I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. That is so true. It also works the same way with making the congregation or the little peons feel like they are so worthless that they'd do anything for "God" in order to be accepted or to be worthwhile. I should have known better myself. Once when I was only a new little babe - about 3 mos along - the shepherds were looking at some pictures and I made some comment about how I didn't look so great or something, and they said, oh, you look wonderful. I thought I was going to be vain if I said anything complimentary about myself. So, I said, well, that's Jesus then and they said, "well, that's what we meant, we see Jesus in you" - it was all confusing to me. In other words, you look great but only because of Jesus, but if you do anything wrong or human, then Jesus is zapo, gone, vanished in a heart beat. So you gotta get back down on your knees and find him again in order to have that saintly look. Really, people are people, with or without their religion, whatever it is. We all have value, it's what we decide to do with it, we have a choice. Berg's dogma was excellent for making shells out of people, thinking they were worthless and couldn't think unless it came out of a bible quote or from their shepherds who apparently could think better. Such balony.
