[I was away for a day and a half, and returned to find scores of posts, most of which seem to involve JL. I don't have the time or inclination to read all of them, so I just skimmed post titles to try to get a sense of what I missed. Among all those threads I found the post above from Researcher. These are just a few things that immediately came to mind in response to her/his question.]


I am not aware that they have ever renounced the deceivers-yet-true doctrine, which means that nothing they say should be believed, including recantations, renunciations, denunciations, etc.

As for evidence, one thing that comes to mind are the personal testimonies in some of the recent tv programs that document adult/minor sex or other sexual abuses that occurred long after TF claims it stopped.

Another area I think worth exploring in this regard is FFing and ESing. If you look at some of Berg's writings, he says that those two "ministries" will be crucial to the survival of TF in the final days. They believe these are the final days. It might be hard to come up with direct evidence that they continue to practice this, but the circumstantial evidence is abundant to show that whether or not they are presently engaged in those activities, the door is wide open to them.

In fact, their Law of Love, in concert with their deceivers doctrine and other deviant interpretations of scripture, pretty much leaves the door open to any activity they deem to be "of the Lord" despite their so-called love charter or any supposed recantations or renunciations.

I'll keep me eye out for more direct evidence of these things.
