Some Truth About The Focus On The Family Cult
Some Truth About The Focus On The Family Cult

"When contemplating the motive for a crime the rule of thumb is 'follow the money.'"

If you're interested in a history of the Focus on the Family cult, you came to the wrong place. Enough literature has been written about the cult's formation and history that I need not delve further into it. (If you're looking for specific information about the sex and money scandles of the mid 1980's, query the Los Angeles Times archives for copies of their multi-part exposure of Dr. James Dobson and his one-time partner.)

What you'll find here are:


My experiences within the FoF Cult

1. Funny FoF story
I went to the FotF compound in Colorado Springs, back when I was freelancing for that city's newspaper. They had two receptionists -- one was a gorgeous, friendly young woman, the other was a dour, rather homely elderly lady.

The buxom blonde greeted visitors with a "Welcome to Focus on the Family." Then the older lady actually helped you with whatever you needed. As far as I could tell, the pretty lady was only there to say hello, then turn you over to the other lady. Very strange.

3. I went into their HQs one time as a candidate and spoke out for women's
right to choose. I was the only Democrat that accepted their invitation. I felt like Daniel in the lion's den..:)

6. I continue to ask that everyone go and read this well documented piece.

The Unholy Alliance -
Christianity & The NWO
Part I

The Bilderbergs.
The Trilateral Commission.
The Council of Foreign Relations.
The Central Intelligence Agency.

Most everyone has heard of these groups and some of the conspiracy theories surrounding them regarding the development of the 'New World Order.'

Now imagine for a moment there is something to this (and there appears to be no lack of documented material justifying these theories). That would mean that at almost every elevated level of business and government, world wide, men and women have infiltrated, become the controlling administrators and are working to effectively control every aspect of the life of the "world citizen."

One aspect of this that has not been properly searched out is the "religious" connection. Surely, given that much of the world is religious, and in the currently reigning SuperPower nation of the U.S., predominantly "Christian," then it would only make sense that these organizations have infiltrated the Church itself and are also actively leading it to into the New World Order as well.

Do the worlds leading Christian evangelicals have ties to these organizations?

Yes they do, and it is thoroughly documented.
Much more at link above.


I promise, if you read it, you'll have a whole new wider, more informed perspective on our collective nightmare.
