Elderhaven Scandal... now I've got it...

Okay, guys, here's what I think... Maria is using the oldest trick in the book... buttering up her relatives and look sympathetic to their cause so that when the "ailing grandmother/relative" writes her will, she'll conveniently write Maria into it.
Plus, putting one her "closest secretaries" on the board of Elderhaven is a way to keep in touch and show "compassion" to them (in the name of Maria). Puk, puk, vomit...
Also, just a little info about "disciple status" nowadays. There is the FD's (Family Disciples where the most is required from them, 14% tithe, sold-out to the Family's causes and doctrine), MM (Missionary Member - 10% tithe and get ALL of the internal doctrine of the Family, should follow all the doctrine as much as possible and promote Family materials) and "FM" (Fellow Member - 10 % tithe and get most of the pubs).
Now, the Family's spokesperson has said that Ms. Smith was no longer a member of the Family. Well, nowadays, with the new "MM" or "FM" status, she could in theory say "she wasn't in the Family". But, with her name on the FCF board, makes her still a Family member... we all know that.
Also, to draw your attention to the article written by James Arendt on the New Day News site... it's in the "Reactions from Web Users" part...
This man, James, may indeed be a Family member, but says he's not any longer. He was a longtime member, CM, and recently changed his status to a "lesser rank" a few years ago. His website agressively promotes Family doctrine.
So, these people, James, Ms. Smith (Sue), may be in a "lesser rank", and for the sake of this "persecution", they claim they are no longer members.
The Family can twist words like no other... it's amazing how decieving they can be.

I have a question... how many people gave over their inheritances or a large part because of the Family's doctrine? I did. It was also written in the "Charter" that your "excess money from gifts, inheritances) be given to WS. That's the requirement of FD/CM discipleship. You would feel awfully guilty if you didn't "share" the larger part of your money with WS.
So, where did our tithes go... to bribe accedemics, buy property, buy ads on search engines, anything to promote their way of life.
I gave my all for 28 years... how ignorant I was. The Family has NEVER said exactly where the money goes... only general "Share the Know".
