Hi Byron!
My Point-
In my opinion many points you raise are supposition. They are not really based on facts. Conspiracy theory is just that; Theory. It is not new information that iniquity happens. The perversion of M&P is a fact and the slippery nature of the family has enabled them to escape justice. They were close to being arrested in Canada in the early 90's. The family loved to dwell on the complicity and evil nature found in the world. In my opinion the real conpsiracy in the world is the uniting power of greed and avarice that proceeds from within our hearts.
At times you seem to me to be so caught up in the mechanics of it all to the point that the simplicity of how the world generally works escapes your attention. I believe the universal and timeless evils that exist in the world are reflective of the collective problems that exist in all our hearts. Power and wealth can be very corruptive and greed draws people together in very strange ways.
The bulk of the family's funding was and continues to be made made on the backs of its regular line membership. I know that from my own history and experience in the family. I also would like to mention that your style of greeting and using an instructive, seminar type tone in your posts often makes me feel like I am listening to an old COG class.
I visited your web site and felt the same way. I think the purpose of this board is not to instruct others but to share our hearts regarding our personal journey out of the Family experience. I am not saying this out of anger or any personal issues with you, it is simply how I feel about your postings. I also have to say that I have never heard Billy Graham publicly preach anything but the gospel. He could have become fabulously wealthy but chose not to. I may not agree with his actions in supporting past presidents and political leaders in the USA but overall I admire and appreciate the fact he has stayed true to the simplicity of Christ in his outreach to others.
In addition, your commentary on National Socialism seems to me to be skewered and lacking the objectiveness required to accurately assess the underlying realities that drove the movement from its begining to the horror of 55 million dead and a world on fire.
Sincerely
Rocky
