I've been thinking about this for a while.

My feeling is that this whole thing about the Zerby properties is, in the words of Ross perot, "a dog that won't hunt."

So far, trolling through the public records has not produced any improprieties.

Jeanie's post is highly imflammatory and in my opinion pretty stupid.

My guess is that at the most, Maria my have been sending some monthly cash to her parents -- not large sums, maybe $1,000 or so. Berg did this with his realtives for years.

That kind of arrangement is, in the big picture, no big deal. Adult children help support their parents all the time. It is unlikely that it would provoke public outrage. Yes it pisses us off, but that's because we're exers who tithed to her.

So my point here is that perhaps there are other causes and efforts worth investigating or exposing or whatever. Like FCF.

I find the endless public speculation about the Zerbys somewhat offensive and reckless at times. In my view it has sometimes crossed the line into trash talking.

Beat up on Karen, sure. Jeanie is stupid, true. But the parents are old and have lost a grandson and friend.Can we cut them a little slack?

We need to advocate against the group with integrity. Responsibly.

What do you think?
