Re: The Way International
Here's a pretty comprehensive article on The Way International.

Boy, does this sound familiar?
(The founder) Wierwille claimed that on October 3 of the next year (1942), he heard God speak to him audibly. God told Wierwille that He would guide him to understand and interpret the Bible more accurately than anyone since the apostolic age. As a result, Wierwille claimed he dumped 3,000 of his theological textbooks into a trash heap and set on an independent study of Scripture.
A few years later he formally withdrew from the Evangelical and Reformed Church denomination. Over the next few years Wierwille took the title of “Teacher” as his theology increasingly deviated from orthodox Christianity, particularly his views of the Trinity and the nature of Christ.
Following his death, several former leaders of TWI leveled charges against Wierwille and TWI trustees including accusations of extreme authoritarianism, plagiarism, false teaching, and even adultery.
The movement continued to dwindle and in 1995 the annual Rock of Ages festivals were suspended. In 2000, amid charges of sexual improprieties, L. Craig Martindale resigned as TWI president and was succeeded by Vice President Rosalie Rivenbark.
"understand and interpret the Bible more accurately than anyone since the apostolic age"
Sound the alarm! SOUND THE ALARM! HEAD FOR THE DOOR!
