"God did not speak to Victor Paul Wierwille and give him divine instruction for all mankind that he would teach “the Word” like it hasn’t been known since the first century. That is a lie from a book they no longer claim and a lie that is not in the man’s biography written by his spouse. "
In case someone particularly nostalgic- who doesn't know any better- has just arrived, read that, and said aloud "Oh, yeah? Prove it!", I'm going to reply.
First of all, the Burden of Proof is on the person who insists on the existence of something, the one who says "this is true." In this case, that means the burden of proof is on the one who claims that the alleged 1942 promise was true. So, they are asking the wrong question to begin with.
However, I'm not done. In many cases, where some claim has been made, we can look things over and confirm or dismiss them. Let's look at the claim. vpw claimed that God Almighty spoke to vpw himself and said that He (God) would teach him (vpw) God's Word as it hadn't been known since the First Century if he (vpw) would teach it (God's Word) to others. Further, vpw insisted that he demanded God prove this by making it snow. A moment later, he was in a complete snowstorm and could see nothing out the window.
First of all, the claim in taped pfal was that vpw had dedicated his life to God's Word. Nobody heard this 1942 Promise until much further into twi. Second of all, his own WIFE heard nothing about this in 1942. She wrote that he first told this to the early corps- so the first words out of his mouth that day to here weren't "Honey, something amazing happened today and I have to tell you about it..." (I've heard claims that Mrs W was wrong and people heard of it in the mid-1960s. Even if true, it doesn't change him saying NOTHING to his wife when is ALLEGEDLY happened.
Third of all, vpw's claim CHANGED. When he first made the claim, the sky filled with snow was "BLACK" with snow. Later, he claimed he was in a white-out (my phrasing), where the sky was all white. If the man had a genuine experience with God, he would remember if the sky suddenly turned all-WHITE or all-BLACK, because even the legally blind can tell the difference between an all-white and an all-black sky. However, if vpw was making this up, and later heard that an all-snow sky is all white, he would change his story. If he was repeating a miraculous occurrence, he would have added comments. "I know the sky SHOULD have looked all white, but there it was- all BLACK outside my window in the middle of the day..." This change reflected someone trying to convince people of a story he was making up and fine-tuning as he heard objections.
Fourth, all weather reports of the day show no snow anywhere in the state. He never claimed it was a VISION of snow, but real snow. However, let us continue AS IF he claimed it was a VISION of snow. Then the rest of his claims should be examined for all their faults.
