Having these letters up here exposes TF's doctrines and strange beliefs. It is documentary evidence. They are also a useful tool for helping us retrace our steps, making sens out of where and how we got it all wrong. It was something real that we have to face at some point, when we are ready for it. Nobody has to read them. We are all at different places in our lives. If it bothers Archangel that much then stay away from them, and get some professional help detoxing.
The issue sounds more like Archangel's own problem grappling with the attraction and not being able to resist the influence, giving so much weight to the mystical power and effect of those words. I am no longer under the influence of these writings, and I can read them if I want to, but with absolute disgust. I also wonder why I was so stupid to follow such vain babblings of an alcoholic egomanic. I am not plagued with guilt through reading. I am ashamed to have been so stupid. I don't go hungering for these "words of David", and I am not the slightest bit afraid for getting sucked into them. Archangel should just speak for himself/herself and say he/she has a problem, and stop trying to project his/her illness and weakness onto everybody else.
