New FYI note:
I subscribe to an apologetics/research service. A couple who ministers in cults and apologetics just sent out this follwing message regarding a new webpage at WWRN.org :
-------------------------------------------------
Greeting everyone,
Janet and I have returned from our vacation. We met some wonderful people, have seen the Lord open doors, and have seen him minister grace and mercy to those who longed for it. We serve a wonderful Savior, whose love for people goes far beyond what we can fathom. As Christians, allowing him to love people through us is the best apologetics tools we have.
If we owe you an email and you haven’t heard from us by now, please contact us again.
That said, from time to time people on and off the AR-lists send us links to news items posted at WWRN.org
That’s very kind. However, please note that the site in question is operated by The Family International (Children of God). That explains the site’s links to CESNUR (a cult apologist organization) and to the Religious Movements Home Page (set up by the Jeffrey K. Hadden, a cult apologist), as well as the posting of material by cult apologists like Massimo Introvigne and J. Gordon Melton.
It also explains why the site does not clearly state who or what is behind it.
Finding out is easy enough. A ‘whois’ search (for example at GeekTools.com) shows the address of the site’s registrant to be:
PMB 102 -- 2020 Penn Ave NW
Plug that line into Google (without surrounding quotes), and you’ll find the address belongs to The Family International.
Another site run by the same folks is
http://myconclusion.com/ “Opinions, responses, and views by current second-generation members
of the Family International (formerly known as the Children of God)”
