The BOD has exactly what Wierwille had originally wanted: a group that can continuously keep them in the non-profit business, and enough money and services flowing to make them all happy.
And, in case any of you aren't familiar with rosie's "teaching" she usually just reads a bunch of scriptures :blink: and then tells everyone to be sure to buy the new poster and CD.
Decade of Prevailing????? What a buch of horsehockey!
How can they have read Acts chapter 19 and have the nerve, the unmitigated gall to claim that they're living in the "Promised land of the Prevailing Word"? Does Rosie 's hankie drive devil spirits from people? Does Harve Platig do "special miracles"? Does ANYONE get healed or delivered at their lame fellowships? (Pardon the pun)
I noticed they've put the modern marketing spin on it. "Solutions" is the current buzzword in marketing. Software companies peddle "solutions". So the Way has "Biblical Solutions" for daily living. Man, what a bunch of empty b.s. Where's a good eye-rollin' emoticon when you need one?
Well the other spin could be the fact that you have to be well-rounded and have community service projects in order to get all that scholarship money so you wont go in debt to go to college.
Good point, Penguin. It could be like anything else "altruistic" that comes from TWI really has strings and ulterior motives attached to it. OR it could be the pressure from the other students wanting to do something to help that there really wasn't a choice.
TWI had encouraged people to get involved in the community at one time, but then they never allowed time for it and they were moving people around so much that they never even had time to put down roots and get to know anyone in the community on any kind of level.

Teaching the Bible is secondary.

Well,
they're still in high school,
and still exposed to ideas outside the group.
If they stay IN twi,
they'll learn that helping others is contra-twi-doctrine.
Gotta send that money in to hq.

HQ did send money to the Tsunami relief, I wouldn't be surprised if they did for hurricane also. They just don't "announce" it,
and tell anyone else to do it....
Wouldn't that confuse everyone...!
Hey, it makes them look like a "charitable organization" don't you think? :blink:

Well, at least this year's poster is a bit more pleasing to the eye. (still pretty stodgy, but I like the colors)
I thought the big announcement was going to be their new pfal class going out to the masses...

Well, I didn't see the poster, so I cannot comment.
I thought the big announcement was going to sound a little Disney "Now just one sip of this Kool-aid and all of your dreams will come true."

I thought the big announcement was that due to budget constraints, the annual BOD meeting was going to be in the Cayman Islands, instead of Cancun..
