When I couldn't sleep last night after reading all that's going on with the postings here, I thought I'd see what I could contribute. The
following fictitious courtroom scene unfolded before me. A certain unnamed fellow was squirming on the witness stand, being
cross-examined.

Here's how it went. How would it go for you?

Q: Haven't you sworn an oath of loyalty to Queen Maria and King Peter? And renewed it yearly?
A: Uh, yes, I guess so.

Q: By so doing, and accepting the provisions of the Charter, don't you recoginize that Queen Maria has inherited the mantle of
David Berg? And is now God's prophet and mouthpiece?
A: Uh, yes, I know that makes me look stupid, but hey, I've got to eat.

Q: As for a normal life in America, why do you feel you are so entitled to one?
A: Cause I'm such a great guy.

Q: Are you a US Citizen?
A: No. But if those Arab guys could get away with living here with such impunity, why shouldn't I? I'm even white and speak English.

Q: Do you hold anti-US views?
A: Yes. But they are only private. I've only been reading and propagating them for 30 years.

Q: Have you received literature as a Family member that instructs readers in the US to pretend to be pro-US, while instructing
readers overseas to distribute literature critical of the US?
A: Yes. I really like to become all things to all men. It really helps in the PR biz.

Q: Have you repented from deceptive business practices as carried out by the Family?
A: No. They work so well. And now we've got them all legalized.

Q: How about the verse "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them."
A: Gee, I thought they were pretty fruitful for me. I've feathered my bed pretty well. But I do rebuke exmembers, and hurt children
when they speak up.

Q: Have you apologized and made ammends to those who were harmed by practices you supported while in Family leadership?
A: Hey, a few years ago I said I was sorry.

Q: Do you continue to support Family units overseas?
A: Only recoginzed humanitarian aid projects. Wink. Wink.

Q: Have you in your capacity as a Family leader ever broken up families and separated parents from children?
A: Hey, it was for their own good. And I was just following orders. I'm a real loyal kind of guy.

Q: Is your US fundraising continuing to keep families broken, by perpetuating Family projects worldwide?
A: It's by their own choice that young kids stay in The Family. Of course they are not allowed to communicate with their parents
except to raise money at Christmas. Also not allowed to read the newspaper, watch the news, surf the interenet freely to see what's
happening in the world. And books are banned. But Mama Maria and King Peter's missives keep them well informed.

Q: Do you give a damn about any family but your own?
A: I stand on my record.
