Many people benefited much more than they suffered during their experience with TWI. I know I did. But Wierwille WASN'T responsible for that. The credit for the good things that happened to people belonged to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. But, just as Wierwille plagiarized the scholarly work of others, he wrongly attributed the credit for all the benefits to himself and his damned class. Wierwille STOLE the credit... from GOD... from start to finish! Wierwille was MORE of a monster than any of us CAN make him out to be! He twisted God's Word so that he himself could drug and rape God's daughters. He violated God's Word in order to rationalize, rationalize, rationalize away his culpability for the evil he perpetrated. When Wierwille presents himself at the judgment seat, he's gonna have more than a little "'splainin'" to do. And rationalization won't do him one whit of good then. If his rationalizations make the evil he did "good enough for me," then I deserve his same reward. Love, Steve

My personal feeling is that Wierwille was probably psychopathic. As such, he was able to recognize, on a cognitive level, that his behavior was unacceptable, but emotionally unable to feel any remorse or empathy. I think it was Sunesis who once posted about an incident she witnessed where Wierewille feigned instantaneous outrage over something that had happened and then turned right around and glibly confided in her that he was putting on an act. I think he knew what he was doing was wrong. He just didn't care. IMO

Once had a guy defending on this topic and he said "Well, if we had to wait for someone to be perfect we'd never get anything done dernit!" Bingo. Sermon over. Pass the hat Padre, all we need now is beer money. People don't want to leave well enough alone, be happy with what they've got and be willing to earn what they don't have and move the Living Word of Christ on their own get up and go, people like VPW (and he's not alone in this respect by any means) choose to build a profit earning Jesus-Inc. business to provide the engine for their "ministry", basically financing their own dream machines and getting a livelihood to boot. But it turns into a gnarly birds nest of greed and creed - look at the Weirwille heritage - not a one of them has a right to their family farm, property or anything on it. It's "God's" now - all for the good of the "ministry" that continues to provide museum space for his legacy. Which is great because WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH GOD REALLY NEEDS FARMLAND IN OHIO. Sad, tragic, weird, bizarre. The most important things have already been done (by God in Christ) - it's in man's self-made maniacal machinations to build a better god-trap that he's always catching his tail. Period.
