This could all happen, but I just don't see it here or in US (or a couple of other countries with which I am familiar). My guess is that the average age of adults TMers in Skem is at least 50 - and as MMY knew (and as those of us who are now in our 50's know), people in this age group do not have the energy or enthusiasm to put in the kind of work that is needed to regenerate the organization. I certainly do not see this energy in Skem - quite the opposite - people thinking of slowing down, if anything. As Charlie Lutes used to say, you don't go to a senior citizens center to start a revolution. What I do see among *some* people is a liberating feeling, a release of energy, to do things that they want to do for themselves - live a good life, financial security, travel, have fun - but this is among those who have already developed some of this over many years while maintaining contact with the TMO (i.e. doing program). For those others, this may take several years, or it may never happen for them in this lifetime. Luckily for them (or at least more comfortably for them), the UK welfare and health systems is much more kinder to older/poorer people than the US system.
