  1. Wierwille's "ministry" and legacy is in the trash bin of history. For 20 years, GSC has shown the evil face behind its mask. Labeling the stolen class [from Rev. B.G. Leonard] as "Power for Abundant Living"........was a marketing ploy. Wierwille was a thief and had to take his stolen goods to a *chop shop* to strip and alter the vehicle to something else.......to disguise the theft. He used deception with ease, without guilt or shame. Labeling his church building "The Way Biblical Research and Teaching Center" did NOT make it so. With each passing year, he strayed more into private interpretation as he added *Advanced Studies Classes* to generate a system of indoctrination. Cash flow, baby...... I contend that wierwille's narcissist ambitions were to establish a dependency on twi.......not on Christ Jesus, the mediator between God and man. Wierwille's aim was focused on the subjugation of his followers!!! These past 20 years, hundreds of GSC threads have exposed Wierwille's revisionist history. Of course, wierwille boasted and expounded profusely during those corps night owl meetings when he was liquored up with plenty of Drambuie, his favorite drink. He detailed accounts of hearing an audible voice from God, snow on the gas pumps, studying into the wee hours of the morning for 12 years to unearth the truths of the Scriptures, etc. etc. And, the Wierwille German family history was broadcasted loud and proud time and again......even Mrs. Wierwille's book spends ample time on this to tweak the indoctrination message of "The Way, Inc." The year 1982, the designated year of wierwille's retirement (after 40 years of his ministry work --- cough, cough)........was when Wierwille's narcissism and boasting came center stage. Hours and hours of detailing the wierwille family history at "Living Victoriously." Wine glasses with the wierwille crest were sold in the Way's bookstore. Little wierwille statues could be purchased for your desk or home. The corps training was an indoctrination program. The corps were sent forth with marching orders to run classes.......i.e. subjugate followers. Every cog in the machine was geared for followship........not fellowship. Even to this day, there are indoctrinated ex-corps who have NOT connected the dots of wierwille's deception. They are devotees/idolaters who spout the cult-clap cliches and buzzwords that we all heard thousands of times. Corps who endeavored to research Scripture that was outside the boundaries of wierwille's system were slapped back into line, or black-listed. Heck, even Schoenheit's research on "Adultery is a Sin" was deep-sixed by Walter Cummings, the Research Department Head Coordinator. In fact, you'd get pozzezzed just reading it.......what a sh!t-show accusation. Backed by Geer, Finnegan, Townsend, others? Nobody could challenge this? Wierwille died of cancer. Does twi go back and examine wierwille's teachings at the Advanced Classes that CANCER IS A DEVIL SPIRIT? Nope. Silence. You are not allowed to challenge wierwille's teachings. You are NOT allowed to disagree with the way cult. If you dissent, then they "mark and avoid" you. The Scientologists call it "disconnect." The Amish consider it "shunning." A journey that may have started as biblical research for some........morphed into twi-indoctrination. The errors/deception in doctrine led to errors/deception in practice. Mandates were established to instill subservience: Foundational books only sold to PFAL grads. In-house bookstore. Indoctrination marketing. Series of classes build on twi-doctrine....ie. Renewed Mind. Why in the past tense? Scripture says "renewing of the mind".... Cancer is a devil spirit. Wierwille died of cancer. Did wierwille die possessed of a devil spirit? Or, was wierwille wrong? No debt-policy. For 26 years, twi had a mandated policy of no debt for certain classes, leadership positions. What changed? No pregnancy policy. Corps grads were mandated to NOT get pregnant....or released from employment. Why? No homosexuals allowed......yet, Rosalie had two lesbians living in her basement. No one could call her out on it? Two-by-two policy. Who enforced this policy? Was Donna allowed to go shopping by herself? LOL Founders Hall mandates. Off-grounds leniency. Two-tier system benefits some and not others. Subjugation. Indoctrination. Subservience. It's around every corner at The Way International. And now, Donna is the CEO of The Way International........when every rule and mandate that wierwille established was that EACH CORPS COUPLE was treated as a unit of one. If the husband screwed up, both husband and wife were dropped from active corps [DFAC]. If the wife was "off the Word" and rebellious, then the husband was reproved for not leading her correctly and BOTH were dismissed from the corps program. YET, that is not what happened with Donna. She was given special compensation, because of her *close association* with Rosalie. Hypocrisy and complicity.....as the "rulers" have their own set of no accountability. Donna got to lay low for several years and incrementally, and strategically, build her status back to prominence. LOL. See how that works? Rules for thee, but not for SHE. Indoctrination Central Command is still plugging along. Welcome to the cult.

  2. Yeah, Rocky - I’ve realized that a long time ago... as always there’s actually 2 reasons I post. My target audience is other folks whether in or out of TWI who have some doubts, questions, want to sort things out or maybe just looking for validation of some thoughts they’ve had so they check out Grease Spot...and as far as anyone else who still believes wierwille was the greatest - my posts may be a glimmer of hope to escape the nonsense. I never write anyone off or demonize them like wierwille and other TWI leadership would do - mark and avoid...declare someone is wrong seed...possessed...tricked by the devil. There is always hope.
