I always had a hard time reading letters completely, especially ones that were just "prophecy", I'd always find myself skimming and trying to come to the conclusion, etc. So I can't honestly say I read every sentence of this post, either!
But this phrase jumped out at me in the post:
"Ex-members....Accept Dad and Maria as God’s anointed prophets of the End"
Huh? That's ridiculous. Even ex-members I know who are not virulently anti-Family, or those like me who have mixed emotions on the subject, do not believe that Dad & Maria were anointed prophets of the End. That kind of thinking was the first thing to go for me, I don't really think I ever really totally swallowed all those dumb "David classes" and all that, and I kinda think I am not an exception on this one.
