Passing of Patriarch  Firings   The following section was deleted from the main page It was prodded with the fact tag since November and moved here for discussion The first sentence was also removed but will be placed below with my reasonings for discussion  Shortly afterwards he sent a letter to all members announcing the firings which resulted in approximately  of the current membership to leave en masse with their local leaders At presentsome exTWI groups either rival or surpass TWI in current membership numbers  If we can source those  items then this section can go back in    Their presence as organizations became significant in  when L Craig Martindale fired all Way staffincluding local branch territory limb and region leaders who did not swear an oath of allegiance to him   That line was removed as well for discussion only Are we sure he fired them Were they all paid staff of The Way International I am asking for clarity sake and especially because I removed the other sections I dont have a problem with the sentence I just didnt know how to correct it Actually wait I shouldnt delete it I will reenter that line into the article and leave it here as a reference to discuss the word fired Thanks for understanding
