gene and sherry are good people. the way abused them beyond what you would believe. i am happy for them. he always was a research nut and i'm glad he is putting it to good use. glad hes teaching school in LA - thats a lifetime teaching job and he is a good teacher. damn glad God is multiplying their success like Job. i know nothing of their current associations or reasoning, havent spoken in many years. no i'm not packing up the camper and joining the old folks revival in montana. not my deal. and i'm not a fan of the ex corpse coords. except i believe rico to be genuine and to have put in genuine work on the classes his ministry offers. as such they would be better than the ways classes. but i know nothing of associations and strings and whatever else is involved in that group. as far as associations, i dunno - at least a bunch of those individual ministries working together in any sense more resembles activity that I believe to be more like the genuine body of Christ than the ways isolationist hooey. i think the r and r represents a collective offshoot group. i personally choose not to preserve anything remotely attached to wierwille, i believe my journey God is leading through other christian influences. but if ex way folks find a support system there its ok by me. unless they buy a motorcoach. but i 100% get the aversion to ex corpse coordinators. i concur. those clowns were the worst of the worst, like starting a new jewish ministry with ss gestapo members. how bout they stfu for the next couple decades. and the way int? they that trouble their own house will inherit the wind. so shellac away preserving that auditorium and broadcast equipment paid for with blood money.

This has been a problem on its way for 30+ years. The late 60s/early 70s numerical growth was fueled by young people who wanted something different than what their parents' churches had to offer. As cultish as we now know TWI has always been, for us young people back then, TWI, at least upon our initial exposure, was exciting. For the children of the first few waves of PFAL grads, TWI was their parents' church and was anything but exciting. Besides, by the 90s there was an evangelical or "full Bible" church on every street corner that claimed to deliver the same "accuracy of The Word" that TWI did...there was plenty of choice, it wasn't just TWI vs. mainstream Christianity any more.
