Wow that is a lot of stuff to read. I hope you got permission from the author to post that much of his book. ;-)

I noticed you had to read Johnson’s book in order to do your expose. That has to be difficult. Just reading your thread gave me a kind of cynical dirty feeling in that it appears that all these cults interject just enough truth to snare someone into their false religion. It makes it difficult to sift the wheat from the chaff and if you are not well grounded in the word and in sound doctrine, some of the mystical gobbledygook could draw you in.

The WOF movement is a tempting alternative to sound doctrine. People think they can become like God and change the world by just speaking their own world into existence.

Thanks for an interesting post. When are you going to put your book on Kindle or audible? I like to read in my car with the text to speech option. I spend about 3 hours a day in my car. I get through about 2-3 books a week sometimes.
