Message from West European Shepherds...

Posted by Freeatlast! on January 26, 2006 at 07:09:10

NOTE TO ALL HOMES FROM THE WEST EUORPEAN REGIONAL DESK -- 20/01/06



Dear Ones,



God bless you! We love you very much and pray that you've had an inspiring week. We want you to know that it's been wonderful working along side you this past year, and we pray that this New Year will be even better.



With this note, we wanted to explain that David (of Dove), who has recently started sending around an email with his thoughts and feelings on the Family is no longer a part of the Family. His wife, Dove, is still reporting as a Fellow Member. Since there have been questions about David's writings, and since we're not sure exactly how widely circulated his email has been, we wanted to clarify this point.



We will be keep you all in our prayers, and know that the Lord will continue to work miracles on your behalf as you claim them through the keys. In closing, here is a key promise we're claiming for you.



"Claim the keys for your health and inspiration, for your channel to Me, for the miracles you wish to see in your life and in the lives of others.

I will not fail you as you manifest your faith in My precious gift to you--the keys of power and victory."

Much love,

The WE RD

Dear Family members,



God bless you! and I hope this finds you all in health.

Re. the email you have recently received, I would like to clarify just one point and it is this.



My writings are not against the Family, they are in fact against many [not all] of the Family Doctrines, big difference.



In fact if you are brave enough to have a look at what I have to say you will find that by and large they are in fact a plea, in particular to Maria, to get back to some form of sanity.



For example look at the latest 'Power of the Keys' Doctrine, it's virtually eliminated the name of Jesus. [Take a look at your own bulletin boards, Family prayer requests, announcements, etc.] How often do you see the name Jesus?

He is now referred to as our 'precious husband', or 'the key giver'.



Well I don't know about you especially some of you guys, but to me Jesus is not so much my husband, he is though [More importantly] my Saviour.



As the bible rightly says there is power in the name of Jesus and the fact that the Family does not use, or rarely uses that name any more should set alarm bells ringing.



[Philippians 2:10-11] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord.



[He himself referred to his disciples as his brethren, so if you are going to give Jesus any earthly name what so ever, then Big Brother would be more appropriate] [John 20:17]



You see it wouldn't be so bad if this and other doctrines were just a game and not to be taken too seriously, but I am afraid to say dear Family members that this is not a game.



If you and your Family continue to embrace, believe in and practice false doctrines you may well be in for a shock, you may well find to your hurt that you are not as protected and under the shadow of the almighty as you thought you were.



I learnt that the hard way, it is my belief that God is trying to show this to Maria through the deaths of Ricky and Angela, if she will only open up her heart to the truth.



And that my dear brothers and sisters is what I spent a great deal of my writing trying to get across. I have great respect for you dear hard working people, especially those of you who represent the grass roots, which of course is the majority of you.



I would again ask you to have a look at my writings and not go on some 'here say' that I am against the Family - http://steve1.wordpress.com



I know most of you are not even aware that Grandpa tried to penetrate [Have sexual intercourse with] [Commit incest with] his 13 year old grand daughter Mene.



[Leviticus 18:10]The nakedness of thy son's daughter thou shalt not uncover.



Don't take my word for it go on line and see 'The Judgement of the Lord JUSTICE Ward' or ask Maria herself to deny it, she won't because she was present at the time.



These things were not done in a corner.



The question you have to ask yourselves is, if this is true would you yourself do it, or like most of us find the very thought abhorrent? If that is so what do you do with that knowledge, where do you go with it?



This is no doubt a difficult question to ask yourselves, Jesus said the truth shall make you free [John 8:32 ]



Contrary to what Grandpa taught God is not in favour of incest, and many other sexual acts that he said were now sanctioned by the Almighty, sorry guys but it just ain't so!



I love U.



Much love David



P.S. Recently I sent Dove an email as if it had come from Mama and Peter.

It was all about the creative power of the crystals 'Crystal Power'.

Over a period of time I also changed a few of the Family prayer requests substituting the word 'crystal' for the word 'key'.

The result of this was that Dove swallowed this deception hook line and sinker and became a firm believer in the 'creative power of the crystals'. [Found it very inspiring]

It actually took me some time to convince her that I had in fact created this new doctrine,

my wife is not stupid; she is in fact what I would call an average Family member.

The fact is in all honesty if such a thing came to you from Mama and Peter by way of a G.N. you would no doubt believe it also, asking no questions.



If this is so do you not think it would be wise to seriously ask the following question –

'What is the yard stick I personally use to measure truth or fiction with?'



Well my dear brothers and sisters one way of measuring the truth might be to get the bible out and see what it has to say. [Can't do any harm can it?]



Another thing that might help is to lobby for some freedom of information act to be passed, it's very sad that you are able to access your information from only one source.



How can you ever be able to reach an informed decision if you only ever get your information from one source it's just not possible. Sounds a lot like a totalitarian regime, doesn't it?
