I don't know about the offshoots or the offshoots-splinters, :) but, I do remember TWI speaking of George Mueller. Made the book a must read. I am glad I kept it.
Funny, it was in relation to believing God's provision, and the orphanges were mentioned, but it was not in relation to provision in service to others. At least outside the "Household." I housed and sponsored enough people to know it was inside the group. ABS was a good illustration of that as well.
Ain't that the truth of the matter...........
Read George Mueller.........look at his believing. See, that's how you walk by believing.....yada, yada, yada.
No mention of love, concern and welfare of the kids through the years. No mention of the service to the community. No mention of the thousands of hours of monthly workload that such an undertaking entailed.
The twi a-g-e-n-d-a was to promote "the law of believing"......to promote the wierwille cult.
Selective scriptures........selective teachings.......cherry-pick here a little.......cherry-pick there a little.

It seems to me that everything a teaching ministry does or tries to do can be done from an easy chair - no sweat involved. The upper echelons of such "ministries" avoid sweat at any cost. Now-a-days, you don't even have to lift those heavy books....just alt/tab your way through the pages and then copy and paste.
On the other hand, I don't think there is anything that a service ministry does that can be done sitting down. And you can't do any of it without sweating... rivulets of sweat or sheets of it - - depending on the body part.
Funny thing, though - - it's easy for me to imagine Jesus Christ in both venues.
Actually.. the "overhead" is even less than one would think..
start with stolen goods, plagiarized works..
jl and crew left twi with a pretty big "package" of plagiarized goods..
and the idea of "research"?
spend the next twenty years, or longer.. rehashing pfal, way doctrine, reaffirming themselves they've got the greatest "package" since the earth cooled..
one decade after another..
"it's a living" I guess..
I've read a few of their "works".. and they are not substantially different than what was produced in the old ministry. Same old tired stuff.. just a different "package".
