Especially for those exers who are now Christians, of course still depending on what your time since leaving TF has brought your way… reading over some of the older MO-letters can be quite an upheaval. In fact I think it is a good cure, it sorts many things out.
It is quite unbelieveable what we were subjected to, the real nature of what we thankfully consumed as the very Word of God.
Listen to this one.:
(WE'RE STILL THE JESUS REVOLUTION! DFO 1592 18/8/83)
“1. I WON THEIR HEARTS!--It was, in a way, me & my Word, which of course came from the Lord. I & my Words came from the Lord & they believe in me not because they believe in the Bible, but they believe my words because they believe in me, because they believe what I say is from the Lord. And with a lot of them, it wouldn't make any difference if I agreed with the Bible or not, they'd still believe in me & what I have to say! So therefore, they don't actually need the confirmation or the corroboration of the Bible, they'll believe me anyhow.”
What effrontery, what insolent presumptuousness!! To Berg is the glory and honor forever and ever, according to him.
Yet what he is saying is true in the situation we were in, because – as he also admits here - he had pretty much thrown out the entire Bible for us, therefore we had little to measure with, there were no standards anymore, only as defined by Berg.
