This is a revised post updated in 2025 because I removed the travel blog that used to be on Blogspot.
Hi readers, I’m just popping in this Saturday to let you know that besides subscribing to my blog that you’re reading right now, you can find more of my writing on the FREE site called Blogspot. Here’s what’s there…
About Undertow and The Way International™
There are posts about Undertow and about The Way International™, the fundamentalist Bible-based cult I was wrapped up in from 1970 to 1987. Its headquarters is in New Knoxville, Ohio. Those essays cover cults, fundamentalism, and issues concerning The Way’s founder, Victor Paul Wierwille (1916 – 1985), a man I now believe was an outstanding con artist. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
Anyway…years ago I published some of that material here on my own blog, but I hope that by having it out there on Blogspot it will get before more people’s eyes.

The Way … just so you know
The Way International™ is still in business today, still making money from Wierwille’s plagiarized materials. He is still lauded as their “man of God” despite an avalanche of damning evidence about his plagiarism, sexual abuse of trusting followers and of power.
If you want to know more, read Undertow and other former-insider books such as The Cult That Snapped: A Journey Inside The Way International™ by my friend, Karl Kahler and Losing The Way by Kristen Skedgell, although sadly hers is out-of-print; it’s hard to find used copies anywhere but it’s possible.
Also informative are YouTube videos by John Juedes. He was never a follower of The Way, but he has tracked it and researched it for years. I quote a newsletter of his in Undertow that shows how Wierwille stole another man’s book about the Holy Spirit and claimed it was his own original work.

Thanks for reading!
