Thanks, I appreciate the correction.

Heck no...she was a high school graduate who never attended college. Worked at the Way of CA office at about 19 I think, and worked her way to Ohio to be on staff. She was only a secretary, and from those I know who worked with her...not even a good one.

How did twi amass some $68 Million? Well, back in its heyday 1977-1982...... Wierwille established precedent that all staffers were paid "according to their need".... Back in the late 70s........the whole subculture of twi was a carefree, youth commune Living on-grounds and eating 3 meals-a-day at twi's cafeteria.......and many staffers didn't have a car Haircuts at twi, plurality palace (like Goodwill), Sewing Dept and dental care at Rome City Campus Example: Staff Bi-Monthly paycheck was $275.......or $6,600 yearly income Interim Corps at hq were paid $75 a month......or $900 for their interim year Extra hours of work required......yet, no overtime pay. Rock or Ages prep began in May. Attendance at Sunday service required. Duties assigned.....ushering, bookstore, refreshments, burgers. Not only ABS weekly....but those attending STS spent money at bookstore and bought burgers to go. Staffers, too......paid for those hamburgers or popcorn. Cha..ching, cha..ching. No supplementing one's income on the side. No mechanical work. No carpentry. No selling eggs. On the field.........often, pfal classes were run in someone's home. No room rental fee. On the field.........refreshments, paper goods, extras, gas money were expenses paid by those "moving the word." The Way International set its doctrine that TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD was its one and only duty Thus, by the subtle power of spiritual abuse...........twi has amassed some $68 Million in 2020. And, now.........$65,000 goes to pay Craig Martindale's pension each year. Does Rosalie.......get $65,000 per year also? How can this possibly be right? Wierwille stole the foundational class..........AND..........TWI steals your giving and abundant sharing.

For those arriving late, this was a quote from MRS WIERWILLE, at vpw's FUNERAL.

"He was a mean man."

Considering that each self-appointed leader is following the pattern vpw set- with zero accountability, a "lockbox" for secrets, etc, it's not that shocking that some of those "leaders" have abused their congregations. There's nothing to protect the flock or stop abuses or limit the leader's power.
