Hello Everybody:
My name is Wayne Bragg. I was a member of The Way International from 1974 until 1986. I participated in several programs that were functioning at the Way International at that time. One of the programs I participated in was WOW ambassador. I was a WOW in Washington, DC in 1982/1983. One of the incidents that occurred during that time was a disturbing phone call that my WOW sister received. The call was about a suicide of a dear friend of hers. The woman that committed suicide was the sister of Al Wainberg, who was ordained clergy of TWI. Al at that time was a branch leader in San Francisco, California. From what little I know of the incident, I heard that she was very pretty. I also heard a very disturbing rumor connected with her demise. She was in the first year of residence in the Way Corps, TWIs leadership training program. Dr. Wierwille, perhaps a voyeur, always seemed excited about showing a film that he truly loved called the Animal Farm to the incoming Way Corps. I think he must have enjoyed watching the ladies responses to the sexually explicit scenes depicting sex between animals and women. I heard that VPW took special notice of Al?s sister and spoke to one of his people stating that she was naive and that he could help her.
Now this is the $64,000 question. Can someone put this rumor to rest? I heard that Dr. Wierwille had Al?s sister commit a sex act. The recipient of this sex act was Dr. Wierwille. After words she became full of guilt, went to a motel room and committed suicide. Every life is precious. Could someone fill me in? Is this true?
