I clearly remember being taught the "all things" doctrine in 1972. My teacher was at TSC in 1970 and at Ellenville in 1971, so it all adds up. Even if the practice officially stopped in December 1971, the doctrine was still floating around when I showed up in February 1972. Also, I was propositioned by a colony shepherd in the summer of 1972 while his wife was out of the home having a baby. Once again, it was the "all things" doctrine. I was allowed to decline with, "I don't have enough faith for it." But then I was shipped off to a farm colony in the boondocks as soon as a visiting shepherd showed up.
Berg also wrote some very early MLs about his nursemaid masterbating him to sleep as a small child, and how that was really a good thing to do as far as he was concerned. I always remembered that story and did extensive research on the practice many years later in my graduate studies on culture and the sexualization of small children. This research was done several years before so much information about Berg and TF went online.
