig said, but I think rosie isn't going to go that easily. She's going to claim whatever craig said regarding that is an 'old wine skin' if anyone even has the kahunas to ask her about who her replacement will be since it's time for her to step down.
I seriously doubt anyone will remind her that her time is up and I really doubt that she will go quietly into that good night. She's enjoying the power, having people wait on her hand and foot and never being questioned. She ain't going nowhere, imo.
I suppose ya'll are right. After clawing her way to the top.....she's not likely to give up her place and be a bystander.
Besides, it's not like she really DOES anything except oversee board meetings and teach a few times a year. Gooooollly, she could do that well into her 80s........just like the pope.

Maybe criticizing TWI's president will be the new original sin?

Actually I think she needs to start a new theme for the ear of Rosieness.
something like "The Decade of Super-Hyper Abstruse Power and Profundity"
or
"The Decade of Settlements"

Actually, Rosie's time is up now.
I remember when Craig stepped down. The reorganization to a President that wasn't the main teacher included a provision that it would be for 3 - 5 years.
It has been 5 years as of this spring.

Bob, that's what I'm saying, but with the two main obstacles out of the way, the provisions can easily be voted upon and changed by the BOD.
