I am sure the wages are standard for non-col.. They have normal benefits, etc.. (when they pay them), have had 401k since the mid-90's, I think its time to put this thread back on track(says the one who took it off track).

Kathy, again, paragraphs are a good thing.

Congratulations Clarehoare - your post was number 2000. As a prize, I will send you a copy of Seven Steps to Inner Power. Does Amazon.com carry it? :occasion1

PS: If they don't have it, would you settle for a copy of Mein Kampf?
I already have seven steps.. mein kampf would be more interesting... i'll trade you?

Clarehoare -

I noticed you changed your style. It's a nice one, and very effective with the right practicioner
Ya its a little more "point and shoot" than most traditional arts, if you know what i mean.

I think there was at least 2 while i was around, the SF became a smaller one at SJ. 97 was the last year I believe...

I can't recall who that was, was it KH? Thats laughable about the new age people being close minded, they're the biggest group of snake oil buyers in the galaxy.

Maybe it wasn't that show as the proper name, but I went to 2 new age conventions with them, and I believe they were both in spring, and they were at the McEnery center in SJ. All of the col people who went called it the "whole life expo" but they may have been calling it that out of habit.

They didn't push SDW at either of them, it was all about the video, i think it's called Ki Rhythms.

They had all of the candling, and weird stuff... I know you didn't go to this one, because you had told me I should try candling as I was leaving and reminded me with your ball of wax.

The moral here is, just because you don't remember, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I already have seven steps.. mein kampf would be more interesting... i'll trade you?

Is the above a sentence? I don't think I need to be told how to post. But thank you anyway.

As soon as SK joined jsw in 91 tyk said she wanted her because she was a teacher and she wanted then to get her into col to home school all of you kids. I know that Santa Clara County didn't pass the home school bond at that time, so maybe that is why she didn't do it. So it must of worked out for SK to home school the newest youngesters. There aren't many kids in col are there? As no children have been born to anyone that is a member of col while they are there. If you went to private school some Chica you can bet it was your dad's support payments that paid for that. I can't see them being out more money so you could go to private school. Unless it was to benifit them.

They would have had a much stronger hold on us, if they ever had figured that out.

Is the above a sentence? I don't think I need to be told how to post. But thank you anyway.
I already have seven steps, however mein kampf would be more interesting. I'd consider a trade if you are intersted?

I fixed the punctuation. Is that better?

The point was that your point is lost in large uninterrupted blocks of text with a continuous list of questions. Paragraphs make your posts simpler to grasp.

4.) Us children were promised a homeschooling education( as she always mentioned how horrible the public school systems were and how bad teenagers were becoming). There were always talks about it, TYK always promised it but it never happened. But now her new generation of children are homeschooled (something she promised the former COL children). But we were sent to religious private schools some of the time as well as a few public schools. I am glad that we ended up being educated regular schools, vs. being home schooled. It made me see how the real world operated, and see how strange of an upbringing I had.
You have to admit we had a pretty good private tutor in 98. Albeit our parents paid for it.

Is the above a sentence? I don't think I need to be told how to post. But thank you anyway.

Clarehoare's post is "stream of consciousness' writing, and Kathy's also.......what appears to be a run-on sentence is just reflecting how the mind is thinking. It's a very acceptable style....Faulkner used stream of consciousness, (read Light in August) as did many others......

Yeoman
Tenth Dan - Yo Man Do
"so easy, even a cave man can do it"

i think my post was taken as negativity. It wasn't and I'm sorry it came off that way.

On the other hand I like the Yo Man Do "so easy, even a cave man can do it"

Charisma, my butt! Her special way is manipulation, fabrications.

I have waited outside of a meeting in Medford that was suppose to be a couple of hours, instead it continued for days because of her nonsense. Telling her grandioso life story, etc. After the people came out, one guy said to me,"thanks for breaking up the meeting, I thought I was being held hostage". TRUE STORY!

Well the story goes: There was supposed to be a 2 day meeting in Medford starting on Monday. My husband was suppose to be back no later than Wednesday. By Friday, he was still not home and still had meetings to attend. I flew out to Medford to at least spend a weekend with him. On Friday night, I waited and waited until approximately 7 p.m. Went out to dinner with all who attended the meeting, thinking I still have Sat. and Sun. Sat. I was told there would be a meeting Sat. morning but would have the afternoon free.

She did not show up until after noon while everyone just hung around the office and waited. Again the meeting went into evening. By this time I was getting upset. Along comes Sun. The meeting was to continue only in the morning and finished by noon. At noon I went to pick up my husband and was told the meeting was still going on.

These meetings take forever because she knows nothing of the business and everything has to be explained two or three times. Of course there is this BS about the moon is not right, the sun is not in the right position, can't make decisions until the she checks the stars. BS, she has to have some one explain to her what is going on and between this unprofessional nonsense, she prays and chants.

As I said, I went to pick him up, I told them that if my husband does not come out at noon, I will be going into the meeting. I felt comfortable about going in as I have been friends with some of them for many years.

LWS employees were adamant about not letting me in. I told them "watch me". AG was immediately called and came out of the meeting. We had an argument. I told AG, my husband works to live, not lives to work. He has a wife and family and he is not here to watch her break boards or listen to nonsense. I later learned that they spent a day on martial arts performances. WHO CARES! Half of the people were from out of the country and they were annoyed with her. Don't want to tell you how many came up to me and complained that they did not come all the way to Medford to see martial arts and how unprofessional LWS is. They came for business. They wanted to go HOME. My phone ran off the hook the entire evening thanking me, some said their wives were upset and totally understood my frustration. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! This is just one of many
