I don't invite that onto the thread, but I'm curious about the name of the "church" or sect, or trailer off some dirt road, back in the woods that preaches this garbage.
I haven't read all the reports, if it was named before, someone point me to articles about it. Are they in Harris (Houston) or Galveston County?
Do a web search on "Michael Woroniecki". He was Russell's mentor.
Here is a snippet from an article I found about him:
Write the traveling evangelist at the Oregon drop box, and one receives a calligraphically addressed packet. It contains an audiocassette, carefully wrapped and taped in paper toweling, and labeled by hand, "How to Study the Word of God," as well as handwritten, personal letter inviting one to "share more personal things."
There are also musty newsletter and brochures -- "The Perilous Times," which claims "God says the source of a sin's power is The Law and your deep anxieties and fearfulness can be traced to The Devil's right to your soul when you die," and a "Hi! How ya doin?" pamphlet explaining that the Woronieckis have lived full-time in an RV for twenty years, going through three buses, all renovated themselves.
"All six of our children were born 'at home' in a different state. My wife is not a contemporary 'witch' sacrificing her children for a career." Michael Woronieckis adds, "She is awesome and submitted to me."
A brochure called "The 'Witch', The 'Wimp'" is also included. "Before I obeyed God," Woroniecki writes, I too accpeted the teachings of darkness from this 'advanced' culture on 'womens [sic] rights'. I was stunned, but thrilled, to discover God's 'light'. At birth a woman inherits the contentious nature of Eve and a man is born with the passive nature of Adam."
Women, he teaches, are witches, while men are wimps. "The fury, for being labeled a 'witch' only serves to further expose the blinding power of your arrogant self-image.
Unless you face this SIN NATURE you will be tormented and blinded by its vexations. Your blindness renders you STUPID to the obvious. You are an emotional 'basketcase'!"
