Blog or Article?

Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.

Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made.  Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.

The Victor Paul Wierwille bronze bust

Oh, hell you say?  YES, there is a ... make that a WAS a bust of Dr. Wierwille at one time.  I was in my final year of the 8th Corps, and some of us volunteered to help clean out the "old" Divine Design workroom in town, because they were moving onto the HQ grounds.  I don't remember if any others helping spotted it down in the trash pile, but it was unmistakeable.  My first urge was to "nab it" for myself; but then I asked myself why it was here in the trash pile.  Now, I should say at this point that I am pretty sure it was not the final bronze casting, but the shell that was made from the clay; into which one would pour the bust.  When you break that, you've broken the mold, and there would be no bust.  But did someone pour a bust before I arrived on the scene? --I couldn't know.  My best thoughts are that they showed the shell to Dr. Wierwille, and he gave the order to destroy it.  That's just because I know the man.  There are two Way Corps who would be able to substantiate this, and it's not my place to say who they may be.  BUT, the point is, that we don't worship a man, and IF by chance a bust ever does show up, 'Ala, Dead Sea scroll style, you have standing orders to smash it to bits!

  • If he were alive when these were produced I am sure he approved it. I do not think he ordered them to be destroyed. They were expensive and not that great if I recall. They didn't go over well. 

    I was just at Disney in Orlando. There are busts and artwork of Walt Disney all over the place.   Here is a link to one.

    Not iconoclasts though. Here is the definition. I think they may have just been an unsuccessful weird product for The Way. Count that among the many other bad decisions that were made. But that's another story.

  • Now on sale. Lifesized bronze bust.  Perfect for your grotto!  Vic called them "iconoclasts"!  (It's the Word, the Word, and nothing but the Word!)

  • Yes, there was a bust made of Victor Paul Wierwille and I am thinking it was for sale to the general public at one time. I know the family members all got one.
