And the scary part is they think they are doing God a service.

It's hard to believe the arrogance at times from the way international. They accept donations with the attitude that they are doing us a favor so we can "operate" the principle of giving by way of abundant sharing. And who knows where the money really goes?

I am beginning to think dude is just trolling at this point.

I heard frequently that the "way international owes you nothing." And at times it was straight out of Rosalie's mouth. This wonderful little cliche was said to be at the root of people being disgruntled with the way international because they had falsely concluded that the way international owes them something. Now, I could go on about what a church owes it's congregation, or what an employer owes it's employees in fiduciary responsibility, etc. On the flip side, I was told that "if the ship goes down then as way corps I go down with it." I was told that I stay committed to the ministry that taught me the word. And I could go on. I thought this would be a good place to set the record straight.

Indeed. And no doubt people mindlessly nodded their heads in agreement with this ignorance. I wonder if the idiot ever heard of generational poverty...where the grandparents are as broke as everyone else? or are all grandparents wealthy? just a brilliant solution

That's just brilliant!

Probably from residual conditioning.

Rosie will resign when they roll her out to the nursing home, probably not the either as she can always teleconference in to pronounce her edicts.

These types of threads have helped me before. And have PMd people when something they posted helped me, geisha779 recently in fact from the forgiveness thread.

The gutless worms she have promoted are likely too ignorant to realize they could vote her off the island, and definitely too afraid to try.

That's what he was too. His Dad was a executive at Crown Forklifts in New Bremen for many years. Even took heat from co-workers for being a wayfer. Now I understand he is marked and avoided.

Yep, and the way international, with it's poverty producing teachings, is fertile ground for these (and other) schemes.

At least it would be honest and not taking away from people who are poor by no fault of their own.

I find it ironic that they brag on their masterful command of the law of believing, that brings them a limitless supply of abundance and meanwhile they tap into every resource they can find that is set aside for the poor.

No, they get scholarships, pell grants, and anything else they can muster. I have heard many a proud way corps staff parent brag on their kid's free ride through college as God's abundance.

Yep, destined to perfect his evil methodology.

This episode is developing nicely. And HQ is masterful at paying their staff at less than 200% of the federal poverty level. That way when health problems arise they can run out their lifetime max on their lame insurance plan and then sign up for Ohio Medicaid. Hell, Gary Frederick will walk you right through the process just to make sure you dot your i-s and cross your t-s. Wouldn't want you to accumulate debt, they would have to terminate you at that point! College? Get good grades, volunteer for dorm steward, and apply for as many pell grants as your ink allows. No worries, your staff parents meager salary will more than qualify you for free money from Uncle Sam. Oh - why not call it God's abundance? Now we have decent people, who happen to be rank and file followers of the way international or lowly branch coordinators in Grand Junction, who are money starved due to the debt policy, staff salary, and/or from giving too much ABS. These poor slobs are bilked by a savvy little ..... Pffft, the average follower of the way international lives so far below par they are prime targets for people like this. The crooks can hide under the "think no evil" bologna, promise great returns, and run to the bank with pockets full of ill-gotten gains. The way international will always be full of suckers because TWI already has primed their followers to accept being ripped off in the name of God. Then Rosie and Donna rouse the calvary to come to the "believer's" aid! Pass the popcorn please. We have an excellent show.

How anyone can build an offshoot on this man's legacy is beyond me. I abhor Vic. He was a POS rapist, plagiarizing, scum bag. And that is being kind. May all of his sins rest squarely on his own shoulders.

I had speculated earlier that the way international's involvement was predicated by Donna Martindale's sister and brother in-law being one of the bilked investors - sounds like my speculation may be correct?

It really takes some serious ego to make a statement like lil Viv has made. So self important to think that God Almighty has charged him with the oversight of a busted ole', rip off of a busted ole' program. I've given it some thought, perhaps I won't be signing up after all.

I know, right? Strange they don't say.

Thanks for the post!

Well, if you follow VPW's, et. al, habit of blaming the victim - He wouldn't had to go and do that if you weren't standing in front of him, all young and firm. All joking aside, I am really sorry that happened to you. That is a really terrible thing for anyone to experience, but especially at such a young age.

Oh boy, golly gee! Where do I sign up? I just love this little gem from lil Vic's site.
