I think it is also good to have a website where you can relate to specific things with other exers that you deal with as a result of that group. Do you have that? Does M.W. have many adherents and is he still actively proselytizing?
I have a few ex-ers to talk to, but most are pretty tired of it and just want to put it away.
Woroniecki always had a small dynamic core group of about 10 that he would stay in touch with, but that doesn't mean there haven't been thousands who have been through his grasp and have been damaged by him to some extent.
Woroniecki is too contentious to maintain a following. What happens is, Woroniecki eventually loses control of the disciple which is totally invalidating to Woroniecki. So he psychologically abuses the follower into thinking he's the one at fault and going to hell. If Woroniecki has his way, then the follower spends the rest of his life worried that he's going to hell.
He is still preaching outdoors, but income has been miserable that he has been forced to work. I heard he got fired from a Las Vegas Home Depot after only two weeks of working there last year. He's figured out that if he can get his sons and daughters working, he can be supported by them. (See 1 Tim 5:8). What he does is lay low in Las Vegas or Henderson, and his kids work in a Chuck E. Cheese until they can afford to hit the road again.
