It Is Already Written...............by the blood, sweat, and tears of GreaseSpotters

The Wierwille Legacy: Who Will Write The Book? When will someone from the inner-sanctum cult finish writing "Volume II" [1961-1985]......extending Mrs. W's biography of her husband's 44 years? Who, from the inner-circle of Wierwille-days is going to come forward and write "Wierwille and His Secrets"...........a tell-all of deception/corruption? Once again, twi flaunts their "75th (cough cough) Anniversary Celebration"..........with sycophant singers of early daze, but they CAN'T seem to finish "The Wierwille Legacy" in book form. What is wrong with this legacy.....er, picture? Mrs. Wierwille's book was published in 1996 and gave details up to the point of moving to the farmstead in February 1961. The book ends..........And? Why can't one of those spiritually-rocketed "all nine all the time" finish documenting wierwille's life? Aspects of Mrs. W's Book On the flip side...........is there any one out there from wierwille's inner-circle that has the fortitude to write about what went on behind the scenes, back-stage, in wierwille's cult? Sure, we have a great book written by Charlene Edge that details plenty on her recruitment into twi and later, the glaring "biblical research" aspects that she ran up against........but what about someone from wierwille's inner-circle? Of course, I don't expect a Chris Geer to divulge wierwille's lust, drunkenness, sexual predation or bullying......but what about someone else? You mean to tell me that thru all those years every one of those yes-men are going to take these secrets with them to the grave? Now, the splinter group guys.........Geer, Lynn, Finnegan, Wrenn, Burton, Seed, Clapp, etc. have a stake in bolstering the wierwille image and legacy. They feed off it. It is in their interests to not "rock the ship" or "bite the hand that feeds them"........I get that. But, amazing the number of corps leaders who've stayed silent..............scroll down, Why The Silence? Why the silence?..............indoctrinated / sycophant to the cult doctrine Why the silence?..............complicity to the deception / sexual predation Why the silence?..............don't speak ill of "the man of God" Why the silence?..............life moves on / quit looking back Why the silence?..............having "The Word" taught was paramount Why the silence?..............other reasons ??? THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.................. If wierwille / twi was so great...............where are ALL the people? What about ALL OTHER WAY PRODUCTIONS at "75th".........not just Claudette, Debra, Trudy, pppppfffffffttt. Some 30,000 who are NO LONGER with twi, the mother-ship of wierwille's making And, the wierwille legacy is UNFINISHED.........................WHY?

Here, let me help get the ball rolling..............on Volume II Aug 1957..............Wierwille resigns (fired?) from Van Wert church Dec 1957..............Twi Begins its independent endeavor 1958-1960............Classes run and Troy/Piqua want hq in their area Feb 1961...............Wierwille moves hq to farm / first en masse exodus 1961-1966.............Slow going......more classes / most drift away 1967......................Filming of PFAL / Too intense lighting and other flaws 1968,69.................Attempts to sway Hefner/Doop and "Jesus Movement" to twi 1969......................Wierwille pulls rank and funnels all monies to hq 1970......................Seeds of Way Corps and its indoctrination program 1971-1976............Corps Program.......failed, then restarted.....gaining 320 in 6th corpse 1977.....................Attempt to re-film pfal at PFAL '77........failed Fall 1977..............Harry Wierwille dies.....and Don/Howard put on BOT 1978.....................More and more corps are leaving twi / wierwille starts writing corps letters 1978.....................More sexual predation......any outspoken women disparaged and sent packing 1978....................Three 8th corps do "rogue" research / wierwille upset and redefines *research* 1978....................Lots of "cop out" terminology and guilt/threats 1979....................Adv Class '79......more pushback on cults / deprogramming 1980,81...............Major push for Camp Gunnison/Rodeo School/Cabins financed by sunset corps 1981....................Ambassador One flights to bring people to hq and new osc office facilities 1981....................Wierwille gets more testy with his corps / drambuie in coffee is common knowledge 1981....................Calls 8th corps guy possessed in BRC.........yet, NO CASTING OUT OF SPIRIT 1981....................Never witnessed ONE actual significant operation of "big 6 manifestations"......NOT ONE 1982....................Retirement......Living Victoriously......wierwille served for 40.....er, 25 yrs as twi prez 1983....................Vp stays in background as martindale ascends to tout his "spirituality" 1984....................Vp spends lots of time at Indiana Campus going thru book "Bedside Manners" 1984....................More health issues / prosthetic eye 1984....................Publically confronts trustees on how they are "getting off the word" 1984,85...............Sound Out '84........Harmony of the Gospels at Grand Ole Opry 1985....................Demise.........and heads to Gartmore to be with Geer May 1985............Wierwille dies and is buried in the Garden of Living Waters There ...........THAT WAS EASY

Human , I’m with ya on all those...”Leon the Professional “ written and directed by Luc Besson - - check it out - - some of his movies are about empowering women : Lucy, the Fifth Element (probably ranks hi on my all time favorites), La Femme Nikita and remake Point of No Return. Yeah Grace , Harrison F is good as an understated actor...I like the first Indiana Jones Raiders - and the last one - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - it’s jam packed with great scenes starting out with Indiana surviving an atomic blast rolling end over end in a lead-lined refrigerator to the crystal skull aliens wrapping up the end a-la-another dimension or something....check out Harrison F in “Presumed Innocent “ - good thriller for sure... I like Rocky 1 and 3 the best...I endure Rocky IV just to watch James Brown perform! I do think the last one “Creed” is really good too - there’s kind of a symmetry with Creed and Rocky 1 .

Human, SotL scared the Hell out of me!! Too gory for me, but I thought Anthony Hopkins deserved his Oscar! What an actor!!

Grace you're talking about the good stuff now....the 70's a great year...like a fine wine ....again not to brag or anything but I have "Chinatown", and have bought Mel Brooks collection on Blu-ray, as well as "Godfather" collection on Blu-ray !!!! I think I need to invest in a good popcorn machine now

Grace, I LOVE "All the President's Men" - I had a regular copy of it on DVD - but then when they came out with a 2 disc special edition on Blu-ray I had to get that - has a bunch of extras, documentaries, etc. "Wizard of Oz" is a GREAT movie - I loved it ever since I watched it as a little kid

If I wrote it there’d be a lot of folks who would probably think i plagiarized II Peter chapter 2. II Peter 2
