Charlene Lamy Edge Speaks about The Way International

Greetings, readers. In 1972, The Way International published a book, The Way: Living in Love , by Elena Scott Whiteside. I call it TWLIL. The Way now says they republished it.

Greetings, readers. If you are new to my Blogspot account, welcome. Today's post is not pleasant, but I think it’s important—a list and descriptions of source materials presenting first-hand accounts of women who say they were sexually abused by Victor Paul Wierwille, founder of The Way International (1916-1985). He was married and had five children.  Note : Frankly, with the Epstein files in the news every day, this topic in my personal history has come back to haunt me. I feel compelled to speak out again on this outrageous and damaging aspect of my Way experience. There are more adjectives I could use, but those are en...
