One tragic problem with current TF members as well as exmembers is that many have never seen an example or experienced what it means to be a christian. Many had that one experience with religion and thus had enough, never to be touched again.

You can read and absorb all the publications that ever was put out from the very beginning of TF and still have little or no idea of what it means to be a christian. No, reading most of those publications will drive Christianity even further away and out of sight.

Most exmembers know that Berg lived an extremely selfish and lustful life, for the most part sacrificing the life of his sheep for his own sinful desires in every way. In fact, so incredibly much of what Berg did and wrote was directly contrary to Scripture, so much so that it is near impossible to fully come clear all the stains. The very main pillars on which the structure of the Family was erected was in opposition to and forbidden in Scripture, or at best minor teachings or temporary things.

And so it continue to be today, whatever is left of it. Most current members who by and by realize the vastness of the error of these things cannot continue on as usual. Some however, continue to close their eyes to all the filthy teachings of both Berg (as well as Maria/Peter) and some allocate it to a time when God hopefully did not see what happened, or fooling themselves into believing that God does not remember or does not keep record of our unconfessed sins of the past. Still others consider it all optional and/or of little significance.

The tragedy – the way I see it – is this huge discrepancy between what took place in TF and what we supposedly were all about, and therefore how many have a skewed or inverted picture of Christ. Berg’s job was indeed to muddle the waters in order to confuse and lead astray, not to show us the Jesus of the Bible, but to introduce to us a life in homage to the selfishness of Satan, the mortal enemy of Christ.

Then the question is, knowing all of this, is it fair we equate what we learned in TF with Scripture, Christianity and with Christ? I don’t think so.

You wrote: (Quote) “I am not a Christian precisely because of all the ways scriptures are twisted to back up everything including rape murder and incest.” (unquote) How can that be a valid argument, for if you know the Scriptures had to be twisted to fit and to support these sordid purposes, then by the same token you also know they do not at all support those things, and hence not a good and precise reason to link to Christianity?
