Dr. Wierwille's sins:
Adultery
Lying (plagarizing and failing to credit other people's works)
Condemnation and Judgmentalism (failing to forgive and forget other people's shortcomings)
Craig Martindale's sins:
Adultery
Lying
Condemnation
Judgmentalism
Elitism
False teaching.
The list above is in no way a complete list. I had no problem forgiving Dr. Wierwille for his plagarism and making up stories to enhance his credibility. Those things are easily forgiven. It is harder to forgive his condemning people for things outside of their control, such as blaming someone for someone else's death. I thank God for Dr. Wierwille for teaching the Word, even if some of it wasn't accurate.
Craig Martindale also engaged in adultery. Yet the hypocrisy goes much further in his case. Craig gave into lustful temptations and yet railed against homosexuals when the spiritual influences of lust and homosexual are very closely related. His adulterous acts basically invited the homosexual spiritual influences to take root inside TWI. That is hypocrisy.
Craig forsake God's Word and made Dr. Wierwille teachings equivalent to the Word, until he believed that his own ideas and beliefs were equivalent to the Word. The "Athletes of the Spirit" Production presented Craig as superior to Jesus Christ. The prides comes before the fall. Craig's ego far surpassed VP's.
Craig was confronted on numerous fronts regarding his wrongdoings and wrong teachings. He did not heed reproof. John Schoenheit shows from the Word that adultery is sin. Craig ignored that, and look what happened to Craig. He got sued for sexual harassment. Look at the fruits of Craig's actions.
Craig was confronted on other areas, but rejected Godly reproof. Craig stole TWI from those who wanted to believe God's Word more than commit to an organization. People did not leave TWI, Craig stole it from them because of his sin, his failure to restore his life back to the Word.
Craig went further in mistreating believers with his Mark and Avoid teaching. Bearing false witness against a brother or sister in Christ is a sin. Teaching wrong doctrine is a sin.
Craig damaged the reputation of many believers, fractionalized the body of believers, taught wrong doctrine, commit sins of lust and coercion upon many God-fearing women, and usurped God's authority by setting up himself as the authority. Craig mentally and verbally abused people.
Yet, had Craig simply acknowledged his mistakes back in 1987, I would have been happy to have continued to be a part of TWI. Craig chose to continue in error and sin. Was that greater than Dr. Wierwille's sins. In deliberately causing harm to believers, I say yes.
