Wow, we sure have some "smart cookies" in our midst! That commentary on the "robbin God" GN was thoroughly educational. You see, since my math skills were not honed in my schooling years, I had NO CLUE as to how the financial situation ran in the F. I just trusted in my shepherds. Yes, the Family is just too "spiritual" to know how to manage their financial affairs. That's why even so-called "worldly" Christian businessmen and ministries have down-to-earth managers who can manage their money. It seems that even Peter A., when he was just a lowly "right-hand man" dared to ask Berg if the F. could invest in something to make more money. Berg retorted, absolutely NO! I think Berg was mostly offended that Peter dared to question his ability at management and since he was known to have a quick temper, no one dared to question this again! Matthew (now in Peter's place) is a Taurus and is also quite a smart cookie. He was a CPA in the "system". But I think because he was totally humiliated in the GN's for his sexual shennanigans, he won't dare to think of "worldly" methods again! Their should be a seperation of spiritual and physical matters because we live in a physical and material world. I'm so proud of the second generation for proving the F. wrong!
