I posted this on Crossfire today:
To the Berg apologists: for me he himself destroyed any good and value in ALL that he taught because so many are still suffering right now today as a direct result of his iniquity. --Think about those who suffered the sexual abuse as children. And extreme unmerciful disciplinary abuse by all the teachers and parents who followed Berg's "Last State" example. Didn't we emulate what the "prophet' did?
The fact that the pain GOES ON means that the apologists can't compare Berg to Solomon etc. as has been done in past posts.
I live with the pain and anger that I deserve for having followed and believed in Berg and in the so-called life giving Words of David... like "The Last State", or "The Devil Hates Sex"..., "Sex with Grandmother"... the incest propogating portion in "Questions and Answers". The list goes on and on and it makes me sick so I need to stop, but sometime maybe someone who is stronger than I am in their recovery can make a more thorough list of Berg's and Zerby's writings that have led to iniquity, harmful evil doings and practices, and hurtful harmful abuse, even criminal actions.
SO NO VALUE AT ALL CAN EVER EVER BE GIVEN TO ANYTHING HE EVER EVER WROTE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER TODAY AS A DIRECT RESULT OF SO MANY OF HIS WRITINGS!
PS to Cancion: You mention those "so inclined"... you need to realize that to the acid tripped hippy who found peace of mind in Jesus and credited Berg for having made it possible.... when he/she read about the purity of sex in "all things" and in the "perfect love" and "total freedom in the Spirit of God" coming straight from the mouth of the "end time prophet of God", he/she could very easily be convinced that his faith was not whole unless he was able to experience these "glorious freedoms" constantly expounded upon by the "David of the End" the one who was proclaimed by the prophets of old, and whom we so fervently followed.
I'll make this even more credible: I was that poor acid tripped hippy that I mentioned above, who found Jesus and found the answers I was looking for in Him. And back then I gave Berg the credit for it. I'd only been in the babes ranch for a few days, when someone showed me Isaih 55. So to me he was with no doubt the "End Time David" to whom God would not lie, as promised in Psalms 89.
And guess what? In the days of '86, '87, the post "Devil Hates Sex" period, I often thought that I was not truly "free in the spirit" and "free in the pure love of God". Berg even said that you hadn't been totally cleansed from your sins until you had that total freedom and purity. The result: I came so close to sexually cuddling with a minor on two different occasions. I can so thank God that I didn't go through with it... as I would have that much more to reconcile today. Anyway, back then, because to the "pure all things are pure", I was sometimes under condemnation because I was not able to enjoy the "liberty of total sexual freedom in the Spirit" -- as so fervently taught by my "Father in the Lord", David Berg.
I can remember how I visited some homes, and it was clear that some of the adults in those homes were having sexual "dates" with very young teenagers, as young as 11. But I would not qualify any of these adults that I knew as being "so inclined" or pedophile inclined. I knew them well. The ones I knew were simply led astray, the way I nearly was. My love for Jesus and love for His Word and because I had a my mis-guided love for the words of David... believing they were Jesus' words for today... NEARLY MADE ME A CHILD ABUSER!
CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH EVIL BERG DID?
