Man, the way Bergie boy and the entire movement bought into that John Todd conspiracy stuff at the height iof the RNR was amazing. I found myself being swept away with that for a while too. Then I realized that I was seeing the devil in eveythng, and had become obsessed by the illuminati cinspiracy threoy, sort of spellbound by tht John Todd stuff adn i had to let go of it. I thought my collins bible was produced by the illuminati since Todd said his family was originaly the Collins and they were all illuminati, everysingle one of them. Why would they do print the Bible? maybe there was a misprint somewhere that would lead me astray? maybe there was aspell and everytime I read my bible I'd get tricked into believing something false? maybe the Collins printed this Bble to look good in the eyes of the church? I started collecting stuff by the people who endorsed John Tood. I remember how I got ahold of some tapes where John Todd said in some long church sermon or testimony that he had insidde information from being in the illuminati and knew who the anti-christ wa, and he kept building it up for a punchline for hours and hours just like the way ole Bergie boy would, and then he satalled anf stalled until he finally said,...... it was none oth er than Jimmy Carter. HA ha haha. All these conspiracy kooks have a double safe or tripple-safe if their theory goes one way or the other. If things get worde in the world situation like in the middle east they can go "I tolda you so". If the media gets critical and debunks their conspiracy theory and pooh pooh's their testimony and inside information, they can go "it's the devil, working through the illuminati which is manipulating the press, " so no matter how it pans out they've got it made. I realized that this was some kind of cult only that it was endorsed by fundamentalist churces, and their literature was being sold in church book stores.
