Current Research by
The Way International
The Way International bills itself as a
“research and teaching”
ministry. “The Way International Research Books” section of
theway.org offerings seven insights into its research efforts: http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/rsr_currentResearch.htm
Another Cover-up: TWI
Hides V.P. Wierwille's Plagiarism
The biography of founder VP Wierwille on
The Way’s website states that Wierwille "consulted and worked
with" 14 theologians (“About the Founder Dr. Victor Paul
Wierwille,” https://www.theway.org/about-us/about-the-founder/ Dec 2021). Noticeably missing from the
list are three authors he heavily plagiarized. Some of the theologians are big
names in the liberal theological world, but hold beliefs that are radically
different from both Wierwille’s teachings and Biblical teachings. http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/vp_bioCoverup.htm
TWI Trying to Revive
the “Glory Years”
TWI plans to revive “the
Rock” and Way “Ambassadors,” two popular programs in the
1970s. Will it work? http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/tdy_reviveRockWow.htm

VIDEOS on
The Way International are uploaded to YouTube periodically, including:
Turning
Points in The Way International Part 1
Turning
points in the history, teaching and activities of Victor Paul Wierwille and The
Way International give insights into their character, integrity and origins.
Dr. John Juedes, who has followed The Way for four decades
offers many details, insights and photos in part 1 of this series. Wierwille
made many changes in the book Receiving the Holy
Spirit Today which reveal dishonesty and lack of integrity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=997qIplM1uQ&t=7s
Turning Points in The Way International Part 2
Turning
Points defined the nature, direction, and eventual collapse of The Way
International. The first two presidents, Victor Paul Wierwille and Loy Craig
Martindale, sowed the seeds of TWI's error and decline through plagiarism,
sexual misconduct, egotism and false teaching. This video picks up where Part 1
left off, with the appointment of Martindale as president in 1982 and
Wierwille's death of cancer at a young age in 1985. Christopher Geer's
"The Passing of a Patriarch" triggered a splintering of The Way Int, leading to a loss of some 95% of its followers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZB_2XQNu48&t=7s
Victor Paul Wierwille
and Receiving the Holy Spirit Today
The
origin and content of the book Receiving the Holy Spirit
Today reveals important things about the character and thinking of its author,
Victor Paul Wierwille. Dr. John Juedes offers revealing alterations found in
the various editions of the book, including photos. Wierwille plagiarized most
of the book from EW Bullinger and JE Stiles, trying to pass it off as his own
original work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfx_hTprUyk&t=2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfx_hTprUyk&t=2s
Finding More than
Abundant Life After The Way International
Many
people have been spiritually or emotionally harmed by being involved in The Way
International. Here we offer 10 tips for recovering from TWI and finding the
more than abundant life. It is noteworthy that 95% of everyone who were ever in
TWI saw its errors and cultic structure and left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUPubonKLFM&t=11s
Victor Paul Wierwille
and Literal Translations According to Usage
Victor
Paul Wierwille said that his "literal translations according to
usage" more accurately translate the Bible. Were they actually literal, or
were they free, contradictory and manipulative? Why does "Receiving the
Holy Spirit Today" say they are "free," while The Way's book "Living Word Speaks" say they are "not
free?" Why does "Living Word Speaks" say Wierwille's
translations "make no sense when read?" Here we closely evaluate and
compare several examples of his translations. (Why does Wierwille contradict
himself?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmea-c2dN80
Victor Paul
Wierwille, Author
Many
people regard Victor Paul Wierwille as an excellent researcher and author. We
explore the three main types of his writings- the 3 "S"s
which reveal important things about both the books and the author. The books
Jesus Christ is not God and Receiving the Holy Spirit Today are especially
useful in understanding his standing as an author. Why do the title pages of
books like Jesus Christ our Passover and Jesus Christ our Promised Seed list
Wierwille as author, when he didn't actually write them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-icww_7HqME
Aramaic Interlinear
New Testament by The Way International
The
Way International published an Aramaic (Peshitta Syriac) interlinear, concordance and lexicon. When the
readings of the interlinear are compared to the teachings of The Way's founder
Victor Paul Wierwille, the results are surprising. We also address the
background of George Lamsa and his "Lamsa Bible," and offer nine
convincing reasons that the NT was authored in Greek, not Aramaic. Why does The
Way's Aramaic-English Interlinear New Testament contradict Wierwille's book
Jesus Christ is not God? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuT6Xx3_G0o
Law Of Believing and Victor Paul Wierwille
The
law of believing is an important teaching in The Way International. VP
Wierwille taught that people cause good or bad results in their lives (wealth
or poverty, life or death) by their positive or negative believing. In
"Power for Abundant Living," Wierwille states bluntly that a loving
mother personally caused her child to die by her "believing." Few
recognize that Wierwille taught an atheistic system (although he believed in
God) that he learned from Albert Cliffe, not from the
New Testament. Those who accepted The Way's teaching had to conclude that
Wierwille caused his own early death by cancer, which is why The Way hid the
cause of his death from his followers (you can see a copy of his death
certificate in this video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27eD2XeK6WE
What Victor Paul
Wierwille's Power for Abundant Living class did Very Well
Victor
Paul Wierwille's Power for Abundant Living class did one thing very well, even
though it wasn't a stated purpose of the class, and participants didn't realize
what they were hearing. The class claimed to teach keys to biblical research,
when it was actually designed to.... (guess what?). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2quaAr-n98
What's Missing from
Power for Abundant Living and The Way of Abundance and Power?
Something
very important is missing from Victor Paul Wierwille's Power for Abundant
Living and The Way International's The Way of Abundance and Power classes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM8uzzPVe1s
Victor Paul Wierwille
Caused His Own Death
Victor Paul Wierwille died young. Why did The
Way International hide the cause of his death? Their fear of the truth stems
from Wierwille’s teaching on the Law of Believing, an idea he took from
Albert Cliffe. Check the facts, including a
screenshot of Wierwille’s death certificate, in this video. The Passing
of a Patriarch echoed the thought that Wierwille caused his own death, while
putting a spin on it. See our related video “Victor Paul Wierwille Says a
Mother Killed Her Young Son.” More details in the full video, “The
Law of Believing and Victor Paul Wierwille,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27eD2... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZg0CSqTv0
Victor Paul Wierwille
Says a Mother Killed Her Young Son
The car’s driver which struck the boy
didn’t kill the him, Victor Paul Wierwille says,
his own mother caused him to die by her negative believing. The Way
International continues to promote this idea and sell Wierwille’s Power for
Abundant Living book that teaches it. See our related video “Victor Paul
Wierwille Caused His own Death.” More details about the destructive side
of Wierwille's teaching in the full video, “The Law of Believing and
Victor Paul Wierwille,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27eD2... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCS6mI3EK1g
Victor Paul
Wierwille’s Sloppy Book “Jesus Christ is not God”
The Way International thinks that
Wierwille’s book "Jesus Christ is not God" is great research,
but even a brief look reveals that it’s sloppy, superficial and short. It
dismisses key Bible passages with just a sentence or two instead of seriously
addressing them. The book "Power for Abundant Living" also shows that
Wierwille made up things as he went along. More documentation of sloppy
teaching in the full video, “Victor Paul Wierwille and Literal
Translations According to Usage” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmea-... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EEbQftQZsE
Victor Paul
Wierwille’s Stolen Writings
Any middle school student knows that
it’s dishonest to copy from other books without footnoting them in the
paper itself. Plagiarism earns students an “F” and gets journalists
fired. Victor Paul Wierwille deceived people by plagiarizing large sections of
“his” books like Receiving the Holy Spirit
Today and Are the Dead Alive Now (even while claiming that he used the Bible
alone in writing them). More documentation of plagiarism in the full video, “Victor
Paul Wierwille, Author” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-icww...
and “Victor Paul Wierwille and Receiving the Holy Spirit Today” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfx_h... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJBD4hW6go
