I suspect this topic may have been sufficiently hammered over the years. But ... The Way International bills itself as a Biblical research, teaching and fellowship ministry. Now I was way disciple 2x. I spent a full year "witnessing" mega hours per week and advertising the research part. I always used to think that the research was so special and what made the way international so special and above all other organizations - I was proud. Anyways, we all know the history. Victor Paul Wierwille's "research" turns out to be plagiarized from multiple sources, the good old days where the research team at international brought new light turned out to be not so good in hind sight, since the research turns out to be suspect at best, Craig Martindale ran off or fired most of the old research team, Wayne Clapp eventually left leaving only Craig who was fired in 2000. Please correct me where my memory no longer serves me. Enter Rozilla. She comes out with this new fangled "research policy" that "opens the doors" for all in the ministry to add to the storehouse of research currently available in the way international. Yuk. Anyways, if someone comes across some new research it is to be submitted to Headquarters where it is worked extensively, comparing it to proven ministry research, etc. Then it is put on the shelf for 6 months then re-worked again. If it proves of merit it is presented to the way corpse for feedback. Then it is presented to the household. You know in the 10 years since this policy came around I cannot remember one time where new research was presented. Not one. So this new policy was billed as something that would allow all to contribute and in reality it was the final nail in the coffin for the way international's research efforts. So, where's the research, eh?

See, that is precisely what many field leadership think and even though they disagree with it and know it's wrong they will not do anything about it. They decide to live under that hypocrisy for .....insert reason here....., and generally refuse to go near headquarters unless it's for a short event. But go on staff?....no way. The honest thing to do is to air your grievances and leave if there is no resolution. But it's interesting that the bondage that the innie's are in is so obvious when you are on the outside looking in. Anyways... I would love that link Belle. Thanks in advance if you have it.

Zena now portrayed by Ms. Rosie and herc by Mr. Linder. shudder (should be Xena, warrior princess). reminds me of The Sword of the Seeker. or The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings

Maybe they would rather you put the new ideas in their suggestion box..

Refried beans...lol

i'm sorry about your daughter and i'm praying for her and all of you and yours. i haven't read all the replies here yet but i will but right now i have to run but i wanted to say something but if it's been said already i'm saying it again. here's the thing, whatever is going on with your daughter was going to go on regardless of being in the way international or not, but if you were still in the way international you'd be trying to believe your way out of the situation instead of taking her for decent medical care and loving her up, or if you were taking her for decent medical care and loving her up, you'd be getting the same bs you're getting now anyway, so in or out of the way international, nothing would have changed concerning their treatment of you and your daughter in this situation. so their bs is their bs is their bs is their bs whether in or out of their stinkin' household of bs. however, now you have the freedom to care for and help and love your daughter without any stinkin' bs except some stupid email that is nothing but stinkin' bs because that's all a household of stinkin' bs can produce. :)
