  1. My name is Randy George. I am a 16th Corps grad and spent my interim year in 1986 on staff at Headquarters and later worked on staff from 1992 - 1999 in the MIS Department and sang in the Chorus Choir during that time. I left The Way in 2001 and now live in Orlando Florida with my wife Cathy and our three boys, all now adults 21 years and up. A number of years ago I posted links here of home videos I made during that time but the website I posted them to has since disappeared. I have uploaded over two hours of video to YouTube of both the original content and other content that I previously had not posted anywhere. The two videos are marked "unlisted" which means that the only way you will be able to find them is using these links. I am posting the links here with the hope that some will find the content meaningful. Anyone who has been in The Way will be able to appreciate the people and places that I have documented in these videos. If you have any questions or suggestions please drop me an email at rag421@juno.com. Enjoy! Randy Table of contents attached and also included in the description on YouTube.

  2. Likeaneagle Yes, 1994 was the last year. There were six of them that summer and sometime after LCM announced that they would not be doing them anymore. It was an old wineskin you know. Camp Gunnison was to train the Way Corps and that's what he wanted them doing as their focus. The camps were a huge effort for the staff their as well and basically that's all the Corps and staff did for about two months in the summer. Of course the next year the Rock was cancelled and about the only thing that remained was Word in Buisiness for a number of years more.
  3. As far as cancelling ROA, a big reason LCM gave to those of us on staff during that time was the amount of work it was on the staff and how much it took away from being able to do a lot of other projects at HQ. Most of the staff were glad to see ROA cancelled because of the work. It was six months of work for many of us. But I agree that the real reasons were probably control - much easier to control people who were scattered around the country and who did not have the opportunity to share notes when they got together at the Rock. Many people missed having ROA and I also agree that it added a great deal to the fellowship of the ministry as a whole and the bond that people felt being a part of something big.
  4. I saw the recent post about Camp Gunnison and Family Camps. LCM decided that Family Camps should be discontinued and my family attended the last or second to last one they had back in 1994. I have to say that it was one of the best family vacations that we had ever taken. Camp Gunnison – Family Camp 1994 (10:05 min) For those who may be interested, here are the other videos that I had posted here on GS back in January of 2006: Outreach Services Center tour – 1992/1993 (6:15 min) Party for LCM – April 1995 (10:55 min) The Way International Headquarters – 1994 (4:48 min) Indiana Campus – July 1993 (3:01 min) The Rock of Ages – 1993 (10:31 min) The Fountain of Living Waters (3:20 min) VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 (4:10 min) The Way Woods – 1994 (3:47 min)
  5. Newest video added is a brief tour of the Outreach Services Center, the OSC. (Note – much of this video has no sound.) The first part includes a photo of LCM at 1 ½ years old that he had put up on the east lobby bulletin board. The second part shows a little of how the OSC was decorated for the annual staff holiday party which was a very big event – we definitely ate a much nicer meal than pizzas! The men wore tuxes (if they had them) and the women wore gowns. There is a nice clip of Mrs. Wierwille talking to the dining room coordinator (who at the time was Mark N.) Outreach Services Center tour – 1992/1993 (6:15 min) Other videos: Party for LCM – April 1995 (10:55 min) The Way International Headquarters – 1994 (4:48 min) Indiana Campus – July 1993 (3:01 min) The Rock of Ages – 1993 (10:31 min) The Fountain of Living Waters (3:20 min) VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 (4:10 min) The Way Woods – 1994 (3:47 min)
  6. Justloafing, I understand. HQ is beautiful on the outside, but like the "whited sepulchre", it's full of deceit and lies on the "inside"!
  7. I figured that many people may not have seen some of these places and is one reason I posted these videos. I think the one of the party for LCM shows just how far we went to lavish praise on him. You can't tell from the video but there was a red carpet for LCM to walk on and spot lights shining into the sky! I expect that the videos will be viewed with various emotions, some good memories and some bad. But I hope they give some view into The Way International that some may not have otherwise.
  8. Newest video added is the party held for LCM at the completion of the video taping of The Way of Abundance and Power class: Party for LCM – April 1995 (10:55 min) Other videos: The Way International Headquarters – 1994 (4:48 min) Indiana Campus – July 1993 (3:01 min) The Rock of Ages – 1993 (10:31 min) The Fountain of Living Waters (3:20 min) VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 (4:10 min) The Way Woods – 1994 (3:47 min)
  9. Newest video added below is very brief tour of Headquarters. The Way International Headquarters – 1994 (4:48 min) Other videos: Indiana Campus – July 1993 (3:01 min) The Rock of Ages – 1993 (10:31 min) The Fountain of Living Waters (3:20 min) VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 (4:10 min) The Way Woods – 1994 (3:47 min)
  10. Newest video added below is a very brief tour of the Indiana Campus. Links to my other videos follow: Indiana Campus – July 1993 (3 min) The Rock of Ages – 1993 (10:31 min) The Fountain of Living Waters (3:20 min) VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 (4:10 min) The Way Woods – 1994 (3:47 min)
  11. I understand the mixed reactions to the videos. (I'm sorry that some people are having technical problems seeing the videos, I don't know what more I can do but refer you to their web site for technical help.) I recently got a new computer that I can use to transfer all of my video tape to electronic format. I thought I would experiment with a few posts and see how it went. The Vidilife web site is free and was the first one I found that did video hosting. I'm open to suggestions if others know of a better way to share these. I began my involvement with The Way when I was 19 - that was in 1979. Twenty five years later I quit. During that time I went WOW, and went through The Way Corps and served on staff at HQ for over seven years. I've lived at HQ, Indiana Campus, Camp Gunnison and Emporia. The only location I have no video for is Emporia. I have put all my "Way-related" video onto DVD and have over two hours total. Even though I have no interest in ever being involved with The Way again, it was an integral part of my life for 25 years and I have many fond memories (as well as not-so-fond). Your feedback is appreciated and I will post more as I have time.
  12. Newest video added below is from the Rockof Ages 1993. I have added links to my other videos as well. The Rock of Ages 1993 The Fountain of Living Waters VPW WOW Auditorium - May 1994 The Way Woods - 1994
  13. Topoftheworld That's my only platform right now. I don't really like the other stuff you see either, that's why my first two posts played the video right in my Greasespot post. That presented problems for some people though. The site I am using is free and I am just trying this out for experimentation. Glad you enjoy it.
  14. The link below is to a compilation of home video I took of the Fountain of Living Waters 1993 - 1994 It is my intention to eventually have a site where all my video related to The Way can be stored for easy viewing by anyone. I have about two hours total that include clips of ROA 1993, Headquarters grounds, Indiana Campus, and Camp Gunnison. The current video hosting site I am using has detailed information about the computer requirements you need in order to view the video successfully. Among other things, you need Windows Media Player. The Fountain of Living Waters
  15. The Vidilife site mentions that a firewall could prevent them from playing. You could try turning Zone Alarm off. I have had problems when Zone Alarm is active. You may have other fire wall issues. I know Windows XP has a firewall built in and I sometimes disable it. You can go to their site: www.vidilife.com
