Get
out of Debt
|
This
letter is Martindale's opening shot in the war
against the Way Corps that will last until 1997
when he presents the "Way Corps II" -
the second generation - Corps who are supposedly
totally loyal to him. The letter tells the Way
Corps to get out of debt or get out of the Corps.
The letter accuses many Way Corps of being
"unproductive". This is the beginnings
of the current "Debt Policy" that The
Way now adopts where normal Way followers may not
have debt - mortgages, student loans etc. are all
banned. This letter was written in May 1994.

Letter
from Martindale to the Way Corps announcing a
witch hunt for any homosexuals within the ranks.
This letter features very explicit descriptions of
homosexual sex acts and bestiality. Martindale
sets the stage for an inquisition-like purge
within The Way where a mere "genuine
spiritual suspicion" is enough to bring
someone in for interrogation. This purge led to
hundreds being thrown out of The Way. This
letter was written in July 1994.

Bribery
Letter
|
LCM
wrote a letter to the Way Corps on bribery. This
letter eventually led to the "No Gift
Policy" for all Way Corps. He had no option
but to include himself in this mandate and so had
the two pages removed from the WAP class
coordinators guide (see above document). This
letter warns of the dangers of accepting gifts
from Way followers as those gifts might in fact be
bribes of some sort. This letter written in March
1997.

Financial Cutbacks

financial emergency gave Martindale his excuse to
get rid of Howard Allen the Secretary Treasurer
and replace him with a Way Corps person - John
Reynolds. This emergency has led to The Way trying
to sell most of its properties in New Knoxville
and sending the Way Corps back to secular work and
cutting pay rates to 10 percent below the
established "genuine need" of its
staffers. 1998.

Letter
from V.P. Wierwille
|
A
1983 letter from V.P. Wierwille stating that it is
possible for the Christian believer to have
fellowship with and "talk" to Jesus.
This
letter clearly demonstrates one of the many
differences in what Martindale (current Way
president) teaches and what the founding president
V.P. Wierwille taught.
Martindale
teaches that those who "talk to Jesus"
are like an ass in heat and are opening themselves
up to spirits of whoredoms. |
