THE ABRAHIM SCAM!

Posted by Demystifying Maria and Berg on January 16, 2006 at 14:57:13

It is important for people to know some things that happened behind the scenes in order to examine where their faith lies, or once did. Maria's mystical and abusive movement was built on lies from the beginning. An important part of getting followers cemented into the religion of the cult was to create mystical figures to make the cult "special" and keep people bound to it. All the teachings of spirit guides including the plagierizing of art by Tamar are just carrying on the tradition of the first big mystical lie of the family and that is the so called spirit helper "Abrahim" the gypsy king.
Though Berg did meet gypsies, Abrahim was fabricated while Berg was in a DRUNKEN STATE. He was MADE UP by Maria and another woman who was victimized by Berg in her youth as in Berg was having sex with select converts from the earliest days even while lower rank and file were told not to date or even hold hands. That was a huge contradiction.
Abrahim was created by Maria and this woman who remains anonymous because she has long ago left the Family and does not desire to be made a public figure in the arena of ex-cult members. I respect that since people do move on and deserve to. The past was hard for us all and some need to leave it behind to get on with their lives.
This bit of information is brought to you courtesy of those that want the truth to be known about the big lies the Family is based in.
As Maria and co. made up Abrahim and Tamar plagierized others art for supposed spirit helpers it is clear that the base beliefs of the Family, some of the core beliefs were complete FABRICATIONS. If you are following the Family, you are following a cult based on SMOKE AND MIRRORS and being FOOLED.

Addendum from Judy, Merry's mom:
======================
You might add that since many Mo letters were written while Berg was drunk and thought he was under INSPIRATION, while Maria was supposedly taking down his words, ONE MIGHT QUESTION THE LEGITIMACY OF THE EARLY LETTERS WHERE BERG IS SAYING MARIA WILL BE THE LEADER AFTER HE DIED. Was Maria using Berg's drunken stupor as a OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE HERSELF???
One of the reasons Maria was so abusive to Mene Mene (Merry) is because she feared that Berg was about to make possibly Mene Mene(Merry) and Davidito(Ricky) the next leaders and bypass her. Follow this logic: If Berg could dump Jane for a younger woman, why wouldn't he dump her for an even younger woman?
Berg's most powerful MOTIVATOR was SEX. He was a weak man who could easily at that time in his life, when he was already showing signs of DIMENTIA, be led by WHICH WOMAN WAS APPEALING THE MOST TO HIM SEXUALLY.
The old story, if a man cheats on his first wife, and dumps her, why wouldn't the next woman have to fear that this same man wouldn't cheat on her? Da!!! Because the guy doesn't have a CLUE WHAT REAL LOVE IS.
