This is an interesting discussion about Ronal Reagan, for sure! Yes, the Family freely villifies their "enemies" while alive, but then gives them "spirit helper" status upon dieing... this is s fact!
About the young people who pass away in the Family (the Austin teens and Cheryl Lloyd & others) they always give a "message" to the Family about how giving their lives to the Lord in the Family is the highest calling, blah, blah... This is to ensure that the SGA's will have more faith for staying in the cult or something like that. It's the new-age direction the F. has gone into. And yes, many of those young people who have passed on have risen to the task of being the newest SGA spirit helpers and some become Zerby's spirit helper so she can have a "heart and understanding for the young people in the Family"....
Anyway, about Ronal Reagan... he sure was the Family's public enemy #1 while governor of California... since he helped "Black Lightening" with his dirty work. Since I was in the cult during his presidency I didn't know so much about what he had done... only Berg-speak.
But, last year sometime I saw on Larry King Live an astrologer who had come out in public and said that she was Ronald Reagan's astrologer and consultant. She said that they never met, but he would get a message to her and ask her what she thought of certain dates for travelling, holding important meetings or signing treaties and such. She said that his aides were sometimes confused because the dates of events would change and they didn't know why.
I guess him being an Aquarian... interested in "spiritual things" led him to using her "connection to the other world" Nancy Reagan used her, too. Only a very few top aides knew about the astrologer.
I'm not saying it's wrong or bad that he did this... who knows... but they kept it a secret for sure!
