This quote posted by Perry on GenX jumped out at me:
From 'The Truth About Angela's Death and Ricky's Suicide, Part 2'
29. 6) The promises and prophecies the Lord formerly gave about Ricky were conditional, just as personal prophecies for all of us are. As you know, the Lord's will and His promises being fulfilled are dependent on our choices. We are all familiar with this concept, since we as a Family came very close to forfeiting our place as the Lord's Endtime ecclesia, and He explained in great detail how our place would be given to another if we didn't do our part to become dropped out in spirit and the disciples and testimony of discipleship that we need to be.
I for one don't believe that the Family ever had the place as the Endtime ecclesia of the Lord, but even if they had ever had it....
When God explained in great detail how their place would be given to another if they didn't do their part & be the testimony they needed to be, did any of these great details spell out:
1.) Coming clean with a detailed apology re: the sexual, physical & mental abuse they institutionalized & inflicted on Family members?
2.) A voluntary out-of-court monetary compensation for all the crimes committed?
Surely God would not have forgotten these 'details' when telling the Family what kind of testimony they needed to be, right?
