  2. Interesting that in the many years I was in TWI I heard about this paper but was never given the opportunity to read it. One would think that a paper that had such ramifications as this one purported to have would have been printed and carried in their bookstore. Maybe it was too much of a rant. Or maybe, as John points out, Wierwille became what he ranted against and his own paper would have exposed this. Yes, Wierwille was boisterous when he was the rebel, the reformer, the anti-establishmentist [is that a word?]. Maybe this is why he resonated with the hippies. But when he set up his own establishment there was no toleration for rebels or reformers to his way. He describes the missionaries as “domineering” with “inflated egos” makeing “slaves” “native stooges” and “yes-men” out of those they dominate. He says that if Indians are not totally submissive, missionaries “harass…. Recapture… persecute… annihilate” them. Is this not an apt description of TWI?
