Update:

As of today August 18th, 2000 ....still no response back from Ms. Rivenbark. We are pretty certain we will never be allowed back in the ministry in its current state.

In 1979 when I was in the Way Corps I wrote a letter to Dr. Wierwille. At that time he was being attacked by the media who were accusing him of running a cult. God's Word was moving so dynamically at that time in our ministry that the adversary was trying anything to stop the thousands of believers who were being added every year. In hopes of blessing him at a low time in his life, I wrote him to share of my experiences in Catholic seminary to show that if anything can be called a cult the Roman Catholic church would fit that category. I shared with him about how I was raised Roman Catholic and became very religious in my search for God to the point that I attended a seminary to become a priest. He liked my letter so much he turned it into a handout and called it "I Got Out". It was given out at Advanced Classes for a while. Dr. Wierwille even had me read it at Advanced Class '79 in front of a huge audience. Sometimes I think I should write another paper and call it "I Got Out ...Again". I am only glad Dr. Wierwille is not alive today to see that the ministry he started has indeed turned into a cult after all.
