When we returned to the States in 1988 because of Berg's directive that the fields were getting too full of what we found out later were "weaker" sheep (after he blasts the couple in IRFers Beware in 1980 for not being on the field - geeze), we started getting homes here in the states and trying to stay "full-time" or keep our status in spite of being deemed weaker brethren. Anyway, Berg came out with another letter that we in the full-time homes were not to treat the members who were living on their own as bonafide brethren. Of course, we could collect their tithes, and that was most important, but we couldn't treat them as brethren or trust them, they were backsliders even though we didn't say that to their faces. We were lying to our own members, it shocked me.

Everything in the F. is bogus and a scam. That's why it's impossible to trust too many of them, and especially those in such highly important leadership roles. We who have lived it understand the mindset.
