AC04Ohio

They now have a combine Facebook profile I just read a recent blog post. Looks like they have a ministry of their own. Sounds like they became their own splinter group. I don't know how they're paying the bills but maybe the people who attend their fellowship give 10% of their income straight to them. Wouldn't that be something?

I'd assume they are and will always be IN. Oedings are Way Royalty... I guess the same could have been said of the Moynihans too though...

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new here. Who is "The Doctor?"

I lived in the suburbs of Toledo, Ohio (about a two hour drive from Headquarters) from 1989 to October 2009 before I left for Way D.

Hello! I was in Ohio for most of my life, raised by my two parents who joined the way in the 70's. I was a somewhat enthusiastic "believer" until my early 20s and then I dove in - went Way Disciple after I graduated college then moved in with ministers in Syracuse, New York. I left everything behind and I was so worried that I wouldn't be okay without "God's protection." But I have to say, my life is improving. I have a master's degree, a great job, a great car, and will soon co-own a home. None of that would have been possible if I was still giving away 10%+ of my income and afraid of debt. I feel like I have a brighter future than the Way Royalty (as we jokingly called them in college) who were booted recently. I have transferrable skills, I can talk like a normal person in society, and I no longer have to hide "my" religious views from others. Imagine that.

I remember some time in the early 2000's they were giving away multiple copies for free, emptying the stock at the bookstores and distributing them to fellowships.
