About Us
April
5th 2000
Hi!
Since April 1999 you've known me only as Ex-Twi. I chose to
remain anonymous for several reasons, but am now in a position
where it is needful for me to reveal my identity.
My
name is Mr. Allen (no relative of Howard Allen). My wife Fern
(Frances) and I resigned from the 25th Way Corps and left our
staff positions at The Way International HQ on March 23rd
1999.
We
have spent the past year coming to grips with what happened to
us during our time in The Way, the Way Corps and on staff at
The Way International headquarters and we have now determined
that our successful re-habilitation and our well-being depends
on seeking redress from The Way International and its trustees
for the years of fraud, exploitation, humiliation, slavery and
sexual assault which we endured at their hands.
Having
presented The Way International with an opportunity to make
amends with us privately, and having seen no effort on their
part to recognize or take responsibility for their actions, we
have decided to institute legal proceedings against The Way
International and several of its chief officers/agents in the
expectation that we can obtain justice in the Ohio court
system for these outrageous acts and abuses.
On
the advice of legal counsel, we will not be commenting on
these legal proceedings nor providing more details concerning
our case than is set forth in our complaint (published
here).
We
would be thankful to hear from any of you who feel that you
can help us in the preparation of our case. We welcome any
information or testimony from those of you who believe that
you can help us substantiate and validate our complaint.
Please
take the time to read our complaint and carefully consider if
you have any documents, photographs or personal
testimony/experiences that will help us validate and document
our complaint (or any portion of our complaint). Please feel
free to write to me if you need further clarification from me
as to what would be helpful information.
Thank
you for wishing us well as we embark on this course of action.
Thank
you for submitting information and testimony to me privately
via e-mail (and our new PO Box for regular mail) instead of
disclosing your information/testimony on the internet.
It
is our hope that discussion about our case amongst those of
you who support our efforts will stay on a general level and
that specific details of our case and legal strategies would
not be discussed on the Internet. We thank you in advance
for your help in this matter.
This
complaint (published here)
was filed with the Shelby County Court of Common Pleas in
Sidney Ohio on April 4th 2000, and as such is now a matter of
public record. If you believe that someone can be helped in
some way by having a copy of this complaint, please feel free
to pass it along to them or pass along this web page address.
Sincerely,
Mr. Allen (Ex-Twi always)
