A) INTRODUCTION

 

 

QUESTION ONE:  Do the leaders of these churches know the real truth?  And or (or secondly), Why would they willingly and knowingly perpetuate a fraudulent doctrine?

 

First of all:  The “astonishing fact” is that most of these people are “educated, well known, family orientated, typically financially well-off, honest, etcetera.”

 

Therefore, it is inconceivable for the average person to conjecture why these leaders continue to perpetuate a fraud.  Which brings us to another important:

 

QUESTION TWO:  Have these leaders come to the conclusion we have, in that we know the truth (that they are perpetuating a lie and they know it), and if they don’t know what we know -- Why not, and if so, what motivates them to continue with this dogma (lie)?

 

 

B) CONCLUSIONS:

 

 

FIRST REASON:  It is of the highest possibility that these people have been in their faith from birth.

 

SECOND REASON:  At this point in their life they have devoted almost all their time and efforts towards promoting, servicing, and backing up their church, cult, dogma, through church missions, church schools, church education, etcetera.

 

THIRD REASON:  These leaders have accepted their identity in their church/cult as faithful believers (in the eyes of the laity), and in adopting this role they receive a lot of respect from other members.

 

NOTE:  Here is where questioning the church/cult doctrine begins to fade.  They learn that towing-the-line, not questioning, brings even more respect.  In other words, it benefits them more personally then when they may have questioned some things as opposed to fighting against their common sense.

 

FOURTH REASON:  At this point they are in a leadership role, knowing the churches/cults errors, and they have to choose whether or not to carry on or rebel.  But now they most likely have multiple friendships within the community; they are highly respected; they may have (at this point) wives, children, and possibly grand-children.

 

NOTE:  Therefore, the price is too high to resist.  Therefore, they begin to rationalize; put on blinders; and justify their belief system of errors.

 

FIFTH REASON:  Even though they now see these errors/problems, they now move into the next rationalization that:  This is still the best church on the face of the earth!  The finances are in order (not in dept); we are a large denomination; we have tax free status (or acknowledgment of) from our government; we have many institutions (churches; hospitals; schools); and we have a high class of people in our churches/cults (doctors; educators; scientists).

 

NOTE:  Therefore, the justification of the churches/cult’s errors are that we are better than anything else out there.

 

 

C) NOW WE MOVE INTO SUPPOSITIONS (on my part)

 

 

SIXTH REASON:  Since I am in such a leadership position, I can handle the errors.  But should these parishioners under me know of some of these errors, they could not handle the truth.

 

NOTE ONE:  Therefore, I must protect them from learning the truth, or better, I must (by now have learned to) explain away the errors.  It is actually a form of egoism.  I am strong enough to handle these errors and you are not.

 

NOTE TWO:  Therefore, they continue to perpetuate the lies.  They feel they must bear the burden of carrying these lies for the good of the souls who would be crushed underneath them if they found out or were told the truth (their consciences were revived again).

 

SEVENTH REASON:  At this point the leaders are too deep into their church/cult that the only thing they can do is to tread water.  They have followed everything the church/cult has thrown at them and passed the tests.  They have lived it, breathed it, and cherished it.  This is their identity.

 

NOTE:  This is where they are at the highest echelons, and the chance of apostasy is astronomical.

 

EIGHTH REASON:  We are now at the point where they are at a “high calling” in their church/cult.  They most likely have financial rewards.  They may even have written books, given many speeches/sermons, etcetera.  Depending upon the church/cult, when they walk into the room, people stand.  They may even be recognized in the town, cities, national news, world-wide.  In other words, they have the honor of men.

 

NOTE:  Luke 14:7:  And He put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when He marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 

Luke 14:8:  When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 

Luke 14:9:  And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 

Luke 14:10:  But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 

Luke 14:11:  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

 

NINTH REASON:  At this point, they believe.  Or, they simply may be true believers (ignore reasons 6, 7, & 8).

 

TENTH REASON:  They may not believe.  But they go because of their connections and don’t want to lose what they have built up as a lifestyle.

 

NOTE ONE:  By belonging to this institution, it fortifies you so well socially, economically, etcetera, that you have to much to lose (mostly relationships) and nothing to gain (except the real truth and helping others; which you have lost sight of [helping others] anyway).

 

NOTE TWO:  God does not even matter anymore.

 

ELEVENTH REASON:  FINALLY, it must be admitted that these men in the upper ranks are EVIL.  They are in it for the money; Satanically keeping people from the truth (deception); whatever.

 

NOTE:  You can deduct whatever from this highly accurate conclusion.

 

Niccolo Machiavelli in his book, “The Prince,” stated:  “Things will not change, because, those who do not benefit from change, poses the power.  And those who benefit from change, are powerless.”
