I thought the Vandari thing would hang them. But when I brought it up with a FM member, I simply could not get past that "peace that passeth all understanding" barrier which Fam members literally blind themselves with.
This makes me think about the many times I did that when I was still a member. Something would come out, like the Davidito book, that my conscious would or could have told me was wrong, if I was listening to it. But I resisted questioning, (because that equalled doubting), I didn't need to understand everything (I only needed to believe and obey, and spell J-O-Y). Even more, the old-man, self, had to be passed away, otherwise I wasn't a true born-again-new-creature who's not conformed to this world. Even more, to be truely one of the elite, I needed to be sure to be renewed in the spirit of my mind every moment of the day ... How? ... By the Word, the Word, the Word ... Which was? ... the honey that dripped from the mouth of God to His brides, to us, the true Church. From where? ... from the writings of the so-called prophet David, the ML's, which came in such abundance year in and year out, supplied by Berg and the little birdy, Zerby.
(PS: The way I see it now: It was more like the vomit that oozed and drizzled like toxic waste from the lips of a perverse false prophet's alcohol stenched mouth ... the true legacy of Berg's writings.)
