Dear David:

I have been thinking about your posts for a day or two and trying to figure out a response. As an ex member and former leader I agree Deb was no slouch in the hardass department but so were most of the others. They were taught by the king of hardness, Berg himself. Anyways that is a minor "star" in the constellation of hurt the family was and continues to be. The purpose of my post is to suggest to you that Berg was wrong on many things, including sexuality. Rather than lip off I wanted to give you a quote.

From "Escape from Reason"

Written in 1968 by Fancis A. Schaeffer

" The Word is used as a contentless banner, and our generation is invited to follow it. But there is no rational, scriptual content to test it, and thus the word is being used to teach the very opposite things from those which Jesus taught. Men are called to follow the word with highly motivated fervency and nowhere more than in the new morality which follows the New Theology.

It is now Jesus-like to sleep with a girl or a man, if she or he needs you. As long as you are trying to be human you are being Jesus-like to sleep with the other person, at the cost, be it noted, of breaking the specific morality which Jesus taught."

Another quote:

" We have come to this fearsome place where the word Jesus has become the enemy of the Person Jesus, and the enemy of what Jesus taught. We must fear this contentless banner of the word 'Jesus', not because we do not love Jesus, but because we do love Him."

Chapter 6 pg. 78-79 End of Quotes

I just can't accept that anyone who really cares about God and others can accept Berg's pedophilia, child molestation and criminal incest along with the bundle of false prophecy he is guilty of.

I also know where all the family skeletons are buried and I have access to all the doctrines around these issues and all most all of the pubs that the family ever produced. To compare history, I have been in or watching the family since 1972. Are you so far gone in the world of channeling, the family and Berg that you don't feel the Bible has any relevance anymore to your position as a Christian?

Sincerely,

Rocky

Will also post David's views if he is ok with it and I am supposed to.
