Also, as some of your posters have said of themselves, I am not ``with`or `following`the person you affectionately refer to as Freddy. I am not with or following anyone, although I find the most spiritually mature teaching to come from teachers associated with CBCG. That is after 34 years of experience and having been disfellowshipped from WCG and numerous painful experiences is `governmental` primitive Christian groups.

Hi Gavey, I am not sure what world you live in, but I think this one does have some power structures or `shadow governments`that we are not fully aware of, whatever they are called in their differing manifestations.I am not clear on what you are criticizing about Fred (or Freddy as you disdainfully call him). Thanks Gavey for everything. My name is James, but in the spirit of discounting others you can call me Jamey.

It may make you feel clever to chuckle at "conspiracy nuts," but the problem is you completely neglect to refer to reality. All of these mentioned groups are real. They are all influential policy-shaping (some observers would say policy-making) groups. They comprise the most powerful individuals in the world of government, banking, industry, media, even religion. Last but not least, all go practically totally unmentioned in the so-called mainstream media (of which this writer once counted himself a part). Is this not a little bit strange?

The annual Bilderberg meeting brings together 300 or so of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people under one roof. This isn't newsworthy?

The meeting is all but blacked out with regard to mainstream media coverage. That's not newsworthy?

Oh, and by the way, some of the attendees are executives of the very media conglomerates that aren't covering the meeting in their news organs. I guess that's sheer coincidence and none of that ought to arouse our curiosity either. I guess we should spend our time t hinking about really important questions -- like what sort of puppy should the Obamas buy for their kids?

Be not wise in your own eyes.

Yes, I actually came across that book in the AC library during the summer of 1978, and for awhile got hooked on Allen's particular conspiracy theory.

Much like JFK conspiracy theories, such a view of world history is exciting to believe, and, like many of the doctrines of the old WCG, give one a distinct sense of "I know something not understood by the ignorant masses, therefore I am special."

But then shortly thereafter, I began the SERIOUS reading of history, and once that is undertaken, conspiracy claims just unravel apart like a wool scarf in the claws of a mischievous kitten.

Leo: -- None Dare Call It Conspiracy (Gary Allen, 1971) --

I remember flipping through this book. It seems his thesis was that all the other conspiracy theories are nonsense, but he had it all figured out.

The converted parent fit all four of those criteria. You are absolutely 100% dead on the money.

Of course, our congregation had two schizophrenics as well, both of whom were summarily disfellowshipped and marked, for their "weakness of faith".

The minister remained fairly neutral, but eventually said he would check with our authority on such matters, Gene Hogberg. The book was quietly dismissed as being in error.

2008-12-02T05:21:00.000+13:00

The Director of Research in the old WCG Editorial Department once told me they received many letters from Church members requesting articles in the Plain Truth regarding conspiracy theories - more than any other single topic.

So yes, the nuttiness of conspiracy theories and the typically mindset of your average COG member go hand in glove.

Everyone I've ever known in the Church who was into such conspiracies (the Trilateral Commission, the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, the Esso Corporation, etc.) had several traits in common:

1. They were ALL extremely uneducated, especially in history.

2. They were ALL pretty much failures in life, so they needed to blame others (the conspiracists) for their personal lack of accomplishment.

3. A number of them were also given to overindulging in alcohol.

4. Most of them also believed in a number of other nutty things too - like the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, JFK assassination conspiracies, etc.

Of course, these factors don't necessarily constitute valid evidence that such theories aren't true, but they certainly are telling as to the kind of folks who readily embrace them.

I've studied in great detail the 1963 assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, and many of the so-called "conspiracies" surrounding this event have many things in common with other general conspiracy theories.

In my view, they are mostly unfounded - yet people go on believing them regardless of the lack of legitimate evidence to support them.

So you can see why religious folks especially are drawn to such nutty and unfounded ideas.

"[T]he USA is currently facing gigantic economic troubles and a new Democratic federal government that will take us further down the road to socialism and fascist, totalitarian rule."

I agree, to a certain point. But what Coulter left out was that El Bush spent the past eight years laying the groundwork for gigantic economic troubles by blowing billions on Freedom Wars and has ensured a smooth transition into totalitarism by enacting the Patriot Act.

Fred Coulter was the First WCG minister I ever heard give a sermon. I was 14 in Boise Idaho visitng my sister and Brother in law who later became a minister himself.

He helped hook me me WCG as I never heard sermons given in the Presbyterian Church like that.

44 years later, I have learned a lot. I guess I could not be here if I had not been there.

I was listening to Coulter for awhile. He was into conspiracies. He was also into prophecy. He said that the two witnesses were going to be from Israel. One would be the prime minister of Israel, and the other would be the chief Rabbi of Israel. Coulter said this long before Weinland claimed he and his wife were the two witnesses.

Coulter also stated that the United Nations was going to be the beast power.

Fred has always been into conspiracy theories, and approaches his theoretical teachings as radically as possible, because drama is what affects his crowd of true believers the most.
I do remember one of his sermons about how the Beast would take a space ship into outer space and fight Christ. His prophetic surmisings are even more elaborate that HWA's

2008-11-30T03:40:00.000+13:00

Fred wonders: -- Moreover, why have all of Obama’s school records at Columbia University and Harvard Law School been sealed? What are they hiding? --

As it turns out, privacy laws here in the United States prohibit casual access to student records. A student may voluntarily give a transcript to whomever he or she chooses, such as a potential employer. A college counselor may access a student's records to determine how best to counsel the student. And, of course, the university may confirm that the student has met the requirements for graduation. But that's about it.

A university cannot divulge a student's grades even to the parents -- unless, of course, the student signs a release form saying it's okay for Mommy and Daddy to know. This can be frustrating to parents who are paying for their child's education and want to check up on their investment.

Of course, it can also be frustrating to mother hens who call professors demanding to know why their little Johnny got a D in calculus.

I don't know how it is at Otago, but that's the way it is here.

I met David Icke a few years ago, and I have the sense that he might actually believe what he teaches. When we consider that Richard Coeur de Lion used a sword that hardly anyone else could wield or that his great uncle Raymond (while king of Jerusalem) could sit on a horse stationed between two pillars and by clutching the horse between his legs while holding the pillars with his hands could keep the horse from moving even though it was being whipped....well, you can see why people might think there was something unusual about that family.

I was with Coulter for awhile, and some of the nonsense he was teaching then was that the 2 witnesses were going to be 1) Israel's prime minister, and 2)the chief Rabbi in Israel. Somebody better tell Weinland this.

Fred also said that the United Nations was going to be the Beast.

As if the Bilderbergers care whether you are Republican or Democrat. Conspiracies cease to be theories when they are openly and boldly discussed as policy objectives.

How do the Republicans continually come off as the party of church going people when they clearly don't believe a word of the Bible?

That bit of sleight of hand politics continues to amaze me. I think its the abortion thing. Abortion isn't in the Bible, but Capital Punishment sure is!

Of course Gavin you are also living in the past when you believed the US was a great democracy on the earth.

Nations, constitutions and laws change.

When a small outspoken feminist Jew like Naomi Wolf is placed on a Watchlist by the US government admitted to her by airport officials then something in this great democracy is wrong!

When governments want to track every website we visit, read every email, take our dna, compel us to carry ID cards, detain us without charge then we are no longer free. And if you call that democracy then you can shove it because I do not want it and will fight to oppose it!

Many of the top ministurds of Meredith's cult are strong believers in the Illuminati and the Trilateral Commission. Conspiracy theories have always been popular in Armstrongism and remain so to this day. I guess when you can fall for the lies of Armstrongism it is also easy to fall for the lies of the conspiracy nutcases.

My partner Faith and I are going to do undercover massage work at Bohemian Grove this year, so stay tuned. We should be able to clear up all this conspiracy stuff once and for all.

We also have sessions planned at Skull and Bones homecoming and at Tony Blair's baptism into Catholocism.

We'll have this Builderburger thing figured out soon.

People tell all when getting massage.

If we don't return, then know we were probably victims of human sacrifice at Buckingham Palace, by the hands of the Reptilian Royal family so please contact David Icke so he can at least include us in his next book.

I have to go now..they're watching me.

This is an opportunity to say something good about GTA. He tried to get us not to believe conspiracy theories like this. Coulter's rant reminds me of a Friday night in late 1975 where GTA told the Auditorium crowd that the Illuminati ideas were rubbish and don't believe them. But by then nobody was believing GTA, even on the rare occasion when he was correct.

Why should there be impartiality when it is plain that Obama is a socialist. Socialism is not what America is about.
Why must we pretend for those abroad that the man is experienced when he clearly is not?
Most of his friends have been on the FBI most wanted list and we should remain impartial?
Come on now.
You are showing a left leaning liberal bent without much impartiality and if that is your belief then no one should insist you be impartial.
