The TWI Death Spiral Was Inevitable

The TWI Death Spiral Was Inevitable

This downward, corkscrew-motion of twi's "ministry" was inevitable.....inescapable.  Why?  Because God is not mocked.....and the truth, and fruit of one's life, eventually comes forth.  For indeed, wierwille was a "wolf in sheep's clothing" who cloaked himself with a persona and position that violated the very essence of Christian norms and the "Office of a Bishop."  He was every bit the man that the Scriptures describes of Simon in Acts 8:9-11.  The people had been deceived, for a season, and thought of Simon(wierwille) as -- "this man is the great power of God."

The fruit of twi's abusive, coercive actions have come home to roost.  The way corps has been abandoning this "twi-servitude" since 1977......wave upon wave, realizing how they were NOT bound to give allegiance to a pseudo-Christian (cult) outfit that cherry-picks selective verses while skewering others.  Nor, year after year, ignore the revisionist history of wierwille's past and proclamations of "greatness".....when his drunkenness, plagiarist, and contentious striving was divisive and demeaning to the body of believers.  And, martindale only added an exclamation point to it all.

Although this downward death spiral, this trajectory, has been happening for nearly four decades, it wasn't until the internet presence of Waydale (Paul Allen's website -- starting up in April 1999) that exposed the deception, manipulation, and exploitation elements at twi's highest levels for all to see.

·       Waydale gave a voice for victims to speak out.

·       Authoritarian rule was the intimidating heavy hand that smacked relentlessly.

·       Malignant narcissism was at the core of victor wierwille's drive for power.

·       Hidden in "leadership-language" -- the corps were to be brown-shirt followers.

·       Subjugation....to subdue the youth into a subservient body of worker-bees for twi.

·       Behind the doors of the corps indoctrination program were sexual predators.

·       Trustees, wives, corps coordinators, and others were enablers of these secrets.

·       Hiding behind Scriptures....was the subtle power of spiritual abuse in twi.

This last exodus of corps and others, the Revival and Restore Group (2016/2017) were the last of any "stronghold" that twi had on the infamous CORPSE PROGRAM.....LOL.  So, how does the board of directors respond to this???  More entrenched cover-their-a$$es.  And, put Donna Lombardi Martindale in the SEAT OF POWER AND CONTROL as CEO.....Chief Effing Officer, er.....Executive Officer. hahahaha Divorced and damaged by her husband from two out-of-court settlements regarding sexual abuse and predatory claims, Rosalie was able to slow-walk and incrementally move Donna up the ladder during a 20-year shell game.  I swear, this is SO OBVIOUS......and these people claim to be deeply-vested into research, r-e-s-e-a-r-c-h.  OMG

So, the activity on the field becomes dismal and the abundant sharing starts to dry up.  They push and push for the "remaining remnant" of corps (55-70 year olds) to hit the streets and WITNESS, WITNESS, WITNESS.  Yeah, like that's gonna work.  LOL.  Notice how the board of directionless idiots never look in the mirror to see what is causing the problems!?!?!   The authoritarians love this adulation and access to power over others. 

How do they attempt to fix these problems?  Obfuscation.

They direct their resources to muddy the waters and obscure THE EXODUS OF CORPS......to bring in young neophytes (new kind of life/energy) to teach/regurgitate wierwille's plagiarist class from Leonard, Power for Abundant Living Today.  Ugh.  For all their boasting of power.....wierwille and his yes-men walked in craftiness and handled the word of God deceitfully [II Corinthians 4:2].  What a clown show.  With today's internet......hopefully, most people will be able to sniff out this deception and exit stage left.

In the end, there is very little room at the top of the pyramid. 

·       Craig Martindale gets a $65,000 yearly pension.

·       Does Rosalie Fox Rivenbark Shumate get a $65,000 yearly pension?

·       How about Howard Allen?  And Wanda?  $130,000 total each year?

·       And, Donna is in line for this $65,000 yearly pension as well.

·       How many OTHERS???

·       Do the field corps get access to any of these pensions???

·       Or.....is THAT why the field corps are finally awakened to the con?

Wait till the young bucks figure out the scam.  Wait till they figure out that they are being fleeced of time, money and labor that goes into the pockets of the authoritarian cult leaders.  Then, they too will be bolting towards the exit doors.  Twi has always been a series of revolving doors and preying on the youth. 

When the way corps youth could NO LONGER BE EXPLOITED for rock of ages labor......the Rock of Ages STOPPED.  The Twi-Pharisees loved the annual pilgrimage to fill their coffers.

Me?  I got tired of the herd-fests and hypocrisy.

I don't think anyone below trustee level gets much of anything...David and Bonnie Weekly were shipped out to Australia to 'get things moving again' lol...they must be late seventies ? and renting a small apartment...oh but the local 'believers' did rock up and bring a plate of home baked cookies to show appreciation for their 'sacrifice'...so sad.

Martindale and his lifetime pension

 

 

Quote from DWBH:

The perjury raps alone would pull down what's left of their walls of Zion and prevailing woid. They have lied on and off the public record for so long the only thing they can do is STFU and hope the money lasts long enough to dump it on their most loyal gestapo and whatever family they haven't mark and avoided yet. You WILL NEVER GET THE TRUTH from twi. Rosie, Donna, Coward and Wanda Wierwille Allen, and da forehead himself, all wanna make it to their Gunnison Emeritus retirement home. Coward and Wanda have been there how long now? Da Forehead's name is still on the deed. He still gets his tax-free $65K pension too. How many of those salt'o'the earth, volunteer twig coordinators gave 15% of their gross income for 20 years.

• For most of twi-followers.....wierwille was seen thru the window of time 1972-1982.
• Throughout that short span, vpw's stage demeanor, voice inflection and plagiarized teachings were spotlighted.
• Way Publications and The Way Magazine amplified his teachings and air-brushed him with a patriarchal image.
• Valets, body guards, and the "Safety Department" safeguarded his sexual predation and lock-boxed his secrets.
• Enablers of old were given fiefdoms and elevated stature to keep the wierwille/man-of-gawd mystique burning brightly.
• Wierwille's "works of the flesh" were manifested in lust, pride, strife, division, drunkenness, adultery, wrath and more.
• Yet, the inner circle of the "ministry" (cough, cough)....rode the gravy train into retirement as the money poured in.
• Ten years of exponential abundance in twi......stripped from the true ministries of Jimmy Doop and Steve Heefner.

Even Mrs. Wierwille's book, Born Again to Serve, could NOT mask the deception and theft of B.G. Leonard's stolen class while endeavoring to explain in detail how wierwille broke from the denominational church system and rose to prominence.  Had wierwille come clean with his past sins.....and then, been able to walk with the power of God....some redemptive qualifiers might be in order.  BUT....wierwille could not and did not walk by the spirit of God, nor operate the nine manifestations that he took excruciating pains to define in his advanced classes.  No wonder, his advanced classes introduced all kinds of tangents and diversions to keep us from learning what was standing before us In Plain Sight.....wierwille was a false teacher.

Quote

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings. Although they are not directly mentioned in the Bible, there are parallels with the seven things God is said to hate in the Book of Proverbs. Behaviors or habits are classified under this category if they directly give rise to other immoralities. According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth, which are contrary to the seven capital virtues.

Skyrider,

Yours is an exquisite exposition of what so many of us witnessed and observed for YEARS.

"This downward, corkscrew-motion of twi's "ministry" was inevitable.....inescapable.  Why?  Because God is not mocked....and the truth, and fruit of one's life, eventually comes forth."

The putrid fruit of lust, pride, strife, division, envy, adultery and wrath came forth season after season.....having been seeded in martindale, geer, rosalie and donna.  Long after wierwille took his dirt nap, the envy and strife of the dueling banjos.....er, bandits kept these thuggery tactics in place towards the wayfarers on separate continents.  Adding another 12-15 years to the burdens, hardships, anguish and turmoil of those who'd been indoctrinated to "follow wierwille's salted and oiled leaders."  Egads!

So, where was this exalted "spiritual perception and awareness" that was deemed so highly prized in advanced class teachings and corps training? What had wierwille spawned???  The scriptures give us fair warning to beware of false teachers and blind guides.  Matthew 23......Pharisees, hypocrites, blind guides, two-fold more the child of hell than pharisee-wierwille, fools, those who cleanse outward appearances but rotten and evil inward, whited sepulchres, a house left desolate, etc.  Guess wierwille's little pep phrases and cliches didn't carry much muster compared to Jesus' warnings.

Under Rosalie's and Donna's rule, The Way International is now "a house in desolation."  No amount of fresh painting with Power for Abundant Living Today is going to keep the decrepit foundation, floor joists, walls and roof from caving in upon them.  When even the lowly, indoctrinated, newly-graduated corps get a taste of "headquarters" and want to bolt.....you know you've got a BIG PROBLEM.

It has been well-documented here at Greasespot, that Rosalie would get printouts of our threads these past 20 years.  So, imagine how staunch and prideful she and donna must be to NOT heed our open-forum discussions of wrong doings in wierwille's twi and now, theirs.  Will this new, shiny class do the trick for them and turn things around?  I seriously doubt it......but we shall see, won't we?
