"As long as Dad, David Berg, was alive and leading the group there was always change, excitement, and good leadership. Though many slam him for his sexual belief and practices, I don't, as he was not a hypocrite and did bring things out in the open when he thought the majority of the followers could handle it."
Are you saying you don't have a problem with Berg's pedophilia, his molestation of numerous young girls, including his granddaughter Merry, as well as Davida, Armendria, and Techi? Are you telling us that because Berg felt that he was motivated by "love" that these women don't suffer today as a consequence of being raped as children?
Have you ever bothered to hear their side of the story? I guess their point of view doesn't matter to you, since Berg's motivations were pure, the child brides who suffered as a consequence of his honest and open sexual deviance obviously are the ones who failed in some way to yield to God's spirit.
Many of Berg's followers (male and female) also engaged in sexual relationships with children and adolescents in TF. During the 1980s, hundreds of adolescents were brutally beaten in an effort to prevent them from becoming Mene cases. Do you have any idea how many of these survivors are living with permanent, lifelong damage from the abuse that stemmed from Berg's teachings like the Last State?
