I don't think the boards here can be so clearcut, as I interpret your post to hint at...in reference to Berg...I think I was clear over all those years posting here so that hopefully you didn't miss my stance either...
what the website might miss is some good to th core/point..."heavy"articles...which give a good and thorough synopsis on certain issues...relating to Berg...TFI...instead we have myriads of posts and...who has the time to read that all...but many most?? points have been covered or hinted at.
So to me it's not just a board "venting" aqny anger towards TFI and Berg...I don't like the term survivor for myself...though it applies to others...but there was plenty to overcome...
One of my main issues/agendas has been to encourage others and clinging to it myself...that Christianity after TFI can in fact be better...to not give faith up at any cost...at any time...this is "my burden"
Another big issue is for me...the "mechanisms" of deception...Berg was heavily deceived and deceived others...us
However ...there are plenty of "other operations" in the world...& in history...where these evil mechanisms were already at work...
So exposure is necessary and for all that I have my personal remedy...faith in Christ...the one who overcame the world
My post about the question whether you or anyone would have killed Berg if the opportunity were given...apparently not everyone appreciated or understood...
The extremes are simple...joining Berg's outfit or "killing him"...even if only in "mind-movie"
I am nowadays on neither extremes and never thought about that particular "murder-movie"...
I am sad/was sad, that Rick resorted...had to??? resort to that
I agree, we can be very thankful for this website...for our own sake and hopefully it does some good to others still too.
So I hope that you can meanwhile "sink" your doubts...whether I am determined enough against Berg's life/model/example and teachings...if not...pls. ask...but I must admit...it leaves some sadness...for not being understood about it...
