Elliot:
I dont claim to know anything about the church or its founders. My mom just
said that the books written by the prophtess turned out to be largely
plagerized and that the church intellectualls litterally had to scramble to
ignore, deny and cover up that realization inorder to continue their faith
in her. I dont know who she plagerized, but i've read lots of prophecies
(please excuse my poor spelling) of sept 11th (nostradomus and steel birds
and burning empires). But i dont know what her books were about, im just
relaying what my mom said who participated in the church for 20 years and
through this discovery.
But like i said, even if she was a plagerist, it doesnt effect the truth of
her words and chritian mystic should hardly care about such trifles, im sure
your ideas a very valid.
i'll listen to your quotes, but i have read lots of prophasies that were
overwhelmingly accurate and dont accept them as prophets. "Believing is
seeing" sums up why. I believe otherwise and i see otherwise, others
believe the opposite and see such. oh well.
Elliot
