Apologies for the elapsed time between my initial posting on the
Way and this follow up.(Christmas threw me off a couple of weeks) I
would also like to thank those people that shared their knowledge of
the Way with me which I used as the main source of information contained
in this posting.
My initial posting was a request for information concerning the
Way International. The following will be an attempt to briefly
cover the Way's doctrines as it was conveyed to me.
1. They do not believe Jesus was/is God.
2. They do not believe in the Trinity.
3.They believe that only their founder (Paul Weirwille)
can give correct interpretation of Biblical teachings.
4. They have control of the gifts of the Holy Spirit
and its manifestations.
This is just a general list taken from the letters I received
so take it as you will. I did notice that all the letters I received
except for one used the word "cult" to describe the Way
International. I found that rather interesting in itself.
Apparently the Way is closed to the public except for their recuiting
sessions and then you have to pay $100 to go through their course of
study to be a member.
Thanks again to all of you that took time to reply to my request
for information on the Way.
