The traffic on this blog has increased over the last week. What does that mean? I do not believe that since the traffic has increased one automatically assumes that all readers are in agreement with the material. That is about as silly as thinking that just because one reads the “Communist Manifesto”- then you automatically become a communist. Some have expressed their thankfulness for the posts. Many have kept silent. The only thing that can safely be deduced from the increased traffic is that it confirms the curiosity in the community about Word of Faith Fellowship (WOFF), Jane Whaley and the operations of that group.
Several have asked if there has been a reply or comment or anything from WOFF in response to this blog or this week. Recently, there has been no official reply either written or verbal. What does that mean? It means nothing. WOFF may choose to ignore this forum all together. On the other hand, I may get some sort of reply. Whatever the reply, whether written of verbal, I will post it and allow others to learn what has been done or said. WOFF may choose another forum that they consider more neutral. Even if their reply is negative toward my material, I would post it here in the interest of presenting both sides of the WOFF experience. After all, the members of the community deserve as much information as possible in order to have a more complete understanding of the group living, growing and doing business among them.
Here are three posts about life at WOFF:
“The Church Service No One was to Talk About” link – https://religiouscultsinfo.com/?p=335 From the post on February 6, 2010- “Some even would kneel before her(Jane). Men and women of all ages made their way to the front. Jane soon allowed the “news” to start being told. The people were coming telling Jane that “God had shown them who their mate was to be..”
“We don’t do that “out from under authority..” link- https://religiouscultsinfo.com/?p=451 From a post on February 17, 2010, “The (Holocaust) teacher began by saying she had just gotten off the phone with Jane. (Jane was in Brazil (?)) “Jane was very grieved that you would do something like this without getting ahold of this in God. We don’t do things like that out from under authority. You need to find a place of repentance for even allowing the thought of going to that (job) interview.”
“Does a “Fear-Based” Message Really Work?” link – https://religiouscultsinfo.com/?p=1310 From the post on March 28, 2010- “After the initial message of “we can help you” and “we love you”, the WOFF message turns to instilling fears of “devils”, fear of being kicked out, and fear of making Jane angry.” This post is basic to the understanding of WOFF.
