Robert Wilkinson or the Reverend Robert Wilkinson as he was known then was based in the Macclesfield/Manchester area of the UK. He was a very highly intelligent person who was good with words. During the early 1980's he was driving a Ford Granada Coupe which at the time was a very expensive car. Wilkinson was head of The Way International UK. This organisation taught a class which was named Power For Abundant Living. This class was a series of taped lectures which were presented by The Way's founder. The groups members were encouraged to take this class, and were guaranteed many benefits which would be bestowed upon them. Not all of the members who took the class saw it through to the end, the class cost £50.00 to take and was a lot of money in those days, and there were follow on classes which would also cost money. Member of this group were not allowed to question the doctrines, if they did they were told that hey were being influenced by the devil. The way's members were very manipulative, they would love-bomb their new recruits with kindness and affection, and if any of them were not able to take the class they were told that they were not allowed to have any more contact with them, so they would be cold shouldered and rejected.
The way the organisation changed manipulated and twisted the Biblical scriptures was very clever, in fact so clever the groups members could convincingly prove that black was white.
It could take volumes to explain more things about this group, and there are many former members who give testimonies.
