Life is a mystery in my opinion. What happens in life is such a mix of things that we may never understand completely why then came out. As a Christian, I think you are a little confused right now and think that the Family is the place where God is most of the time or more intensely or in preference to other place. That is not so. God is everywhere, even right by your side. I know you know this so I don't want you to think I am preaching at you but sometimes we miss the most obvious things when we are confused. Please let me point out one of the very same things you are saying but under a different light and you think and pray about it.

1. I was a non christian how could someone so off track have letters that made me grow and accept Jesus and at the same time do so much damage.

Notice that this is the case with just about anything else and everybody else. Most people have some good things to say at times. Also most people have some bad things to say at times. I was a non before I joined. Even for mosths after I joined I was not sure about the whole thing but one day I simple woke up being a believer and God was as real to me as He had been unreal just the night before. How did that happen? A mystery, unless I am willing to consider the scriptures that say that "faith cometh by hearing... the Word of God". Keep in mind that the Word of God is not David Berg's words as much as we may like some of them or even the good some of them may have done ito us. Berg's words were his not God's. God may have used some of Berg's words to get through you just as He used some of Sam's words or other people's words to get through you so that you hear HIS VOICE. You certainly did and accepted His Words but you have to continue doing just that. Get that old channel of communication with Him clean and you will experience again His Voice speaking to you. That is the true fountain of pure and sweet water that was feeding your soul. The bitter water came from the bad, wrong and outright evil teachings that Berg introduced as tru doctrines. He adulterated the pure Word of God and got you confused. Remeber that one?: God is not author of confusion but of peace...
