Wow even more hypocritical then norman christians... nice work there.Quote:
A central tenet to their theology is the "Law of Love," which stated simply claims that if a person's actions are motivated by unselfish, sacrificial love and are not intentionally hurtful to others, such actions are in accordance with Scripture and are, thus, lawful in the eyes of God. They believe that this tenet supersedes all other Biblical laws, except those forbidding male homosexuality, which they believe is sin. Female bisexuality is sanctioned, though female homosexuality at the complete exclusion of men is not permitted.

Loving Jesus
This is a term that members of the Family use to describe their intimate, sexual relationship with Jesus. The Family describes the "Loving Jesus" teachings as a radical form of bridal theology [2]. It is their understanding of the Bible that the followers of Christ are his bride, called to love and serve him with the fervor of a wife. They take bridal theology further than other Christians by encouraging members to imagine that Jesus is having sex with them during sexual intercourse and masturbation. Male members are told to visualize themselves as women, in order to avoid a homosexual relationship with Jesus. Additionally, Family publications frequently liken prophecy from Jesus to receiving Jesus' semen, or "golden seeds," as a result of spiritual oral sex.

Look for lots of transcripts and even some scans of their publications. Also has a great video page with a bunch of documentaries and tv coverage. The crap David Berg is able to pass off as gospel to these people is incredible.
As an example one of his first letters consists largely of him explaining that it really shouldn't be called a "chaise lounge" since he's actually getting quite a bit of work done. Hilarious stuff.
Berg talks movies- http://www.exfamily.org/pubs/ml/b5/ml2452.shtml
The Family reads like a real nutcase sect.
This really does explain so much.
Damn now I have a better understanding of Mo7's.
