Happy New Years!!!
Hello everyone,
First and foremost I wish everyone a happy new year. Today 2017 official starts.
So many events happened in 2016 that are simply unforgettable both on this site and around the world. And there will be more events coming for all of us in 2017.
I have a special announcement for all of you in regards to this site.
Silence is NOT golden
I have founded/rediscovered articles, journals, reports, etc on people standing up to UBF. UBF attempted to silence them by but in the end failed to do so.
With the material I created a blog post compiling them together and organizing them mainly by chapter. In doing so I realized that I needed to make not one but six parts.
How to leave UBF for good— What is a Cult?
What is a cult? This is a very significant question so we will tackle it and find the answer.
We are Prisoners of Hope
“The former South African archbishop Desmond Tutu used to famously say, “We are prisoners of hope.” Such a statement might be taken as merely rhetorical or even eccentric if you hadn’t seen Bishop Tutu stare down the notorious South African Security Police when they broke into the Cathedral of St. George’s during his sermon at an ecumenical service. “- Jim Wallis, God’s Politics
I’ve just finished reading Jim Wallis’ book God’s Politics: Why the Right gets it wrong and the Left doesn’t get it. I’m not going to pretend like I understand politics, but I do want to mention some noteworthy insights I’ve received.
Four Themes in Mein Kampf
When I say I am an author who writes about taboo topics, I mean it. My newest book is about one of the most taboo topics–Hitler’s Mein Kampf. The reading and research I did to prepare for this was enlightening and well worth setting aside the taboo and going beyond Godwin’s law. In fact I sent a copy of my book to Mike Godwin and quote him in the book. Godwin did not write his law to stop all conversation about Hitler but to move us toward more thoughtful discussion, with the hope to prevent another holocaust.
in 2016, the 70 year German copyright expired, and so Hitler’s book is now available. When one of my Facebook theology/pastor friends, Tim Gilman, shared the article about the release of Mein Kampf, I joined the heated social media discussion. At one point I remarked, “I could right a book about this topic!” Tim replied, “You should!”. And since Tim is a designer and connected to the publishing world, his company published the book. Here are some thoughts from my new book, “Evil: Confronting Our Inner Hitler“, that I would like to share with you. I find them highly relevant to America 2016.
Step up and Speak out!
Ben gives some good advice, and lets off some much needed steam in his recent article, “Back off and let it go!”. Sometimes we do need to just let it go. Other times, we need to step up and speak out. For me, this Memorial Day weekend is a time of speaking out. Interviews have already been scheduled with various media outlets, regarding my experience with the highly secretive and curiously mysterious group we all know and.. ahem.. love. So I am speaking out, echoing the multitude of silent voices of former members and current members who wrestle with being trapped in the KOPAHN enigma. If there is anything I want to avoid, it is to avoid keeping a low profile. I seek to be as visible as possible.
