Vow of surrender to Jesus.

Posted by on May 01, 2002 at 16:23:47:

I remember seeing a post that started with "I, Gary thank You, adore You, and praise You, Jesus, for choosing me." Now this is a fake. Gary did not write this article. This passage is part of a Zerby pamphlet titled "Vows of Surrender Ceremony" GN 975. I wrote and explained all this in an earlier post here on exfamily.org. this GN was put on the internet by Luke CM, I am sure you remember. In addition to this GM Luke CM posted on his web page a one pager made of this passage. In the original it says "I, , thank You..." etc. In the one pager it looks like this "I, ___________, thank You..." etc. (This message on this onepager is from paragraphs 59, 60, 61 and 62 of GN 975. the GN is titled Vows of surrender Ceremony! The one pager is titled Vow of Surrender of Jesus. I have not read the GN, but it may be that the Family put toghether the one page liflet for people to sign during the ceremony. Or maybe Luke CM put it together. I don't know. So if Gary told you he did not write this liflet he is right. Somebody put Gary's name where the line is and the post gives the false impression that Gary wrote it. If this is what you are talking about, then it is true that Gary did not write it. Is this little liflet that was posted on Crossfire what you are talking about? SamAjemian
