What's really happening in Brazil?

Posted by Analyst on June 05, 2003 at 09:02:04

Maria said - 'The work in Brazil has continued to manifest very serious ongoing problems as a result of many sins, such as disobeying the Word, disunity, pride, compromise, gossip, criticism, rebelliousness, selfishness, ungodly behavior, and others.

Let's analyze this:

'Disobeying the Word' -- meaning as a nation they give the Letters as about as much credence as they deserve, which is about zero. Maybe these guys are players, they know the ropes but basically treat being in the Family like having a job.

Disunity - They're living more or less like normal people, each Home reaping the benefits of their own work, & keeping most of the money they earn.

Pride - The Activated Ministries started there, the system is working there for them and these guys have the nerve to think (according to WS's promise) that they actually will get money for a retirement fund from their hard work.

Compromise - probably getting too buddy-buddy with the Brazilian people, acting like normal people. Plus such horrendous sins as drinking Coca Cola, eating pork chops, & sun-tanning.

Gossip - They are telling the truth about corrupt leaders, bad shepherds & mental case co-workers.

Criticism - They know the Letters stink & Maria & Peter are poor & self-centered leaders.

Rebelliousness - As a result they want a sane life not obeying the dictums of selfish leaders.

Selfishness - These guys are earning money & actually believing (as WS told them) that they can keep it for their own needs. But WS wants their money, so they should be sending in every extra penny to Maria & Peter for their Swiss bank account retirement funds.

Ungodly behavior - There have been reports of teen girls who actually refuse to share their bodies with 50-year old needy 'brothers'. This is disobeying the Letters.

And others - They basically are trying to live like normal people & Maria & Peter need to take away all their money to teach them a lesson.
