Farmer:
Thank you for saying so.
I really like all your posts.
You are very thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and seemingly unflappable when people try to attack you.
You persuade others well, it seems; at severl levels of their "brainwashing": or whatever you perfer to call it--more like brain-and-soul-dirtying.
A little off-subject: I see a friend and his wife, every week, who minister in "assisted care" (old folks' homes). They see Stephen Bruce Ferguson on a regular basis, while he cares for Jane Miller Berg in her dotage, here in the Houston area.
Stephen, for those who don't know, bigamously "married" Mother Eve/Jane Miller Berg when DB threw her over for Karen Zerby. He was infamous for kicking in doors, and threatening people with his Karate. In one exchange with a person who would regulary post right after I saw them in Katy, Texas at the local mall where they clowned for about $200-400 a day at "Books a Million" at the Katy Mills Mall, I told him to please tell Stephen I had pursued my training since leaving in '74, and would give him a "good sparring" if he liked, and still felt like bullying and threatening people! I was obviously joking at the time; this kid had starting acting all tough; when I asked him, in front of his balloon customers and their kids, and the stroe managers, some poignant questions about the cult his money went to.
The ensuing posts sounded just like this "Ready Freddy" clown; speaking of clowns!
Anyway, Ferguson conned this friend of mine and his Chinese wife into getting him and the Star Family Singers over to China, as part of an outreach of the church I attend (a very normal Vineyard church--the REAL Jesus movement branched into Vineyard and Calvary Chapel).
When my friend sent me a mass email (to all the church, where I attend) about the ministry going on, I contacted the pastors, told them about this and other exer websites, and my former membership.
Another member, who led worship there for quite a while, introduced me to the church back in the mis '70s, so it was well-received--funds were cut off that had been slated for Stephen in this "Invade the Churches" attempt.
Yay! I applaud every lttle victory over TF that I hear of!
