everything we learned was crap. Even the so-called spiritual christian concepts passed on from Virginia brandt berg. Many ministers and churches are nearly as guilty of controlling their flocks through these type of badgering concepts. Even being self-less and always positive and giving your all to God ideas. A lot of that is based on pastors wanting to control their flocks and keep them tithing and coming to their church. It's their hook and berg kept it for his own puposes because it worked well. We are all born with a desire to take care of ourselves or else nothing would get done and everyone would be in la-la land trying to give their very sustenance to the guy next door. It simply wouldn't work. What we learned was all backwards and upside down. Didn't berg have a dream about the upside down world?
