WEBVTT 00:04.780 --> 00:07.020 Bob Trev, so good to have you here. 00:07.260 --> 00:10.940 I have been reading your magazine, Freedom's Ring, for some time now and I 00:10.940 --> 00:15.240 want to tell you that God has raised you up, brother, for such a time as this. 00:19.220 --> 00:19.620 You 00:42.680 --> 00:43.760 have a lot to tell us. 00:44.080 --> 00:47.200 And before we get into it, let's ask God's Holy Spirit to be with us. 00:47.200 --> 00:51.000 Because I want to tell you, from what I have already heard, you have a tremendous 00:51.000 --> 00:53.000 wealth of knowledge to share with us. 00:53.020 --> 00:55.340 So let's ask God's Holy Spirit to be with us right now. 00:55.520 --> 00:56.200 Will you kneel with me? 00:56.920 --> 01:00.580 Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you will be with my brother Bob Trev. 01:00.920 --> 01:04.920 Dear Father, I thank you for raising him up for such a critical time as this in the 01:04.920 --> 01:05.940 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 01:05.940 --> 01:10.220 Touch his lips with a hot coal from thine altar now, dear Father, as he brings to us 01:10.220 --> 01:14.060 the revelations that he has found happening, not only in the world, 01:14.160 --> 01:16.980 but in the Church, and how it leads to end-time prophecy. 01:17.560 --> 01:21.320 To thy name's honor and glory we dedicate this video in the holy and blessed name of 01:21.320 --> 01:22.520 Jesus and for his sake. 01:22.920 --> 01:23.240 Amen. 01:27.240 --> 01:27.680 Bob, 01:33.200 --> 01:37.940 when I was on vacation recently, I took this bound volume of Freedom's Ring 01:37.940 --> 01:40.740 that you sent me, and I went through it with a highlighter pen. 01:41.340 --> 01:44.360 And I want to tell you, brother, it's been a long time since I have seen 01:44.360 --> 01:51.040 any document that has shaken me like this material that you have put together. 01:51.040 --> 01:56.700 The Lord has given you a knowledge and an insight into what is happening within our 01:56.700 --> 01:57.080 Church. 01:57.600 --> 02:02.120 And what we want to do on this video is just to let you talk and reveal to God's 02:02.120 --> 02:06.440 people the things that you have uncovered and put it on video for God's historic 02:06.440 --> 02:10.740 Adventist people to realize where we are in this Church and in this Earth's 02:10.740 --> 02:11.080 history. 02:11.900 --> 02:16.000 Before we get into this, though, I would like to know, and I think the 02:16.000 --> 02:21.520 Adventist people watching this video would like to know also, what your history has 02:21.520 --> 02:21.840 been. 02:22.280 --> 02:23.960 I've got to be perfectly honest with you. 02:23.980 --> 02:26.000 A year ago, I'd never heard of Bob Drez. 02:26.080 --> 02:27.140 I didn't know who you were. 02:27.180 --> 02:32.000 And suddenly, I see this Freedom's Ring everywhere and all this wonderful material 02:32.000 --> 02:35.120 and people talking about the material that you have brought out. 02:35.400 --> 02:37.020 Give us a little bit of your history. 02:37.160 --> 02:38.800 Have you been a Seventh-day Adventist all your life? 02:38.800 --> 02:40.980 Have you been through our educational system? 02:41.840 --> 02:44.000 How did Freedom's Ring come into existence? 02:44.560 --> 02:45.600 Give us an update. 02:45.740 --> 02:47.800 How did you get where you are now, Bob? 02:48.140 --> 02:51.320 First of all, John, I'd like to say it's really wonderful to be with you. 02:51.600 --> 02:53.500 We've enjoyed our experience here. 02:53.600 --> 02:57.980 And we feel that we owe you a real debt for the work that you've done with your 02:57.980 --> 02:59.680 Celebration series. 03:00.020 --> 03:03.200 It has awakened the Church like nothing else has. 03:03.700 --> 03:05.500 And it's a real honor to be here with you. 03:05.500 --> 03:10.840 I'm a third-generation Adventist, John, and I grew up loving the Lord, 03:11.060 --> 03:12.140 had godly parents. 03:12.960 --> 03:18.340 I spent a lot of time hiking out in nature as a boy and teenager, and I still do. 03:18.880 --> 03:25.040 I always have loved the influence of the Spirit of God coming through the Word as 03:25.040 --> 03:26.220 well as the natural world. 03:26.400 --> 03:30.980 And as a boy, I was keenly aware about the Second Advent. 03:31.100 --> 03:33.420 I had a picture of it in my bedroom. 03:33.420 --> 03:38.300 And I remember even praying to the Lord that the Lord would somehow give me a 03:38.300 --> 03:40.840 dream of what it might be like at the Second Advent. 03:41.420 --> 03:45.140 And I was keenly aware also about end-time events. 03:45.680 --> 03:50.320 I suppose it was about at the age of 11 that I picked up the Great Controversy, 03:50.340 --> 03:51.080 not this one. 03:52.500 --> 03:57.860 But I was so astounded by what I read, it gripped my heart like I think probably 03:57.860 --> 04:00.380 nothing I had ever read had gripped it. 04:00.380 --> 04:03.840 And I wondered, why am I not hearing these things in sermons? 04:04.040 --> 04:06.180 This is absolutely fascinating. 04:06.300 --> 04:11.700 And my heart was just charmed by the story of the Reformation and Luther and the 04:11.700 --> 04:12.520 Waldensees. 04:13.120 --> 04:20.760 And ever since then, whenever I've been able to obtain old books on the subject of 04:20.760 --> 04:25.120 historical theology, I've gotten a hold of them, read them. 04:25.120 --> 04:28.700 I love d'Aubigné's History of the Reformation that Ellen and James White 04:28.700 --> 04:30.780 would read by the hour, Sabbath afternoons. 04:31.320 --> 04:37.360 And as I went on through my educational experience in academy and then in college, 04:37.480 --> 04:40.980 I felt a deepening hungering for the Lord. 04:41.140 --> 04:45.020 And I got to the point in college where I would be spending three and four hours a 04:45.020 --> 04:48.080 day studying the Bible and the spirit of prophecy. 04:48.080 --> 04:53.520 I had a Honda Trail 90 and I loved to go up into the North Georgia mountains, 04:53.640 --> 04:58.620 the mountains of Tennessee, where the sparkling lakes and the rivers and 04:58.620 --> 05:00.560 waterfalls and commune with the Lord. 05:00.740 --> 05:03.420 Now did you go to college at Southern Missionary College? 05:03.500 --> 05:03.840 Right. 05:03.920 --> 05:04.760 That's where I was. 05:04.780 --> 05:07.280 I went there as well as at Atlantic Union College. 05:07.660 --> 05:11.340 Came through our educational system except for when I was in kindergarten and first 05:11.340 --> 05:12.420 grade was public school. 05:12.520 --> 05:15.000 So you were born and raised a Seventh-day Adventist and came up through our 05:15.000 --> 05:16.840 educational system just like I did. 05:16.840 --> 05:18.220 I got to ask you, how old are you Bob? 05:18.740 --> 05:19.280 Forty-two. 05:19.380 --> 05:19.960 Forty-two. 05:20.060 --> 05:21.160 You beat me by two years. 05:21.240 --> 05:22.100 I just turned 40. 05:22.200 --> 05:24.020 So we come from the same generation. 05:24.360 --> 05:25.140 I think that's obvious. 05:25.400 --> 05:25.640 That's right. 05:25.660 --> 05:27.760 Both born and raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 05:27.900 --> 05:29.600 Now what happened in your college years? 05:29.640 --> 05:31.040 You gave me a little hint of that earlier. 05:31.240 --> 05:33.380 You know John, that's an interesting point you make. 05:33.460 --> 05:36.120 We're both of the same generation, same vintage. 05:36.520 --> 05:42.140 And we have seen the complete turning inside out of our movement. 05:42.840 --> 05:45.880 And that has concerned both of us and led us to do what we're doing. 05:45.880 --> 05:53.400 But your question was, what did I see in college that stimulated and concerned me? 05:53.760 --> 05:53.860 Yes. 05:54.100 --> 05:58.180 Well, in the college dorm, you could walk from one end of the dorm to the other, 05:58.360 --> 06:02.300 400 fellows, and not miss one word of the main rock station in Chattanooga. 06:02.460 --> 06:05.820 Oh, you found that to be true in your dorm too, huh? 06:05.940 --> 06:10.720 It was so bad, there was a young student, a doctor's son there, who was 16 years 06:10.720 --> 06:11.060 old. 06:11.060 --> 06:15.600 And he came one day to my room and he said, Bob, I am losing my mind here. 06:16.960 --> 06:21.540 The intense worldliness, doors open with the music just pouring through the 06:21.540 --> 06:22.680 hallways, no relief. 06:23.260 --> 06:25.620 So I said to him, I have the answer for you. 06:26.220 --> 06:27.560 And I said, you come with me. 06:27.600 --> 06:31.100 And we hopped on my Trail 90, and one hour in the mountains he was just fine. 06:31.100 --> 06:35.680 But it was during that time that I read the statement of the Spirit of Prophecy 06:35.680 --> 06:40.060 that the hours of sunrise and sunset are God's appointed time for meeting with the 06:40.060 --> 06:40.340 youth. 06:40.940 --> 06:45.320 And I would jump on my cycle and go out and be there when the sun rose and be up 06:45.320 --> 06:48.800 in the hills when the sun set, just worshiping God. 06:48.900 --> 06:50.320 It was the most thrilling experience. 06:51.040 --> 06:56.800 And those rides out in the mountain, it was an enig type of experience. 06:56.800 --> 07:00.560 I was 19 years old and, you know, the ages around that. 07:01.220 --> 07:05.360 And I just reveled in the freedom and the communion with God. 07:05.500 --> 07:08.480 To me it was the greatest thing in the world to be able to commune with the 07:08.480 --> 07:08.840 Creator. 07:09.660 --> 07:14.660 Well, what started happening when you were in college that helped you to realize that 07:14.660 --> 07:17.920 things were not on course as far as we as the Seventh-day Adventists. 07:18.000 --> 07:22.020 You mentioned to me earlier that you started to realize that in 20 years things 07:22.020 --> 07:23.440 were going to be drastically different. 07:23.440 --> 07:28.300 Because our colleagues, the age group that you and I went to school with, 07:28.440 --> 07:30.680 are now in leadership positions in the church. 07:30.780 --> 07:35.220 And you realized that then and you said in 20 years there is going to be a terrible 07:35.220 --> 07:37.220 upheaval in the Seventh-day Adventist church. 07:37.300 --> 07:40.640 Because these are the church administrators being trained right now. 07:40.680 --> 07:42.520 What was that in the 70s? 07:42.600 --> 07:43.580 Late 60s? 07:43.680 --> 07:44.460 Early 70s? 07:44.720 --> 07:45.620 Has that been true? 07:45.720 --> 07:46.720 Was that prophetic, Bob? 07:47.100 --> 07:47.500 Absolutely. 07:48.120 --> 07:51.940 As I looked around me, I knew there was a titanic struggle. 07:51.940 --> 07:56.960 And John, this issue goes far beyond just theology, which is very critical. 07:57.460 --> 08:00.380 It goes into the very core of our experience. 08:00.680 --> 08:06.420 With the fear of the Lord, are we going to surrender and submit to the Lord or are we 08:06.420 --> 08:08.160 going to imbibe of these things? 08:08.340 --> 08:13.980 And as I looked around, I said to myself, in 20 years, we're going to see upheavals 08:13.980 --> 08:15.760 in this church like you wouldn't believe. 08:16.320 --> 08:21.300 You said earlier, I appreciate so much, Bob, your honesty and forthrightness. 08:21.300 --> 08:25.020 And you admitted to me, you said, John, I've got to be honest and truthful 08:25.020 --> 08:28.440 with you that I got caught up in the Ford heresy. 08:28.740 --> 08:29.740 Tell us about that. 08:30.280 --> 08:35.760 Well, after I did a stint in Africa under the Adventist Volunteer Service Corps, 08:35.880 --> 08:39.720 teaching college and academy right out of the Bible, incidentally, in the spirit of 08:39.720 --> 08:40.100 prophecy. 08:40.340 --> 08:41.880 It was a tremendous experience. 08:41.880 --> 08:48.000 And I had a good, excellent Bible teacher in college who comprehended the great 08:48.000 --> 08:49.020 controversy issues. 08:49.020 --> 08:52.800 That was very meaningful to me. 08:52.920 --> 08:55.660 And I came back and I attended the seminary. 08:55.740 --> 08:59.020 I was very shocked by the ecumenical stance of the seminary. 08:59.400 --> 09:04.120 I will say this, there are some good men there, but the overall caste is an 09:04.120 --> 09:07.180 ecumenical type of caste and network. 09:07.180 --> 09:09.120 I found the same thing to be true in my theological training. 09:09.220 --> 09:10.300 It was very disturbing. 09:10.580 --> 09:12.640 There is, of course, new theology being taught there. 09:12.700 --> 09:15.180 We know that 20-20 vision now is being used. 09:15.180 --> 09:21.140 And whole departments are in that category. 09:21.380 --> 09:23.680 How did you get sucked up into this Ford thing, though, Bob? 09:23.680 --> 09:28.100 Well, what happened was, after five quarters at the seminary, I went to... my 09:28.100 --> 09:28.740 wife and I... 09:28.740 --> 09:29.620 This is Ed Andrews. 09:29.640 --> 09:29.960 Ed Andrews, right. 09:30.780 --> 09:33.080 I knew I had to answer some of these questions. 09:33.280 --> 09:38.200 Even after having studied the spirit of prophecy in the Bible for hours, 09:38.240 --> 09:43.000 every day for years, it was so disturbing to me, the things that I encountered, 09:43.000 --> 09:47.760 that I knew I needed time to answer these questions for myself. 09:48.000 --> 09:51.020 Was it the situation with the heavenly sanctuary, the things they were twisting 09:51.020 --> 09:51.580 concerning that? 09:51.600 --> 09:53.620 That's what I found when I was at Southern Missionary College. 09:54.340 --> 10:00.920 It was... with me, it was... it didn't jibe with the Book of Great Controversy. 10:01.040 --> 10:03.260 It didn't jibe with the Three Angels' Messages. 10:03.620 --> 10:04.620 You know, we use... 10:04.620 --> 10:04.920 What didn't jibe? 10:04.960 --> 10:05.660 What they were saying? 10:05.720 --> 10:10.600 The whole caste of the approach at the seminary bothered me. 10:10.600 --> 10:12.880 The approach toward Rome was very significant. 10:13.320 --> 10:16.920 Here, I, you know, I was... I cut my teeth on... 10:16.920 --> 10:17.680 Great Controversy. 10:17.700 --> 10:18.460 Great Controversy. 10:19.780 --> 10:21.600 And it didn't square up. 10:21.640 --> 10:23.360 It didn't square up with what I had taught. 10:23.780 --> 10:30.200 In fact, I had a class there right after I came back from Africa in which we had 10:30.200 --> 10:31.940 outright ecumenical books. 10:32.060 --> 10:33.320 One was by James F. 10:33.360 --> 10:38.460 White, New Forms of Worship, where it advocated dancing, hiring professional 10:38.460 --> 10:40.420 dancers to dance on the stage for worship. 10:40.420 --> 10:42.160 This is at seminary at Andrews. 10:42.380 --> 10:46.640 And recommended beyond that, even having the congregations dance. 10:46.720 --> 10:50.400 And then our people wonder why our preachers are the way they are today. 10:50.480 --> 10:54.480 And those with white hair in the Adventist church say, You know, the things we're 10:54.480 --> 10:58.580 hearing from the pulpits today don't match what we heard 30, 40 years ago. 10:58.720 --> 11:02.060 And they have a hard time understanding why there's been this big shift. 11:02.200 --> 11:06.440 It's because our ministry has been trained in ecumenicalism. 11:06.840 --> 11:10.180 Not only that, it started long before that in the educational system, as you know, 11:10.280 --> 11:10.400 John. 11:10.400 --> 11:15.680 There was one very dedicated professor there at the seminary who sometimes had to 11:15.680 --> 11:20.200 fast for days before he approached certain subjects because of the hostility of the 11:20.200 --> 11:22.300 fellows who had been trained in our colleges. 11:22.960 --> 11:26.320 They come into this with it fastened on them early on. 11:26.980 --> 11:32.600 Anyway, in this particular class, I had to critique the book. 11:32.600 --> 11:37.760 And I said, of course, well, this man had even recommended, he said, we are past the 11:37.760 --> 11:39.400 literary era. 11:39.560 --> 11:42.760 And so we need to use the banners of love and peace. 11:43.140 --> 11:47.520 And we're beyond the stage where people will read the Bible and that type of 11:47.520 --> 11:47.720 thing. 11:47.980 --> 11:51.540 So I said, of course, this man is an ecumenical and we cannot go along with 11:51.540 --> 11:52.740 what he's saying. 11:52.860 --> 11:56.460 We have to find our principles of worship in the word of God and the spirit of 11:56.460 --> 11:56.800 prophecy. 11:57.360 --> 11:59.360 The professor was furious. 11:59.360 --> 12:04.360 He came into class with the sheaf of analyses that the students had done. 12:04.920 --> 12:08.700 And he built up, as he was reading them, finally got to mine at the end. 12:08.740 --> 12:11.560 And he said, brethren, ecumenism is not a dirty word. 12:11.600 --> 12:13.400 And his face was just flushed with anger. 12:13.820 --> 12:17.880 He took excerpts from my paper and twisted them out of context. 12:18.680 --> 12:24.420 And a couple of weeks later, he called me into his office and he asked me the 12:24.420 --> 12:24.760 question. 12:24.880 --> 12:27.120 He said, are you an American? 12:27.120 --> 12:29.660 And I said, yes. 12:30.080 --> 12:32.500 He said, have you been a lifelong Adventist? 12:32.580 --> 12:33.380 I said, yes. 12:33.880 --> 12:37.780 And he said, are your parents Adventists? 12:37.880 --> 12:38.720 And I said, yes. 12:40.600 --> 12:42.120 And questions like this. 12:42.580 --> 12:48.160 And finally he said to me, I noticed you came down hard on the book we had for 12:48.160 --> 12:48.640 class. 12:48.760 --> 12:49.500 And I said, yes. 12:49.960 --> 12:52.940 And he said, now if this man was sitting here in this chair, don't you think we 12:52.940 --> 12:53.740 ought to talk to him? 12:54.220 --> 12:55.620 Of course, meaning ecumenical. 12:55.620 --> 12:57.500 But I took it in a little different vein. 12:57.660 --> 13:01.120 And I said, I'd be happy to talk to the man. 13:01.220 --> 13:05.520 But I said, as far as his book goes, it was directly contrary to the first 13:05.520 --> 13:06.300 angel's message. 13:06.780 --> 13:10.860 And the professor's mouth metaphorically dropped open and I got up and walked out 13:10.860 --> 13:11.420 of the office. 13:11.960 --> 13:14.280 But this is the kind of thing you encounter. 13:14.700 --> 13:17.360 This is exactly what I encountered at Southern College. 13:17.700 --> 13:18.140 Exactly. 13:19.340 --> 13:22.760 You know, I had been there my freshman year in 1970. 13:22.760 --> 13:26.100 But then I went my sophomore and junior year to last year. 13:26.160 --> 13:28.760 But then I had dropped out because I had become disillusioned. 13:29.380 --> 13:32.540 But when the Lord called me distinctively into the ministry and I went back to 13:32.540 --> 13:33.820 Southern College in 1979. 13:34.260 --> 13:37.460 This is exactly what I found at Southern College. 13:37.660 --> 13:43.000 And I would find myself at odds with my entire theology class and professor. 13:43.280 --> 13:47.320 Defending 1844, a day for a year, the heavenly sanctuary, character 13:47.320 --> 13:49.880 perfection, Ellen White, our cardinal doctrines. 13:49.900 --> 13:50.740 It was unbelievable. 13:50.740 --> 13:52.620 I couldn't believe the things were happening. 13:52.940 --> 13:57.560 And to find out that the same exact thing happened to you in our colleges. 13:58.140 --> 14:01.840 Well, I went, John, I took a break then and went and worked with my dad's medical 14:01.840 --> 14:02.440 practice. 14:02.820 --> 14:04.100 Giving Bible studies. 14:04.340 --> 14:06.560 We remodeled a number of houses for finances. 14:06.720 --> 14:08.220 We were on deferred appointment to Africa. 14:09.020 --> 14:11.780 And the conference ultimately offered me a district. 14:11.940 --> 14:14.420 But at that time I needed to go back and finish up my MDiv. 14:14.420 --> 14:21.080 And I ultimately went on for my MTH and basically took the bulk of the class work 14:21.080 --> 14:22.100 was doctoral work. 14:22.680 --> 14:28.380 And about the time I began my thesis for the MTH, I went back in the field. 14:28.440 --> 14:29.660 And I've been so busy ever since. 14:30.140 --> 14:31.580 And I was a college teacher. 14:31.720 --> 14:33.400 But in that break, at the end... 14:33.400 --> 14:34.120 You were a college teacher. 14:34.500 --> 14:37.600 So you've also taught on the college level. 14:37.600 --> 14:38.040 Oh, yes. 14:38.200 --> 14:43.920 In fact, I taught virtually every undergraduate course that is usually 14:43.920 --> 14:44.400 taught. 14:44.440 --> 14:47.680 Including some that aren't usually taught like Biblical Aramaic. 14:47.980 --> 14:51.300 How did you get to the mindset where you are today? 14:51.420 --> 14:56.860 How did you get in the groove of historic Adventism and come out of all of this 14:56.860 --> 14:57.060 stuff? 14:57.120 --> 14:58.060 That's what people ask me. 14:58.340 --> 15:03.040 John, how did you go through our educational system and get to where you 15:03.040 --> 15:03.500 are today? 15:03.560 --> 15:05.300 And I want to ask you that question now. 15:05.300 --> 15:07.840 Well, I knew it would be a battle at the seminary. 15:07.980 --> 15:11.180 And particularly after our first stint, when we went back the second time, 15:11.480 --> 15:15.560 I guarded, first of all, very carefully the communion with God. 15:15.700 --> 15:18.240 I had prayer walks in the morning, in the evening. 15:18.360 --> 15:20.580 I took my family for prayer walks morning and evening. 15:20.680 --> 15:22.440 There were families breaking up around us. 15:22.840 --> 15:25.280 There were faculty families breaking up. 15:26.720 --> 15:30.200 There were fellows selling their Spirit of Prophecy books, leaving the ministry, 15:30.360 --> 15:32.420 leaving the faith, all of that type of thing. 15:32.420 --> 15:37.820 And I devoted a certain segment of each day specifically for answering the 15:37.820 --> 15:41.720 questions that had arisen in my own mind as a result of doubts that had been raised 15:41.720 --> 15:42.300 in classes. 15:43.060 --> 15:51.500 I had one class that was so, so subtly satanic that I had to spend two hours each 15:51.500 --> 15:56.100 time after that class, after virtually every class period, in communion with the 15:56.100 --> 15:58.800 Lord to get rid of the evil spirit that haunted me after being in that class. 15:58.800 --> 16:05.520 Sometimes in my classes at Southern College, I would find myself weeping 16:05.520 --> 16:09.620 because I found my theology being rearranged. 16:09.740 --> 16:16.700 And I found my mind being rearranged and twisted by, you know, trying to take on 16:16.700 --> 16:21.320 one student, trying to take on the entire theology class and professors. 16:21.580 --> 16:22.760 That's awesome, Bob. 16:22.960 --> 16:26.220 Yet I found that day after day after day, and it got to the place where I didn't 16:26.220 --> 16:31.300 want to go to class anymore because I found out that defending historic 16:31.300 --> 16:33.840 Adventism made me an outcast. 16:34.060 --> 16:39.860 But, you know, I realized that the Lord, Bob, was preparing me for this time now. 16:39.880 --> 16:41.260 When you look back, you can see it. 16:41.260 --> 16:45.640 Yes, the Lord, if I couldn't have taken the onslaught that I got at Southern 16:45.640 --> 16:51.540 College as a student there, I could not withstand the persecution and revilement 16:52.280 --> 16:54.260 that I'm taking now in this independent ministry. 16:54.340 --> 16:55.580 So the Lord was preparing us. 16:55.780 --> 16:56.400 Praise His name. 16:56.400 --> 17:00.840 But you asked specifically, John, about how did I get into this groove. 17:01.480 --> 17:07.100 And about the end of the time when we had taken the break, just before I went back 17:07.100 --> 17:13.260 to the seminary to continue my studies, we began getting Ford tapes. 17:13.440 --> 17:16.060 Ford had just come here from Australia to PUC. 17:16.420 --> 17:21.920 And he was saying that justification is the third angel's message in verity. 17:21.980 --> 17:23.600 It's exactly what Ellen White says. 17:24.320 --> 17:26.940 And he's a very engaging personality. 17:27.060 --> 17:29.900 Very humble in his appearance and all. 17:30.200 --> 17:35.040 And I suppose I listened to about eight different sermons as I was working, 17:35.160 --> 17:36.000 remodeling houses. 17:36.380 --> 17:37.360 He's clever, Bob. 17:38.000 --> 17:38.820 He's clever. 17:39.360 --> 17:43.060 When we came back to the seminary, the Fordite movement was in full swing 17:43.060 --> 17:43.440 there. 17:43.540 --> 17:47.800 And there were many Australian students, many American students, lawyers, 17:48.180 --> 17:49.860 others who were entering the ministry. 17:49.860 --> 17:50.180 Brilliant people. 17:50.360 --> 17:51.000 Bright as light. 17:51.080 --> 17:51.720 Very keen. 17:51.860 --> 17:52.240 Yes. 17:52.240 --> 17:55.420 And these were our predominant friends. 17:55.660 --> 17:56.800 We ate in their homes. 17:56.940 --> 17:58.280 They ate in our home. 17:58.840 --> 18:06.280 We had fellowship and we had many experiences together. 18:06.560 --> 18:10.180 But that fall, I went back to school in the summertime, but that fall, 18:10.940 --> 18:17.640 I received the Pacific Union College forum tape in which Ford began exposing what his 18:17.640 --> 18:19.660 real position was on the sanctuary. 18:19.660 --> 18:22.800 And that was what really began triggering things in my experience. 18:22.920 --> 18:25.100 And I knew something horrendously was wrong. 18:25.200 --> 18:27.160 It didn't jibe with Great Controversy. 18:27.220 --> 18:30.900 It didn't jibe with our historic Adventist position on the sanctuary. 18:31.180 --> 18:35.240 I began getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning, night after night, reading 18:35.240 --> 18:43.620 Leviticus 16 in Hebrew, Daniel 8 in Hebrew, Hebrews 8 through 10 in Greek, 18:44.140 --> 18:45.060 wrestling with it. 18:45.100 --> 18:49.640 I remember one time I went on a walk and I said, Lord, give me light on this. 18:49.880 --> 18:57.760 And so I not only began researching that subject in depth, but I began studying one 18:57.760 --> 19:01.140 subject after another of Ford's entire theological package. 19:01.640 --> 19:06.580 I studied his issue on the nature of sin, his doctrine, compared it with Ellen White 19:06.580 --> 19:11.000 and the Scriptures, the nature of Christ, the issue of obedience, justification, 19:11.460 --> 19:15.700 sanctification, Sabbath, sanctuary, how the whole package fit together. 19:15.700 --> 19:21.540 And I came to the conclusion that there were two systems of theology struggling 19:21.540 --> 19:25.700 for the mastery in a life-and-death combat in our structure. 19:26.220 --> 19:29.920 And during this time, that fall, I was in the Fordite movement. 19:30.040 --> 19:35.220 I was the acting treasurer, and at Christmas time they put my name up to be 19:35.220 --> 19:36.680 president of the organization. 19:37.320 --> 19:42.640 And I declined because I had had enough doubts at that point as to where it was 19:42.640 --> 19:46.640 going, and I told them I don't know enough about where this movement is going. 19:46.840 --> 19:51.020 I did further research, and I came to the point about February, it must have been, 19:51.080 --> 19:51.860 of the next year. 19:52.180 --> 19:52.780 What year was that? 19:53.420 --> 19:54.940 That would have been 81. 19:56.640 --> 19:58.640 No, no, no, sorry, that would have been 80. 19:59.620 --> 20:04.400 I came to the point that it was not of the Lord. 20:04.440 --> 20:09.440 In fact, even the justification concepts were forensic-only justification instead 20:09.440 --> 20:13.260 of the kind of concept we see in 1 Selected Messages 366. 20:14.160 --> 20:19.160 It's fascinating to note that this was taking place in 1980, because in 79 and 80 20:19.160 --> 20:24.540 is when the Lord was pulling me as a brand from the burning into a particular 20:24.540 --> 20:27.480 ministry that He had for me. 20:27.720 --> 20:31.900 And that's exactly, it looks, the time that God was pulling you as a brand from 20:31.900 --> 20:36.440 the burning out of another lifestyle, out of another movement into the work that 20:36.440 --> 20:37.420 He had for you to do. 20:37.680 --> 20:41.700 I saw on the road to Damascus experience in preparation for what He really had for 20:41.700 --> 20:44.160 you to do at that time of 1980. 20:44.300 --> 20:45.860 That's when it was happening in my life, too. 20:45.920 --> 20:47.580 That's exciting, Bob, to realize. 20:47.720 --> 20:51.340 Yeah, I would like to emphasize, John, that the fellows that were in this 20:51.340 --> 20:53.980 movement were determined to take over this church. 20:54.140 --> 20:54.600 Oh, absolutely. 20:54.860 --> 21:00.060 Their philosophy and their theology was we are going to stay in this church and take 21:00.060 --> 21:00.380 it over. 21:00.460 --> 21:01.160 Take it over from the inside. 21:01.340 --> 21:05.440 The way the organization functioned on the campus, there was a hardcore group of 21:05.440 --> 21:06.460 those who could be trusted. 21:07.320 --> 21:10.940 And we had, for instance, one time I remember a missionary came through who had 21:10.940 --> 21:14.620 been let go in the Far East for his doctrinal positions. 21:15.200 --> 21:22.680 He presented in eight areas in which the New Theology needed to take over the 21:22.680 --> 21:23.020 church. 21:23.360 --> 21:28.000 He went on afterwards to get his doctorate, and now he's teaching at the 21:28.000 --> 21:28.400 seminary. 21:28.480 --> 21:31.020 He was taken in immediately after completion of his doctorate. 21:31.500 --> 21:34.920 And significant things have happened since he has been back there. 21:34.920 --> 21:40.160 But then they would hold big meetings where a professor who was in secret 21:40.160 --> 21:44.860 sympathy with this movement would speak, but the general public didn't realize it. 21:45.480 --> 21:47.300 And during the meeting, the place would be packed. 21:47.400 --> 21:49.000 He'd be a popular, eloquent speaker. 21:50.080 --> 21:53.660 The leaders of the movement would watch the audience carefully, and anyone that 21:53.660 --> 21:57.320 they noted that was paying particularly close attention, they would corner them on 21:57.320 --> 22:00.020 the way out and seek to draw them into the group. 22:00.020 --> 22:06.140 I came to the point when I was convinced, and I saw clearly, of the two systems of 22:06.140 --> 22:10.320 theology struggling for the mastery, and that this was a false movement. 22:11.320 --> 22:16.200 I went in, I took to a committee meeting, and I took my materials, and I handed them 22:16.200 --> 22:21.560 over, and I said, this movement is going nowhere, and it is not the movement that 22:21.560 --> 22:22.660 we are called to give. 22:23.020 --> 22:24.620 And their mouths dropped open. 22:24.720 --> 22:26.420 I got up and walked out. 22:26.420 --> 22:31.080 That summer, Glacier View took place. 22:35.060 --> 22:38.160 And at Glacier View, you know what happened there. 22:38.640 --> 22:42.000 Men came in from all over the world at great expense. 22:42.420 --> 22:51.540 Ford had spent six months preparing a 999-page document that gathered virtually 22:51.540 --> 22:57.820 every argument from history and current thought against the sanctuary that could 22:57.820 --> 23:00.100 be mustered at church expense. 23:01.300 --> 23:06.400 And at that point in 1981, his sanctuary position was condemned. 23:06.560 --> 23:12.000 I might say that Ford got his doctorate at the University of Manchester. 23:12.200 --> 23:13.640 His major professor was F.F. 23:13.720 --> 23:17.900 Bruce, who was Plymouth Brethren, once saved, always saved individual. 23:18.760 --> 23:25.200 And the Antiochus Epiphanes was seen as the Antichrist in that dissertation. 23:25.440 --> 23:27.280 We studied Bruce when I was in college, too. 23:27.400 --> 23:31.680 I remember one theology class that I had where they were just bringing in all of 23:31.680 --> 23:34.180 these theologians, and I raised such a stink. 23:34.260 --> 23:36.120 I said, why are we going to these men? 23:36.200 --> 23:37.560 Why are we learning from these men? 23:37.840 --> 23:41.260 And exactly the same situation happened with you, happened with me, where the 23:41.260 --> 23:47.200 professor's face flushed red, and he just became indignant that one of the theology 23:47.200 --> 23:50.500 students would question what he was doing in the books that he was using. 23:51.300 --> 23:53.880 Yeah, it's amazing. 23:54.440 --> 23:55.400 And go ahead, John. 23:55.420 --> 23:57.460 Okay, Bob, I've just got two questions. 23:57.860 --> 24:00.800 How did you start publishing Freedom's Ring? 24:00.960 --> 24:02.580 And what are all these books? 24:02.660 --> 24:04.260 I mean, they haven't even seen these on videos. 24:04.620 --> 24:08.760 But folks, over here on two tables are books. 24:08.880 --> 24:10.960 I mean, books and books and books. 24:10.960 --> 24:14.280 And I want to know what you have found in your research. 24:14.500 --> 24:18.860 We can take a little bit more time to cap off your history and to bring you into the 24:18.860 --> 24:21.740 arena of where you're publishing Freedom's Ring now. 24:21.900 --> 24:27.660 But I want to show these books and the material and how it relates to us as 24:27.660 --> 24:29.140 Seventh-day Adventists today. 24:29.700 --> 24:33.840 So bring us up to speed now to where you are in publishing Freedom's Ring, 24:33.920 --> 24:34.900 how you got to this place. 24:34.900 --> 24:39.400 Well, while I was teaching college, I've always loved religious liberty. 24:39.540 --> 24:41.320 One of my ancestors is William Penn. 24:43.140 --> 24:44.740 We had Huguenot ancestors. 24:45.260 --> 24:46.340 It's in my blood. 24:46.840 --> 24:50.680 And ever since college days, I've been interested in religious liberty. 24:50.880 --> 24:51.920 And so I began studying it. 24:51.960 --> 24:57.720 I began realizing that I had to give an answer myself at the end of time, 24:58.180 --> 25:02.440 personally, and give an account for where I stood on these issues. 25:02.440 --> 25:05.320 And I knew I couldn't leave that research up to anyone else. 25:05.460 --> 25:07.900 I began buying constitutional law books. 25:08.240 --> 25:10.520 I began speaking and writing on the subject. 25:10.680 --> 25:13.980 And various ones began encouraging me strongly to start up a paper. 25:14.380 --> 25:16.400 Actually, I'd wanted to do that for years. 25:16.940 --> 25:19.540 And finally we launched Freedom's Ring. 25:20.080 --> 25:24.060 And I do research, writing, editing. 25:24.360 --> 25:25.300 Now I love it. 25:25.420 --> 25:26.520 It's tremendous. 25:26.520 --> 25:32.260 Well, I tell you, I was sure edified by this bound volume of Freedom's Ring that 25:32.260 --> 25:33.900 you sent me before I went on vacation. 25:33.960 --> 25:37.880 I was able to spend some time just going through it page by page. 25:38.280 --> 25:46.920 I want to find out what is the first inclination that you had of us heading 25:46.920 --> 25:48.640 toward Catholicism. 25:48.640 --> 25:49.620 Was it in college? 25:50.060 --> 25:56.440 When did you come to realize that a major move was underway to get the Adventist 25:56.440 --> 26:00.460 church into the ecumenical movement and embracing Catholicism? 26:00.500 --> 26:04.600 Because that is basically what you have covered in page after page after page 26:04.600 --> 26:04.860 here. 26:05.240 --> 26:10.560 And it's in such depth that I'm wondering how long have you been aware of this? 26:10.600 --> 26:12.040 How long have you been working on this? 26:12.340 --> 26:16.720 How long has it been since God has been revealing this to your mind? 26:16.720 --> 26:21.340 Because many laymen today, and myself included, realize that this is happening. 26:21.780 --> 26:23.540 When did you start getting wind of this? 26:24.440 --> 26:27.200 First of all, John, I want to give all the glory to God. 26:27.320 --> 26:32.560 Because there are times when God has led me in a bookstore to a certain page as 26:32.560 --> 26:33.480 I've opened the book. 26:33.740 --> 26:37.660 And I have said to myself, I've got to buy this book just for that one sentence. 26:39.960 --> 26:44.780 Well, the question is, how did I begin to become aware of Catholicism? 26:44.840 --> 26:46.360 I'd like to show you a book here, John. 26:46.360 --> 26:48.020 Well, show us these books that you've got, Bob. 26:51.680 --> 26:55.620 We're going to have to bring a camera over here a little bit and show these viewers 26:55.620 --> 26:57.460 the close-up of this. 26:57.680 --> 26:59.080 But this is a tremendous amount. 26:59.120 --> 27:02.900 I mean, you've got hundreds of dollars right here just in books. 27:02.980 --> 27:04.380 This is just a fraction of it, John. 27:04.500 --> 27:08.800 And when you came to speak here at Rolling Hills last Sabbath, it was so funny. 27:09.100 --> 27:10.840 You brought one big case of books in. 27:11.000 --> 27:13.420 Then somebody was following you, I think it was your son, with another big 27:13.420 --> 27:13.960 case of books. 27:14.160 --> 27:15.540 And then another big case of books. 27:15.540 --> 27:17.800 And I said, I thought I carried around a lot of books. 27:17.900 --> 27:19.440 This is phenomenal material. 27:19.820 --> 27:20.940 Let's just start in. 27:21.100 --> 27:25.280 And you start showing us book by book, page by page, the things that you have 27:25.280 --> 27:25.600 found. 27:26.380 --> 27:32.000 Well, John, just as we were starting to launch Freedom's Ring, I walked into a 27:32.000 --> 27:32.340 bookstore. 27:34.220 --> 27:38.940 And there was this book, The Keys of This Blood, The Struggle for World Dominion. 27:39.340 --> 27:40.060 Malachi Martin. 27:40.260 --> 27:43.200 John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev, and The Capitalist West. 27:43.200 --> 27:46.260 And I instantly knew that was a significant book. 27:46.500 --> 27:53.040 In fact, the first issue of Freedom's Ring dealt with just a quick synopsis of this 27:53.040 --> 27:53.440 book. 27:54.280 --> 28:04.080 And I immediately recognized that this was completely the flip side of the coin of 28:04.080 --> 28:04.840 great controversy. 28:04.940 --> 28:07.760 What Ellen White says in the chapter, Liberty of Conscience Threatened. 28:08.220 --> 28:11.400 Actually, I should back up just a little bit here, John. 28:11.400 --> 28:16.100 We had started a study group in which we were studying the celebration issue. 28:16.700 --> 28:20.960 And we had been studying out of modern revivals and the great controversy, 28:21.180 --> 28:28.500 showing that this Pentecostalism was the foretold false revival that is seeking to 28:28.500 --> 28:29.240 blunt the true. 28:29.760 --> 28:35.380 And, John, really what I see happening right now in the Church is a titanic 28:35.380 --> 28:40.260 spiritual struggle of the Lord trying to bring about the revival of primitive 28:40.260 --> 28:40.740 godliness. 28:40.740 --> 28:48.480 And certain agencies under the influence of Christ's adversary doing everything 28:48.480 --> 28:50.100 possible to block it. 28:51.560 --> 28:56.740 But the connection with the papacy came much more clearly. 28:57.500 --> 29:04.520 I noticed that Malachi Martin tells of how the papacy was involved in bringing down 29:04.520 --> 29:09.580 the Iron Curtain, in the swift developments that took place in Eastern 29:09.580 --> 29:12.100 Europe with the demise of Communism there. 29:12.860 --> 29:20.080 I had also been speaking, John, about Penny Lerneau's book, The People of 29:20.080 --> 29:22.500 God, The Struggle for World Catholicism. 29:23.020 --> 29:28.480 And in this book, Penny Lerneau, who is a liberal Catholic writer and 29:28.480 --> 29:34.360 worker in South America and Inter-America, tells of how John Paul II is wanting to 29:34.360 --> 29:39.380 take the entire world back to the way it was before the Protestant Reformation. 29:40.080 --> 29:45.440 It's a movement called Reconstructionism, and it is a movement that involves 29:45.440 --> 29:51.400 integralism, which means integrating all of life under the domination of the 29:51.400 --> 29:52.660 papacy. 29:53.400 --> 29:57.920 And so I was aware of some of these developments that were taking place. 29:57.920 --> 30:06.180 In Malachi Martin's book, he discusses in a chapter there the picture of John Paul 30:06.180 --> 30:12.740 II contemplating the world scene and categorizing each ideological entity that 30:12.740 --> 30:18.000 he is having to overcome in his drive for global domination over every individual, 30:18.200 --> 30:22.760 over every nation, over every religion, over everything in the world. 30:22.760 --> 30:29.100 And in one compartment, in one room, he classifies the minimalists, 30:29.480 --> 30:32.400 and Seventh-day Adventism appears right there. 30:32.540 --> 30:34.000 It's right in the book. 30:35.020 --> 30:39.900 And the position of John Paul II, according to Malachi Martin, as he surveys 30:39.900 --> 30:43.700 the Seventh-day Adventists and people in that category, the minimalists are people 30:43.700 --> 30:47.920 who don't believe that they will ever have a majority of the human population on 30:47.920 --> 30:48.400 their side. 30:49.860 --> 30:56.140 He says that the Seventh-day Adventists, the minimalists, are going to have to fit 30:56.140 --> 30:59.380 into the New World Order or become extinct. 31:00.920 --> 31:01.880 Or become extinct. 31:02.060 --> 31:07.260 Does that remind you of Revelation 13 about us being killed? 31:07.820 --> 31:08.420 Absolutely. 31:08.600 --> 31:11.020 Verse 15, I believe it is, that they shall be killed. 31:11.140 --> 31:15.340 That if we do not go along with what they want, we will become extinct. 31:15.340 --> 31:22.780 And he says individuals may hold out for a longer time, but it will come to the point 31:22.780 --> 31:26.100 where they'll have to fit in, or else become extinct. 31:27.580 --> 31:34.200 And so, we dealt in the second issue of Freedom's Ring with John Paul's confident 31:34.200 --> 31:38.340 assessment of the minimalists, and Seventh-day Adventists in particular, 31:38.740 --> 31:43.520 that they will be absorbed into the full faith of the Roman Catholic Church, 31:43.880 --> 31:44.380 ultimately. 31:45.380 --> 31:49.060 The thing that was so fascinating for me in your bound volume of Freedom's Ring, 31:49.140 --> 31:54.500 and listen, right here at the outset, let's give your address of how the people 31:54.500 --> 31:55.880 can get copies of Freedom's Ring. 31:55.980 --> 32:01.860 If anybody does not have copies of Freedom's Ring, Bob, do you call it a 32:01.860 --> 32:02.880 magazine, a newsletter? 32:04.180 --> 32:06.520 It's a paper on religious liberation. 32:06.740 --> 32:07.260 A paper, okay. 32:07.920 --> 32:11.960 If you're not getting Bob's paper entitled Freedom's Ring, you need to be on his mail 32:11.960 --> 32:12.140 list. 32:12.140 --> 32:14.800 Give us the address right now, we'll put it up on the screen. 32:15.060 --> 32:20.600 Right now, the paper runs about 18 pages, and the address is Box 200, Hermosa, 32:23.260 --> 32:25.760 South Dakota, 57744. 32:26.120 --> 32:27.880 Now, do you have a subscription price? 32:28.040 --> 32:28.700 How does this work? 32:28.720 --> 32:33.520 Well, we figure that we need to get about $3 per issue to function. 32:33.880 --> 32:37.440 And that's what we ask for as a contribution, as a gift. 32:37.440 --> 32:45.400 And the bound volume of all of Volume 1 and Volume 2, we need a gift of $25. 32:46.000 --> 32:50.380 Okay, so for $25, can they get this complete bound edition that you gave to 32:50.380 --> 32:50.580 me? 32:50.700 --> 32:51.500 What a deal. 32:51.720 --> 32:58.900 From the very beginning, you have made it clear that celebration fits right in to 32:58.900 --> 33:03.720 the Catholic scheme of bringing all the, quote, Protestant churches that have run 33:03.720 --> 33:06.160 away from the Mother Church back into the fold. 33:06.160 --> 33:08.940 Explain how celebration fits into all of this, Bob. 33:08.940 --> 33:09.920 That's the next stage, John. 33:10.000 --> 33:14.220 I was walking through my personal library one evening, and I was thinking how 33:14.220 --> 33:19.440 interesting it would be to lay hands on top Jesuit documents of their plan for 33:19.440 --> 33:22.680 accomplishing what Ellen White says in Great Controversy about bringing all the 33:22.680 --> 33:24.720 churches back into their fold. 33:25.540 --> 33:29.580 And I thought, lacking that, I can deal at least with public material. 33:29.880 --> 33:33.500 And I had a copy of the Vatican II documents. 33:35.120 --> 33:37.020 Now, that's two volumes, isn't it? 33:37.040 --> 33:41.880 Because I have two volumes concerning Vatican II. 33:42.200 --> 33:45.900 Now, was Pope John XXIII... 33:45.900 --> 33:46.840 XXIII called it. 33:47.020 --> 33:48.840 Right, back in 1962, wasn't it? 33:48.840 --> 33:52.380 He actually called it on January 25th, 1959. 33:52.760 --> 33:54.000 Okay, now what was Vatican II? 33:55.620 --> 33:59.280 Okay, John, if I could give a little historical background of celebration, 33:59.400 --> 33:59.840 I'd like to. 33:59.900 --> 34:00.460 Would that be alright? 34:00.620 --> 34:01.020 Absolutely. 34:02.340 --> 34:08.160 First of all, just my encountering the documents of Vatican II, the first section 34:08.160 --> 34:12.180 of the documents of Vatican II is the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. 34:12.920 --> 34:14.000 Explain that word. 34:14.380 --> 34:16.800 Liturgy means the worship service format. 34:17.660 --> 34:19.800 Liturgy, it means the worship service. 34:19.900 --> 34:20.440 Format. 34:20.560 --> 34:23.520 And that's, of course, what has been agitating our church. 34:23.520 --> 34:24.940 That's what celebration is. 34:24.940 --> 34:25.420 Right. 34:25.580 --> 34:30.060 Now, the Sacred Council, it says here, has set out to impart ever-increasing 34:30.060 --> 34:34.380 vigor to the Christian life of the faithful, to adapt more closely to the 34:34.380 --> 34:38.840 needs of our age, those institutions which are subject to change, to foster whatever 34:38.840 --> 34:43.980 can promote union among all who believe in Christ, to strengthen whatever can help to 34:43.980 --> 34:47.120 call all mankind into the Church's fold. 34:47.960 --> 34:53.300 Accordingly, it sees particularly cogent reasons for undertaking the reform and 34:53.300 --> 34:54.940 promotion of the liturgy. 34:55.040 --> 35:01.780 So, this is the foreword or the preface of Vatican II, that it is out to change the 35:01.780 --> 35:07.420 worship hour of Protestant churches, and to blend them in to the liturgy or the 35:07.420 --> 35:09.960 worship service of the Roman Catholic Church. 35:10.020 --> 35:13.760 Because the purpose is to call all mankind into the Church's fold, and in Roman 35:13.760 --> 35:15.860 Catholic thinking, there's one Church. 35:15.860 --> 35:15.980 Right. 35:16.360 --> 35:20.140 And they're going to use the worship structure, the worship hour structure, 35:20.420 --> 35:20.980 to do it. 35:21.100 --> 35:21.320 Sure. 35:22.400 --> 35:26.360 It reaches the congregation at the broadest level. 35:26.500 --> 35:27.940 Everyone's expected to be there. 35:28.000 --> 35:28.620 At the worship hour. 35:28.720 --> 35:33.920 And page 46 calls on the pastors to introduce it, gradually explaining the 35:33.920 --> 35:35.580 reasons for it as they go along. 35:35.840 --> 35:35.840 We've heard that. 35:35.840 --> 35:36.540 We've heard that. 35:36.760 --> 35:41.260 Now, John, when we look at the term celebration, and incidentally, 35:41.340 --> 35:44.700 it occurs on virtually every page of the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, 35:44.700 --> 35:47.280 as many as 14 times on a page. 35:47.440 --> 35:49.500 Celebrant, celebration, celebrate. 35:49.900 --> 35:51.220 It's all through Vatican II. 35:52.460 --> 35:56.280 Celebration is the Catholic term for its services. 35:56.720 --> 36:01.600 Marriages, funerals, the Eucharist, Mass, they're all celebrations. 36:01.860 --> 36:08.080 In fact, even the Council of Trent was called a celebration. 36:08.500 --> 36:12.300 And in here we have the bull for the celebration of the Council of Trent. 36:12.300 --> 36:16.340 And yet, I felt that I didn't know where it came from. 36:16.460 --> 36:20.760 But suddenly, several years ago, we just began seeing celebration in 36:20.760 --> 36:21.180 everything. 36:21.320 --> 36:24.640 All of our periodicals, everybody was talking about it in the church bulletins. 36:25.020 --> 36:28.860 Suddenly the word celebration just sprang to life in the Seventh-day Adventist 36:28.860 --> 36:29.060 Church. 36:29.280 --> 36:33.060 And I couldn't figure out for the life of me where we got that term. 36:33.160 --> 36:35.400 We started naming magazines after it and everything. 36:35.680 --> 36:39.020 Everybody in all the leadership was talking about celebration this and 36:39.020 --> 36:39.680 celebration that. 36:39.740 --> 36:40.780 Everything was a celebration. 36:40.780 --> 36:48.880 And now to realize that back in 1962, this was the term that was used throughout 36:48.880 --> 36:56.680 the documentation of Vatican II for the worship hour. 36:57.180 --> 36:58.640 And that's where it comes from. 36:58.800 --> 37:02.360 But it's been called... you see, in Roman Catholicism, celebration is a 37:02.360 --> 37:03.280 very ancient term. 37:03.380 --> 37:05.580 It's always called its services celebrations. 37:06.120 --> 37:08.740 Like the Council of Trent was in the 16th century. 37:08.740 --> 37:10.500 And we've just adopted this Catholic term. 37:10.520 --> 37:15.420 All the sessions of the Council of Trent were called celebrations. 37:16.080 --> 37:19.420 In fact, it goes back to the mystery religions in Babylon, ancient Babylon. 37:19.640 --> 37:21.240 They celebrated the mysteries. 37:21.700 --> 37:25.840 But Bob, if it was just the word, that would be one thing. 37:25.960 --> 37:29.640 But we've adopted much more than just the Catholic word celebration. 37:30.200 --> 37:34.000 It's everything that the word celebration in Catholicism entails. 37:34.000 --> 37:41.160 Yes, and the sequence, the historical sequence of developments leading us to the 37:41.160 --> 37:44.740 point we are at now is absolutely fascinating and stunning. 37:45.520 --> 37:47.920 Now, John, a little more history about this celebration. 37:48.440 --> 37:52.260 According to Vatican II, Sunday is the chief celebration of Rome. 37:52.560 --> 37:53.620 The chief celebration. 37:54.260 --> 38:00.940 And in the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, there is a flow that I began 38:00.940 --> 38:01.380 noticing. 38:01.380 --> 38:06.380 I began underlining things that were paralleling developments in our church. 38:07.200 --> 38:11.880 And I saw that musical celebrations were to be the most effective celebrations. 38:12.320 --> 38:13.820 Music has something to do with this? 38:14.020 --> 38:16.240 And the popular music was to be brought in. 38:16.320 --> 38:19.120 Now, 25 years ago, that was pretty revolutionary. 38:19.680 --> 38:24.360 And we know, we have good friends who were Roman Catholics who are now historic 38:24.360 --> 38:25.460 biblical Adventists. 38:25.460 --> 38:30.520 And they said they noticed immediately after Vatican II, the guitars were brought 38:30.520 --> 38:30.780 in. 38:31.020 --> 38:32.840 The whole music was changed. 38:32.900 --> 38:36.400 But I want to address some of that a little more in depth a little bit later, 38:36.600 --> 38:36.680 John. 38:36.700 --> 38:41.320 Because here's something that tells us, gives us an ominous note as to where 38:41.320 --> 38:43.800 celebration ultimately goes. 38:43.800 --> 38:50.300 And that is, in the Spanish Inquisition, the most pious and the most holy 38:50.300 --> 38:56.880 celebration of the papacy was the auto de fe, the burning of heretics at the stake. 38:57.360 --> 39:01.660 And here I have Henry Charles Lee's History of the Inquisition of Spain. 39:01.780 --> 39:06.340 Now, Henry Charles Lee is the definitive work on this subject. 39:06.460 --> 39:08.680 He went into the very archives of Spain. 39:08.680 --> 39:15.820 It was called a celebrado in the Spanish Inquisition, the service of burning people 39:15.820 --> 39:16.280 at the stake. 39:16.400 --> 39:19.580 They would have people, they would have choirs singing, tediums. 39:19.880 --> 39:22.340 They would have a thousand notables marching. 39:22.480 --> 39:23.640 The king would be present. 39:24.340 --> 39:27.880 And here's a chapter called the celebration, right here. 39:28.680 --> 39:29.320 The celebration. 39:29.620 --> 39:30.900 Celebration of the auto de fe. 39:30.900 --> 39:36.240 And if people found that they were losing their nerve as they watched people burning 39:36.240 --> 39:41.480 at the stake and wanted reconciliation with the church, they could request that. 39:41.580 --> 39:43.740 And the inquisitors would speak with them. 39:44.100 --> 39:48.500 And if they decided to grant them reconciliation, canon law said that they 39:48.500 --> 39:50.520 had to spend the rest of their days in prison. 39:50.720 --> 39:54.640 So you were faced in the Inquisition, if you were even suspect of a heretic, 39:55.100 --> 39:56.020 of being a heretic. 39:56.020 --> 40:01.680 And Leonard Levy, in his Origins of the Fifth Amendment, a Pulitzer Prize winning 40:01.680 --> 40:08.320 book in 1969, says that anyone that got in the toils of the Inquisition, of all of 40:08.320 --> 40:14.000 those individuals, there is not one record of anyone ever escaping unscathed. 40:14.000 --> 40:16.660 So once you were suspected, that was it. 40:16.800 --> 40:22.340 And it was the stake, if you were faithful, imprisonment if you recanted. 40:22.340 --> 40:31.140 So you had to be so totally against the heretics to escape being even caught. 40:31.880 --> 40:37.740 It kind of reminds me of the French Revolution to where anybody that was even 40:37.740 --> 40:41.840 suspect of being a sympathizer was taken to the guillotine. 40:42.000 --> 40:42.780 That's right, John. 40:43.160 --> 40:49.840 And Henry Charles Lee also has definitive work on the Inquisition of the Middle 40:49.840 --> 40:50.220 Ages. 40:50.220 --> 40:57.940 And he tells in this book, this is just a paperback section of it, the three volume 40:57.940 --> 40:59.700 set is about, you know, yea wide. 41:00.200 --> 41:04.660 But he tells of how the Inquisitors would come into an area, they would call all the 41:04.660 --> 41:08.160 population out, and everyone was to tell everything they knew about any heretics. 41:08.940 --> 41:13.020 There was only one area that escaped from this, and that was because the people 41:13.020 --> 41:15.440 covenanted not to tell on each other. 41:16.020 --> 41:17.900 And the Inquisitors couldn't do anything. 41:18.020 --> 41:19.800 It was still in the early stages of the Inquisition. 41:19.800 --> 41:21.560 And they had ways of dealing with that later on. 41:22.240 --> 41:27.780 But betrayal of others was the proof of conversion, you see. 41:28.580 --> 41:36.760 And what happened was the Inquisition was designed to instill terror in the 41:36.760 --> 41:37.420 population. 41:38.140 --> 41:42.620 Utter fear so that the people would subject themselves, tell everything they 41:42.620 --> 41:42.800 knew. 41:42.800 --> 41:49.640 They had records of everything across Europe, and any heretic, their genealogy 41:49.640 --> 41:52.240 was examined, and they kept records for generations. 41:52.480 --> 41:54.000 But Bob, that was hundreds of years ago. 41:54.080 --> 41:56.820 That doesn't have anything to do with the Adventist Church and what we're going 41:56.820 --> 41:58.220 through today, does it? 41:58.620 --> 42:01.920 Well, what does Great Controversy tell us in the chapter, Liberty of Conscience 42:01.920 --> 42:02.320 Threatened? 42:02.340 --> 42:03.620 I'm being facetious, obviously. 42:03.620 --> 42:04.260 I know, John. 42:04.280 --> 42:05.460 That's exactly what it says. 42:05.460 --> 42:06.400 But it's coming back. 42:06.480 --> 42:07.120 It's coming back. 42:07.120 --> 42:11.280 It's coming back, and the Pope is absolutely clear that this is where he's 42:11.280 --> 42:12.300 wanting to take us to. 42:12.300 --> 42:18.120 You see, the Inquisition was the effort to impose uniformity and unity in the Church. 42:18.180 --> 42:22.740 And in the name of unity, they burned people, imprisoned them, cut their tongues 42:22.740 --> 42:24.120 out, tortured them, whatever. 42:24.660 --> 42:29.460 So, what we see of persecution of historic Adventists today in the Seventh-day 42:29.460 --> 42:33.820 Adventist Church is minuscule in comparison to what we are going to see in 42:33.820 --> 42:35.040 the coming months and years. 42:35.260 --> 42:36.500 This is just the beginning. 42:36.500 --> 42:41.260 This didn't start out... the Inquisition didn't start out doing this horrendous 42:41.260 --> 42:42.820 crimes against mankind. 42:43.280 --> 42:47.060 It started out subtly, just as the persecution is starting out now in the 42:47.060 --> 42:48.320 Seventh-day Adventist Church subtly. 42:48.600 --> 42:52.540 But I want to tell our historic Adventist people that we haven't seen anything... 42:52.540 --> 42:56.840 this is child's play in the comparison to what God's people are going to have to go 42:56.840 --> 43:00.580 through from their very own fellow Seventh-day Adventists before this thing 43:00.580 --> 43:01.480 is all said and done. 43:01.760 --> 43:04.460 Bob, how have we played into Rome's hands? 43:04.460 --> 43:06.860 How have we done their bidding? 43:07.040 --> 43:12.780 How has our leadership come to the place where we are following the history of the 43:12.780 --> 43:13.860 Inquisition? 43:14.000 --> 43:19.180 Okay, John, I'd like to look at a sequence of developments here with you on this very 43:19.180 --> 43:20.480 subject historically. 43:20.740 --> 43:21.880 Just look at the facts. 43:22.100 --> 43:24.920 And that's what my concern is, to look at the facts. 43:25.520 --> 43:31.280 In the 1950s, we as biblical Adventists know that there was tremendous ferment in 43:31.280 --> 43:33.580 our church over the evangelical conferences. 43:33.580 --> 43:36.380 1956-1957, questions on doctrine. 43:36.740 --> 43:40.760 And then in 1958, it's very interesting that G.C. 43:41.320 --> 43:45.520 Burkhardt, a prominent Dutch Reformed theologian, put out a book, Recent 43:45.520 --> 43:49.480 Developments in Roman Catholic Thought, where he examined what was going on in the 43:49.480 --> 43:51.440 thinking of Roman Catholicism. 43:51.540 --> 43:57.240 And he warned the world that if they could not take a position of, we know, 43:57.400 --> 44:02.100 based on the Word, they would lapse back into the ex-cathedral decisions of Rome. 44:02.100 --> 44:08.500 The very next year, 1959, Pope John XXIII, January XXV, announces his intention to 44:08.500 --> 44:10.500 call an ecumenical council. 44:11.540 --> 44:17.400 1962-65, you have the Vatican Council meeting, which would forever change the 44:17.400 --> 44:18.980 face of the religious world. 44:19.640 --> 44:24.300 And this, of course, calls for revitalized celebration services to attract the world 44:24.300 --> 44:26.200 back into the fold of Rome. 44:26.200 --> 44:33.080 Now, immediately after that council, in 1966, the Catholic charismatic movement 44:33.080 --> 44:34.160 begins exploding. 44:34.800 --> 44:37.500 And this all can be documented, John. 44:38.000 --> 44:44.920 We have this book, The Pentecostal Movement, by Edward D. 44:44.960 --> 44:49.580 O'Connor, the definitive study of a dynamic spiritual rebirth from the 44:49.580 --> 44:53.440 standpoint of Catholic theology and its significance in Catholic life and thought 44:53.440 --> 44:53.440 today. 44:53.440 --> 44:55.360 Catholics looking at Pentecostalism. 44:55.400 --> 44:56.480 I'd like to see that. 44:57.060 --> 45:00.440 Well, John, there's a lot more. 45:00.620 --> 45:05.440 There's a lot of material that can be produced on this subject. 45:06.140 --> 45:11.200 Catholics looking into Pentecostalism and us understanding today how Pentecostalism 45:11.200 --> 45:15.300 fits in with the Catholic strategy to unify all the churches and how they plan 45:15.300 --> 45:20.940 on using the speaking in tongues and the charismatic movement and how it ties in 45:20.940 --> 45:22.020 with love and unity. 45:22.020 --> 45:24.760 Have we been hearing about love and unity in the Seventh Adventist Church? 45:25.200 --> 45:26.720 We've been hammered with it for decades. 45:27.080 --> 45:28.740 Oh, it's nauseating, Bob. 45:28.820 --> 45:31.500 It's that lovesick sentimentalism that Ellen White talks about. 45:31.800 --> 45:37.700 We have just been inundated from every direction with this banner of love and 45:37.700 --> 45:38.220 unity. 45:38.420 --> 45:41.100 And it comes right out of Vatican II. 45:41.360 --> 45:43.980 I mean, reading this material of yours is just phenomenal. 45:44.320 --> 45:46.460 This is what's going on in the Seventh Adventist Church. 45:46.660 --> 45:49.600 And to realize that it came out of Vatican II in 1962. 45:49.600 --> 45:53.460 And that's what we see, you know, here 30 years later in the Seventh 45:53.460 --> 45:54.300 Adventist Church. 45:54.560 --> 45:54.720 Exactly. 45:54.900 --> 45:59.600 If we are not walking closely with the Lord in the fear of the Lord, we get swept 45:59.600 --> 46:00.220 into all of this. 46:00.400 --> 46:00.560 Unbelievable. 46:00.560 --> 46:02.540 At the end of time, there's only two camps. 46:02.720 --> 46:05.900 Those who are standing on the three angels' messages and Babylon. 46:06.660 --> 46:11.260 And Sarah Diamond, who is a sociologist in her book, Spiritual Warfare, The Politics 46:11.260 --> 46:17.020 of the Christian Right, documents for us how high-level contacts were made then 46:17.020 --> 46:20.720 between the Catholic charismatic movement, which shortly was a million members 46:20.720 --> 46:27.220 strong, and how they joined in the council organization at the highest levels with 46:27.220 --> 46:29.720 the Protestant charismatic movement. 46:30.040 --> 46:32.300 They didn't want the members to know about it. 46:32.380 --> 46:33.060 Oh, everything is a secret. 46:33.060 --> 46:34.320 But they did it secretly. 46:34.440 --> 46:34.860 Yes. 46:34.960 --> 46:36.620 And she talks about that in here. 46:37.080 --> 46:42.720 This is a very fascinating book because she paints the very picture for us there. 46:42.720 --> 46:44.880 Now, we're showing these on screen. 46:45.460 --> 46:48.380 Now, they can pick these up at the public bookstore or public library. 46:48.480 --> 46:48.900 Where can people get these books? 46:48.900 --> 46:50.880 In most cases, you can order them, like, from B. 46:50.960 --> 46:51.780 Dalton Bookseller. 46:51.900 --> 46:56.000 Now, Documents of Vatican II, you can get from Erdman's for $9.95. 46:56.240 --> 46:57.900 They pay the shipping on it. 46:59.120 --> 47:00.960 You may have to special order them. 47:01.260 --> 47:04.460 So, any diligent researcher, though, can get their hands on these books that 47:04.460 --> 47:05.100 you're referring to. 47:05.120 --> 47:05.780 Oh, absolutely. 47:05.780 --> 47:11.840 I noticed here that it talks about how they realized that they must educate the 47:11.840 --> 47:13.240 ministry into celebration. 47:13.320 --> 47:13.580 Oh, yes. 47:13.660 --> 47:16.760 And that's exactly what we see going on today in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 47:16.900 --> 47:20.560 Every institution of higher learning was to promote ecumenism. 47:20.560 --> 47:26.380 Now, John, coming in a timeline here, in 1968, it's very interesting what 47:26.380 --> 47:26.720 happened. 47:26.860 --> 47:34.760 Because we joined a significant part of the World Council of Churches called the 47:34.760 --> 47:36.680 World Confessional Families. 47:37.340 --> 47:41.180 And this book documents it, Dictionary of the Ecumenical Movement, which just came 47:41.180 --> 47:41.440 out. 47:41.860 --> 47:43.920 It costs about $70, this book. 47:44.380 --> 47:49.700 But, at any rate, we joined it in 1968, the World Confessional Families. 47:50.860 --> 47:53.700 Now, is that everything to do with the World Council of Churches? 47:53.820 --> 47:54.120 Absolutely. 47:54.420 --> 47:55.460 It's very significant. 47:55.640 --> 48:01.880 Because it is so significant that the top Jesuits, when they go to write a book 48:01.880 --> 48:09.680 based on statements or decisions made by the World Council of Churches, 48:09.740 --> 48:11.940 they consult heavily with the World Council of Churches. 48:11.980 --> 48:12.760 And I'll tell you why. 48:13.840 --> 48:15.700 1968, we joined this. 48:15.880 --> 48:17.660 Now it's called Christian World Communions. 48:17.660 --> 48:23.420 And at the same time, in the same year, the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting 48:23.420 --> 48:25.420 Christian Unity joined. 48:26.220 --> 48:29.120 But our people are told whenever they ask B.B. 48:29.220 --> 48:32.280 Beech or any of these men at the General Conference if we have anything to do with 48:32.280 --> 48:36.960 the World Council of Churches, they categorically deny that we have 48:36.960 --> 48:39.760 joined the World Council of Churches or the National Council of Churches, 48:39.840 --> 48:41.760 and that we have nothing to do with that. 48:41.920 --> 48:45.880 We're just an advisory type situation, but we're not members. 48:45.880 --> 48:51.180 And they just try to tell our people that this is just these independent ministries 48:51.180 --> 48:54.020 stirring up a tempest in a teapot, and it's not true. 48:54.400 --> 48:56.700 But now you're saying that we're a member of what? 48:57.400 --> 49:00.340 On a technicality, John, we are not a technical member. 49:00.560 --> 49:05.260 But we belong to the World Confessional Families, which the Roman Catholic Church 49:05.260 --> 49:05.940 belongs to. 49:06.100 --> 49:11.400 And the Roman Catholic Church is swinging a tremendous influence in the World 49:11.400 --> 49:15.340 Council of Churches, having joint working groups, etc. 49:15.600 --> 49:23.620 And not only that, but we have been sitting on the Faith and Order Commission. 49:24.260 --> 49:30.260 Now this is a book on Faith and Order 1985-1989, which is the most important 49:30.260 --> 49:32.540 commission in the World Council of Churches. 49:33.180 --> 49:35.840 This is a report on their meeting in 1989. 49:36.640 --> 49:41.440 And right in the back here you can read who our representative is on it. 49:41.440 --> 49:45.680 Dr. Raoul Detteren, Seventh-day Adventist Church, SDA Theological Seminary. 49:46.260 --> 49:48.140 And he's been sitting on this. 49:48.380 --> 49:50.480 We have had a representative on Faith and Order. 49:50.780 --> 49:54.600 And this is one of our major professors teaching our theologians, training our 49:54.600 --> 49:55.000 pastors. 49:55.120 --> 49:58.400 And then we wonder why we hear what we hear from the Adventist pulpits today. 49:58.520 --> 50:04.260 One reason, John, our ministry worldwide could not cope with the Fordite issue was 50:04.260 --> 50:07.940 because they were already several steps down the New Theology from their training. 50:07.940 --> 50:12.780 For decades now, New Theology positions on the nature of sin and the nature of Christ 50:12.780 --> 50:14.760 have been taught at the seminary. 50:14.840 --> 50:18.020 And that's why the rank-and-file minister couldn't come to grips with it, 50:18.020 --> 50:20.740 because he was already several steps down that road. 50:21.760 --> 50:28.020 You say here that the pattern was set, celebrate, then annihilate. 50:28.100 --> 50:29.060 Now what do you mean by that? 50:29.080 --> 50:31.020 Well, that's just what we were talking about. 50:31.020 --> 50:35.240 Because the union of the churches, according to great controversy, 50:35.440 --> 50:37.740 is the last step before persecution. 50:38.300 --> 50:43.680 And persecution, at the end of time, ultimately winds up in the universal death 50:43.680 --> 50:44.640 decree against the faithful. 50:44.640 --> 50:48.100 Bob, can we give encouragement to our historic Adventists that the fact that the 50:48.100 --> 50:52.300 celebration movement from Catholicism has now come in full force into the 50:52.300 --> 50:58.340 Seventh-day Adventist Church, that the next step is major persecution and the 50:58.340 --> 51:04.180 time of trouble, that this is just the precursor of what we're going into as far 51:04.180 --> 51:06.280 as the time of trouble, the beginning of the time of trouble? 51:06.460 --> 51:08.700 John, this is not my position only. 51:09.000 --> 51:15.800 Talking to other prominent, faithful, eminent leaders of our church who are 51:15.800 --> 51:21.360 Biblical Adventists, they concur with this, John, that we are now in the early 51:21.360 --> 51:26.720 stages of something that is going to develop and deepen and become worldwide, 51:27.040 --> 51:27.320 global. 51:28.040 --> 51:33.860 And as we see the New World Order developing, and all of these things, 51:34.160 --> 51:37.640 maybe a little later on we can look at some of the constitutional and 51:37.640 --> 51:42.600 international developments, but all of these things point to the striking 51:42.600 --> 51:47.700 fulfillment of what we have been preaching, John, for years and years. 51:47.700 --> 51:49.760 What an exciting time to live. 51:50.120 --> 51:53.680 What does celebration have to do with the three angels' message? 51:54.320 --> 51:59.560 Well, celebration for the Roman Catholic movement and for the World Council of 51:59.560 --> 52:07.500 Churches is their code term for liturgical change and liturgical matters, 52:07.820 --> 52:11.320 just like Rome's code term for labor unions is what? 52:12.340 --> 52:12.940 Solidarity. 52:13.080 --> 52:13.560 Oh, yes. 52:13.700 --> 52:13.880 You see? 52:14.040 --> 52:15.920 That's here in America as well as over in Poland. 52:15.960 --> 52:16.120 Sure. 52:16.120 --> 52:21.700 So this is their term for the convergence of the churches. 52:21.940 --> 52:28.640 Now, John, by the time we get to 1974, there's secret high-level union taking 52:28.640 --> 52:32.600 place now between the Catholic and Protestant charismatic movements. 52:33.080 --> 52:38.200 In 1977, of course, the world confessional families are meeting in Rome, and our 52:38.200 --> 52:40.500 representative at those meetings, B.B. 52:40.600 --> 52:45.440 Beach, gives the gold medal to the Pope on May 18 of 1977. 52:46.140 --> 52:51.980 In 1981, Father Braun, a Roman Catholic, gives the keynote address at the Full 52:51.980 --> 52:55.200 Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship World Convention. 52:55.760 --> 53:00.520 The Vatican charismatic movement monthly publication in the 1980s, New Covenant, 53:00.820 --> 53:03.300 mirrors the Protestant Pentecostal paper, Charisma. 53:03.300 --> 53:06.340 So you have now convergence taking place. 53:06.860 --> 53:10.220 Now, convergence is a big thing in all of this. 53:10.340 --> 53:14.760 This is a World Council of Churches book entitled, Baptism and Eucharist, 53:14.940 --> 53:19.140 Ecumenical Convergence in Celebration, and that answers your question. 53:19.940 --> 53:26.100 Celebration is the term that is being used here for the ecumenical convergence that's 53:26.100 --> 53:26.600 taking place. 53:26.600 --> 53:31.860 Now, this is dealing with two key areas that Rome is interested in, in unifying 53:31.860 --> 53:34.840 the churches, baptism and Eucharist. 53:34.840 --> 53:38.960 That's so obvious because, you see, celebration totally negates the three 53:38.960 --> 53:39.700 angels' message. 53:39.860 --> 53:40.600 Yes, it does. 53:41.060 --> 53:42.260 It is the opposite. 53:42.380 --> 53:45.760 See, there are two movements at the end of time, and these movements cross all 53:45.760 --> 53:46.240 boundaries. 53:46.900 --> 53:50.540 There is God's movement of the three angels' messages to every nation, 53:50.720 --> 53:50.740 kingdom, and tribe... 53:50.740 --> 53:51.760 Calling people out! 53:51.760 --> 53:56.300 ...to pull people out of Babylon, every aspect of Babylonian celebration. 53:56.300 --> 53:58.440 And celebration gets everybody in unity. 53:58.600 --> 54:02.660 And the other movement is the ecumenical movement, which is bringing all the 54:02.660 --> 54:06.340 people, knitting them together in Babylon with the coalition of the papacy, 54:06.920 --> 54:09.480 spiritualism, and apostate Protestantism. 54:09.780 --> 54:10.260 Unbelievable! 54:10.520 --> 54:11.340 So, these two things. 54:11.440 --> 54:14.760 And, you see, we're going to see company after company leave, and tribe after tribe 54:14.760 --> 54:15.720 come in. 54:16.360 --> 54:19.600 There's going to be great confusion and people crossing the boundaries. 54:19.600 --> 54:24.820 But the defining point is the three angels' messages, because that's the 54:24.820 --> 54:26.380 cleaver of truth. 54:27.040 --> 54:28.600 That's the mighty cleaver. 54:29.040 --> 54:29.940 Isn't that exciting? 54:30.140 --> 54:31.320 Now, John, it's interesting. 54:31.460 --> 54:40.760 In this book here, this book came out in the 1980s, and it describes that there is 54:40.760 --> 54:42.940 a two-pronged movement in celebration. 54:43.460 --> 54:47.120 One is to change the liturgies, and as the churches come together 54:47.120 --> 54:53.340 theologically and ecumenically, the liturgy expresses the convergence that 54:53.340 --> 54:59.240 is taking place substantively in the thinking of the churches, and they 54:59.240 --> 55:02.620 converge together liturgically. 55:02.800 --> 55:06.800 So, the first prong is liturgical convergence. 55:07.200 --> 55:08.340 The second prong... 55:08.340 --> 55:11.040 And that's adopting the same type of worship style. 55:11.040 --> 55:11.420 Yes. 55:12.100 --> 55:17.540 The second prong is to bring all the churches under the control of the church. 55:17.720 --> 55:22.180 All the individuals under the control of the church, and the church will regulate 55:22.180 --> 55:24.740 all of human life according to the times. 55:25.600 --> 55:28.500 Does that sound like Daniel 7.25? 55:28.740 --> 55:29.140 What do you mean? 55:29.180 --> 55:33.080 It sounds like the Seventh-day Adventist Church today, trying to control every 55:33.080 --> 55:34.240 portion of our lives. 55:34.280 --> 55:39.060 Well, but I'm talking about a global picture here of what Rome is wanting to 55:39.060 --> 55:39.160 do. 55:39.160 --> 55:43.540 Now, it's interesting that in the documents of Vatican II, part of the 55:43.540 --> 55:48.720 strategy is to bring all the churches together on the matter of the Eucharist. 55:48.820 --> 55:53.520 To bring the Protestant churches closer and closer, and in their Lord's... 55:53.520 --> 55:55.980 Explain to some exactly what the Eucharist is. 55:56.000 --> 55:56.320 All right. 55:56.400 --> 55:59.440 The Eucharist is the dedicated host. 55:59.700 --> 56:00.660 When the priest says... 56:00.660 --> 56:01.200 The little wafer. 56:01.280 --> 56:01.800 The wafer. 56:02.020 --> 56:03.320 The hoc est corpus meum. 56:03.400 --> 56:04.300 This is my body. 56:04.460 --> 56:04.620 Yeah. 56:04.740 --> 56:07.720 Then it is something to be worshipped. 56:07.720 --> 56:09.620 They say it's actually the body of Christ. 56:09.920 --> 56:14.020 Now, John, there were thousands of people that lost their lives for speaking out 56:14.020 --> 56:15.400 against this idolatry. 56:15.500 --> 56:15.660 That one thing. 56:16.080 --> 56:20.440 They would be put to death just for a word against it if they didn't kneel as it went 56:20.440 --> 56:21.460 by in a procession. 56:21.560 --> 56:23.980 Incidentally, processions are being called for. 56:24.640 --> 56:29.680 There is so much that is involved in all of this. 56:29.680 --> 56:38.240 And in 1982, a prominent SDA theologian representing our church signs a certain 56:38.240 --> 56:39.840 critical document, John. 56:40.320 --> 56:45.500 And that is the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document in Lima, 56:45.660 --> 56:45.940 Peru. 56:46.740 --> 56:47.380 1982. 56:47.960 --> 56:48.820 We signed that. 56:48.900 --> 56:51.100 Right on the back here, John, it says... 57:00.060 --> 57:03.100 ...for the common study and official response of the churches. 57:03.240 --> 57:05.840 They represented virtually all the major church traditions. 57:06.340 --> 57:09.820 Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Lutheran, 57:09.860 --> 57:13.820 Anglican, Reformed, Methodist, United Disciples, Baptist, Adventist, 57:13.940 --> 57:14.780 and Pentecostal. 57:15.520 --> 57:17.520 So it's right there on the back of this document. 57:17.520 --> 57:23.660 Now this document calls for the churches to unify in the areas of Baptism, 57:24.200 --> 57:29.820 Eucharist, which the Ecumenical Council of Vatican II called for. 57:29.860 --> 57:33.060 Incidentally, ask for Volume 1 when you get it from Eerdmans. 57:33.740 --> 57:35.400 Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry. 57:35.540 --> 57:38.500 So the integration of the ministry is involved, John. 57:38.660 --> 57:40.200 And we've been seeing that for years. 57:40.660 --> 57:45.240 In some areas, our Adventist ministers now are the leading ecumenical ministers. 57:45.240 --> 57:50.820 They have been holding the worldwide Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, 57:51.000 --> 57:55.220 which is viewed by the World Council of Churches as one of the most fundamental 57:55.220 --> 57:58.340 things that has to be done for ecumenical unity. 57:59.160 --> 58:04.660 And we are now hearing reports from the East Coast, the West Coast, New Zealand, 58:04.860 --> 58:08.740 Australia, of ministers calling the Lord's Supper, the Eucharist. 58:08.740 --> 58:13.920 They are calling the people forward to receive the bread in the front, 58:14.240 --> 58:15.440 Roman Catholic style. 58:15.940 --> 58:27.600 When I started Prophecy Countdown in 1984, in 1985 the Florida Conference sent a 58:27.600 --> 58:31.940 pastor in to the Bonita Springs Church that I had pastored. 58:32.280 --> 58:36.600 And I stepped down and started doing television ministry through Prophecy 58:36.600 --> 58:37.540 Countdown full time. 58:37.540 --> 58:40.820 The pastor that they sent in to take my place... 58:40.820 --> 58:45.680 I remember how startled I was in our First Communion when the pastor, the Seventh-day 58:45.680 --> 58:48.940 Adventist minister that the conference had sent in to take my place... 58:48.940 --> 58:51.620 and by the way to get me out of that church... 58:51.620 --> 58:56.080 started using the term the Eucharist in referring to communion. 58:56.260 --> 58:57.680 I couldn't believe it. 58:57.840 --> 58:59.580 He started using Catholic terms. 58:59.860 --> 59:04.060 This is the first hint that I had ever had of how our Seventh-day Adventist ministers 59:04.060 --> 59:04.900 were starting... 59:04.900 --> 59:07.300 were being trained to use Catholic terms. 59:07.300 --> 59:08.980 It was unbelievable. 59:09.440 --> 59:13.020 Here in your paper, Freedom's Ring, you not only have that celebration is the 59:13.020 --> 59:16.680 Vatican code word for the new style church services... 59:16.680 --> 59:19.780 but you go on and show how the reading of the Psalms... 59:19.780 --> 59:21.520 Now there is nothing wrong with reading of the Psalms. 59:21.560 --> 59:22.880 I read the Psalms all the time. 59:23.100 --> 59:25.440 But how it plays into the celebration movement. 59:25.720 --> 59:28.900 You also bring in about the physical movements of celebration such as the 59:28.900 --> 59:29.200 applause. 59:29.400 --> 59:33.820 They were necessary, viewed as necessary, physical movement in celebration. 59:33.820 --> 59:38.240 And you have brought in all this stuff and gone to Catholic sources and found... 59:38.240 --> 59:41.800 how that all of this stuff was part of the things that were mandated there out of 59:41.800 --> 59:43.680 Vatican II for celebration. 59:43.840 --> 59:45.880 This is exactly what we have in the celebration movement. 59:45.880 --> 59:47.180 The Garden of Prayer is right here. 59:47.220 --> 59:48.100 The Garden of Prayer. 59:48.260 --> 59:48.920 The applause. 59:49.060 --> 59:49.960 The reading of the Psalms. 59:50.020 --> 59:51.160 The words upon the screen. 59:51.580 --> 59:52.140 I mean... 59:52.140 --> 59:53.640 And then the music. 59:53.740 --> 59:54.700 You go into the music. 59:54.780 --> 59:56.160 How this has all been planned. 59:56.640 --> 59:57.940 This reminds me... 59:57.940 --> 59:59.600 Bob, this reminds me... 59:59.600 --> 01:00:03.400 of how we as Seventh-day Adventists for years have done research on Sunday 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:03.740 worship. 01:00:04.080 --> 01:00:04.220 Yeah. 01:00:04.300 --> 01:00:06.860 And how we go back and show people, look. 01:00:07.140 --> 01:00:10.600 You know, this thing just didn't all of a sudden happen on the church. 01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:14.180 It's been brought in over hundreds of years very slowly and subtly... 01:00:14.180 --> 01:00:18.680 how that Satan has brought the Sunday worship in through the Catholic church 01:00:18.680 --> 01:00:19.700 into the Christian church. 01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:21.660 And that's where we are today. 01:00:21.900 --> 01:00:24.640 But I find exactly the same thing with celebration. 01:00:24.860 --> 01:00:28.820 It has come to the Christian church and into the Seventh-day Adventist church much 01:00:28.820 --> 01:00:29.580 faster... 01:00:29.580 --> 01:00:34.000 but in the same way that Satan brought Sunday worship into the Christian church. 01:00:34.100 --> 01:00:34.940 It's unbelievable. 01:00:35.180 --> 01:00:38.260 You've gone to Catholic sources of research and found all this stuff. 01:00:38.540 --> 01:00:41.700 I mean, this is mind-boggling to our Adventist people, Bob. 01:00:42.100 --> 01:00:46.600 John, you know, as you look at what's happened in the 80s now... 01:00:46.600 --> 01:00:49.780 there is an acceleration that's happened chronologically. 01:00:50.200 --> 01:00:53.680 By the mid-1980s, there is a steady stream of literature... 01:00:54.100 --> 01:00:56.700 pouring into the hands of Charismatics around the world... 01:00:56.700 --> 01:00:57.680 calling for unity. 01:00:57.680 --> 01:01:01.760 And the Jesuit cardinal, Augustine B., reports favorably... 01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:06.980 on Pentecostalism's fresh infusion of energy into the Vatican effort to achieve 01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:07.320 unity. 01:01:09.340 --> 01:01:12.880 John, here we have Confessions in Dialogue. 01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:17.400 This is a survey of bilateral conversations among world confessional 01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:17.900 families. 01:01:18.380 --> 01:01:22.760 We belong to this organization in the World Council of Churches... 01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.300 as well as Roman Catholicism. 01:01:24.300 --> 01:01:28.390 Now, in this book, it's very significant and very interesting that... 01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:34.560 in 1972, meetings were held between the Pentecostal Church and the Roman Catholic 01:01:34.560 --> 01:01:35.060 Church. 01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:40.900 The dialogue was between the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian 01:01:40.900 --> 01:01:41.300 Unity... 01:01:42.060 --> 01:01:46.520 and actually had its beginnings in 1969 and 1970. 01:01:46.680 --> 01:01:50.410 Now, the Vatican joined the world confessional families in 1968... 01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:52.020 the same year that we did. 01:01:52.020 --> 01:01:54.840 In 1969, they're talking with the Pentecostals. 01:01:55.140 --> 01:02:00.780 Are you saying or hinting that there is some type of union that has taken place... 01:02:00.780 --> 01:02:02.980 between the Catholic Church and the Pentecostal Church... 01:02:02.980 --> 01:02:06.920 to use the Pentecostal tongue-speaking charismatic movement... 01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:12.860 tying it in with Catholicism to bring a one world church and a unity among all 01:02:12.860 --> 01:02:13.260 churches? 01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:15.560 Let me tell you exactly what they say. 01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:20.040 The concluding sentence of the account of the 1973 meeting... 01:02:20.040 --> 01:02:23.980 illustrates the amazing change in mutual attitudes that has occurred within the 01:02:23.980 --> 01:02:24.800 last few decades. 01:02:25.200 --> 01:02:27.300 Quote, the participants in the dialogue... 01:02:27.620 --> 01:02:30.180 now this is between Rome and the Pentecostals... 01:02:30.780 --> 01:02:34.200 have become increasingly aware of the growing extent and dimension... 01:02:34.640 --> 01:02:38.180 of the Pentecostal churches and the charismatic renewal... 01:02:38.180 --> 01:02:41.760 and realized that these movements could have profound repercussions... 01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:46.460 on the renewal of the churches and progress towards Christian unity. 01:02:46.460 --> 01:02:51.280 You know, it only makes sense that Catholicism and Pentecostalism... 01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.400 join hands because they are being both led... 01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:57.240 have been led from the outset by the same person. 01:02:57.300 --> 01:02:58.000 Same spirit. 01:02:58.120 --> 01:02:59.540 Same spirit is leading both. 01:03:00.520 --> 01:03:03.260 Spiritualism is very deep in the Roman Catholic Church. 01:03:03.380 --> 01:03:06.260 Spiritualism and Catholicism and those two unions coming together. 01:03:06.340 --> 01:03:08.220 Isn't that exactly what our prophet said would happen? 01:03:08.600 --> 01:03:09.120 Exactly. 01:03:09.380 --> 01:03:12.460 And so here we have from their own lips... 01:03:12.460 --> 01:03:15.540 in the early 70s, late 60s... 01:03:16.540 --> 01:03:20.600 their plans of working together for the unification of the churches. 01:03:20.760 --> 01:03:25.520 So the Pentecostal charismatic renewal is the vehicle... 01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:30.460 which Rome is using to bring all the churches back into her fold. 01:03:30.860 --> 01:03:33.840 That's why we have the Pentecostal dimensions... 01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:36.220 to the celebration movement in our church. 01:03:36.560 --> 01:03:40.700 And how are they tying the Eucharist into all this with Pentecostalism? 01:03:40.700 --> 01:03:41.360 That's right. 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:44.700 The Eucharist is seen as the basis for Christian unity. 01:03:45.460 --> 01:03:50.180 So that has to do with the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document. 01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:52.870 Now remember that the documents of Vatican II... 01:03:53.900 --> 01:03:56.040 called for unity in the area of the Eucharist. 01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:59.120 Now the World Council of Churches takes this up... 01:03:59.120 --> 01:04:02.200 and they put out this document, the most significant document... 01:04:02.200 --> 01:04:04.760 in the 55-year history of the Faith and Order Commission. 01:04:05.180 --> 01:04:09.780 And we ourselves, in our response to it, call it the most significant document... 01:04:09.780 --> 01:04:12.640 calling for unity in the area of the Eucharist. 01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:15.780 Now right away the Jesuits got on this... 01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:20.880 and Carl Rayner, who is probably the top Jesuit of this century... 01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:25.920 joined up with Heinrich Freis, a Roman Catholic ecumenical theologian... 01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:31.540 and put out this book in 1983, one year after this comes out. 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:36.440 One year after that they come out with their strategy for the unification of the 01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:36.740 churches. 01:04:36.740 --> 01:04:41.080 Explain what the role of the Jesuits is in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:41.500 Bob... 01:04:41.500 --> 01:04:42.500 to those who may not know. 01:04:42.860 --> 01:04:47.000 The role of the Jesuits is to undo all that Protestantism has done. 01:04:48.140 --> 01:04:50.340 Ignatius Loyola came on the scene about the time... 01:04:50.340 --> 01:04:50.860 What is that? 01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:52.100 Explain exactly what... 01:04:53.180 --> 01:04:54.060 Ignatius Loyola. 01:04:54.340 --> 01:04:55.400 Ignatius Loyola. 01:04:55.520 --> 01:04:55.880 That's right. 01:04:56.200 --> 01:04:59.100 He is the head of the Jesuits, the founder of the Jesuits... 01:04:59.100 --> 01:05:02.840 in the very century that Luther was promoting the Reformation. 01:05:03.380 --> 01:05:07.380 The Counter-Reformation was spearheaded by the Jesuit order. 01:05:08.260 --> 01:05:09.900 Now, that will tie in... 01:05:09.900 --> 01:05:12.340 and I think we want to look at that just a little bit later, John... 01:05:12.340 --> 01:05:16.820 that will tie in with the mysticism that is being brought into our churches now... 01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:20.460 and the actual introduction of the spiritual exercises of the Jesuits. 01:05:20.520 --> 01:05:23.720 But I'd like to touch that a little later on in more depth. 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:27.240 So, you see, not only are we dealing with celebration... 01:05:27.240 --> 01:05:29.180 we're dealing with neuro-linguistic programming. 01:05:29.860 --> 01:05:31.660 So, this is all going to tie in. 01:05:31.660 --> 01:05:34.260 And this is exciting to see the research that you've done, Bob... 01:05:34.260 --> 01:05:36.320 It all ties in with the New Age, too. 01:05:36.520 --> 01:05:40.620 But right now, let's keep on our track of looking at... 01:05:40.620 --> 01:05:43.380 the chronology, John, of this is so significant. 01:05:43.560 --> 01:05:46.800 Now, I'd like to just hit a point here... 01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:49.700 out of this book which is most significant. 01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:55.440 In fact, I came across this book because I was walking through a bookstore... 01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:57.460 and noticed this book promoting unity... 01:05:57.460 --> 01:05:59.100 themes in Lutheran-Catholic dialogue. 01:05:59.100 --> 01:06:04.100 I just opened the book up and I saw on page 58... 01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:09.220 here a discussion of Rayner and Fry's book here, Unity of the Churches. 01:06:09.860 --> 01:06:11.100 And here is their strategy. 01:06:11.340 --> 01:06:14.380 Just the gross strategy, the overview. 01:06:14.620 --> 01:06:16.760 And you just happened to find this as you were walking through a bookstore? 01:06:16.940 --> 01:06:17.380 Oh, yes. 01:06:17.500 --> 01:06:19.320 I case the bookstores carefully. 01:06:19.340 --> 01:06:20.520 Just stumble upon this stuff. 01:06:22.220 --> 01:06:27.180 In contrast to this, the author writes, George Anderson and James Crumley... 01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.760 Rayner, that's the Jesuit, and Fry's attention... 01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.400 focuses on the hierarchical, juridical, and institutional. 01:06:34.820 --> 01:06:39.240 So they are interested in bringing about the unification of the churches... 01:06:39.240 --> 01:06:43.380 utilizing the hierarchical patterns in the churches... 01:06:43.380 --> 01:06:46.040 and the institutional dimension of it. 01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:47.780 And the juridical. 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:51.560 Unification is seen as proceeding from top to bottom. 01:06:51.640 --> 01:06:53.180 So you get the top ones first... 01:06:53.700 --> 01:06:56.900 and it filters down to the lower echelons of the church. 01:06:56.900 --> 01:06:59.080 From higher levels to lower ones. 01:06:59.580 --> 01:07:01.900 Perhaps the most vivid indication of this... 01:07:02.460 --> 01:07:05.940 is when they argue that Protestants on the whole... 01:07:05.940 --> 01:07:09.060 are just as passive in their church membership as Catholics... 01:07:09.060 --> 01:07:12.800 and therefore can be expected to follow their leaders into union with Rome. 01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:16.700 Now, after reading that statement, I knew I had to get Rayner's book. 01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:17.640 So I ordered it. 01:07:18.060 --> 01:07:21.440 And here is what Rayner says about this very subject. 01:07:21.620 --> 01:07:24.000 What he is discussing is his concern about... 01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:29.000 how will the leaders of the churches have sufficient authority... 01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:32.660 to bring their members back into union with Rome. 01:07:32.720 --> 01:07:35.000 He spends several pages on this because he is concerned... 01:07:35.520 --> 01:07:40.480 that there might be the possibility that enough vital Protestantism... 01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:43.020 may remain, be residual in these churches... 01:07:43.020 --> 01:07:46.080 that will rise up and oppose the reunion with Rome. 01:07:46.140 --> 01:07:47.460 You better believe there is. 01:07:47.660 --> 01:07:51.100 But he thinks he's got a solution here. 01:07:51.540 --> 01:07:52.480 And here is what he says. 01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:57.840 However, even if one recognizes a significant difference in parish life... 01:07:57.840 --> 01:07:59.480 between Catholic and Protestant congregations... 01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:02.480 with respect to ecclesiastical leadership... 01:08:03.160 --> 01:08:06.530 the average congregation in the Protestant churches, in fact... 01:08:07.140 --> 01:08:10.540 usually practices the kind of obedience to their church leaders... 01:08:10.540 --> 01:08:12.680 that is customary in the Roman Catholic Church. 01:08:12.820 --> 01:08:15.720 I'd like to digress for just a second here, John... 01:08:15.720 --> 01:08:18.460 and talk about the way the Jesuit strategy functions. 01:08:18.940 --> 01:08:20.380 They like to infiltrate. 01:08:20.380 --> 01:08:23.490 They like to change the thinking, the philosophy... 01:08:24.540 --> 01:08:26.440 the attitudes, the ideology. 01:08:26.740 --> 01:08:28.720 They like to prepare their... 01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:30.960 and take plenty of time making their preparation. 01:08:31.820 --> 01:08:33.520 And then when the time comes to strike... 01:08:33.520 --> 01:08:34.940 they strike with lightning speed... 01:08:34.940 --> 01:08:38.220 when they feel that they have gained what they're wanting... 01:08:38.220 --> 01:08:41.260 through the honeycombing of the structure that they're working with. 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.040 This happened in Eastern Europe. 01:08:43.460 --> 01:08:45.380 In fact, by the early 1980s... 01:08:46.140 --> 01:08:48.400 Malachi Martin says that the preponderance... 01:08:48.400 --> 01:08:52.400 of the Eastern Orthodox bishops and Russian Orthodox bishops... 01:08:53.300 --> 01:08:55.520 were prepared to accept the primacy of the Pope. 01:08:55.980 --> 01:08:59.120 And when they knew their hour of infiltration had reached far enough... 01:08:59.120 --> 01:08:59.620 then they struck. 01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:00.420 Bang, bang, bang, bang. 01:09:00.440 --> 01:09:02.560 And all those nations fall at their feet. 01:09:03.500 --> 01:09:07.300 But now listen here to the rest of this paragraph. 01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:08.500 It is so significant. 01:09:10.160 --> 01:09:12.440 So, what would they be interested in doing, John? 01:09:12.540 --> 01:09:14.400 They want to get the congregation... 01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:18.380 so that they have the same attitude toward the leadership... 01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:20.320 that the Roman Catholic congregation has to theirs. 01:09:21.300 --> 01:09:23.960 Therefore, one should not overestimate the danger... 01:09:23.960 --> 01:09:26.580 of a rebellion at the grassroots... 01:09:26.580 --> 01:09:29.960 against their ecclesiastical leaders' decisions regarding unification. 01:09:30.500 --> 01:09:33.520 On the basis of their theological expertise... 01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:35.220 and their religious conscience... 01:09:35.220 --> 01:09:37.740 the representatives of this ecclesiastical leadership... 01:09:37.740 --> 01:09:40.340 can decide in favor of church unity... 01:09:40.340 --> 01:09:44.120 and can also work with sufficient zeal among the church members... 01:09:44.120 --> 01:09:46.460 to gain their understanding for this decision. 01:09:46.460 --> 01:09:48.660 So, if a grassroots rebellion starts... 01:09:49.260 --> 01:09:52.420 all that has to happen is for the ecclesiastical leadership... 01:09:52.420 --> 01:09:53.940 to be a little more zealous... 01:09:53.940 --> 01:09:57.700 and use their expertise that the average person doesn't have... 01:09:57.700 --> 01:10:01.960 to knit them into the fold as they go step by step. 01:10:02.040 --> 01:10:05.280 And I will say this, it is a step-stage process. 01:10:05.360 --> 01:10:06.720 Yes, we have seen that. 01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:07.400 Step-stage process. 01:10:07.900 --> 01:10:09.160 We have absolutely seen that. 01:10:09.180 --> 01:10:11.420 Now, a number of other significant things... 01:10:11.420 --> 01:10:13.640 that Rayner brings out in this book, John... 01:10:13.640 --> 01:10:16.440 is that in the world church-to-be... 01:10:16.440 --> 01:10:19.600 each church will keep its own structure. 01:10:20.240 --> 01:10:22.520 It's far more subtle than most people realize. 01:10:22.620 --> 01:10:24.440 Each church will keep its own structure... 01:10:25.020 --> 01:10:27.680 and will have its own set of fundamental beliefs... 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:31.740 but they will work together in an atmosphere of reconciled diversity. 01:10:32.240 --> 01:10:35.440 And they will ultimately be led to recognize... 01:10:36.120 --> 01:10:38.440 the patrine service of the papacy... 01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:43.820 as being the guarantor of love and unity and orthodoxy. 01:10:43.820 --> 01:10:45.860 The ministries will be integrated... 01:10:45.860 --> 01:10:48.000 by working together on the same kind of programs. 01:10:48.260 --> 01:10:50.540 And we're seeing that type of thing taking place... 01:10:50.540 --> 01:10:51.800 on the local level in our church. 01:10:52.260 --> 01:10:54.440 Well, this is incredible stuff that you're showing us. 01:10:54.460 --> 01:10:56.780 And it's pretty heavy, you know, deep stuff. 01:10:57.020 --> 01:10:59.500 And our people are really going to have to... 01:10:59.500 --> 01:11:02.460 probably watch these videos more than once. 01:11:02.500 --> 01:11:03.660 They're going to have to watch them over and over again. 01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:05.160 I get letters all the time from people saying... 01:11:05.160 --> 01:11:09.640 I've watched your NLP one tape ten times. 01:11:10.640 --> 01:11:13.540 And if they have had to do that... 01:11:13.540 --> 01:11:16.940 in order to absorb all the material that we have... 01:11:16.940 --> 01:11:19.840 I can just imagine how they're going to have to... 01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.840 get these videos and watch them over and over and over again... 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.500 to really assimilate everything that we're dealing with here. 01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:29.120 Here is something that we just got in the mail. 01:11:29.260 --> 01:11:30.360 It's really something. 01:11:30.500 --> 01:11:31.720 This day of taping. 01:11:32.140 --> 01:11:34.020 This just came in the mail just this morning. 01:11:34.120 --> 01:11:34.980 I'll be very honest with you. 01:11:35.300 --> 01:11:37.840 I have not had much time to spend with it. 01:11:37.880 --> 01:11:39.940 I just summed through it quickly before taping. 01:11:40.220 --> 01:11:42.120 I'm going to show it to you for the first time. 01:11:42.120 --> 01:11:44.540 This is from Andrews University. 01:11:44.980 --> 01:11:46.040 It's their yearbook. 01:11:46.140 --> 01:11:48.500 Their joker that shows the pictures of all their students. 01:11:48.860 --> 01:11:50.400 And I just want you... 01:11:50.400 --> 01:11:51.640 We're going to show it on screen to the viewers. 01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:52.740 And I just want you... 01:11:52.740 --> 01:11:55.280 with your knowledge and expertise in this field... 01:11:55.280 --> 01:12:00.320 to start going through this new picture book from... 01:12:01.860 --> 01:12:02.860 Andrews University. 01:12:02.900 --> 01:12:04.060 Our Theological Seminary. 01:12:04.620 --> 01:12:07.300 Here in the United States for our Seventh Adventist ministers... 01:12:07.300 --> 01:12:09.020 and our Seventh Adventist College and University. 01:12:09.020 --> 01:12:13.020 And just give your definitions of thought... 01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:15.840 in turning the pages... 01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:18.180 after we have been hearing and studying about... 01:12:18.180 --> 01:12:19.900 what we've been talking about so far. 01:12:20.200 --> 01:12:23.240 How this has been Catholicism's plan... 01:12:23.240 --> 01:12:24.980 to get all of these churches... 01:12:24.980 --> 01:12:26.360 especially the Seventh Adventist Church... 01:12:26.360 --> 01:12:31.000 back into the Catholic vice. 01:12:31.300 --> 01:12:33.080 And I want you to see what you think... 01:12:33.080 --> 01:12:35.520 of this picture book. 01:12:35.620 --> 01:12:36.300 This joker. 01:12:36.520 --> 01:12:37.900 This yearbook. 01:12:37.900 --> 01:12:39.900 I guess it's called The Cast here... 01:12:39.900 --> 01:12:41.700 at Andrews University. 01:12:42.100 --> 01:12:43.280 Tell us what you think of it. 01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:46.380 John, this is one of the most striking things that I've seen. 01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:48.460 I heard about this before I came here. 01:12:48.460 --> 01:12:49.340 I have heard about it too. 01:12:49.380 --> 01:12:50.120 This is the first time I've seen it. 01:12:50.200 --> 01:12:51.980 Today is the first time I've seen it. 01:12:53.300 --> 01:12:55.480 And the whole... 01:12:57.060 --> 01:13:00.380 artistry of the book is... 01:13:01.980 --> 01:13:02.380 blatantly... 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:04.560 what is a better word than blatant? 01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:08.580 It is incredibly Roman Catholic. 01:13:09.260 --> 01:13:12.780 First of all, here right on the title page... 01:13:13.080 --> 01:13:15.200 we have the two fingers of the Pope. 01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:19.020 The papal sign that Ellen White utterly condemned. 01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:22.620 And then we have the picture of... 01:13:22.620 --> 01:13:23.820 apparently the Virgin Mary. 01:13:24.140 --> 01:13:26.840 It's in the same posture as the Virgin Mary... 01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:29.240 as characteristically pictured with a halo. 01:13:30.380 --> 01:13:31.900 And then you go through... 01:13:32.700 --> 01:13:34.900 a few pages of the... 01:13:34.900 --> 01:13:35.820 pictures. 01:13:36.580 --> 01:13:39.260 And then you have another figure... 01:13:39.260 --> 01:13:41.720 medieval figure with a halo... 01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:43.040 of sorts on the head. 01:13:43.980 --> 01:13:46.080 And you pass through some more pictures. 01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:51.900 And you have a monk with a shaven crown... 01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:55.220 pondering with a halo around his head. 01:13:55.360 --> 01:13:56.900 Now Bob, what would possess... 01:13:57.680 --> 01:13:59.380 Andrews University... 01:13:59.380 --> 01:14:00.940 to print this abomination? 01:14:00.940 --> 01:14:03.100 You know what I think it is, John? 01:14:03.660 --> 01:14:05.620 I think it's the same thing that possessed... 01:14:05.620 --> 01:14:07.060 Malachi Martin to write his book. 01:14:07.460 --> 01:14:09.060 They are so confident now... 01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:11.500 that they are being bold. 01:14:11.640 --> 01:14:11.980 Plain. 01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:13.060 Bold. 01:14:13.300 --> 01:14:15.360 The Roman Catholic plan... 01:14:15.360 --> 01:14:17.160 for the takeover of this planet... 01:14:17.160 --> 01:14:21.940 is not a secret stealthy thing anymore. 01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:22.840 It's open. 01:14:23.160 --> 01:14:24.080 It's right there in the open. 01:14:24.160 --> 01:14:25.680 Just like Mein Kampf with Hitler. 01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:27.500 The next picture... 01:14:27.500 --> 01:14:29.420 this is to me probably... 01:14:29.420 --> 01:14:31.660 one of the most startling ones in the book. 01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:33.820 Most offensive. 01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:34.620 And offensive. 01:14:35.700 --> 01:14:39.220 Look at the scantily clad aspect of Christ... 01:14:39.220 --> 01:14:42.320 and there is the pouring of water... 01:14:42.320 --> 01:14:43.300 instead of the baptism. 01:14:44.820 --> 01:14:46.660 Totally a Catholic... 01:14:47.700 --> 01:14:50.400 method of paganism... 01:14:50.400 --> 01:14:51.700 that is brought into the Christian Church. 01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:53.920 Incidentally, that fits right in with the theme... 01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:56.500 of coming together in the area of baptism... 01:14:56.500 --> 01:14:58.180 with the baptism Eucharist and ministry. 01:14:58.180 --> 01:14:59.280 Oh, what is that one? 01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:00.660 This one... 01:15:00.660 --> 01:15:02.220 here you have the papal sign again. 01:15:02.940 --> 01:15:05.560 You comment on that one, John, yourself. 01:15:06.040 --> 01:15:08.340 Rejoice with me, I have found my sheep. 01:15:09.460 --> 01:15:10.520 Look at the two fingers. 01:15:10.700 --> 01:15:12.280 Now, why... 01:15:12.280 --> 01:15:14.200 I mean... 01:15:14.200 --> 01:15:15.460 Do you think... 01:15:15.460 --> 01:15:17.180 Bob, do you think that the editors... 01:15:18.040 --> 01:15:20.500 of this yearbook... 01:15:20.500 --> 01:15:21.200 who are students... 01:15:21.740 --> 01:15:22.820 But you have staff working on it, too. 01:15:22.820 --> 01:15:23.700 Oh, yeah, I understand. 01:15:23.860 --> 01:15:24.760 You have Andrew's staff. 01:15:24.820 --> 01:15:25.560 They cannot get... 01:15:25.560 --> 01:15:27.040 They can say, oh, well, the students did this. 01:15:27.080 --> 01:15:27.920 We didn't have anything to do with it. 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:28.900 That is baloney. 01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:31.640 Do you think there's any way, though... 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:33.860 that they could have done this innocently? 01:15:34.740 --> 01:15:35.120 Oh, no. 01:15:36.360 --> 01:15:37.740 I mean, it's a planned thing. 01:15:38.020 --> 01:15:39.840 That's all the artwork. 01:15:40.480 --> 01:15:42.540 All the artwork is of this character... 01:15:42.540 --> 01:15:43.020 in this book. 01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:46.000 And coming along here, we have... 01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:49.480 a Catholic rendition of the Lord's Supper. 01:15:49.980 --> 01:15:51.300 You have the halos. 01:15:52.080 --> 01:15:52.640 And... 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.400 coming on further, here's a very striking one. 01:15:56.400 --> 01:16:00.160 And at that time, thy people shall be delivered... 01:16:00.160 --> 01:16:02.480 every one that shall be found written in the book. 01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:03.520 Now, what is that saying? 01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:06.540 That's saying that those Catholic people there... 01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:08.600 the monks, the priests... 01:16:09.080 --> 01:16:10.640 are part of God's people... 01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:12.300 during the time of trouble. 01:16:12.400 --> 01:16:14.360 And these are the 144,000. 01:16:14.660 --> 01:16:15.480 The nuns. 01:16:16.020 --> 01:16:17.940 These are the ones that will be delivered. 01:16:18.400 --> 01:16:19.880 This is unbelievable. 01:16:20.400 --> 01:16:23.400 I mean, did you ever dream that our church... 01:16:24.440 --> 01:16:25.800 that our institutions... 01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:28.740 that people calling themselves Seventh-day Adventists... 01:16:28.740 --> 01:16:31.920 would not only be looking at... 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:33.940 but be promoting and printing... 01:16:33.940 --> 01:16:35.960 and endorsing this type of thing... 01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:38.280 in the periodicals of our institutions? 01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:41.280 And the significance of Andrews is enormous... 01:16:41.280 --> 01:16:43.680 because there you have the pastors in training... 01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:45.980 the administrators, the teachers... 01:16:45.980 --> 01:16:47.980 from the entire world field. 01:16:49.120 --> 01:16:54.100 Here's one of a figure with the nun's neck piece... 01:16:54.100 --> 01:16:55.460 that comes way up to the chin. 01:16:57.280 --> 01:17:00.000 And on the back is one of the most significant of all. 01:17:01.020 --> 01:17:02.700 Behold the man, it says. 01:17:03.380 --> 01:17:05.780 And there is a Catholic picture of Christ... 01:17:05.780 --> 01:17:08.580 with the two-finger sign of the Pope... 01:17:08.580 --> 01:17:09.880 with one hand. 01:17:09.980 --> 01:17:12.460 And in the other hand there is a crystal ball... 01:17:12.460 --> 01:17:15.480 which represents the union of spiritualism... 01:17:15.480 --> 01:17:16.440 and the papacy. 01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:22.320 That printing from Andrews University... 01:17:22.320 --> 01:17:24.320 is absolutely so significant... 01:17:25.080 --> 01:17:27.760 that it just shows that everything we've been talking about... 01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:29.320 thus far on this video... 01:17:29.980 --> 01:17:32.320 is being promoted... 01:17:33.220 --> 01:17:36.800 by our Seventh-day Adventist leadership... 01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:38.640 by our institutions... 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:40.560 and even by our theological seminary... 01:17:41.120 --> 01:17:43.640 that is training our ministers. 01:17:44.080 --> 01:17:47.580 Our people need to wonder no more... 01:17:48.220 --> 01:17:50.720 why they are hearing what they are hearing... 01:17:50.720 --> 01:17:52.620 from our Seventh-day Adventist pulpits. 01:17:52.820 --> 01:17:55.120 Our people need to wonder no more... 01:17:55.120 --> 01:17:58.700 why they are hearing preached on Sabbath... 01:17:58.700 --> 01:18:00.460 things they have never heard preached before... 01:18:00.460 --> 01:18:02.160 why they are reading in our periodicals... 01:18:02.160 --> 01:18:04.740 things they have never seen in print from the Seventh-day Adventist church before. 01:18:05.160 --> 01:18:08.720 They can understand now why there is such a diabolical persecution... 01:18:09.740 --> 01:18:12.540 being organized against the independent ministries... 01:18:12.540 --> 01:18:15.740 who are daring to stand up against this apostasy... 01:18:15.740 --> 01:18:17.120 that is taking place in our church. 01:18:17.120 --> 01:18:19.120 I mean, our people surely... 01:18:20.160 --> 01:18:21.680 by this time... 01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:23.060 anybody who is sincere... 01:18:23.060 --> 01:18:25.340 Historic Adventist can see... 01:18:25.340 --> 01:18:27.120 the mindset of our leadership... 01:18:27.120 --> 01:18:29.140 and where this denomination is headed... 01:18:29.140 --> 01:18:30.800 and who is in control of it. 01:18:31.140 --> 01:18:31.620 Absolutely. 01:18:32.300 --> 01:18:35.120 John, it is absolutely stunning... 01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:36.780 and astounding. 01:18:39.940 --> 01:18:41.240 It's as if... 01:18:41.240 --> 01:18:43.620 in some of the statements I have run across... 01:18:43.620 --> 01:18:45.880 and we want to look at some of them in a few minutes... 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:48.880 it's as if we are following the script precisely... 01:18:50.120 --> 01:18:51.120 that is laid out. 01:18:51.140 --> 01:18:51.940 Following an agenda. 01:18:54.080 --> 01:18:54.880 You know... 01:18:55.360 --> 01:18:56.700 like you say, a script. 01:18:56.900 --> 01:18:58.280 It's like we are following a script. 01:18:58.440 --> 01:19:00.860 I can't think of a better definition... 01:19:00.860 --> 01:19:01.860 for what it is. 01:19:02.160 --> 01:19:03.880 John, in this... 01:19:03.880 --> 01:19:06.880 Carl Rayner's book of the unity of the churches... 01:19:08.360 --> 01:19:09.160 we have... 01:19:09.160 --> 01:19:11.960 some very, very significant things which... 01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:12.740 What page are you on there? 01:19:12.740 --> 01:19:15.720 Well, it's the next to the last issue, John. 01:19:16.220 --> 01:19:19.460 In yours it may be the last issue. 01:19:19.500 --> 01:19:22.820 It's like the Jesuits have planned all this... 01:19:22.820 --> 01:19:25.920 and we are following their pre-planned script. 01:19:26.340 --> 01:19:29.700 Well, I think that when we understand... 01:19:29.700 --> 01:19:31.600 what the Jesuits are saying... 01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:33.480 and we compare it... 01:19:33.480 --> 01:19:37.140 it leads us to some very sober reflections. 01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:43.160 John, here on page 8, for example... 01:19:43.160 --> 01:19:46.120 there are a number of theses in this book... 01:19:46.120 --> 01:19:47.060 unity of the churches. 01:19:47.820 --> 01:19:48.800 What month is this? 01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:51.180 This would be the October month. 01:19:51.300 --> 01:19:52.440 Ok, October 91? 01:19:53.500 --> 01:19:54.410 Right, 1991. 01:19:57.860 --> 01:20:01.960 The first thesis deals with the use of creeds. 01:20:02.460 --> 01:20:04.780 And I'd like to just comment on that for a minute, John. 01:20:04.780 --> 01:20:09.800 Because when we responded to this... 01:20:10.900 --> 01:20:13.040 Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document... 01:20:13.040 --> 01:20:15.840 you see all the churches are to respond to this. 01:20:16.780 --> 01:20:17.740 186 churches... 01:20:17.740 --> 01:20:19.640 And the Seventh-day Adventist Church signed with that, right? 01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:22.700 We not only signed calling for the unity of the churches... 01:20:22.700 --> 01:20:24.940 but we sent in our official response. 01:20:25.040 --> 01:20:25.940 And that's in this book... 01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:28.000 Churches Respond to BEM... 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:30.420 that's Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry... 01:20:30.420 --> 01:20:32.180 Volume 2, the official response. 01:20:32.180 --> 01:20:34.520 And the Seventh-day Adventist Church is listed in that official document? 01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:38.200 Who was the Seventh-day Adventist representative that signed this? 01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:41.780 The one on the Faith and Order Commission, I understand... 01:20:41.780 --> 01:20:42.600 Dr. Detterman. 01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:43.160 Dr. Detterman. 01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:44.980 And isn't it amazing? 01:20:45.100 --> 01:20:47.540 He teaches at the Theological Seminary in Andrews, right? 01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:47.920 Oh, yes. 01:20:47.980 --> 01:20:49.120 As for decades. 01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:50.080 Absolutely. 01:20:50.980 --> 01:20:55.740 John, I first came across the fact that we had responded... 01:20:55.740 --> 01:20:59.780 from this book, Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry, 1982-1990... 01:20:59.780 --> 01:21:02.340 report on the process and responses. 01:21:02.340 --> 01:21:05.200 You see, it's a process of convergence. 01:21:06.420 --> 01:21:09.700 And all the churches are responding... 01:21:09.700 --> 01:21:13.800 and discussing what they agree with, what they disagree with... 01:21:13.800 --> 01:21:15.940 how they react to this statement. 01:21:16.240 --> 01:21:19.880 But yet, if you ask any of our church officials if any of this stuff is going 01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:20.480 on... 01:21:20.480 --> 01:21:22.260 they will lie to our people. 01:21:22.340 --> 01:21:27.020 They lie to our people and say, No, oh no, we're having nothing to do with 01:21:27.020 --> 01:21:27.220 this. 01:21:27.240 --> 01:21:28.080 This is not going on. 01:21:28.080 --> 01:21:31.310 And here, these publications that you and your research... 01:21:31.660 --> 01:21:34.840 have just gone to the public bookstores and libraries and found... 01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:38.500 it lists us and we find out and our people are waking up to the fact... 01:21:38.500 --> 01:21:41.900 that our denominational leadership has been involved in this for years. 01:21:42.460 --> 01:21:42.960 Right. 01:21:43.840 --> 01:21:45.160 Oh, for decades. 01:21:45.360 --> 01:21:47.800 And our people have been lied to by our leadership. 01:21:48.220 --> 01:21:48.900 For decades. 01:21:49.020 --> 01:21:50.640 It's been going on behind the scenes. 01:21:51.220 --> 01:21:56.200 Now, I first stumbled on the fact that we had made a response from this book... 01:21:56.200 --> 01:21:59.340 on the process and responses of the churches. 01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:03.100 And here, it lists a number of categories of churches that responded. 01:22:03.300 --> 01:22:06.200 And it says, some communions have adopted one common response. 01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:09.900 Roman Catholic Church, Salvation Army, and Seventh-day Adventists. 01:22:10.420 --> 01:22:14.460 And the report that was drawn up for the Roman Catholic Church... 01:22:14.460 --> 01:22:18.520 was prepared by the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity in 01:22:18.520 --> 01:22:19.080 collaboration. 01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:22.460 Incidentally, the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity... 01:22:22.460 --> 01:22:25.580 sits with us on the World Confessional Families... 01:22:25.580 --> 01:22:27.620 or Christian World Communions now. 01:22:28.200 --> 01:22:32.580 It was prepared by them in collaboration with the Congregation for the Doctrine of 01:22:32.580 --> 01:22:32.960 the Faith. 01:22:33.120 --> 01:22:36.440 That's the modern term for the Holy Office of the Inquisition. 01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:39.260 So, they responded. 01:22:39.540 --> 01:22:40.380 We responded. 01:22:41.620 --> 01:22:46.720 So, I desperately wanted to get our response to examine it... 01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:49.120 and see just what we said. 01:22:49.120 --> 01:22:54.500 Because the Unity of the Churches strategy by Karl Rayner... 01:22:55.260 --> 01:22:58.380 rests upon the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document... 01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:02.560 which in turn rests upon the documents of Vatican II. 01:23:03.340 --> 01:23:08.500 And in the very beginning of the Unity of the Churches book by Karl Rayner... 01:23:08.500 --> 01:23:12.340 it discusses how the book was produced... 01:23:12.340 --> 01:23:18.040 in collaboration and in consultation with the World Confessional Families... 01:23:18.040 --> 01:23:19.840 which we are a part of... 01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:22.020 and the Roman Catholic Church is a part of... 01:23:22.020 --> 01:23:25.220 and the Faith and Order Commission, which we have a member sitting on. 01:23:26.140 --> 01:23:30.940 I'm just overwhelmed as I'm sitting here listening to you present all this 01:23:30.940 --> 01:23:31.960 information to us. 01:23:32.360 --> 01:23:36.080 The debt of gratitude, number one, that the historic Adventists owe to you 01:23:36.080 --> 01:23:37.540 for the research that you have done... 01:23:37.540 --> 01:23:43.580 but also our thanks be to God for inspiring you to do this... 01:23:43.580 --> 01:23:44.820 for calling you into this... 01:23:44.820 --> 01:23:48.300 because God realized that our historic Adventist people... 01:23:48.300 --> 01:23:52.240 had to have a valid researcher that collected all this data... 01:23:52.240 --> 01:23:55.180 and we have been involved in this ecumenical movement... 01:23:55.180 --> 01:23:58.080 and this joining and clasping the hands of the Roman power... 01:23:58.080 --> 01:24:01.060 and bringing Roman Catholicism right into the Seventh-day Adventist Church... 01:24:01.060 --> 01:24:02.860 and it's been going on for years... 01:24:02.860 --> 01:24:07.080 and how this whole celebration movement has been calculated and planned... 01:24:07.080 --> 01:24:09.360 and we are following a pre-set agenda. 01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:13.300 I even had, just a few days ago... 01:24:13.300 --> 01:24:17.380 a couple sent me a tape of a sermon that was preached in their church... 01:24:18.080 --> 01:24:19.660 along with the transcript of the tape... 01:24:19.660 --> 01:24:24.500 in which the pastor told the congregation that Catholic means universal. 01:24:24.980 --> 01:24:28.120 Therefore, you are Catholic, Adventists. 01:24:28.580 --> 01:24:32.120 And he said more specifically, you are a Roman Catholic. 01:24:32.940 --> 01:24:35.020 And I listened to it with my own ears on the tape. 01:24:35.180 --> 01:24:36.600 And this is a Seventh-day Adventist minister? 01:24:36.720 --> 01:24:38.100 Yes, right from the pulpit, Sabbath morning. 01:24:39.180 --> 01:24:41.340 Here is the statement I'm referring to. 01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:43.700 This book on the strategy... 01:24:43.700 --> 01:24:47.320 based on the BEM document and the Vatican II... 01:24:47.320 --> 01:24:49.120 is a product of seasoned scholars... 01:24:49.120 --> 01:24:53.680 building on the earlier work of the Second Vatican Council... 01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:56.620 the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches... 01:24:56.620 --> 01:24:59.820 dialogues and theological reflection in world confessional families... 01:24:59.820 --> 01:25:01.920 like the Lutheran World Federation. 01:25:02.700 --> 01:25:05.700 So, it's all tied together. 01:25:06.160 --> 01:25:07.460 You see, it's all interlocking. 01:25:08.160 --> 01:25:10.740 And in the first thesis... 01:25:10.740 --> 01:25:13.140 the creedal element becomes very dominant. 01:25:13.340 --> 01:25:15.420 And John, this is what is very clear. 01:25:15.440 --> 01:25:16.340 What do you mean by creedal? 01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:19.140 You mean what's taken from the creed of the Roman Catholic Church? 01:25:19.140 --> 01:25:20.460 Let me just read the thesis. 01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:22.740 It says, the fundamental truths of Christianity... 01:25:23.660 --> 01:25:26.240 as they are expressed in Holy Scripture in the Apostles' Creed... 01:25:26.240 --> 01:25:27.740 in that of Nicaea and Constantinople... 01:25:28.440 --> 01:25:31.460 are binding on all partner churches of the one church to be. 01:25:31.820 --> 01:25:33.580 You see, what the Jesuits want to do... 01:25:33.580 --> 01:25:36.680 is bypass the 16th century Reformation... 01:25:36.680 --> 01:25:40.020 go back to the way things were before that... 01:25:40.020 --> 01:25:42.220 and it is very open that Rayner... 01:25:42.220 --> 01:25:44.020 very clear... 01:25:44.020 --> 01:25:45.900 that Rayner regards... 01:25:45.900 --> 01:25:48.100 and the Jesuits regard... 01:25:48.100 --> 01:25:50.960 the Protestant Reformation as a rebellion... 01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:52.820 which took place... 01:25:52.820 --> 01:25:55.180 but now the churches are laying aside their rebellion. 01:25:55.400 --> 01:25:56.880 They have ecumenical consciousness. 01:25:57.420 --> 01:25:59.300 They're all coming back to the mother church. 01:25:59.300 --> 01:26:00.100 Come back home. 01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:03.060 Telling all the Protestant churches to come back home. 01:26:03.080 --> 01:26:04.040 Let's have love and unity. 01:26:04.080 --> 01:26:06.880 Let's have love and unity and celebration together. 01:26:07.180 --> 01:26:07.700 Absolutely. 01:26:08.220 --> 01:26:08.680 That's it. 01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:09.700 That's the code word. 01:26:10.140 --> 01:26:11.660 So, now... 01:26:11.660 --> 01:26:14.420 remember how the church went into apostasy? 01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.980 The arguments from the great controversy were... 01:26:17.980 --> 01:26:20.840 that Ellen White records that were current... 01:26:20.840 --> 01:26:22.680 when the apostasy was developing... 01:26:23.460 --> 01:26:26.420 was that with some concessions on their part... 01:26:26.420 --> 01:26:27.420 that's the idolaters... 01:26:27.420 --> 01:26:29.860 they proposed that Christians should make concessions... 01:26:29.860 --> 01:26:33.320 that all might unite on the platform of belief in Christ. 01:26:33.500 --> 01:26:33.680 Yes. 01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:34.520 Constantine. 01:26:35.080 --> 01:26:38.660 Now, a very important part of this first thesis is... 01:26:38.660 --> 01:26:40.520 as they comment on it... 01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:42.720 Heinrich Fries comments on it in the book... 01:26:42.720 --> 01:26:44.560 the one church to be is a possibility... 01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:46.280 only if it is a community of faith. 01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:49.240 Now, I ran into that over and over again at the seminary. 01:26:49.660 --> 01:26:52.260 In the scholarly writings of the Jesuits and the scholars... 01:26:52.260 --> 01:26:55.120 there is this emphasis on the community of faith. 01:26:55.540 --> 01:26:57.840 Only the community of faith can do theology. 01:26:58.460 --> 01:27:02.280 Only the community of faith is prior to the individual. 01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:05.420 The individual is assumed into the community of faith. 01:27:05.420 --> 01:27:07.540 What they do is they take the Protestant Reformation... 01:27:08.100 --> 01:27:09.480 of the priesthood of all believers... 01:27:09.480 --> 01:27:11.540 and turn it on its head. 01:27:12.080 --> 01:27:16.480 And the church takes emphasis over the individual. 01:27:17.020 --> 01:27:19.980 Now, I have a book over here, John... 01:27:19.980 --> 01:27:21.260 that I'd like to refer to. 01:27:25.610 --> 01:27:28.870 It's a book by a Jesuit from Notre Dame. 01:27:29.390 --> 01:27:30.170 Yes, here it is. 01:27:30.210 --> 01:27:31.250 What did he have to say? 01:27:31.730 --> 01:27:34.730 This is Mackenzie from Notre Dame... 01:27:34.730 --> 01:27:38.010 and he goes in some detail at the beginning of this book... 01:27:38.010 --> 01:27:42.230 to describe the fact that the church community... 01:27:42.230 --> 01:27:44.590 has priority over the individual. 01:27:45.510 --> 01:27:50.010 And the church gives the word to the individual. 01:27:50.530 --> 01:27:52.730 Therefore, you see, if that is the case... 01:27:53.450 --> 01:27:56.090 then the church is above the word. 01:27:56.510 --> 01:27:56.670 Yes. 01:27:56.970 --> 01:27:59.450 The word comes out of the church. 01:27:59.710 --> 01:28:01.890 Therefore, the church has priority over the word. 01:28:01.950 --> 01:28:03.990 And if you don't accept the word of the church... 01:28:03.990 --> 01:28:05.370 then you are divisive. 01:28:05.710 --> 01:28:06.510 And you're in apostasy. 01:28:06.690 --> 01:28:08.310 You're in apostasy and you're a heretic. 01:28:08.610 --> 01:28:09.990 That's exactly right. 01:28:10.090 --> 01:28:12.390 It seems like I've heard that someplace before. 01:28:12.590 --> 01:28:15.390 Yes, and you see, what is the Protestant concept? 01:28:15.550 --> 01:28:19.190 The Protestant concept is that the word has preeminence. 01:28:19.210 --> 01:28:19.650 Amen. 01:28:19.690 --> 01:28:22.990 And the church is to be in submission to the word. 01:28:23.090 --> 01:28:26.970 And the message of the word calls the church into being. 01:28:27.270 --> 01:28:28.790 That's how our movement got started. 01:28:28.830 --> 01:28:30.830 That's why we are Protestants. 01:28:30.850 --> 01:28:31.390 That's right. 01:28:31.390 --> 01:28:35.530 Because we won't accept the interpretation of the church of the word. 01:28:35.890 --> 01:28:39.430 We are the priesthood of all believers who are able to stand on our own two spiritual 01:28:39.430 --> 01:28:39.730 feet. 01:28:40.010 --> 01:28:42.070 That's what Martin Luther said. 01:28:42.130 --> 01:28:43.550 That's what started this whole thing. 01:28:43.790 --> 01:28:46.990 John, I want to touch on something here before we move too far. 01:28:47.410 --> 01:28:49.130 And I have another book here I want you to see. 01:28:49.670 --> 01:28:51.250 You've got a lot of books, Bob. 01:28:52.550 --> 01:28:55.390 And, you know, we're just going to keep the tape rolling, brother. 01:28:55.490 --> 01:28:58.210 You just show us this material that you've got. 01:28:58.210 --> 01:29:03.770 This is a book by one of the most prominent Jesuits, John Kirtney Murray, 01:29:04.310 --> 01:29:05.190 Society of Jesus. 01:29:05.370 --> 01:29:09.290 We Hold These Truths, Catholic Reflections on the American Proposition. 01:29:09.870 --> 01:29:13.870 Now, what this Jesuit does, and he is very intelligent and very keen... 01:29:13.870 --> 01:29:15.210 Do you know a Jesuit that is not? 01:29:15.850 --> 01:29:19.670 I mean, these guys are masters at what they do. 01:29:20.370 --> 01:29:26.590 What this book is, John, he attacks the foundations of the philosophy upon which 01:29:26.590 --> 01:29:28.050 our Constitution rests. 01:29:28.050 --> 01:29:30.190 And he attacks John Locke. 01:29:30.330 --> 01:29:36.130 Now, John Locke propounded the concept of the law of nature upon which our concept 01:29:36.130 --> 01:29:40.230 of inalienable human rights, natural rights, rests. 01:29:40.670 --> 01:29:43.710 He attacks that, and he says that is selfish. 01:29:44.590 --> 01:29:51.270 And what we need is Roman Catholic natural law, in which he makes a sharp distinction 01:29:51.270 --> 01:29:55.650 between the law of nature of John Locke and Roman Catholic natural law. 01:29:55.650 --> 01:29:58.310 Now, Roman Catholic natural law... 01:29:58.310 --> 01:30:02.830 That's what Clarence Thomas, all through the hearings for Clarence Thomas, 01:30:02.890 --> 01:30:07.450 that's what I kept hearing over and over and over again, was this natural law. 01:30:07.570 --> 01:30:08.610 What was he talking about? 01:30:08.670 --> 01:30:10.970 What's this natural law that Clarence Thomas was talking about? 01:30:11.370 --> 01:30:17.090 The one who developed it to its apex was Thomas Aquinas, the greatest systematic 01:30:17.090 --> 01:30:21.770 theologian that the Catholic Church has ever had, and it rests on Plato's 01:30:21.770 --> 01:30:22.410 Republic. 01:30:22.410 --> 01:30:28.270 And what it means, basically, John, is that this man is attacking the 01:30:28.270 --> 01:30:29.510 Protestant foundations. 01:30:30.150 --> 01:30:35.630 You see, in the Protestant thinking, the priority of conscience, in direct 01:30:35.630 --> 01:30:39.570 submission to the Word and to Jesus Christ, assumes precedent. 01:30:40.110 --> 01:30:44.950 And the concept of the priesthood of all believers was so powerful, and the 01:30:44.950 --> 01:30:50.390 experience of the Reformers was so strong, and in the Puritan movement, that 01:30:50.390 --> 01:30:53.150 government had to shape itself around that. 01:30:53.410 --> 01:30:57.870 Churches had to shape itself around it, like Ellen White says, that the Pilgrim 01:30:57.870 --> 01:31:02.210 Fathers that came here founded a nation without a king, and a church without a 01:31:02.210 --> 01:31:04.590 pope, because individual conscience was supreme. 01:31:05.050 --> 01:31:09.770 Now, if vital Protestantism is gone, and that supremacy of individual 01:31:09.770 --> 01:31:14.870 conscience in relationship to God is gone, natural law can move in, because in 01:31:14.870 --> 01:31:20.850 natural law, the individual submits to the order imposed by the church and the state. 01:31:21.190 --> 01:31:26.270 So, this natural law that our new Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas believes in, 01:31:26.630 --> 01:31:28.090 is Catholic-oriented. 01:31:28.090 --> 01:31:29.970 It is a Catholic law. 01:31:30.190 --> 01:31:34.830 And when he was talking about natural law, he was talking about a Roman Catholic 01:31:34.830 --> 01:31:35.410 principle. 01:31:35.770 --> 01:31:39.870 Well, they are studying this book at Catholic universities. 01:31:39.870 --> 01:31:42.030 This is Catholic thinking. 01:31:42.210 --> 01:31:46.770 This is the Catholic blueprint for undermining and destroying our 01:31:46.770 --> 01:31:47.350 Constitution. 01:31:47.530 --> 01:31:53.450 But why I point this out, John, is because this Jesuit attack upon the 01:31:53.450 --> 01:31:59.550 primacy of individual conscience is so broad and far-reaching, it's hitting every 01:31:59.550 --> 01:32:02.550 aspect of our society, as well as our church. 01:32:02.550 --> 01:32:08.830 And what we're struggling with in our church right now is, which concept is 01:32:08.830 --> 01:32:09.810 going to be supreme? 01:32:10.310 --> 01:32:14.290 Is the word going to be supreme, and the individual conscience in 01:32:14.290 --> 01:32:17.710 submission to that word, which is Protestantism, according to Ellen White's 01:32:17.710 --> 01:32:19.650 chapter on the protest at Spires? 01:32:20.790 --> 01:32:23.090 Conscience is above the church? 01:32:23.210 --> 01:32:28.410 Or will it be a situation where the church dominates the conscience, and the 01:32:28.410 --> 01:32:33.010 conscience has to submit to church structure and government structure? 01:32:33.450 --> 01:32:38.310 That's the struggle that's going on in Seventh-day Advent church between the 01:32:38.310 --> 01:32:41.390 organized conferences and the independent ministries. 01:32:41.750 --> 01:32:45.210 And the independent ministries are pleading with our people to please read 01:32:45.210 --> 01:32:46.370 and study on their own. 01:32:46.650 --> 01:32:51.610 It's the Protestant concept of doing your own reading and researching and standing 01:32:51.610 --> 01:32:52.650 on your own spiritual feet. 01:32:52.650 --> 01:32:55.550 And the conference is saying, just trust us. 01:32:55.690 --> 01:32:56.650 Stay with the conference. 01:32:57.010 --> 01:33:00.650 The church is going through, and the church is the conference. 01:33:00.750 --> 01:33:01.890 The conference is the church. 01:33:02.150 --> 01:33:03.030 And just trust us. 01:33:03.250 --> 01:33:06.390 And if you need to know anything, it will come out in the Union paper or in 01:33:06.390 --> 01:33:07.310 the Adventist Review. 01:33:07.710 --> 01:33:08.430 Just trust. 01:33:08.750 --> 01:33:10.650 It's this... I see now... 01:33:10.650 --> 01:33:14.790 It is the struggle between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism taking place right 01:33:14.790 --> 01:33:15.830 now in our church. 01:33:15.830 --> 01:33:16.710 In the Seventh-day Adventist church. 01:33:16.810 --> 01:33:19.470 And that's the struggle between the independent ministries and the conference. 01:33:19.470 --> 01:33:25.910 Is the principle of Protestantism versus Catholicism. 01:33:26.030 --> 01:33:32.010 You realize that as long as we've been in this struggle, that I have never realized 01:33:32.010 --> 01:33:35.470 that it was Protestantism versus Catholicism. 01:33:35.790 --> 01:33:40.910 I mean, it may seem elementary and simple to you, but I have to be totally honest 01:33:40.910 --> 01:33:45.470 with you that this is the first time that I have really understood this. 01:33:45.470 --> 01:33:51.910 For what it was, that we're dealing with Protestantism and Catholicism between the 01:33:51.910 --> 01:33:54.850 independent ministries and the organized conferences. 01:33:55.970 --> 01:34:00.790 One is people standing on their own two spiritual feet, and the other is trust the 01:34:00.790 --> 01:34:01.150 church. 01:34:01.590 --> 01:34:03.410 And it is a fierce battle. 01:34:03.810 --> 01:34:03.970 Believe me. 01:34:04.910 --> 01:34:05.910 It is a fierce battle. 01:34:06.170 --> 01:34:06.450 Unbelievable. 01:34:06.730 --> 01:34:10.910 And that's why this book, Great Controversy, every lesson in it we have to 01:34:10.910 --> 01:34:11.610 have mastered. 01:34:12.050 --> 01:34:12.430 Oh. 01:34:13.450 --> 01:34:14.090 Every lesson. 01:34:14.090 --> 01:34:16.090 I tell you, I just feast on that book. 01:34:16.490 --> 01:34:21.730 If there is one thing that people have learned from my videos, it's my love for 01:34:21.730 --> 01:34:23.190 the Triumph of God's Love, the Great Controversy. 01:34:24.050 --> 01:34:28.330 And I just love that big Karl Porter edition there with the big print. 01:34:28.430 --> 01:34:29.130 And I just go through it. 01:34:29.130 --> 01:34:30.430 When I get to the end, I go through it again. 01:34:30.670 --> 01:34:34.630 If our people were just reading and studying, they could see this thing for 01:34:34.630 --> 01:34:35.390 what it is. 01:34:35.550 --> 01:34:35.590 That's right. 01:34:36.150 --> 01:34:40.170 It's a struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism. 01:34:40.330 --> 01:34:40.730 Absolutely. 01:34:40.730 --> 01:34:44.510 And this struggle over the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document is 01:34:44.510 --> 01:34:45.410 precisely that. 01:34:45.950 --> 01:34:49.970 Because let me read to you a little bit out of the Waldensian response. 01:34:50.270 --> 01:34:51.350 You know the old Waldensians? 01:34:51.530 --> 01:34:51.890 Oh, yeah. 01:34:52.030 --> 01:34:53.050 They responded to this. 01:34:53.130 --> 01:34:56.870 Now, I don't believe they should be in this process any more than we should. 01:34:57.210 --> 01:35:04.990 But they were notable for their rejection of the basic premise of the BEM document. 01:35:04.990 --> 01:35:10.710 Whereas we were noted in the materials that came out from the Faith and Order 01:35:10.710 --> 01:35:15.330 Commission in this book, we were noted as being one of the most affirmative churches 01:35:15.330 --> 01:35:18.490 in affirming our appreciation... 01:35:18.490 --> 01:35:19.350 To the Roman Catholic Church. 01:35:19.370 --> 01:35:22.150 ...to the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document. 01:35:22.730 --> 01:35:27.770 We, as well as the Roman Catholic Church, were noted in here for our appreciation. 01:35:27.770 --> 01:35:31.430 Well, that's why we have the Roman Catholics coming to our general conference 01:35:31.430 --> 01:35:35.830 sessions in Indianapolis and addressing the group and welcoming them. 01:35:36.330 --> 01:35:41.190 And why we are just mollycoddling the Roman Catholics. 01:35:41.370 --> 01:35:46.170 Because we are one of the Protestant churches that is being the quickest to 01:35:46.170 --> 01:35:48.350 clasp the hands of the Roman power. 01:35:49.730 --> 01:35:52.150 It's absolutely unbelievable. 01:35:52.570 --> 01:35:58.970 And still, our faithful Adventist people that have been in the church all their 01:35:58.970 --> 01:36:02.030 lives are saying, Just stay with the church. 01:36:02.110 --> 01:36:03.050 The church is going through. 01:36:03.110 --> 01:36:06.470 Did you read that article in the recent review with the ship on the front? 01:36:07.330 --> 01:36:08.550 Was it by Roger Kuhn? 01:36:08.630 --> 01:36:09.210 Who was it by? 01:36:11.890 --> 01:36:17.550 The article on, or maybe it was Robert Olson, about how the church is going 01:36:17.550 --> 01:36:22.670 through and twisting the writings of Ellen White showing that the conference is the 01:36:22.670 --> 01:36:22.970 church. 01:36:23.070 --> 01:36:24.370 We've got to stay with the conference. 01:36:24.810 --> 01:36:26.790 And our people are just accepting this stuff. 01:36:27.090 --> 01:36:28.110 Do you know why, Bob? 01:36:28.350 --> 01:36:29.030 They're not studying. 01:36:29.030 --> 01:36:31.650 I took the words right out of my mouth. 01:36:31.870 --> 01:36:33.030 They're not studying. 01:36:33.130 --> 01:36:34.570 Our people are not studying. 01:36:35.150 --> 01:36:39.870 No one of us, I believe, understands the gravity of this issue. 01:36:39.990 --> 01:36:45.790 Because Satan's plan, according to Great Controversy, is to get people away from 01:36:45.790 --> 01:36:50.330 studying for themselves and to put their confidence in pastors, teachers, 01:36:50.630 --> 01:36:52.310 professors of theology, and church leaders. 01:36:54.630 --> 01:36:55.910 She's warned us. 01:36:56.230 --> 01:36:56.730 It's there. 01:36:56.810 --> 01:36:58.450 But the Waldensees, what did they say? 01:36:58.450 --> 01:37:01.850 They had the strongest criticism of all the churches. 01:37:02.470 --> 01:37:06.030 Among this group of critical comments, the strongest ones come from the 01:37:06.030 --> 01:37:07.890 Waldensean and Methodist churches in Italy. 01:37:08.350 --> 01:37:11.970 Their synod points out, together with differentiations and affirmative remarks, 01:37:12.150 --> 01:37:17.730 that BEM, quote, indicates a convergence in a sacramental and clerical direction, 01:37:17.810 --> 01:37:21.690 that's what we're talking about, which is opposite to the direction in 01:37:21.690 --> 01:37:24.990 which the gospel calls the church in its witness in the world. 01:37:24.990 --> 01:37:30.250 And that, quote, this ecumenical document centers the faith, communion, and 01:37:30.250 --> 01:37:35.170 Christian witness not on God and the gospel, but rather on the church as a 01:37:35.170 --> 01:37:39.530 sacred structure that has and gives guarantees of the Spirit's activities 01:37:39.530 --> 01:37:44.910 through a cast endowed with priestly powers, mediatorial and representing the 01:37:44.910 --> 01:37:45.370 divine. 01:37:45.950 --> 01:37:49.030 And that is exactly the struggle that we're in now. 01:37:51.950 --> 01:37:54.890 Bob, you keep referring to this BEM volume. 01:37:55.110 --> 01:37:56.170 Okay, this is volume 6. 01:37:56.750 --> 01:37:58.310 That has the Roman Catholic response in it. 01:37:59.010 --> 01:38:00.890 Now this has the Seventh-day Adventist response in it. 01:38:00.910 --> 01:38:06.230 Okay, now all these... I just realized they all have these three wavy lines all 01:38:06.230 --> 01:38:06.410 the way. 01:38:06.470 --> 01:38:06.930 What are these? 01:38:07.310 --> 01:38:10.270 Do you think there's any significance to these three wavy lines on all these? 01:38:10.410 --> 01:38:12.030 Now these are the responses... 01:38:12.550 --> 01:38:14.390 The responses of the churches to the document. 01:38:14.390 --> 01:38:16.690 Of the churches to Vatican II? 01:38:16.690 --> 01:38:20.730 Well, in essence, that's what it boils down to because the Baptism, Eucharist, 01:38:20.770 --> 01:38:22.470 and Ministry document rests on that. 01:38:22.470 --> 01:38:22.550 Who's this printed by? 01:38:23.070 --> 01:38:25.030 This is printed by the World Council of Churches. 01:38:25.050 --> 01:38:26.650 This is printed by the World Council of Churches. 01:38:26.750 --> 01:38:30.290 Do you think there's any significance to these three wavy lines on all of these BEM 01:38:30.290 --> 01:38:30.870 documents? 01:38:31.390 --> 01:38:32.390 What do you see in it, John? 01:38:32.750 --> 01:38:37.870 I see something that very closely looks like our new in-gathering brochure. 01:38:37.870 --> 01:38:38.290 Is that right? 01:38:38.830 --> 01:38:39.370 Is that right? 01:38:39.370 --> 01:38:45.430 There are three wavy lines almost in all the artwork on every page of the new 01:38:45.430 --> 01:38:49.030 in-gathering brochure to be used for this year's in-gathering campaign. 01:38:49.430 --> 01:38:50.850 There are three wavy lines. 01:38:51.490 --> 01:38:56.190 And then it comes down to the end to where it just goes into one wavy line. 01:38:56.530 --> 01:39:02.910 Now, do you see anything in these three wavy lines of apostate Protestantism, 01:39:03.150 --> 01:39:05.070 Catholicism, and Spiritualism? 01:39:05.450 --> 01:39:06.670 Well, there's three parts to Babylon. 01:39:06.770 --> 01:39:07.130 I know that. 01:39:07.130 --> 01:39:11.670 And then at the end it goes into one line to where it takes the three elements of 01:39:11.670 --> 01:39:20.270 the three unclean spirits like frogs that go together into one at the very end of 01:39:20.270 --> 01:39:20.850 the brochure. 01:39:20.930 --> 01:39:21.770 It's startling. 01:39:22.070 --> 01:39:26.810 And I see these same three wavy lines on all of this stuff that's from the World 01:39:26.810 --> 01:39:27.730 Council of Churches. 01:39:27.790 --> 01:39:29.630 I see it on this. 01:39:30.270 --> 01:39:31.870 It's even on the BEM document. 01:39:32.350 --> 01:39:34.230 Is this the first time that you've noticed this? 01:39:34.290 --> 01:39:35.790 I didn't. 01:39:35.790 --> 01:39:39.310 It didn't register with me about the three lines on every one of them. 01:39:39.490 --> 01:39:41.370 Have you seen our in-gathering brochure? 01:39:41.470 --> 01:39:41.670 No, I haven't. 01:39:41.670 --> 01:39:42.650 Oh, you haven't. 01:39:42.710 --> 01:39:44.350 So I'm telling you about this for the first time. 01:39:44.470 --> 01:39:44.610 That's right. 01:39:44.930 --> 01:39:45.990 We're both learning today. 01:39:46.650 --> 01:39:50.430 I'm noticing that on all of these books you've got, we've got these three wavy 01:39:50.430 --> 01:39:51.670 lines on all of them. 01:39:51.990 --> 01:39:56.290 And this is exactly the three wavy lines that are in the new Seventh-day Adventist 01:39:56.290 --> 01:39:58.050 in-gathering brochure. 01:39:58.050 --> 01:40:03.110 And it represents apostate Protestantism, Catholicism, and Spiritualism. 01:40:03.350 --> 01:40:04.670 And they're all coming together. 01:40:05.690 --> 01:40:09.350 You know, this is just incredible stuff, Bob. 01:40:09.570 --> 01:40:14.770 John, you know, what led us into all of this was the fact that as I breezed 01:40:14.770 --> 01:40:21.050 quickly through the Seventh-day Adventist response here, I underlined and made notes 01:40:21.050 --> 01:40:24.790 where we referred to the fundamental beliefs. 01:40:24.790 --> 01:40:30.450 Because the first part, the very first thesis of the strategy for bringing all 01:40:30.450 --> 01:40:34.590 the churches together, the Jesuit strategy, is this matter of a creed and 01:40:34.590 --> 01:40:35.430 the community of faith. 01:40:35.530 --> 01:40:43.990 Incidentally, there was a recent editorial in the review that strongly supported this 01:40:43.990 --> 01:40:48.570 concept of the community of faith and opposed the idea that anyone could develop 01:40:48.570 --> 01:40:55.590 theology in isolation, like Noah or Elijah or Moses, you know, or anything like this. 01:40:55.970 --> 01:41:01.150 Anyway, over and over again, the fundamental beliefs are referred to. 01:41:01.490 --> 01:41:06.010 There is not one direct quote from the Bible or the Spirit of Prophecy in our 01:41:06.010 --> 01:41:06.350 response. 01:41:06.650 --> 01:41:08.310 All we refer to is our creed. 01:41:08.330 --> 01:41:09.090 Fundamental beliefs. 01:41:09.110 --> 01:41:10.870 Have we adopted a creed, Bob? 01:41:10.990 --> 01:41:13.190 Well, de facto, absolutely. 01:41:13.610 --> 01:41:14.170 Absolutely. 01:41:14.490 --> 01:41:16.390 And it's in the review editorials. 01:41:16.390 --> 01:41:21.110 We have established a creed and that has become our document of faith. 01:41:21.150 --> 01:41:25.390 But what is so significant about it, John, is that the Jesuits like to have a 01:41:25.390 --> 01:41:29.190 church moved on to a creed because then they can work that creed. 01:41:29.310 --> 01:41:34.070 And the creed can change and evolve into bringing all the churches back together. 01:41:34.490 --> 01:41:34.950 It sure is. 01:41:34.950 --> 01:41:36.350 Does our church manual change? 01:41:36.410 --> 01:41:37.810 You better believe it does. 01:41:38.210 --> 01:41:41.330 To the whims of the conference brethren, they change it. 01:41:42.050 --> 01:41:48.150 I will say that they did a rather strict analysis in comparison to our fundamental 01:41:48.150 --> 01:41:48.630 beliefs. 01:41:49.150 --> 01:41:55.190 And they did even make the comment here that the BEM document is too Catholic in 01:41:55.190 --> 01:41:55.650 intent. 01:41:55.930 --> 01:42:02.450 But I would emphasize that there is always a staged development in the process. 01:42:02.770 --> 01:42:08.130 And you see, the fact, this crucial fact for me, is that it's resting on a creed 01:42:08.130 --> 01:42:08.430 now. 01:42:08.650 --> 01:42:09.810 Our response to this. 01:42:09.810 --> 01:42:13.290 First of all, we shouldn't be in the process of ecumenism at all. 01:42:13.630 --> 01:42:17.870 Second of all, the fact that we are now resting our case on a creed, which is 01:42:17.870 --> 01:42:18.970 changing steadily. 01:42:19.430 --> 01:42:20.970 I just thought of something, Bob. 01:42:21.250 --> 01:42:22.770 I'm not trying to change the subject. 01:42:22.970 --> 01:42:25.190 I just thought of something and I want to comment on it. 01:42:25.730 --> 01:42:29.750 Do you realize what you are opening yourself up to? 01:42:30.350 --> 01:42:34.350 Coming here to Prophecy Countdown and appearing in this video with me. 01:42:34.350 --> 01:42:39.350 They have absolutely unleashed the demons of hell upon me and this ministry. 01:42:40.490 --> 01:42:45.230 Every type of diabolical smear tactic that they possibly can use against me, 01:42:45.290 --> 01:42:45.930 they have used. 01:42:46.110 --> 01:42:48.370 And are continuing and it is intensifying daily. 01:42:48.730 --> 01:42:50.470 They have disfellowshipped me personally. 01:42:50.570 --> 01:42:51.910 They have disbanded my church. 01:42:52.370 --> 01:42:56.810 They have done every form of persecution that is legal thus far. 01:42:57.190 --> 01:43:01.230 They have hired a full time pastor, taken him from his church to do nothing 01:43:01.230 --> 01:43:03.770 but in private investigation try to dig up dirt on me. 01:43:03.770 --> 01:43:07.290 And have made the rounds of all former employees of Prophecy Countdown. 01:43:07.950 --> 01:43:09.910 Disgruntled church members of the Rolling Hills Church. 01:43:10.010 --> 01:43:14.570 Anybody that has anything that is of a disparaging nature that they can come up 01:43:14.570 --> 01:43:15.690 with against Prophecy Countdown. 01:43:15.890 --> 01:43:19.910 They are even trying to come up with a video to refute what I am doing. 01:43:20.230 --> 01:43:25.250 Do you understand and have you understood before this moment what you were doing 01:43:25.250 --> 01:43:28.230 when you appeared on this video with me. 01:43:28.370 --> 01:43:30.290 And the truth that you are bringing out. 01:43:30.290 --> 01:43:33.690 Do you realize how this is going to shake up our Adventist people when they see 01:43:33.690 --> 01:43:34.090 this. 01:43:34.630 --> 01:43:38.130 I mean and from what I understand from you Bob. 01:43:38.670 --> 01:43:42.650 The tactics that they are using against me to discredit me in this ministry and 01:43:42.650 --> 01:43:44.070 trying to crush what I am doing. 01:43:44.530 --> 01:43:51.530 And to stop this material going out to our Adventist people and to diffuse it. 01:43:53.130 --> 01:43:56.490 Also is right out of the Roman Papacy. 01:43:56.670 --> 01:44:00.070 And right out of the tactics used by the Jesuits. 01:44:00.730 --> 01:44:04.690 First off I want to ask you if you realized what you were getting into when 01:44:04.690 --> 01:44:05.270 you came here. 01:44:05.490 --> 01:44:11.330 And number two how it plays into the whole scenario of Catholicism bringing the 01:44:11.330 --> 01:44:13.410 Seventh-day Adventist Church back into the fold. 01:44:13.470 --> 01:44:15.770 And all the Protestant churches back to the Mother Church. 01:44:16.010 --> 01:44:17.930 And if this has been used in the past. 01:44:17.930 --> 01:44:21.450 And if it has anything, the tactics that are being used against this ministry and 01:44:21.450 --> 01:44:25.390 me have anything to do with the material that you have already shown us. 01:44:26.190 --> 01:44:30.870 John, first of all for the first question I realize what I am doing coming here. 01:44:31.790 --> 01:44:32.890 We are in a war. 01:44:33.330 --> 01:44:33.730 Absolutely. 01:44:33.790 --> 01:44:36.550 The devil is making war against the remnant. 01:44:37.050 --> 01:44:39.130 And I would like to get another book here. 01:44:39.830 --> 01:44:41.990 Bob go ahead and bring as many books as you need over. 01:44:42.030 --> 01:44:44.090 If we need to move some of these off we will. 01:44:44.090 --> 01:44:51.150 Well first of all, John, the subject of rumor is an interesting one. 01:44:51.770 --> 01:44:58.530 In the Inquisition popular rumor was used as the basis for apprehending people and 01:44:58.530 --> 01:45:00.210 dragging them into the Inquisition. 01:45:02.610 --> 01:45:10.870 The use of rumor and propaganda was used against Martin Luther. 01:45:10.870 --> 01:45:15.330 And I would like to just bring you something from D'Aubigny's history of the 01:45:15.330 --> 01:45:15.690 Reformation. 01:45:16.270 --> 01:45:17.610 Oh, Ellen White loved that book, didn't she? 01:45:17.650 --> 01:45:21.570 Yes, she and James would read it for hours every Sabbath afternoon. 01:45:21.690 --> 01:45:24.250 So they used these same tactics against Martin Luther. 01:45:24.590 --> 01:45:26.390 Well, that makes me feel better. 01:45:27.570 --> 01:45:29.290 Well, here is the situation. 01:45:29.450 --> 01:45:32.730 You know, Staupitz introduced Luther to Christ. 01:45:33.170 --> 01:45:34.770 Right, he is the one that brought him into... 01:45:34.770 --> 01:45:39.930 But now as the heat came upon Martin Luther something happened to Staupitz. 01:45:41.590 --> 01:45:44.950 Some of his friends seemed inclined to retrace their steps. 01:45:45.650 --> 01:45:48.670 Staupitz, whom he designated his father, appeared shaken. 01:45:49.250 --> 01:45:53.750 The Pope had accused him, and Staupitz had declared his willingness to submit to the 01:45:53.750 --> 01:45:54.810 decision of his holiness. 01:45:55.570 --> 01:46:00.470 I fear, wrote Luther to him, that by accepting the Pope for judge, you seem to 01:46:00.470 --> 01:46:02.730 reject me and the doctrines I have maintained. 01:46:03.230 --> 01:46:06.770 If Christ loves you, he will constrain you to recall your letter. 01:46:06.770 --> 01:46:09.990 Christ is condemned, stripped, and blasphemed. 01:46:10.450 --> 01:46:13.130 This is a time not to fear, but to raise the voice. 01:46:13.670 --> 01:46:17.550 For this reason, while you exhort me to be humble, I exhort you to be proud. 01:46:17.930 --> 01:46:20.690 For you have too much humility, as I have too much pride. 01:46:21.110 --> 01:46:26.250 The world may call me proud, covetous, an adulterer, a murderer, anti-Pope, 01:46:26.370 --> 01:46:28.010 one who is guilty of every crime. 01:46:28.290 --> 01:46:29.250 So it all came in on him. 01:46:29.250 --> 01:46:30.950 They accused him of all those things. 01:46:30.950 --> 01:46:35.030 What matters it, provided I am not reproached with having wickedly kept 01:46:35.030 --> 01:46:39.610 silence at the moment our Lord said with sorrow, I looked on my right hand, 01:46:39.870 --> 01:46:42.250 and beheld, but there was no man that would know me. 01:46:42.530 --> 01:46:45.990 The word of Jesus Christ is a word not of peace, but of the sword. 01:46:46.350 --> 01:46:50.230 If you will not follow Jesus Christ, I will walk alone, will advance alone, 01:46:50.270 --> 01:46:52.470 and alone I will carry the fortress. 01:46:53.330 --> 01:46:56.530 And so Luther recognized that he was in a battle. 01:46:56.530 --> 01:47:01.790 They used propaganda warfare of rumor against him to try to destroy him. 01:47:02.130 --> 01:47:05.050 In fact, a lot of Daubenier is occupied with that. 01:47:05.170 --> 01:47:06.670 It's an old tactic. 01:47:07.870 --> 01:47:08.890 Go ahead, John. 01:47:09.050 --> 01:47:15.590 Well, that is incredible that this man that was responsible for bending Martin 01:47:15.590 --> 01:47:21.590 Luther's early relationship with the Lord and establishing Martin Luther in the 01:47:21.590 --> 01:47:28.070 faith, eventually turned against him, said he had gone too far, accused him of 01:47:28.070 --> 01:47:33.570 all these treacherous deeds, and went heading back towards Rome. 01:47:33.970 --> 01:47:35.950 Can I identify with that? 01:47:36.190 --> 01:47:36.570 Wow! 01:47:36.810 --> 01:47:38.810 I mean, that has happened to me. 01:47:38.810 --> 01:47:44.810 I mean, men who I fellowshiped with at one time and were very close to have now 01:47:44.810 --> 01:47:50.070 turned against me and accused me of the very things that they accused Martin 01:47:50.070 --> 01:47:54.230 Luther of and have headed back towards Rome and say that I have gone too far. 01:47:54.790 --> 01:47:56.150 I'll have to be honest with you. 01:47:56.190 --> 01:47:58.050 I can really identify with that. 01:47:58.310 --> 01:47:59.510 Well, John, another thing. 01:48:00.170 --> 01:48:05.350 Martin Luther was accused of dividing the church at the very time when it needed to 01:48:05.350 --> 01:48:05.870 be unified. 01:48:05.870 --> 01:48:08.730 The Turks were banging at the gates of Vienna. 01:48:08.910 --> 01:48:11.990 They had swept across North Africa and up into Spain. 01:48:12.450 --> 01:48:14.710 They were threatening the very existence of Christendom. 01:48:15.110 --> 01:48:19.370 And people came to Luther and they said, What are you doing splitting the church 01:48:19.370 --> 01:48:24.210 with your doctrine at this very critical hour when we need church unity above all 01:48:24.210 --> 01:48:24.430 else? 01:48:24.910 --> 01:48:29.930 And Martin Luther said, Our safety lies in obedience to the Word. 01:48:29.930 --> 01:48:32.810 And, you know, it was the same with the Waldensees. 01:48:32.950 --> 01:48:39.390 I have a tract at home in which the Roman Catholic Church accused the Waldensees of 01:48:39.390 --> 01:48:41.130 being opposed to church unity. 01:48:41.950 --> 01:48:44.010 And this is something very common. 01:48:44.110 --> 01:48:48.430 And here is an argument also which is used. 01:48:50.450 --> 01:48:57.330 Here was a Miltitz who was trying to win Martin Luther over with a very kindly 01:48:57.330 --> 01:49:04.210 approach, with a very thoughtful and accommodating approach to try to squelch 01:49:04.210 --> 01:49:06.950 the Reformation through kindness at the very beginning. 01:49:07.510 --> 01:49:10.850 My dear Martin, said the Pope's chamberlain in a fawning tone, 01:49:11.350 --> 01:49:15.090 I thought you were an old theologian who, seated quietly at his fireside, 01:49:15.150 --> 01:49:17.370 was laboring under some theological crotchet. 01:49:17.470 --> 01:49:21.010 But I see you are still a young man and in the prime of life. 01:49:21.010 --> 01:49:25.630 Do you know, continued he, assuming a graver tone, that you have drawn away 01:49:25.630 --> 01:49:28.350 everybody from the Pope and attached them to yourself? 01:49:29.190 --> 01:49:30.430 Have you ever heard that argument? 01:49:31.050 --> 01:49:31.490 Exactly! 01:49:31.710 --> 01:49:37.190 You know that I am some self-proclaimed Messiah that is supposed to... 01:49:37.190 --> 01:49:38.870 Well, how ridiculous! 01:49:39.770 --> 01:49:41.550 Number one, I'm not self-proclaimed. 01:49:41.670 --> 01:49:44.010 And number two, I'm not setting myself up as an example. 01:49:44.270 --> 01:49:46.310 All I'm saying is get back to the Word. 01:49:46.430 --> 01:49:47.750 Get back to thus saith the Lord. 01:49:48.050 --> 01:49:49.590 Read and study for yourself. 01:49:49.590 --> 01:49:55.790 And using these tactics of slander, you were telling me earlier, Bob, 01:49:55.850 --> 01:50:01.470 that this is not only the tactics of modern warfare and that we can go back for 01:50:01.470 --> 01:50:06.590 some time and explore that, but it's also incorporated by the Pentagon, by the CIA. 01:50:07.210 --> 01:50:08.870 How does all of this tie in? 01:50:08.930 --> 01:50:09.710 I would like to know. 01:50:09.890 --> 01:50:11.270 I want to look at that in just a second. 01:50:11.790 --> 01:50:19.570 Here is... the nuncio went on saying that he had... 01:50:19.570 --> 01:50:23.470 ...that you yourself have inflicted on the Church and that you alone can heal. 01:50:24.050 --> 01:50:26.110 Beware, said he, dropping a few tears. 01:50:26.250 --> 01:50:30.510 Beware of raising a tempest that would cause the destruction of Christendom. 01:50:30.970 --> 01:50:32.890 Oh, the destruction of the Church. 01:50:32.970 --> 01:50:33.770 We've got to do something. 01:50:33.870 --> 01:50:35.150 The Perth Declaration. 01:50:35.550 --> 01:50:40.010 And now that I've read about how the conference presidents and union presidents 01:50:40.010 --> 01:50:44.990 are not happy with the Perth Declaration and they even want them to put more bite 01:50:44.990 --> 01:50:50.790 and teeth into it and call us by name and say what we are doing and just really 01:50:50.790 --> 01:50:56.350 getting vehement against the independent ministries that are daring to reveal to 01:50:56.350 --> 01:50:59.930 our historic Adventist people what is really going on in the Church. 01:51:00.510 --> 01:51:07.050 John, it's interesting that Hitler understood the use of propaganda very 01:51:07.050 --> 01:51:07.810 powerfully. 01:51:07.810 --> 01:51:13.330 In fact, from the time of Marx and Engels on, in modern strategy, in the study of 01:51:13.330 --> 01:51:18.490 modern strategy, warfare is conceived of, first of all, as being diplomatic. 01:51:18.650 --> 01:51:20.690 That's like what the nuncio was doing with Luther. 01:51:22.210 --> 01:51:29.110 Diplomatic, ideological warfare, propaganda warfare, economic warfare, 01:51:29.110 --> 01:51:31.450 and military is only at the last resort. 01:51:31.570 --> 01:51:33.310 You can even look at the Kuwait War for that. 01:51:33.610 --> 01:51:34.770 But here's what Hitler said. 01:51:34.770 --> 01:51:40.290 He said, the place of artillery preparation for frontal attack will in the 01:51:40.290 --> 01:51:43.090 future be taken by revolutionary propaganda. 01:51:43.530 --> 01:51:48.790 He explained, in this way he would conquer the enemy's sight before his armies needed 01:51:48.790 --> 01:51:49.870 to fire their guns. 01:51:50.390 --> 01:51:55.290 How to achieve the moral breakdown of the enemy before the war has started, 01:51:55.610 --> 01:51:57.570 that is the problem that interests me. 01:51:57.570 --> 01:52:03.870 And so Hitler was interested in how to break down the moral defenses of the enemy 01:52:03.870 --> 01:52:04.750 by using propaganda. 01:52:05.250 --> 01:52:08.930 To wipe them out psychologically, to wipe them out morally. 01:52:09.170 --> 01:52:13.510 And here we have, published in Freedom's Ring in our last issue, our 01:52:13.510 --> 01:52:20.430 November-December issue, a course outline from the Pentagon that was used in 01:52:20.430 --> 01:52:25.730 training Latin American military officers on the utilization and containment of 01:52:25.730 --> 01:52:26.050 rumors. 01:52:26.050 --> 01:52:30.050 How to use rumor to destroy the enemy. 01:52:30.350 --> 01:52:33.990 And copies of this and other courses taught at the School of the Americas in 01:52:33.990 --> 01:52:39.370 the Panama Canal Zone have also appeared in the Jesuit magazine, Diagolo Social, 01:52:39.990 --> 01:52:41.390 published in Panama City. 01:52:41.950 --> 01:52:48.590 And so this is a course, and we have the outline here, in how to utilize rumor to 01:52:48.590 --> 01:52:49.470 destroy the enemy. 01:52:49.630 --> 01:52:53.930 One interesting formula in it is PR equals I times A. 01:52:53.930 --> 01:52:59.890 The power of the rumor, PR, equals I, the importance of the theme it refers to, 01:53:00.170 --> 01:53:02.250 times A, the ambiguity present. 01:53:04.230 --> 01:53:09.010 And so the objective of the course is to teach the dynamic of the procedure for 01:53:09.010 --> 01:53:09.930 disseminating rumors. 01:53:10.030 --> 01:53:13.850 Now, we're looking at a tremendous artillery barrage. 01:53:13.850 --> 01:53:18.530 You know, at the end of World War II, the Russians, when they began their last 01:53:18.530 --> 01:53:25.050 assault against Germany, unleashed 1,000 artillery pieces at the same time, 01:53:25.370 --> 01:53:26.710 early one morning. 01:53:27.230 --> 01:53:31.010 And we're now in a tremendous artillery barrage of propaganda. 01:53:31.290 --> 01:53:32.490 It's not stopping now. 01:53:32.950 --> 01:53:33.930 It's going to continue. 01:53:34.590 --> 01:53:39.110 It's going to increase until God's people are made the objects of universal 01:53:39.110 --> 01:53:40.430 execration. 01:53:40.430 --> 01:53:43.610 We have to count the cost, like Jesus said. 01:53:43.930 --> 01:53:47.570 Count the cost and see whether you're prepared. 01:53:48.310 --> 01:53:54.870 And I want to tell you, this Perth Declaration is the first major barrage, 01:53:55.210 --> 01:53:59.150 salvo, from the denominational leadership against the independent ministries. 01:53:59.230 --> 01:54:07.270 Really organized, calculated, orchestrated attack, like the 1,000 pieces of artillery 01:54:07.270 --> 01:54:09.110 by the Germans at one time. 01:54:09.110 --> 01:54:11.150 And it's just the beginning, folks. 01:54:11.310 --> 01:54:12.610 It is just the beginning. 01:54:13.250 --> 01:54:17.530 They are starting the intense persecution on the independent ministries because we 01:54:17.530 --> 01:54:22.670 have dared to wake up the sleeping saints in God's church and show them the stuff 01:54:22.670 --> 01:54:26.730 that's been going on for years right under our nose and nobody knew it. 01:54:26.910 --> 01:54:30.970 And praise God that He has raised up men like you to do the research to reveal to 01:54:30.970 --> 01:54:32.150 God's people what is going on. 01:54:32.150 --> 01:54:38.690 And I want to tell you, when our people see this research that you have done, 01:54:39.710 --> 01:54:42.550 Brother Bob, they've got to make either two choices. 01:54:43.150 --> 01:54:45.990 Either for Protestantism or for Catholicism. 01:54:46.450 --> 01:54:48.610 That's what it's all coming down to. 01:54:48.990 --> 01:54:53.410 You either accept Protestantism or you accept Catholicism. 01:54:53.730 --> 01:54:54.230 That's it. 01:54:54.690 --> 01:54:55.090 That's it. 01:54:55.390 --> 01:55:00.050 And Protestantism comes down, in the final analysis, to the three angels' messages. 01:55:00.050 --> 01:55:00.750 Absolutely. 01:55:01.050 --> 01:55:01.610 In verity. 01:55:02.430 --> 01:55:05.750 You know, one of the methods of dissemination, according to this course, 01:55:05.830 --> 01:55:07.130 is the use of agents. 01:55:07.610 --> 01:55:11.350 And it says, friends in the affected region originate the rumor within the 01:55:11.350 --> 01:55:17.670 group and they will create it by means of questions that insinuate their responses. 01:55:18.370 --> 01:55:23.490 And they will encourage sympathizers to disseminate stories and to distort them. 01:55:23.630 --> 01:55:27.690 And in a state of friendly confidence, they will spread the rumors. 01:55:27.690 --> 01:55:28.950 Friendly confidence. 01:55:29.710 --> 01:55:31.070 Does that have anything to do with NLP? 01:55:31.690 --> 01:55:33.290 Getting a person on your side? 01:55:33.830 --> 01:55:34.310 Pacing? 01:55:35.250 --> 01:55:35.730 Mirroring? 01:55:35.910 --> 01:55:36.310 Imaging? 01:55:37.210 --> 01:55:40.430 You know, all of these different techniques taught in NLP. 01:55:40.570 --> 01:55:42.550 How to get a person on your side. 01:55:42.690 --> 01:55:47.950 Get into their mind and work their mind around to your way of thinking and get 01:55:47.950 --> 01:55:48.890 the... 01:55:48.890 --> 01:55:50.690 It all fits together, John. 01:55:50.970 --> 01:55:51.390 All fits together. 01:55:51.390 --> 01:55:57.070 And what the devil is wanting to accomplish is to completely, with a 01:55:57.070 --> 01:56:02.750 knockout blow, nip in the bud the attempt at a revival of primitive godliness. 01:56:03.050 --> 01:56:04.510 Exactly what Satan is trying to do. 01:56:04.530 --> 01:56:05.350 That's what Satan is trying to do. 01:56:05.430 --> 01:56:07.650 That's the purpose of the celebration movement. 01:56:07.650 --> 01:56:07.670 Yes. 01:56:07.770 --> 01:56:10.150 The purpose of the charismatic movement. 01:56:10.270 --> 01:56:11.170 The false revival. 01:56:11.290 --> 01:56:13.430 The Catholic charismatic movement. 01:56:13.430 --> 01:56:20.170 I... so many things are bursting on my consciousness as I talk with you. 01:56:21.830 --> 01:56:26.490 This sounds elementary and I'm kind of afraid to say it, but this is the... 01:56:26.490 --> 01:56:32.250 And I guess I knew it all along, but maybe this is the first time that I've 01:56:32.250 --> 01:56:34.170 put it together and verbalized it. 01:56:34.490 --> 01:56:41.150 To realize that the celebration movement totally negates the three angels message. 01:56:41.150 --> 01:56:50.230 And the celebration movement has been organized and formulated to counteract the 01:56:50.230 --> 01:56:51.790 preaching of the three angels message. 01:56:52.110 --> 01:56:52.730 Absolutely. 01:56:53.650 --> 01:57:01.510 And John, thesis number two of the Jesuit strategy is that nothing may be rejected 01:57:01.510 --> 01:57:06.650 decisively and confessionally in one partner church which is binding dogma in 01:57:06.650 --> 01:57:07.610 another partner church. 01:57:07.610 --> 01:57:08.890 Do you understand that? 01:57:09.050 --> 01:57:15.730 That means that anything that the Roman Catholic Church holds cannot be decisively 01:57:15.730 --> 01:57:20.010 rejected in the world church to be by another group or entity. 01:57:20.350 --> 01:57:26.110 You cannot condemn Sunday keeping, you see, the Eucharist, any of that. 01:57:26.370 --> 01:57:30.050 That is all part of the strategy for the world church to be. 01:57:30.050 --> 01:57:36.590 Bob, it's just dawning on me here, something I've said in letters to our 01:57:36.590 --> 01:57:40.810 constituency for some time now, but now as I'm beginning to assimilate all 01:57:40.810 --> 01:57:48.270 of this information that you're giving us here, it's just becoming so clear that if 01:57:48.270 --> 01:57:53.270 we are going to preach the three angels message to the world, the laity have got 01:57:53.270 --> 01:57:53.970 to do it. 01:57:53.970 --> 01:57:58.250 Our denomination and our leadership and our church is not going to preach the 01:57:58.250 --> 01:58:00.510 three angels message to the world. 01:58:00.670 --> 01:58:02.470 We quit doing that years ago. 01:58:03.150 --> 01:58:07.710 And if we are... and they are even... not only are they not going to preach the 01:58:07.710 --> 01:58:11.570 three angels message, they quit that years ago, but even if we're not going to preach 01:58:11.570 --> 01:58:18.290 it, they have now formulated a strategy to crush the preaching of the three angels 01:58:18.290 --> 01:58:19.990 message and to negate it. 01:58:19.990 --> 01:58:23.590 Not only are they not preaching it, but they have now brought in celebration 01:58:23.590 --> 01:58:28.630 which totally strikes at the heart and does away with the preaching of the three 01:58:28.630 --> 01:58:29.210 angels message. 01:58:29.490 --> 01:58:34.630 So not only are they not going to preach it, but they don't want us, the laity, 01:58:34.770 --> 01:58:35.490 to preach it either. 01:58:35.710 --> 01:58:37.710 And that's what celebration is all about. 01:58:38.070 --> 01:58:43.470 And so what God's historic people, Adventist people must do is get serious 01:58:43.470 --> 01:58:48.510 about formulating our own plans through the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the 01:58:48.510 --> 01:58:50.150 three angels message to the world. 01:58:50.290 --> 01:58:52.270 We're the ones that are going to have to do it. 01:58:52.510 --> 01:58:57.750 We are the ones whom God is calling to preach the three angels message to the 01:58:57.750 --> 01:58:58.170 world. 01:58:58.290 --> 01:58:58.650 Exactly. 01:58:59.210 --> 01:59:02.950 And our weapon is the weapon of truth and the Holy Spirit. 01:59:03.230 --> 01:59:04.950 We can only use the weapons of heaven. 01:59:05.850 --> 01:59:10.730 And if we start to use the weapons of the enemy, we move over into his camp. 01:59:10.730 --> 01:59:17.370 So practical godliness is so critical and that we have the actual spirit of Christ. 01:59:17.470 --> 01:59:18.330 Now it's very interesting. 01:59:18.490 --> 01:59:22.690 In commenting on this thesis about no one condemning anything that's in another 01:59:22.690 --> 01:59:27.450 church, Carl Rainer says, and this is his reasoning and it fits in exactly with what 01:59:27.450 --> 01:59:33.170 the Great Controversy says, he says that no one can depend anymore on his own study 01:59:33.170 --> 01:59:35.170 to form his conclusions and his worldview. 01:59:35.170 --> 01:59:39.130 Quote, as an individual, one becomes ever more impotent. 01:59:39.510 --> 01:59:44.170 One has to depend more and more on the knowledge of others which one can no 01:59:44.170 --> 01:59:47.330 longer assimilate or check oneself. 01:59:47.750 --> 01:59:51.950 In other words, we have to depend on the ecclesiastical authorities. 01:59:52.290 --> 01:59:57.010 And he points out the holy office of the Inquisition, the sacred congregation for 01:59:57.010 --> 02:00:00.230 the doctrine of the faith as being the only body that can approach to this kind 02:00:00.230 --> 02:00:02.450 of competence in dealing with this. 02:00:02.450 --> 02:00:08.910 Incidentally, John, as you were talking, I remembered that one of the strategies of 02:00:08.910 --> 02:00:16.270 Carl Rainer in his book is that the ecclesiastical leadership of each church 02:00:16.270 --> 02:00:21.870 is responsible for maintaining discipline in its own ranks along the drive toward 02:00:21.870 --> 02:00:23.250 union with Rome. 02:00:23.450 --> 02:00:28.580 Maintaining discipline, getting rid of the dissidents and the ones who are divisive. 02:00:28.580 --> 02:00:33.840 And have you noticed that just in the last several years have they added the clause 02:00:33.840 --> 02:00:39.660 to their creedal document, the church manual, that gives another reason for 02:00:39.660 --> 02:00:41.640 church discipline, and that is being divisive. 02:00:42.400 --> 02:00:46.700 That was never part of the creed of the Seventh-day Advent Church before until 02:00:46.700 --> 02:00:51.340 recently because they wanted a way to disfellowship and get rid of the 02:00:51.340 --> 02:00:52.340 independent ministers. 02:00:52.660 --> 02:00:54.060 That's all in canon law, John. 02:00:54.200 --> 02:00:54.620 Absolutely. 02:00:54.960 --> 02:00:56.600 It's right out of Roman Catholic canon law. 02:00:56.600 --> 02:01:04.820 Canon law is the Catholic article, the Catholic institution of law, 02:01:04.940 --> 02:01:07.440 this natural law, this Catholic law. 02:01:07.800 --> 02:01:10.020 Let me get you a copy of it, John. 02:01:10.700 --> 02:01:13.680 So canon law is Catholic law. 02:01:15.540 --> 02:01:19.660 You need to make sure that people understand because I know throughout 02:01:19.660 --> 02:01:23.520 Freedom's Ring you refer to canon law and they need to understand that what you're 02:01:23.520 --> 02:01:26.600 referring to when you say canon law is Catholic law. 02:01:26.860 --> 02:01:27.300 Oh, absolutely. 02:01:27.640 --> 02:01:33.580 This was promulgated by John Paul II in 1983, Code of Canon Law. 02:01:34.260 --> 02:01:42.460 And in this book, at the back you have the sequence for trials under canon law. 02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:46.480 Now that's a whole other subject, John, which I hope if we have time we can 02:01:46.480 --> 02:01:51.540 get into, the difference between Roman Catholic canon law and English common law 02:01:51.540 --> 02:01:53.120 and American constitutionalism. 02:01:53.240 --> 02:01:59.580 Our whole system of law that we have in America rests upon English common law, 02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:06.300 which battled against canon law in providing safeguards and guarantees for 02:02:06.300 --> 02:02:09.300 the people of England and then ultimately in America. 02:02:09.460 --> 02:02:13.160 For instance, under canon law you could be arrested in the middle of the night under 02:02:13.160 --> 02:02:14.720 suspicion because of rumor. 02:02:15.260 --> 02:02:18.720 The judge can make the decision to have you arrested himself. 02:02:18.920 --> 02:02:20.560 You can be arrested in the middle of the night. 02:02:20.860 --> 02:02:22.460 Your family don't know where you've gone. 02:02:22.760 --> 02:02:23.500 You're in prison. 02:02:23.940 --> 02:02:28.880 You can be judged by the judge in secret and put to death in secret. 02:02:28.940 --> 02:02:30.660 No one ever knows what happened to you. 02:02:30.800 --> 02:02:32.020 That's what happened during the Dark Ages. 02:02:32.120 --> 02:02:33.480 During the Dark Ages, yes. 02:02:34.260 --> 02:02:38.860 Now, under English common law, first of all, if someone comes and takes 02:02:38.860 --> 02:02:43.960 you away in the middle of the night, your wife can get a writ of habeas corpus 02:02:43.960 --> 02:02:49.840 to demand the jailer to show cause why you are in prison. 02:02:50.060 --> 02:02:51.060 Here is the body. 02:02:51.220 --> 02:02:53.120 You bring the body up out of the jail. 02:02:53.540 --> 02:02:54.740 Here is the reason he's in. 02:02:55.360 --> 02:03:01.400 And then the accusations have to be made in public by an accuser. 02:03:01.480 --> 02:03:02.900 The judge is impartial. 02:03:03.300 --> 02:03:07.880 There is a jury that decides, of your peers, that decides whether you are guilty 02:03:07.880 --> 02:03:08.540 or innocent. 02:03:08.540 --> 02:03:15.300 And then the impartial judge will mete out the sentence. 02:03:15.960 --> 02:03:20.940 And in our whole Bill of Rights, there is the defense against Roman 02:03:20.940 --> 02:03:21.840 Catholic canon law. 02:03:21.900 --> 02:03:25.440 Now, that's why, with the new Supreme Court, which has been brought into 02:03:25.440 --> 02:03:29.740 position through the use of the abortion issue, and that's a whole other subject, 02:03:29.900 --> 02:03:36.640 John, we'll be here for days, the new judiciary and the new executive and 02:03:36.640 --> 02:03:43.620 legislative aspects of our government are all slanted now in a direction in which we 02:03:43.620 --> 02:03:46.580 are rolling back the clock and we are moving back to canon law. 02:03:46.680 --> 02:03:48.560 Even in decisions like Arizona v. 02:03:48.720 --> 02:03:55.160 Fulminati, the dissenting justices said, we have now, in this case, turned away 02:03:55.160 --> 02:04:00.020 from our accusatorial legal system and accepted the inquisitorial system. 02:04:00.020 --> 02:04:05.080 Because now, forced confessions can be accepted in court. 02:04:05.220 --> 02:04:12.160 Okay, speaking of common law and canon law, which law was it that was followed 02:04:12.160 --> 02:04:18.440 when the Florida Conference disfellowshipped me and they told me that 02:04:18.440 --> 02:04:23.100 my invitation to appear before them was rescinded and that I was taken off of the 02:04:23.100 --> 02:04:27.940 agenda and behind closed doors, behind my back, in secret, they 02:04:27.940 --> 02:04:31.420 disfellowshipped me from the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. 02:04:31.640 --> 02:04:33.560 Was that common law or canon law? 02:04:33.660 --> 02:04:35.240 Well, it certainly wasn't common law. 02:04:36.700 --> 02:04:42.860 Basically, they followed step-by-step the canon law procedure for the removal of a 02:04:42.860 --> 02:04:43.280 pastor. 02:04:43.460 --> 02:04:44.020 Now, what is that? 02:04:44.040 --> 02:04:45.720 In your disfellowshipping. 02:04:45.860 --> 02:04:48.180 The Catholic procedure for removing a pastor? 02:04:48.340 --> 02:04:48.480 Right. 02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:49.180 What is that? 02:04:49.300 --> 02:04:51.380 What is the agenda for that? 02:04:51.380 --> 02:04:56.420 Well, we go through it here in the last issue of Freedom's Ring. 02:04:58.980 --> 02:05:03.040 Does that have anything to do with the way that the Seventh-day Adventist church 02:05:03.040 --> 02:05:07.540 leadership is now removing historic Adventist pastors from their leadership 02:05:07.540 --> 02:05:08.060 positions? 02:05:08.100 --> 02:05:08.620 Not only that, but... 02:05:08.620 --> 02:05:10.220 Removing people from their church offices? 02:05:10.400 --> 02:05:11.260 Exactly, yes. 02:05:11.520 --> 02:05:17.100 In fact, in your case, it got to the point there at the end where they swept aside. 02:05:17.100 --> 02:05:21.780 And what I'm saying is they're following, they're paralleling it, whether it's a 02:05:21.780 --> 02:05:24.200 conscious or unconscious thing, you know, God only knows. 02:05:24.620 --> 02:05:30.680 They followed parallel the process, according to canon law, for the removal of 02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:33.060 a pastor in your disfellowshipping process. 02:05:33.200 --> 02:05:37.760 But at the end, as things intensified, they swept away even canon law and used 02:05:37.760 --> 02:05:41.980 what they had in the Inquisition, where there were no laws. 02:05:42.710 --> 02:05:48.000 And everything had to be swept away in the attempt to deal with the offender, 02:05:48.180 --> 02:05:49.880 so he wouldn't get out of their grasp. 02:05:50.040 --> 02:05:55.020 Does the situation now transpiring in Troy, Montana, have anything to do with 02:05:55.020 --> 02:05:57.060 canon law to where they are now? 02:05:57.380 --> 02:06:05.600 The Montana Conference has informed the Troy church that unless they disfellowship 02:06:05.600 --> 02:06:08.060 me, that they will disband their church? 02:06:08.060 --> 02:06:11.840 Well, John, backing up a little bit to some of the earlier questions, 02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:18.180 canon law declares in canon 1311, the church has an innate and proper right 02:06:18.180 --> 02:06:23.820 to coerce or force offending members of the Christian faithful by means of penal 02:06:23.820 --> 02:06:24.440 sanctions. 02:06:25.160 --> 02:06:30.760 And canon 1312, number 2, says the law can establish other expiatory penalties which 02:06:30.760 --> 02:06:35.300 deprive a believer of some spiritual or temporal good and are consistent with the 02:06:35.300 --> 02:06:36.880 supernatural end of the church. 02:06:36.880 --> 02:06:42.320 Then canon 1331, number 1, says an excommunicated person is forbidden, 02:06:42.500 --> 02:06:47.640 1, to have any ministerial participation in celebrating the Eucharistic sacrifice 02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:51.300 or in any other ceremonies whatsoever of public worship. 02:06:51.700 --> 02:06:56.680 Number 3, to discharge any ecclesiastical offices, ministries, or functions 02:06:56.680 --> 02:06:59.020 whatsoever or to place acts of governance. 02:07:00.740 --> 02:07:07.400 And then number 4, he cannot validly acquire a dignity, office, or other 02:07:07.400 --> 02:07:08.560 function in the church. 02:07:08.900 --> 02:07:13.020 Then in the area of controlling revenue, number 5, he cannot appropriate the 02:07:13.020 --> 02:07:14.160 revenues from any dignity. 02:07:14.220 --> 02:07:15.780 Have you noticed revenue is a big issue? 02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:17.140 Oh, that's the big thing, of course. 02:07:17.560 --> 02:07:21.080 That's why that tithe booklet was in the recent Adventist Review. 02:07:21.320 --> 02:07:24.100 Any dignity, office, function, or pension in the church. 02:07:24.100 --> 02:07:28.800 Canon 1333, number 4, a suspension forbidding one to collect revenues, 02:07:29.000 --> 02:07:31.240 stipends, pensions, or any other such thing. 02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:34.420 And then there are punishments for violating unity, you see. 02:07:34.700 --> 02:07:37.340 Offenses against religion and the unity of the church. 02:07:37.820 --> 02:07:43.280 Canon 1364, number 1, with due regard for canon 194, number 1. 02:07:43.360 --> 02:07:48.460 Number 2, an apostate from the faith, a heretic or a schismatic, incurs 02:07:48.460 --> 02:07:50.400 automatic excommunication. 02:07:50.400 --> 02:07:56.020 So, you see, if you are a heretic or a schismatic, you incur automatic 02:07:56.020 --> 02:07:57.580 excommunication. 02:07:58.280 --> 02:08:02.220 Number 2, if long-lasting contumacy, in other words, lack of submission, 02:08:02.520 --> 02:08:06.980 or the seriousness of scandal warrants it, other penalties can be added, including 02:08:06.980 --> 02:08:09.180 dismissal from the clerical state. 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:14.980 Canon 1369, a person who uses a public show or speech, published writings, 02:08:15.240 --> 02:08:20.560 or other media of social communication to blaspheme, seriously damage good morals, 02:08:20.700 --> 02:08:25.360 express wrongs against religion or against the church, or stir up hatred or contempt 02:08:25.360 --> 02:08:29.400 against religion or the church, is to be punished with a just penalty. 02:08:29.920 --> 02:08:33.900 Now, it's interesting that the early Christians were called haters of the human 02:08:33.900 --> 02:08:34.280 race. 02:08:34.640 --> 02:08:42.080 Tacitus records that for us in his Annals, how the reason the people were burned in 02:08:42.080 --> 02:08:49.160 the time of Nero was because the population regarded them as being haters 02:08:49.160 --> 02:08:50.320 of the human race. 02:08:50.800 --> 02:08:55.440 So, what we're moving into at the end of time is a situation where the unregenerate 02:08:55.440 --> 02:09:01.760 mind is going to look upon the faithful as being haters and not going along with love 02:09:01.760 --> 02:09:02.700 and unity. 02:09:03.600 --> 02:09:06.580 Then there's a section on punishment for offenses against leadership. 02:09:07.260 --> 02:09:10.940 Title 2, Offenses Against Ecclesiastical Authorities and the Freedom of the Church. 02:09:10.940 --> 02:09:15.060 Canon 1371, the following are to be punished with a just penalty. 02:09:15.520 --> 02:09:20.580 Canon 1373, one who publicly either stirs up hostilities or hatred among subjects 02:09:20.580 --> 02:09:23.840 against the apostolic see or against an ordinary. 02:09:24.000 --> 02:09:28.620 An ordinary is a person who has been given direct office, such as a pastor or 02:09:28.620 --> 02:09:32.880 whatever, on account of some act of ecclesiastical power or ministry or 02:09:32.880 --> 02:09:37.300 incites subjects to disobey them, is to be punished by an interdict or by 02:09:37.300 --> 02:09:38.640 other just penalties. 02:09:39.720 --> 02:09:44.560 Canon 1374, one who joins an association which plots against the church is to be 02:09:44.560 --> 02:09:46.180 punished with a just penalty. 02:09:46.900 --> 02:09:50.160 One who promotes or moderates such an association, however, is to be punished 02:09:50.160 --> 02:09:51.140 with an interdict. 02:09:52.500 --> 02:09:55.920 This is all canon law, Roman Catholic law. 02:09:55.940 --> 02:09:57.860 And then, listen to Canon 1404. 02:09:57.960 --> 02:10:01.980 Being followed by the Seventh Adventist Church in 1991 to the letter. 02:10:02.060 --> 02:10:05.500 The question you have to ask is, where does it say all these things in 02:10:05.500 --> 02:10:05.840 Scripture? 02:10:06.300 --> 02:10:07.940 It doesn't, or in the Spirit of Prophecy. 02:10:07.940 --> 02:10:13.020 If the Scripture is our norm for activity, where are all of these other things coming 02:10:13.020 --> 02:10:13.060 from? 02:10:13.060 --> 02:10:15.300 It comes right out of Roman Catholic canon law. 02:10:16.100 --> 02:10:17.940 Listen to this one, Canon 1404. 02:10:18.640 --> 02:10:21.140 The First See is judged by no one. 02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:23.680 That's like Robert Falkenberg. 02:10:23.680 --> 02:10:25.520 The Pope is judged by no one. 02:10:25.700 --> 02:10:27.940 The Adventist Pope is judged by no one. 02:10:28.320 --> 02:10:32.300 The manner of procedure in removing pastors, Canon 1740, when the ministry of 02:10:32.300 --> 02:10:36.320 any pastor has become detrimental or at least ineffective for any reason, 02:10:36.320 --> 02:10:40.760 he can be removed from the parish by the diocesan bishop, Canon 1741. 02:10:40.920 --> 02:10:44.380 The reasons for which a pastor can be legitimately removed from his parish are 02:10:44.380 --> 02:10:45.420 especially the following. 02:10:45.940 --> 02:10:51.260 Number one, a way of acting which is gravely detrimental or disturbing to the 02:10:51.260 --> 02:10:52.120 ecclesial community. 02:10:52.480 --> 02:10:57.040 So if a pastor acts in such a way that the rest of the ecclesiastical community is 02:10:57.040 --> 02:11:01.140 disturbed by him, that's justification for removing him from his parish. 02:11:01.400 --> 02:11:04.600 Like showing all the pastors that have been trained in hypnosis. 02:11:04.600 --> 02:11:05.580 Right, sure. 02:11:06.340 --> 02:11:07.480 Canon 1742. 02:11:09.160 --> 02:11:16.440 This canon requires the bishop to paternally persuade the pastor to resign 02:11:16.440 --> 02:11:21.080 the pastor within a period of 15 days after he has explained for validity the 02:11:21.080 --> 02:11:22.380 reason and arguments for removal. 02:11:22.980 --> 02:11:27.320 Canon 1744, number one, if the pastor hasn't answered within the aforementioned 02:11:27.320 --> 02:11:31.380 time period, the bishop is to repeat the invitation, extending the available time. 02:11:31.380 --> 02:11:35.180 Number two, if the bishop has the proof that the pastor has received the second 02:11:35.180 --> 02:11:40.240 invitation, but hasn't responded, and if the pastor refuses to sign, 02:11:40.320 --> 02:11:43.020 giving no reason, the bishop is to issue the decree of removal. 02:11:44.380 --> 02:11:50.480 Canon 1745, if the pastor opposes the cause alleged for removal and its reasons, 02:11:52.580 --> 02:11:57.420 the bishop is to, number one, invite the pastor to organize his challenges to 02:11:57.420 --> 02:12:01.280 removal in a written report, having inspected the acts, and also to offer 02:12:01.280 --> 02:12:03.220 proofs to the contrary, if he has any. 02:12:03.580 --> 02:12:06.940 Number two, consider the matter with the same pastors in committee, that is. 02:12:07.320 --> 02:12:11.440 Number three, determine whether or not the pastor must be removed and promptly issue 02:12:11.440 --> 02:12:13.100 a decree on the matter. 02:12:13.460 --> 02:12:17.400 Now there was a decree, I think you're probably aware, John, that was issued 02:12:17.400 --> 02:12:20.540 regarding your disfellowshipping that went out across the nation. 02:12:22.700 --> 02:12:23.580 Canon 1747. 02:12:23.580 --> 02:12:25.740 Okay, are you talking about telling them about it? 02:12:25.840 --> 02:12:26.620 Yeah, telling them about it. 02:12:26.620 --> 02:12:30.900 Yeah, they sent a fax and a letter to every conference president, and then the 02:12:30.900 --> 02:12:33.980 conference president sent it to the pastors, and the pastors read it from the 02:12:33.980 --> 02:12:34.280 pulpit. 02:12:34.740 --> 02:12:39.280 Canon 1747, number one, the removed pastor must abstain from exercising the office of 02:12:39.280 --> 02:12:43.560 pastor, vacate the rectory immediately, hand over all that pertains to the parish, 02:12:43.620 --> 02:12:46.220 to the one to whom the bishop shall entrust the parish. 02:12:47.100 --> 02:12:49.420 Well, those are just a few of the canon laws. 02:12:49.820 --> 02:12:53.620 We're following the Roman Catholic canon law to a T. 02:12:53.620 --> 02:12:59.320 Well, what's going to happen, John, is in the New World Order, as Rome takes 02:12:59.320 --> 02:13:04.740 over, according to Revelation 17, I believe we're going to see the complete 02:13:04.740 --> 02:13:08.760 takeover of canon law replacing our Constitution. 02:13:08.940 --> 02:13:13.800 Ellen White says that every Republican and Protestant principle of our Constitution 02:13:13.800 --> 02:13:15.080 will be repudiated. 02:13:15.160 --> 02:13:18.340 And you can see, according to this, that anyone that speaks out against the 02:13:18.340 --> 02:13:24.540 Pope, or in any way ruffles the thinking of the Roman Catholic Church, will be 02:13:24.540 --> 02:13:26.160 subject to penalty. 02:13:26.380 --> 02:13:29.500 As we are tabling this, this is the first week in December, 1991. 02:13:29.760 --> 02:13:34.080 Have you seen in the news this week, Bob, about how the Roman Catholic Church 02:13:34.080 --> 02:13:39.900 is getting so involved in this New World Order, and how everybody is looking to 02:13:39.900 --> 02:13:43.520 Pope John Paul to have a major role in this New World Order? 02:13:43.520 --> 02:13:44.860 I mean, even the news media. 02:13:45.320 --> 02:13:49.480 I mean, I have seen it in the newspapers and on the newscast several times just 02:13:49.480 --> 02:13:53.960 this week, about the New World Order and the part that the Roman papacy and Pope 02:13:53.960 --> 02:13:55.520 John Paul II is playing in this. 02:13:55.820 --> 02:13:56.040 Exactly. 02:13:56.380 --> 02:13:59.780 I mean, all the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together. 02:13:59.880 --> 02:14:05.100 Even, John, the Genocide Treaty, for example, and in our Constitution, 02:14:05.840 --> 02:14:12.680 under Article 6, Number 2, any treaties that we make become the supreme law of the 02:14:12.680 --> 02:14:13.000 land. 02:14:13.520 --> 02:14:20.000 And this is designed to target anyone who promulgates hatred against a class or 02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:21.880 religion or group of people. 02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:24.320 But hatred is in the eyes of the beholder. 02:14:24.980 --> 02:14:29.080 And just like the ancient Roman populace called the Christians the haters of the 02:14:29.080 --> 02:14:33.700 human race, so the, quote, Christian world, which is really an apostasy at the 02:14:33.700 --> 02:14:38.200 end, will regard the true faithful ones as being haters of the human race, 02:14:38.240 --> 02:14:40.540 and they'll become subject under these laws. 02:14:40.560 --> 02:14:44.780 But look, that goes all... I mean, I cannot help but think of Elijah, 02:14:44.920 --> 02:14:48.040 when King Ahab said, Thou the trouble of Israel. 02:14:48.400 --> 02:14:52.420 I mean, you know, the ones who have dared to speak out against the apostasy of 02:14:52.420 --> 02:14:56.880 leadership have always been accused of being the ones who bring all the trouble. 02:14:56.880 --> 02:15:02.460 And the haters of unity, and the haters of peace, and the haters of the human race, 02:15:02.680 --> 02:15:05.920 and all the troubles have been blamed on them because they dared to speak out 02:15:05.920 --> 02:15:07.000 against the apostasy. 02:15:07.320 --> 02:15:08.780 I mean, that's been going on for thousands of years. 02:15:08.800 --> 02:15:10.600 It's going to happen on a massive scale, John. 02:15:11.140 --> 02:15:13.760 But are our people ready, Bob? 02:15:14.300 --> 02:15:17.520 Are our historic Adventist people ready for this stuff that's happening? 02:15:17.840 --> 02:15:19.560 I don't think any of us are ready, John. 02:15:19.660 --> 02:15:22.120 But through the strength of the Lord, the weak can become as they... 02:15:22.120 --> 02:15:24.720 I am fearful for our people. 02:15:25.240 --> 02:15:26.540 I'm fearful for our people. 02:15:26.840 --> 02:15:28.020 Our people are calling... 02:15:28.020 --> 02:15:33.380 You know, we have six nationwide watch lines that used to be just good in the 02:15:33.380 --> 02:15:33.880 United States. 02:15:33.940 --> 02:15:38.760 Well, now we have 1-800-HIS-LOVE that's good in all of Canada, you know, 02:15:38.960 --> 02:15:42.700 almost all of North America now, 1-800-HIS-LOVE. 02:15:42.960 --> 02:15:46.640 And our Adventist people are calling from all over North America, Alaska, 02:15:46.780 --> 02:15:52.620 Hawaii, Canada, all the provinces, and even Puerto Rico and the Virgin 02:15:52.620 --> 02:15:55.380 Islands, and calling us. 02:15:55.620 --> 02:15:57.740 And our staff are just on the phone. 02:15:58.220 --> 02:16:03.140 I mean, you know, just yesterday, our switchboard operator was just 02:16:03.140 --> 02:16:05.420 absolutely exhausted by the time 5 o 'clock. 02:16:05.520 --> 02:16:07.680 She was just absolutely exhausted. 02:16:07.800 --> 02:16:08.420 Bless her heart. 02:16:08.480 --> 02:16:12.640 Linda just said, Pastor John, she says, almost all six lines have been lit up all 02:16:12.640 --> 02:16:12.960 day. 02:16:13.380 --> 02:16:16.620 You know, it just seems that that is almost all we do. 02:16:16.620 --> 02:16:22.760 And our Adventist people are just calling and just pleading for help, and telling 02:16:22.760 --> 02:16:26.580 the things that their pastor has said, stuff their pastor is putting up on the 02:16:26.580 --> 02:16:31.320 bulletin board about us, the tremendous slander and rumor that is being 02:16:31.320 --> 02:16:34.640 promulgated from the conference to the pastors, and the pastors to the church 02:16:34.640 --> 02:16:36.140 members about us. 02:16:36.440 --> 02:16:43.700 And it just seems that our people cannot withstand the onslaught that is being 02:16:43.700 --> 02:16:45.540 brought against them by the leadership. 02:16:45.540 --> 02:16:50.420 And I'm fearful, Bob, I'm fearful for our historic Adventist people. 02:16:50.620 --> 02:16:56.420 I really don't believe that they or any of us are ready for this tremendous Catholic 02:16:56.420 --> 02:16:58.960 onslaught that is coming to us through our leadership. 02:16:59.500 --> 02:17:00.060 Absolutely. 02:17:00.320 --> 02:17:04.220 You know, Alvin Toffler, the renowned social thinker who wrote the book Power 02:17:04.220 --> 02:17:10.040 Shift, says in that, and I think it's a word of wisdom, we see all these blips of 02:17:10.040 --> 02:17:16.540 information that come by, little scraps of this and pieces of that, and it's too much 02:17:16.540 --> 02:17:17.920 to try to deal with every blip. 02:17:18.280 --> 02:17:22.380 But if we can look at the picture strategically, and that's what we're 02:17:22.380 --> 02:17:25.120 wanting to do here today, what is the strategy? 02:17:25.260 --> 02:17:27.140 What is God's strategy at the end of time? 02:17:27.340 --> 02:17:28.560 What is Babylon's strategy? 02:17:28.940 --> 02:17:33.060 And what we're doing is we're looking at the sources of Babylon to see what their 02:17:33.060 --> 02:17:37.680 strategy is, and if it's in exactly with what God told us the strategy would be. 02:17:38.100 --> 02:17:42.240 And when we can deal with it, and we can cope with it much better when we see the 02:17:42.240 --> 02:17:46.560 whole picture, the strategy, and how all these pieces all fit together, 02:17:46.820 --> 02:17:48.080 and what we're dealing with. 02:17:48.140 --> 02:17:49.520 We are in the last days, John. 02:17:49.520 --> 02:17:52.520 We are in Revelation 12-7 right now. 02:17:53.140 --> 02:17:59.160 Now this top Jesuit, Rayner, in his strategy for the unification of the 02:17:59.160 --> 02:18:04.940 churches, says that actually the only requirement is that these other churches 02:18:04.940 --> 02:18:08.880 not reject out of hand an explicit doctrine of the Catholic Church as being 02:18:08.880 --> 02:18:13.700 irreconcilable with the fundamental substance of their Christianity. 02:18:14.080 --> 02:18:19.140 The development of ecclesiastical consciousness in all the churches has 02:18:19.140 --> 02:18:22.060 progressed to such an extent that this is possible. 02:18:22.060 --> 02:18:27.060 Now that is a statement astoundingly like the statement that Malachi Martin makes 02:18:27.060 --> 02:18:32.760 about how the Jesuits knew when the time had come to strike in Eastern Europe 02:18:32.760 --> 02:18:37.920 because all of these bishops had been prepared to accept their pope. 02:18:38.300 --> 02:18:43.640 And the Seventh-day Adventist people are being prepared for this massive blow of 02:18:43.640 --> 02:18:44.880 Catholicism to bring us into... 02:18:44.880 --> 02:18:46.060 To receive the mark of the beast. 02:18:46.080 --> 02:18:47.300 To receive the mark of the beast. 02:18:47.640 --> 02:18:48.920 Bob, let me just ask you. 02:18:49.100 --> 02:18:51.220 I have several things written down here on this pad. 02:18:51.220 --> 02:18:56.600 I want to talk about the traditions or the techniques of modern warfare. 02:18:56.720 --> 02:19:01.680 And I want to also talk about how New Age and mysticism plays into this complete 02:19:01.680 --> 02:19:07.300 strategy of preparing the Seventh-day Adventist people for receiving the mark of 02:19:07.300 --> 02:19:07.700 the beast. 02:19:08.480 --> 02:19:08.760 Okay. 02:19:08.940 --> 02:19:13.300 John, could we hit that one on NLP chronologically? 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:13.780 Yes. 02:19:13.820 --> 02:19:15.340 I want to go through the rest of the 80s. 02:19:15.400 --> 02:19:16.660 I just want to make sure that we don't miss it. 02:19:16.660 --> 02:19:21.020 If we're dipping a little too much into the Jesuit strategy here, we can get back 02:19:21.020 --> 02:19:23.160 on with the chronological development in the 80s. 02:19:23.180 --> 02:19:24.020 Would you like to do that? 02:19:24.300 --> 02:19:24.740 Maybe, Bob. 02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:25.180 Maybe. 02:19:25.300 --> 02:19:25.500 Okay. 02:19:25.680 --> 02:19:29.720 But maybe what I'm saying here, maybe I just slipped something in on our 02:19:29.720 --> 02:19:31.960 Adventist people watching this that they didn't realize. 02:19:32.320 --> 02:19:32.560 Okay. 02:19:33.080 --> 02:19:39.560 This is all heading towards God's Seventh-day Adventist people receiving the 02:19:39.560 --> 02:19:40.200 mark of the beast. 02:19:40.360 --> 02:19:40.520 Exactly. 02:19:40.640 --> 02:19:43.840 I guess maybe this is the first time we have come right out and said this. 02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:50.740 Folks, this all is a plan for Seventh-day Adventists to receive the mark of the 02:19:50.740 --> 02:19:50.940 beast. 02:19:51.080 --> 02:19:52.180 That's where all this is heading. 02:19:52.500 --> 02:19:56.540 You know, we're laying the foundation here and seeing this whole strategy. 02:19:57.020 --> 02:20:01.520 And the end result is that Seventh-day Adventists receive the mark of the beast. 02:20:01.880 --> 02:20:03.020 That's where all this is heading. 02:20:03.020 --> 02:20:03.480 That's where the devil wants. 02:20:03.540 --> 02:20:04.640 That's where all this is heading. 02:20:05.080 --> 02:20:05.520 Exactly. 02:20:07.140 --> 02:20:13.080 Incidentally, the Jesuit also calls for... he says that the churches now have become 02:20:13.080 --> 02:20:18.300 so liberal in their thinking that they're prepared to slough off most of their 02:20:18.300 --> 02:20:19.020 doctrines. 02:20:19.560 --> 02:20:22.160 And this is one of the most effective things in bringing about unity. 02:20:22.740 --> 02:20:26.320 Boredom, he says, is also a critical element. 02:20:26.480 --> 02:20:30.280 And most people will be bored with most of their doctrines and they'll push them 02:20:30.280 --> 02:20:30.660 aside. 02:20:31.260 --> 02:20:33.540 Now, that gives us a little taste anyway. 02:20:34.080 --> 02:20:37.280 There's loads more that could be said about the Jesuit strategy. 02:20:37.920 --> 02:20:43.620 But in 1985, this book, The Church is Charismatic, came out from the World 02:20:43.620 --> 02:20:44.540 Council of Churches. 02:20:46.120 --> 02:20:51.540 So, the Pentecostal movement, speaking in tongues, is endorsed as the common 02:20:51.540 --> 02:20:53.540 denominator of the World Council of Churches. 02:20:53.880 --> 02:20:54.440 Oh, yes. 02:20:55.080 --> 02:20:57.220 I just want to make sure our people understand that. 02:20:58.100 --> 02:20:59.200 Page 1. 02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:04.160 The Charismatic Renewal can be seen as a Christian variation of a worldwide 02:21:04.160 --> 02:21:05.700 religious revival. 02:21:06.320 --> 02:21:07.280 Page 21. 02:21:07.960 --> 02:21:13.020 The Charismatic Renewal has the potential to extend the contemporary ecumenical 02:21:13.020 --> 02:21:17.980 movement to communities within Christendom which so far have kept aloof from the 02:21:17.980 --> 02:21:18.980 development of ecumenism. 02:21:19.020 --> 02:21:20.980 Now, this is 1985 when this comes out. 02:21:21.820 --> 02:21:27.080 They come right out in public and they say that now the Charismatic Renewal has the 02:21:27.080 --> 02:21:30.680 potential for penetrating churches that the ecumenical movement has not yet been 02:21:30.680 --> 02:21:31.300 able to penetrate. 02:21:31.640 --> 02:21:36.120 You see, when the Jesuits move in on a church, they have this whole hierarchical 02:21:36.120 --> 02:21:39.120 approach of working from the top down. 02:21:39.120 --> 02:21:45.260 But it is also necessary, according to Rayner, to gain for each church entity, 02:21:45.700 --> 02:21:51.160 each leadership of each church, to gain a majority of its members to be in 02:21:51.160 --> 02:21:52.820 support of the drive for unity. 02:21:53.040 --> 02:21:57.120 You just said something I want to go back to and I want to make sure that our 02:21:57.120 --> 02:22:03.200 Adventist people understand this, that the Jesuit plan of attack and the 02:22:03.200 --> 02:22:10.800 method for infiltrating any denomination is to start at the top and come down. 02:22:11.160 --> 02:22:16.660 Not start with the laity and come up, but to infiltrate the leadership and then 02:22:16.660 --> 02:22:17.880 to let it trickle down. 02:22:17.980 --> 02:22:21.960 That is very important because that is exactly what we see happening in the 02:22:21.960 --> 02:22:22.720 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 02:22:22.820 --> 02:22:25.700 Would you like a case in point? 02:22:25.700 --> 02:22:28.700 If you just happen to have one, I'd love to hear it. 02:22:28.960 --> 02:22:30.460 I have another book here. 02:22:32.820 --> 02:22:35.480 Now listen, do I need to start getting some of these books off, Bob? 02:22:35.580 --> 02:22:37.020 You need some more room? 02:22:37.120 --> 02:22:40.000 Some of them I'm still, unless you think there's going to be too many here. 02:22:40.000 --> 02:22:42.340 As you're bringing books over, I'll just start loading them off on the 02:22:42.340 --> 02:22:42.820 floor here. 02:22:42.920 --> 02:22:44.380 So you just keep bringing those books over. 02:22:44.540 --> 02:22:45.480 This is by B.G. 02:22:45.960 --> 02:22:46.360 Wilkinson. 02:22:46.520 --> 02:22:49.180 Used to be president of the Washington Missionary. 02:22:49.400 --> 02:22:51.060 Amen, a historic Adventist. 02:22:51.060 --> 02:22:52.840 And he uncovered a Jesuit. 02:22:53.040 --> 02:22:55.260 Most historic Adventists know the story. 02:22:56.200 --> 02:23:01.420 And incidentally, it's been just reconfirmed by the man who was at that 02:23:01.420 --> 02:23:04.060 time academic dean of Washington Missionary College. 02:23:04.080 --> 02:23:07.120 When he was president of Washington Missionary College, what was this, 02:23:07.120 --> 02:23:07.840 in the 40s? 02:23:08.600 --> 02:23:09.980 Yeah, 30s and 40s. 02:23:09.980 --> 02:23:14.160 So he uncovered a Jesuit on staff, a professor on staff then. 02:23:14.240 --> 02:23:14.760 That's right. 02:23:14.860 --> 02:23:15.640 Bless his heart. 02:23:16.360 --> 02:23:22.960 And in the early 40s, a friend of my mother told me on the telephone of her 02:23:22.960 --> 02:23:23.620 experience. 02:23:24.580 --> 02:23:26.880 She and her husband lived in the married student housing. 02:23:27.880 --> 02:23:32.960 And incidentally, we have a tape called The Witnesses where she tells this story. 02:23:33.620 --> 02:23:38.680 Gallimberti, a Roman Catholic priest, was baptized into our church, professed 02:23:38.680 --> 02:23:41.600 conversion, got into the theological studies. 02:23:41.600 --> 02:23:45.480 But every night he had to, at 9 o'clock, report on the telephone. 02:23:46.200 --> 02:23:50.260 And her husband understood Spanish and understood what he was saying. 02:23:50.500 --> 02:23:52.080 Ultimately, he was uncovered. 02:23:53.000 --> 02:23:55.240 There's a whole string of them that we could tell about. 02:23:55.400 --> 02:24:00.480 We have had some experiences right here in this ministry of Roman Catholics that 02:24:00.480 --> 02:24:04.500 converted to Adventism in their adult life. 02:24:04.500 --> 02:24:09.140 And I will be very honest with you, it will be a long time before I put a 02:24:09.140 --> 02:24:13.160 converted Roman Catholic that has been born and raised in the Catholic system and 02:24:13.160 --> 02:24:16.040 educated in the Catholic system and converted to Adventism in their adult 02:24:16.040 --> 02:24:16.400 life. 02:24:16.600 --> 02:24:20.920 It will be a long time before I put them into a leadership position in this church 02:24:20.920 --> 02:24:21.760 and ministry again. 02:24:22.240 --> 02:24:22.920 Listen to this. 02:24:22.980 --> 02:24:28.260 This is from Dr. De Sanctis, who for many years was a priest at Rome, professor of 02:24:28.260 --> 02:24:33.360 theology, official theological censor of the Inquisition, and who later became a 02:24:33.360 --> 02:24:33.760 Protestant. 02:24:33.760 --> 02:24:37.780 He tells of his interview with the secretary of the French Father Assistant 02:24:37.780 --> 02:24:38.940 of the Jesuit Order. 02:24:39.540 --> 02:24:40.340 Here's what he said. 02:24:40.720 --> 02:24:43.860 They were having trouble infiltrating the English church. 02:24:44.060 --> 02:24:48.340 Quote, the English clergy were formally too much attached to their articles of 02:24:48.340 --> 02:24:49.620 faith to be shaken from them. 02:24:50.920 --> 02:24:55.380 And he said you might have employed in vain all the machines set in motion by 02:24:55.380 --> 02:24:59.640 Boussuet and the Jansenists of France to reunite them to the Romish church. 02:25:00.000 --> 02:25:02.780 And so the Jesuits of England tried another plan. 02:25:02.780 --> 02:25:08.380 This was to demonstrate from history and ecclesiastical antiquity the legitimacy of 02:25:08.380 --> 02:25:10.200 the usages of the English church. 02:25:10.700 --> 02:25:15.260 Whence through the exertions of the Jesuits concealed among its clergy might 02:25:15.260 --> 02:25:18.240 arise a studious attention to Christian antiquity. 02:25:18.600 --> 02:25:20.640 Jesuits concealed among its clergy. 02:25:21.160 --> 02:25:27.000 Tell me something, Bob, do you believe that there would be any attempt for the 02:25:27.000 --> 02:25:29.580 Jesuits to infiltrate the independent ministries? 02:25:31.020 --> 02:25:32.820 Would that sound logical to you, Bob? 02:25:32.820 --> 02:25:34.580 It would be the most logical thing in the world. 02:25:35.400 --> 02:25:40.720 It would be the most logical thing because what they want to do is to silence any 02:25:40.720 --> 02:25:42.060 voice raised against Rome. 02:25:42.640 --> 02:25:47.500 In fact, the Catholic Campaign for America, which was just launched a few 02:25:47.500 --> 02:25:52.800 weeks ago, had as one of its primary objectives to silence anyone speaking out 02:25:52.800 --> 02:25:53.600 against Rome. 02:25:55.500 --> 02:26:01.880 So, back to this church's charismatic document here. 02:26:02.700 --> 02:26:07.360 In 1985, the World Council of Churches says now we can use the charismatic 02:26:07.360 --> 02:26:11.740 movement to penetrate churches that have not yet succumbed to ecumenism. 02:26:12.060 --> 02:26:13.840 Next page, page 22. 02:26:14.480 --> 02:26:17.500 We venture to express two hopes for the emerging dialogue. 02:26:17.760 --> 02:26:22.440 Firstly, and this is the critical one, we hope and pray that the charismatic 02:26:22.440 --> 02:26:28.620 renewal will not be too hastily classified, labeled, and thus isolated. 02:26:28.940 --> 02:26:32.480 John, when this whole thing was getting started of the celebration movement with 02:26:32.480 --> 02:26:36.680 its Pentecostal dimensions in our church, do you remember what the leadership said? 02:26:37.240 --> 02:26:38.260 Let's wait and see. 02:26:38.440 --> 02:26:39.360 Oh, that's what they're still saying. 02:26:39.360 --> 02:26:40.420 Let's not classify it. 02:26:40.420 --> 02:26:41.500 Let's not classify it too soon. 02:26:41.500 --> 02:26:43.640 This has been their pat cliché from the very beginning. 02:26:43.740 --> 02:26:44.500 Let's just wait and see. 02:26:44.640 --> 02:26:45.180 Wait and see. 02:26:45.300 --> 02:26:46.200 It fits exactly. 02:26:46.200 --> 02:26:49.020 If it's of God, it'll prosper. 02:26:49.240 --> 02:26:51.240 But if it's not, well, we don't have to worry about it. 02:26:51.500 --> 02:26:52.420 God will take care of it. 02:26:52.620 --> 02:26:54.080 Let's just wait and see. 02:26:54.360 --> 02:26:57.500 And this has been what every one of our church leadership has said about the 02:26:57.500 --> 02:26:58.280 celebration movement. 02:26:58.420 --> 02:26:59.660 Let's just wait and see. 02:26:59.840 --> 02:27:02.200 Does that have anything to do with the strategy plan of Catholicism? 02:27:02.900 --> 02:27:03.460 Well, that's it. 02:27:03.680 --> 02:27:06.700 It's like those statements were right out of the script here. 02:27:06.860 --> 02:27:11.040 It's exactly what the World Council of Churches said should not be done. 02:27:11.140 --> 02:27:12.800 Let's not classify it too closely. 02:27:12.820 --> 02:27:13.060 Wait and see. 02:27:13.360 --> 02:27:14.560 Let's not isolate it. 02:27:14.880 --> 02:27:15.820 Let's not label it. 02:27:15.820 --> 02:27:17.560 Now, next page. 02:27:18.680 --> 02:27:23.560 Divisions are not His, that is the Holy Spirit's doing, but due to human sin. 02:27:24.840 --> 02:27:25.960 What did Christ say? 02:27:26.100 --> 02:27:28.000 I came not to bring peace, but a sword. 02:27:28.300 --> 02:27:31.920 A man shall be divided against the members of his own household. 02:27:32.840 --> 02:27:38.920 Well, at any rate, that tells us a little bit in the mid-80s what was brewing behind 02:27:38.920 --> 02:27:39.260 the scenes. 02:27:39.340 --> 02:27:42.500 We didn't yet have the full impact of celebration at that time. 02:27:42.500 --> 02:27:48.020 But it was the plans that were developing in the ecumenical movement. 02:27:48.440 --> 02:27:52.260 I want to make sure that our people understand what you're endeavoring to do 02:27:52.260 --> 02:27:52.420 here. 02:27:52.460 --> 02:27:55.740 From what I can see, it started in the 70s or 60s? 02:27:55.740 --> 02:27:56.200 It started in the 60s. 02:27:56.400 --> 02:27:56.920 60s? 02:27:57.320 --> 02:27:57.840 50s? 02:27:58.120 --> 02:28:04.020 The theological base of the New Theology is Roman Catholicism, original sin, 02:28:04.740 --> 02:28:06.120 and the pre-fall nature of Christ. 02:28:06.180 --> 02:28:07.280 That's Roman Catholic doctrine. 02:28:07.360 --> 02:28:08.420 Okay, if you... 02:28:08.420 --> 02:28:10.360 Salvation in sin is Roman Catholic doctrine. 02:28:10.360 --> 02:28:13.440 First we said 70s, then 60s, then 50s. 02:28:14.220 --> 02:28:21.840 40s, 1946 is when the nature of Christ was taken out of Bible readings for the home 02:28:21.840 --> 02:28:22.260 circle. 02:28:22.420 --> 02:28:26.960 When that disappeared about Him coming in our fallen nature, the 1946 edition of 02:28:26.960 --> 02:28:28.420 Bible readings for the home circle. 02:28:28.700 --> 02:28:31.780 Then the Barnhouse and Martin Eternity magazine thing in the 50s. 02:28:32.140 --> 02:28:33.660 And questions on doctrines. 02:28:34.360 --> 02:28:37.560 So the church has been shifted over to a New Theological base? 02:28:37.560 --> 02:28:43.960 But we can go back to the 30s and the 20s where we first adopted accreditation for 02:28:43.960 --> 02:28:44.680 our colleges. 02:28:45.280 --> 02:28:46.980 You know, so how... we can just keep going back. 02:28:47.300 --> 02:28:50.440 1909, a Jesuit professor was kicked out of Mount Vernon College. 02:28:50.460 --> 02:28:52.220 You know, we can just keep going back. 02:28:52.660 --> 02:28:54.360 But let's go forward now. 02:28:54.600 --> 02:28:56.920 You have got us up to now the 1980s. 02:28:56.920 --> 02:28:57.560 Mid-1980s. 02:28:58.260 --> 02:28:58.400 Okay. 02:28:58.580 --> 02:28:58.980 1985. 02:28:58.980 --> 02:29:03.460 At the November 1985 meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, 02:29:03.840 --> 02:29:08.980 Dr. Vincent Sinan outlined the coordination of Pentecostals with their 02:29:08.980 --> 02:29:10.400 Roman Catholic counterparts. 02:29:11.000 --> 02:29:14.840 At the meeting, the Roman Catholic priest Peter Hawken was named president of the 02:29:14.840 --> 02:29:16.840 Society for Pentecostal Studies. 02:29:17.080 --> 02:29:21.700 So now they are laying a battle plan, a blueprint, coordination. 02:29:21.700 --> 02:29:26.480 That's all documented in this book, The Pied Piper of the Pentecostal 02:29:26.480 --> 02:29:29.820 Movement, The Spiritual Power of the New World Order. 02:29:29.920 --> 02:29:30.600 Who printed that? 02:29:31.060 --> 02:29:35.020 This is a Bible Baptist minister who printed this. 02:29:35.700 --> 02:29:39.140 You see, people from the outside, people outside the Seventh-day Adventist 02:29:39.140 --> 02:29:42.000 Church realize what is going on. 02:29:42.080 --> 02:29:46.580 This is why in my very first celebration video, and I showed articles from 02:29:46.580 --> 02:29:56.540 Christianity Today, and these quotes from The Salvation Army Magazine, and these 02:29:56.540 --> 02:30:00.140 other Christian churches that are seeing what's going on in the Adventist Church, 02:30:00.260 --> 02:30:02.740 and The Pied Piper, that's exactly what's going on. 02:30:03.340 --> 02:30:08.320 Our people are just following our leadership, having no idea what is going 02:30:08.320 --> 02:30:08.680 on. 02:30:09.220 --> 02:30:12.780 And Christians in these other churches outside of the Seventh-day Adventist 02:30:12.780 --> 02:30:17.200 Church are looking and saying, look what's going on in Adventism, 02:30:17.200 --> 02:30:20.200 and our people, it's The Pied Piper following our leadership. 02:30:20.400 --> 02:30:21.360 We have no idea. 02:30:21.680 --> 02:30:27.100 And when I show our Adventist people what other churches realize, and what we are so 02:30:27.100 --> 02:30:31.400 blind to because of our blind faith and trust in our leadership, our people are 02:30:31.400 --> 02:30:35.280 just amazed and shocked that all this stuff has been going on, and we never knew 02:30:35.280 --> 02:30:35.840 about it. 02:30:36.840 --> 02:30:43.060 1986, John, the Shepherding Cell Group movement moves into the mainstream of the 02:30:43.060 --> 02:30:43.860 charismatic movement. 02:30:43.960 --> 02:30:49.220 Now, in the mid-1970s, Pat Robertson condemned the Shepherding Cell Group 02:30:49.220 --> 02:30:49.560 movement. 02:30:49.920 --> 02:30:55.120 Incidentally, let me get another book here, John, because the roots of this are 02:30:55.120 --> 02:30:55.640 very... 02:30:55.640 --> 02:30:57.120 I'm going to start taking some of these off. 02:30:57.140 --> 02:30:57.860 Very significant. 02:30:58.120 --> 02:31:00.920 Don't take any that are... yeah, take the ones that we've already dealt 02:31:00.920 --> 02:31:01.060 with. 02:31:01.060 --> 02:31:03.020 They'll be on the floor if you need them, Bob. 02:31:03.020 --> 02:31:06.220 You've got to have some room here before they all start falling off and we have a 02:31:06.220 --> 02:31:08.540 big, mighty crash here. 02:31:08.920 --> 02:31:10.700 They'll all be here if you need them. 02:31:10.880 --> 02:31:12.660 Where did the Cell Group come from? 02:31:13.200 --> 02:31:18.720 Now, this is one of the definitive work on brainwashing by Robert J. 02:31:19.240 --> 02:31:24.400 Lifton, prominent scholar, Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism, 02:31:24.460 --> 02:31:26.140 a study of brainwashing in China. 02:31:26.260 --> 02:31:27.160 Now, what is totalism? 02:31:28.480 --> 02:31:28.960 Totalitarianism. 02:31:29.020 --> 02:31:29.340 I see. 02:31:29.580 --> 02:31:31.800 So, where you totally take control. 02:31:31.800 --> 02:31:34.580 Yes, like communism, you see. 02:31:35.200 --> 02:31:41.040 And in this book, he talks of how Cell Groups were used in the Communist Chinese 02:31:41.040 --> 02:31:48.660 Revolution and how the Cell Groups were so effective in dealing with the Westerners 02:31:48.660 --> 02:31:49.700 that they captured. 02:31:50.040 --> 02:31:51.640 From Cell to Celebration. 02:31:51.780 --> 02:31:52.960 Does this tie in with that? 02:31:52.960 --> 02:31:55.280 Well, let me give you a little history of the Cell Group, John. 02:31:55.400 --> 02:31:56.900 Absolutely it ties in. 02:31:56.900 --> 02:32:04.080 Now, it was very effective, you see, in changing the thinking of dissidents, 02:32:04.720 --> 02:32:06.080 Cell Groups. 02:32:06.080 --> 02:32:10.400 I want to make sure you just don't slip through this stuff. 02:32:11.220 --> 02:32:14.160 Changing the thinking of dissidents. 02:32:14.280 --> 02:32:14.740 Absolutely. 02:32:14.880 --> 02:32:20.340 That is exactly what our periodicals are trying to do today. 02:32:20.800 --> 02:32:23.960 This is exactly what the Perth Declaration is doing. 02:32:24.220 --> 02:32:26.100 This is exactly what our leadership is trying to do. 02:32:26.100 --> 02:32:30.420 Propaganda warfare against the historic Adventists in the Seventh Adventist 02:32:30.420 --> 02:32:30.640 Church. 02:32:31.040 --> 02:32:34.920 Trying to twist, get them around to their way of thinking. 02:32:35.040 --> 02:32:36.740 That's the whole purpose of NLP. 02:32:37.280 --> 02:32:39.760 That is the reason that the Seventh Adventist Church, more than any other 02:32:39.760 --> 02:32:43.920 denomination on Earth, has embraced neuro-linguistic programming. 02:32:44.240 --> 02:32:48.300 It's because there are all these, quote, dissidents in the Seventh Adventist 02:32:48.300 --> 02:32:53.640 Church and the leadership has to somehow deal with them and get them over to their 02:32:53.640 --> 02:32:54.480 way of thinking. 02:32:54.480 --> 02:32:56.000 So how do you do that? 02:32:56.460 --> 02:32:57.320 You look at history. 02:32:57.340 --> 02:32:58.960 In NLP, you hypnotize them. 02:32:59.020 --> 02:33:00.720 Not only that, but the small group. 02:33:00.960 --> 02:33:01.840 The cell group. 02:33:02.040 --> 02:33:02.380 Absolutely. 02:33:02.880 --> 02:33:08.880 And it ties right in with the hypnotic process of changing a whole set group of 02:33:08.880 --> 02:33:09.720 people's thinking. 02:33:10.100 --> 02:33:13.920 This is considered to be one of the most profound books on this subject. 02:33:14.500 --> 02:33:20.700 And there are case examples in here of how cell groups were used in brainwashing. 02:33:20.700 --> 02:33:24.520 Now, what's interesting, John, is that the shepherding cell group 02:33:24.520 --> 02:33:27.540 movement was adopted by Paul Yonggi Cho. 02:33:27.680 --> 02:33:29.400 Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho, incidentally. 02:33:29.520 --> 02:33:31.800 Is he the pastor of the largest church in the world? 02:33:32.000 --> 02:33:32.380 Largest church. 02:33:32.800 --> 02:33:33.840 50,000. 02:33:34.000 --> 02:33:34.720 South Korea. 02:33:36.500 --> 02:33:37.380 500,000. 02:33:39.600 --> 02:33:40.380 Half a million. 02:33:41.500 --> 02:33:42.920 I thought it was 50,000. 02:33:42.940 --> 02:33:43.720 Half a million. 02:33:44.340 --> 02:33:45.440 He's got a church of 500,000. 02:33:45.440 --> 02:33:47.020 A few years ago it was a quarter of a million. 02:33:47.960 --> 02:33:51.140 That's why, don't you want a 500,000 member church, John? 02:33:51.900 --> 02:33:53.580 I don't know how they'd all fit in here. 02:33:54.600 --> 02:33:55.900 We're packed now. 02:33:56.360 --> 02:34:00.380 Look here, the third item in the bibliography. 02:34:00.960 --> 02:34:04.180 Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho, successful home cell groups. 02:34:04.540 --> 02:34:11.160 So, over in South Korea, he adopted the cell group concept and built his church up 02:34:11.160 --> 02:34:12.700 from 600 to half a million. 02:34:13.560 --> 02:34:17.740 And it, of course, captured the attention of the charismatic churches around the 02:34:17.740 --> 02:34:18.080 world. 02:34:18.880 --> 02:34:22.760 He is one of the most prominent speakers and promoters of this. 02:34:22.840 --> 02:34:26.760 Now, when this movement came into America, it had many abuses. 02:34:27.060 --> 02:34:32.920 It was a very totalitarian type of dynamic operating in these small groups. 02:34:33.000 --> 02:34:34.560 They'd have a leader, an assistant leader. 02:34:34.660 --> 02:34:38.100 They were requiring people to produce their checkbooks to show where they were 02:34:38.100 --> 02:34:39.100 paying their tithe. 02:34:39.260 --> 02:34:40.540 I've heard of that! 02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:43.820 This is exactly what we see going on. 02:34:44.040 --> 02:34:50.060 When I go speaking, John, I had a group from a church come up to me and they said, 02:34:50.720 --> 02:34:52.360 We have a celebration church. 02:34:52.740 --> 02:34:54.840 We have cell groups in our church. 02:34:55.000 --> 02:34:59.720 And in our cell groups, every person is to expose what's in their inner heart. 02:35:00.140 --> 02:35:05.440 We are each one to write that down and turn in the report to the pastor. 02:35:05.440 --> 02:35:10.800 You see, NLP and small cell groups are being used also as the Adventist 02:35:10.800 --> 02:35:11.440 confessional. 02:35:12.220 --> 02:35:13.620 I had a woman call me up. 02:35:13.660 --> 02:35:14.980 She said, I just had a divorce. 02:35:15.360 --> 02:35:16.920 My husband married another woman. 02:35:17.180 --> 02:35:18.900 The pastor took me in for counseling. 02:35:19.020 --> 02:35:20.120 He's had the labs. 02:35:21.120 --> 02:35:26.340 And I told him all kinds of things that I felt I shouldn't have afterward. 02:35:26.420 --> 02:35:28.480 He asked me to even write this stuff out. 02:35:28.640 --> 02:35:29.460 I wrote it out. 02:35:29.520 --> 02:35:30.220 I turned it in to him. 02:35:30.300 --> 02:35:31.080 I was apprehensive. 02:35:31.180 --> 02:35:31.900 I asked for it back. 02:35:31.960 --> 02:35:33.660 He said he had thrown it away. 02:35:36.140 --> 02:35:41.800 There's case after case of this that is coming to our attention. 02:35:42.100 --> 02:35:45.380 And in the Roman Catholic Church, on Saturday afternoons now, they have 02:35:45.380 --> 02:35:46.980 reconciliation services. 02:35:47.600 --> 02:35:51.640 If a person doesn't like the old style confessional, they can go to 02:35:51.640 --> 02:35:52.880 reconciliation services. 02:35:53.040 --> 02:35:56.680 They all sit in a circle, like a sensitivity group or a small group, 02:35:56.880 --> 02:35:58.980 and everyone confesses to everyone else. 02:35:58.980 --> 02:36:03.960 This reminds me of what so many of our Seventh-day Adventist churches have now. 02:36:04.420 --> 02:36:08.880 They have a traditional service, and they also have a celebration service. 02:36:10.640 --> 02:36:13.860 Whatever way you like it, that's the way they have it. 02:36:13.980 --> 02:36:18.340 They have two services, a traditional service for the traditionalist, 02:36:18.360 --> 02:36:20.980 and a celebration service for the celebrationist. 02:36:21.460 --> 02:36:23.600 And you can have it any way that you like it. 02:36:23.660 --> 02:36:26.900 And one of the concepts, of course, in the celebration is everything that 02:36:26.900 --> 02:36:27.780 we've studied thus far. 02:36:27.780 --> 02:36:31.240 But is this thing that takes the place of the Catholic confessional? 02:36:31.480 --> 02:36:31.740 Yes. 02:36:31.940 --> 02:36:33.500 Oh, and why the confessional? 02:36:34.060 --> 02:36:38.180 That is the most powerful information-gathering tool the Roman 02:36:38.180 --> 02:36:39.760 Catholic Church has had for centuries. 02:36:39.880 --> 02:36:41.820 Why do we want an ambassador at the Vatican? 02:36:42.080 --> 02:36:46.000 Because they have the best intelligence-gathering network in the 02:36:46.000 --> 02:36:46.340 world. 02:36:46.980 --> 02:36:52.440 And the confessional, historically, has been used to gain information and thus 02:36:52.440 --> 02:36:55.580 control over nations, over individuals. 02:36:55.580 --> 02:36:58.680 You find out what's going on in their inner heart. 02:36:59.120 --> 02:37:03.180 But, you see, because of these abuses, Pat Robertson spoke out against it in the 02:37:03.180 --> 02:37:03.900 early days. 02:37:04.360 --> 02:37:12.180 But then, by the mid-1980s, 1986, suddenly Pat Robertson welcomes them with 02:37:12.180 --> 02:37:13.020 open arms. 02:37:13.420 --> 02:37:19.280 They all make up, and the cell group movement moves into center stage in the 02:37:19.280 --> 02:37:20.860 charismatic movement. 02:37:20.860 --> 02:37:26.200 And it forms the basic unit and tool in the promulgation of celebration churches. 02:37:26.540 --> 02:37:31.680 Now, new theology pastors have been using this for years in America. 02:37:32.240 --> 02:37:34.640 I can think of one right now that came over from Australia. 02:37:35.400 --> 02:37:38.520 And cell group was the basis of his celebration church. 02:37:38.900 --> 02:37:44.840 The Coalition on Revival, COR, which is pushing for a totalitarian 02:37:44.840 --> 02:37:45.840 Christian America. 02:37:45.840 --> 02:37:50.660 That's a fundamentalist, charismatic movement that crosses all kinds of 02:37:50.660 --> 02:37:51.040 boundaries. 02:37:51.160 --> 02:37:55.200 It's a powerful behind-the-scenes element in politics. 02:37:55.820 --> 02:38:01.040 It is pushing for a Christian America in which every person's conscience will be 02:38:01.040 --> 02:38:02.520 subject to the person above them. 02:38:03.000 --> 02:38:08.360 They call for all pastors to restructure their congregations into home cell groups. 02:38:08.580 --> 02:38:09.400 Home cell groups. 02:38:09.720 --> 02:38:11.760 Have you heard that term any place? 02:38:11.820 --> 02:38:14.500 It's a revolutionary technique, John. 02:38:14.500 --> 02:38:16.320 It's a revolutionary technique. 02:38:16.760 --> 02:38:20.660 In fact, the Reconstructionists, who are high in the levels of the 02:38:20.660 --> 02:38:26.900 Coalition on Revival, say that Gary North, who is the second in command in 02:38:26.900 --> 02:38:32.360 Reconstructionism, says that Rush Dooney, who is the top man, is the Marx and I'm 02:38:32.360 --> 02:38:34.260 trying to be the Engels of this movement. 02:38:34.580 --> 02:38:35.960 They're obvious revolutionaries. 02:38:35.960 --> 02:38:40.900 I just think that this home cell group concept that is advertised by the Oregon 02:38:40.900 --> 02:38:45.200 Conference and all of our periodicals, and they're now going around all over the 02:38:45.200 --> 02:38:49.040 country promoting this and teaching it to all the pastors and to all the 02:38:49.040 --> 02:38:53.480 conferences, is just a wonderful new method of evangelism for the Seventh-day 02:38:53.480 --> 02:38:54.140 Adventist Church. 02:38:54.300 --> 02:38:59.100 And it came not only out of Catholicism, but has come out of strategies for 02:38:59.100 --> 02:39:02.400 thousands of years to brainwash people. 02:39:02.400 --> 02:39:05.660 Communist Chinese movement, basis in modern times. 02:39:06.240 --> 02:39:11.980 And now we come down also in 1986, Wilson Ewen, the author of this book, 02:39:12.060 --> 02:39:17.520 he's a pastor, he warns, The developing story of ecumenical unity continues at a 02:39:17.520 --> 02:39:23.020 staggering pace, and when the Vatican's dream of a corporate and global religious 02:39:23.020 --> 02:39:28.200 complex with the Pope as head is shortly realized, Pentecostalism will stand 02:39:28.200 --> 02:39:33.420 accused before a holy God of being the chief instrument in having brought this to 02:39:33.420 --> 02:39:33.820 pass. 02:39:34.660 --> 02:39:40.560 Pentecostalism is the thread that runs through all of this endeavoring of the 02:39:40.560 --> 02:39:41.720 Roman Catholic to bring the churches back... 02:39:41.720 --> 02:39:44.060 It's the chief tool to bring all the churches... 02:39:44.060 --> 02:39:44.160 It's the chief tool... 02:39:44.160 --> 02:39:45.800 And to create the New World Order. 02:39:45.920 --> 02:39:48.220 It's the spiritual power of the New World Order. 02:39:48.220 --> 02:39:51.580 One of the two things that we are seeing being manifested recently in the 02:39:51.580 --> 02:39:55.380 Seventh-day Adventist Church, just in the last several years, Pentecostalism and 02:39:55.380 --> 02:39:56.300 Catholicism. 02:39:56.660 --> 02:40:00.520 Everywhere we turn in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, we are seeing either 02:40:00.520 --> 02:40:03.280 Catholicism or Pentecostalism. 02:40:03.420 --> 02:40:07.100 You know, through the music, through the artwork, through our periodicals, 02:40:07.300 --> 02:40:10.460 through the stuff coming from our church, the two main thrusts. 02:40:10.460 --> 02:40:12.620 Those are the two things that have joined hands. 02:40:12.980 --> 02:40:16.400 It's Catholicism and Pentecostalism. 02:40:16.580 --> 02:40:17.520 And apostate Protestantism. 02:40:17.540 --> 02:40:18.540 And apostate Protestantism. 02:40:19.000 --> 02:40:21.540 Which is the three unclean spirits like Saul. 02:40:21.800 --> 02:40:21.940 That's right. 02:40:22.060 --> 02:40:23.800 I mean, it's prophecy before our eyes. 02:40:23.960 --> 02:40:24.020 That's right. 02:40:24.120 --> 02:40:25.800 Why are our people so blind? 02:40:25.920 --> 02:40:27.740 Why can't we see this stuff, Bob? 02:40:28.400 --> 02:40:31.600 Well, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, John. 02:40:31.940 --> 02:40:34.440 It's so clear, as I'm sitting here talking to you. 02:40:34.700 --> 02:40:38.160 It's so clear what's going on in our church. 02:40:38.240 --> 02:40:38.460 That's right. 02:40:38.460 --> 02:40:40.540 This is an orchestrated attempt. 02:40:40.840 --> 02:40:47.240 Now, I am not and neither are you saying that all of our leadership understand 02:40:47.240 --> 02:40:48.520 what's going on. 02:40:48.880 --> 02:40:53.760 But it only takes even one person in a movement to channel them all in that 02:40:53.760 --> 02:40:54.060 direction. 02:40:54.060 --> 02:40:54.300 That's right. 02:40:54.480 --> 02:41:01.580 But they are being guided by a strategy, by a script that many of them don't even 02:41:01.580 --> 02:41:02.820 know that they're following. 02:41:02.820 --> 02:41:10.560 But you see, on the basis of submission to one superior and to the church as being 02:41:10.560 --> 02:41:13.740 the final authority, they fit right into the plan. 02:41:14.240 --> 02:41:15.060 Right into the plan. 02:41:15.340 --> 02:41:17.700 You see, all you have to do is bring in this concept. 02:41:17.800 --> 02:41:21.240 And incidentally, John, this is a Jesuit concept. 02:41:21.360 --> 02:41:22.160 Let me get a book for you. 02:41:22.840 --> 02:41:24.660 You just keep bringing the books over, though. 02:41:24.720 --> 02:41:27.160 You just keep bringing us through time. 02:41:27.260 --> 02:41:28.600 Now, we're in the late 80s now? 02:41:29.300 --> 02:41:29.700 1986. 02:41:30.680 --> 02:41:31.580 Okay, the strategy. 02:41:31.580 --> 02:41:35.840 In the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, John, we have a section 02:41:35.840 --> 02:41:38.400 entitled, The Rules for Thinking with the Church. 02:41:39.860 --> 02:41:41.440 And here is what we read. 02:41:41.700 --> 02:41:46.260 In order to have the proper attitude of mind in the church militant, we should 02:41:46.260 --> 02:41:47.620 observe the following rules. 02:41:47.620 --> 02:41:53.780 Putting aside all private judgment, we should keep our minds prepared and 02:41:53.780 --> 02:41:58.840 ready to obey promptly and in all things the true spouse of Christ our Lord, 02:41:59.220 --> 02:42:01.600 our Holy Mother, the Hierarchical Church. 02:42:01.620 --> 02:42:07.680 Is that part of the Jesuit oath that you are totally dead and you just do whatever 02:42:07.680 --> 02:42:10.680 you are told to do by the church? 02:42:12.820 --> 02:42:13.340 Exactly. 02:42:13.340 --> 02:42:18.540 It's not only part of the Jesuit oath, but it is involved in the training of the 02:42:18.540 --> 02:42:19.460 Spiritual Exercises. 02:42:19.540 --> 02:42:20.260 That's what this is. 02:42:20.560 --> 02:42:25.560 This is the manual which the initiates into the Jesuit order go through for four 02:42:25.560 --> 02:42:26.880 weeks, for 30 days. 02:42:27.460 --> 02:42:30.420 They are led through these Spiritual Exercises, which now have been introduced 02:42:30.420 --> 02:42:34.180 into our ministry and are being used in our churches now. 02:42:34.180 --> 02:42:41.140 For the purpose of creating a mentality of what is called by them, Cadaver Obedience. 02:42:41.180 --> 02:42:42.100 Cadaver Obedience. 02:42:42.180 --> 02:42:43.620 That's part of the Jesuit oath. 02:42:43.820 --> 02:42:44.260 That's it. 02:42:45.020 --> 02:42:46.240 Now here is number 13. 02:42:46.500 --> 02:42:51.920 If we wish to be sure that we are right in all things, we should always be ready to 02:42:51.920 --> 02:42:53.100 accept this principle. 02:42:53.700 --> 02:42:58.620 I will believe that the white that I see is black, if the Hierarchical Church so 02:42:58.620 --> 02:42:59.380 defines it. 02:42:59.380 --> 02:43:04.720 For I believe that between the Bridegroom Christ our Lord and the Bride, 02:43:04.800 --> 02:43:09.140 His Church, there is but one Spirit which governs and directs us for the salvation 02:43:09.140 --> 02:43:10.040 of our souls. 02:43:10.440 --> 02:43:14.380 For the same Spirit and Lord who gave us the Ten Commandments guides and governs 02:43:14.380 --> 02:43:15.820 our Holy Mother Church. 02:43:15.940 --> 02:43:20.720 So you see, there is the concept of automatic identity between Christ and the 02:43:20.720 --> 02:43:21.040 Church. 02:43:21.480 --> 02:43:26.100 Therefore, you have to be prepared to believe that the white that you see is 02:43:26.100 --> 02:43:28.760 black, if the Church says that white is black. 02:43:28.760 --> 02:43:30.060 The Church is going through. 02:43:30.400 --> 02:43:32.340 She is the object of God's supreme regard. 02:43:32.960 --> 02:43:35.240 And the Conference is the Church. 02:43:35.680 --> 02:43:37.120 Therefore, stay with the Conference. 02:43:37.520 --> 02:43:39.760 Do what we say and you will be saved. 02:43:40.020 --> 02:43:45.080 It's this cadaver mentality that our Adventist people have that the Conference 02:43:45.080 --> 02:43:46.080 is the Church. 02:43:46.340 --> 02:43:48.740 Therefore, you stay with the Conference and you are going to Heaven. 02:43:48.740 --> 02:43:49.920 God help us. 02:43:49.980 --> 02:43:56.220 It's right out of the Jesuit plan of giving total mind control, total 02:43:56.220 --> 02:44:00.960 totalitarianism to the Church. 02:44:01.520 --> 02:44:01.800 That's right. 02:44:02.220 --> 02:44:06.280 And the spiritual exercises are used to accomplish that purpose. 02:44:06.600 --> 02:44:08.180 I believe that's probably why we're... 02:44:08.180 --> 02:44:10.740 It's the brainwashing of the Adventist people. 02:44:11.080 --> 02:44:11.420 That's right. 02:44:12.080 --> 02:44:17.360 In fact, not only the Adventist people, but historically Heinrich Himmler used the 02:44:17.360 --> 02:44:20.960 spiritual exercises to form the Nazi SS. 02:44:21.200 --> 02:44:22.100 One million men. 02:44:22.620 --> 02:44:26.140 He had a special work for them to do and part of it was running death camps. 02:44:27.200 --> 02:44:34.000 You gave a whole issue, or maybe even more, of your freedom's ring to how this 02:44:34.000 --> 02:44:37.140 all worked in Nazi Germany. 02:44:37.520 --> 02:44:37.940 That's right. 02:44:38.720 --> 02:44:39.860 You want to just touch on that? 02:44:40.140 --> 02:44:40.480 Sure. 02:44:40.860 --> 02:44:45.380 How was all this used with Nazi Germany and with Hitler and what did Catholicism 02:44:45.380 --> 02:44:48.840 have to do with that and how does that tie in with present-day Adventism? 02:44:49.420 --> 02:44:50.940 Can we hit that chronologically? 02:44:51.200 --> 02:44:52.020 We're almost to it, John. 02:44:52.060 --> 02:44:54.840 You know, I'm just thinking of all of these things and I don't want to leave 02:44:54.840 --> 02:44:55.280 anything out. 02:44:55.340 --> 02:44:56.520 I don't want to leave anything out. 02:44:56.620 --> 02:44:57.840 That's why I'm trying... 02:44:57.840 --> 02:45:00.600 You keep saying those things and I'll keep trying to move us chronologically. 02:45:00.600 --> 02:45:01.620 I'm going to write it down here. 02:45:01.840 --> 02:45:02.120 Okay. 02:45:02.740 --> 02:45:08.840 Now, I want to give you another statement, John, from this pastor who wrote this 02:45:08.840 --> 02:45:11.120 book, The Pied Piper of the Pentecostal Movement. 02:45:11.240 --> 02:45:16.100 For twelve centuries, papal Rome has planned and worked to impose church rule 02:45:16.100 --> 02:45:16.760 over mankind. 02:45:17.500 --> 02:45:20.980 Pressure has come through navies, armies, including the Nazi regime, 02:45:21.380 --> 02:45:22.320 torture and the stake. 02:45:22.400 --> 02:45:23.140 All have failed. 02:45:23.480 --> 02:45:29.380 Then in 1963, Pope John XXIII put in motion a Vatican II council device for 02:45:29.380 --> 02:45:30.620 world religious unity. 02:45:31.040 --> 02:45:36.460 It was a vital step in a final thrust for success, the strategy of ecumenism. 02:45:36.460 --> 02:45:41.940 And the Holy See awaits with open arms and complete satisfaction as the Pentecostal 02:45:41.940 --> 02:45:46.400 Movement hastens that impending hour of disastrous triumph and vicious control. 02:45:46.840 --> 02:45:49.340 And so now we are in the late 1980s. 02:45:49.660 --> 02:45:53.920 The Celebration Movement is taking hundreds of SDA churches by storm with the 02:45:53.920 --> 02:45:54.540 speed of lightning. 02:45:54.660 --> 02:45:59.900 And then in 1989, the spiritual exercises of the Jesuit order are introduced into 02:45:59.900 --> 02:46:04.520 the SDA ministry and congregations and they spread across the land. 02:46:04.520 --> 02:46:08.240 They're being taught from the West Coast to the East Coast, Canada, Andrews. 02:46:09.060 --> 02:46:11.360 It's called cataphatic prayer imaging. 02:46:11.500 --> 02:46:15.460 It's a modern term for it, John, and it's catching on hundreds and 02:46:15.460 --> 02:46:16.140 thousands of miles. 02:46:16.220 --> 02:46:20.880 I want to bring you some more books here, John, on this subject that you just asked 02:46:20.880 --> 02:46:21.340 me about. 02:46:22.780 --> 02:46:27.460 And that is the connection there with Nazi Germany. 02:46:30.120 --> 02:46:34.060 Oh, by the way, you know that in-gathering brochure I was telling you about? 02:46:34.140 --> 02:46:35.640 Terry Ross just handed it to me. 02:46:36.220 --> 02:46:40.300 And maybe we should, you know, I'll show it on screen as we were talking 02:46:40.300 --> 02:46:41.360 about it there. 02:46:41.480 --> 02:46:44.520 But it's just amazing how these three wavy lines go right through it. 02:46:44.800 --> 02:46:49.000 And it even has one here of the fellow worshiping the sun with the three wavy 02:46:49.000 --> 02:46:50.840 lines and it going into one. 02:46:51.020 --> 02:46:54.140 Our people should be looking at this new in-gathering brochure. 02:46:54.220 --> 02:46:55.800 It ties right in with what you're saying here. 02:46:55.800 --> 02:46:57.600 Okay, our authorized Bible vindicated. 02:46:57.740 --> 02:46:58.700 I'm going to lay it by Wilkinson. 02:46:58.720 --> 02:46:59.680 I'm laying that down here. 02:47:00.340 --> 02:47:02.540 And if you need any of this, just holler and I'll get it for you. 02:47:02.860 --> 02:47:04.580 We've only got so much room on this little table. 02:47:10.020 --> 02:47:12.040 Okay, what are you going to show us now? 02:47:12.140 --> 02:47:15.620 All right, John, we want to look now a little more closely at the spiritual 02:47:15.620 --> 02:47:18.420 exercises because they're coming into our church now. 02:47:19.120 --> 02:47:23.240 I listened to the tape by Bill Loveless last summer. 02:47:23.560 --> 02:47:24.740 Yes, the one you had on your tape. 02:47:24.760 --> 02:47:26.300 Yeah, my first NLP tape. 02:47:26.300 --> 02:47:30.940 And as I listened to it, I had the earphones on and I had this book, 02:47:31.400 --> 02:47:34.520 The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, in my lap. 02:47:34.700 --> 02:47:38.700 And I was thumbing from one page to the next, following along as he was leading 02:47:38.700 --> 02:47:40.580 them in the spiritual exercises. 02:47:40.900 --> 02:47:46.580 So in our July issue of Freedom's Ring, we laid it out one half of a page against 02:47:46.580 --> 02:47:47.360 the other half. 02:47:47.360 --> 02:47:50.460 On one side, the spiritual exercises quotes. 02:47:50.640 --> 02:47:55.360 On the other side, Bill Loveless' quotes in that workers' meeting where he led the 02:47:55.360 --> 02:47:56.620 workers in the spiritual exercises. 02:47:57.160 --> 02:47:57.580 Pastors. 02:47:57.980 --> 02:47:58.580 Pastors. 02:47:59.320 --> 02:48:03.200 And what is behind the spiritual exercises? 02:48:03.340 --> 02:48:09.580 Well, Ignatius Loyola developed these exercises to combat the Protestant 02:48:09.580 --> 02:48:10.360 Reformation. 02:48:11.180 --> 02:48:16.780 And in Munich, in Bavaria, in the Counter-Reformation, the Jesuits moved 02:48:16.780 --> 02:48:20.420 into that area and they held that area against the Protestant Reformation. 02:48:21.000 --> 02:48:24.220 They taught the spiritual exercises to the common people. 02:48:24.600 --> 02:48:28.440 Incidentally, the Roman Catholic Church is trying to accomplish that very thing 02:48:28.440 --> 02:48:28.900 today. 02:48:29.240 --> 02:48:34.340 As I was going in to take care of my father when he was passing away from 02:48:34.340 --> 02:48:36.580 cancer, he was in the hospital. 02:48:37.140 --> 02:48:42.080 And I turned on the radio at 3 o'clock in the morning and an NPR station was 02:48:42.080 --> 02:48:46.640 carrying a BBC broadcast by a Roman Catholic priest advocating the spiritual 02:48:46.640 --> 02:48:48.540 exercises for the common man. 02:48:48.840 --> 02:48:50.120 And that's what we are being taught. 02:48:50.380 --> 02:48:50.860 Unconditional love. 02:48:50.880 --> 02:48:53.360 That's what we are being taught in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 02:48:53.520 --> 02:48:57.100 Now, what happens in the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius? 02:48:57.780 --> 02:49:00.040 It is mysticism, first of all. 02:49:00.160 --> 02:49:03.760 St. Ignatius' profound precepts of mystical theology. 02:49:03.760 --> 02:49:11.200 It is a form of mysticism which brings together the mystical approach of 02:49:11.200 --> 02:49:14.000 Catholicism in the medieval times. 02:49:14.480 --> 02:49:16.480 Along with Ignatius' own discoveries. 02:49:16.640 --> 02:49:17.480 He wrote a journal. 02:49:17.680 --> 02:49:20.100 Journal entries, which we are seeing everywhere all of a sudden. 02:49:20.300 --> 02:49:21.920 It's in Becoming a Master Student. 02:49:22.340 --> 02:49:24.660 It's being utilized by Bill Loveless. 02:49:25.420 --> 02:49:25.640 Everyone is writing a journal. 02:49:25.640 --> 02:49:26.460 Everyone is writing a journal. 02:49:27.340 --> 02:49:31.820 It's called for here in the spiritual exercises of Ignatius. 02:49:31.820 --> 02:49:35.340 But basically what happens, the man entering the Jesuit order goes through 02:49:35.340 --> 02:49:42.180 this 30-day program in which he learns to surrender his conscience to his superior. 02:49:42.900 --> 02:49:45.100 Now, this very thing is happening within our own church. 02:49:45.320 --> 02:49:50.720 And I know the story of a historic Adventist church school teacher who stood 02:49:50.720 --> 02:49:55.760 up in behalf of the truth and ran into opposition from the conference office. 02:49:55.760 --> 02:50:00.800 And the conference president told him that if you're having trouble accepting my 02:50:00.800 --> 02:50:05.320 position on this, then you're going to have to surrender your conscience and 02:50:05.320 --> 02:50:06.620 accept my conscience. 02:50:06.840 --> 02:50:10.340 That's exactly what the spiritual exercises are designed to do. 02:50:10.780 --> 02:50:15.800 And the avenue by which they accomplish that is they use the imagination to 02:50:15.800 --> 02:50:16.820 control the will. 02:50:17.360 --> 02:50:21.540 Now, Ellen White says that a surrendered will is to control the imagination. 02:50:21.880 --> 02:50:23.740 So you see they've turned that around backwards. 02:50:23.740 --> 02:50:29.840 And so to control the will, they use the imagination to accomplish that. 02:50:29.860 --> 02:50:31.240 Imagine that you are by the sea. 02:50:31.480 --> 02:50:33.880 Imagine, paint the color of the sky in. 02:50:33.980 --> 02:50:35.460 Imagine that you see Jesus. 02:50:35.660 --> 02:50:37.680 Imagine, you know, what is he wearing? 02:50:37.740 --> 02:50:38.440 What are you wearing? 02:50:38.580 --> 02:50:39.020 Where are you? 02:50:39.180 --> 02:50:39.840 Imagine yourself. 02:50:40.200 --> 02:50:42.680 You know, we went through all of that with this Bill Loveless thing. 02:50:42.720 --> 02:50:43.700 And that's what's being taught. 02:50:43.920 --> 02:50:48.100 It's even being taught to our youth now in the December 30, 1992 devotional. 02:50:48.240 --> 02:50:49.140 Oh, okay. 02:50:49.580 --> 02:50:50.200 Bring that up. 02:50:50.240 --> 02:50:51.620 Let's show the people right now. 02:50:51.620 --> 02:50:53.020 Now, I want to tell you something. 02:50:53.320 --> 02:50:57.240 That this is what we have had so many phone calls from college students in our 02:50:57.240 --> 02:50:57.700 colleges. 02:50:57.900 --> 02:51:00.720 And they say this stuff is being taught all over the place in our youth 02:51:00.720 --> 02:51:02.900 departments, in our periodicals. 02:51:02.980 --> 02:51:05.880 Not just Bill Loveless in a one-time incident with our ministers. 02:51:06.300 --> 02:51:10.860 This is going through our church like wildfire, just as Celebration did. 02:51:11.060 --> 02:51:16.060 All of these concepts that came out of Catholicism that you're showing to us 02:51:16.060 --> 02:51:16.500 today. 02:51:17.260 --> 02:51:17.480 Right. 02:51:17.480 --> 02:51:25.620 Now, at the Nuremberg trials, Walter Schellenberg, and this is quoted in The 02:51:25.620 --> 02:51:31.260 Nazis and the Occult, Walter Schellenberg told of how Heinrich Himmler, who was in 02:51:31.260 --> 02:51:36.160 charge of the Nazi SS, had the best library in all of Europe on the Jesuits. 02:51:36.760 --> 02:51:38.460 He had an uncle who was a Jesuit. 02:51:38.700 --> 02:51:42.920 And he would spend hours every evening perusing in that library. 02:51:42.920 --> 02:51:47.600 And he built the whole Nazi SS up based on the spiritual exercises. 02:51:47.720 --> 02:51:53.420 He wanted men who had no conscientious scruples personally that would block them 02:51:53.420 --> 02:51:54.640 from obeying orders. 02:51:54.880 --> 02:52:01.260 And so he accomplished the cadaver obedience he was after by inculcating them 02:52:01.260 --> 02:52:03.960 in the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius. 02:52:03.960 --> 02:52:14.980 Is it not only possible but probable that the reason Celebration, NLP, all of these 02:52:14.980 --> 02:52:19.380 techniques are being used on our people and have been brought into the Seventh-day 02:52:19.380 --> 02:52:24.620 Adventist Church is to give Adventist people a cadaver obedience to the 02:52:24.620 --> 02:52:25.020 conference? 02:52:25.440 --> 02:52:25.900 Absolutely. 02:52:26.280 --> 02:52:28.320 Not only the conference, but to the papacy ultimately. 02:52:28.680 --> 02:52:29.820 Ultimately to the papacy. 02:52:29.840 --> 02:52:32.300 Ultimately to the papacy and ultimately to the devil himself. 02:52:32.300 --> 02:52:35.120 To where they will one day receive the mark of the beast. 02:52:35.340 --> 02:52:36.060 Conscience is silenced. 02:52:36.340 --> 02:52:36.640 Bottom line. 02:52:37.020 --> 02:52:39.520 Not only that, but they can also become the worst persecutors. 02:52:39.600 --> 02:52:41.280 Because look at what the Nazi SS did. 02:52:41.300 --> 02:52:42.760 Isn't that what our prophet tells us? 02:52:42.900 --> 02:52:44.020 That's how they do that. 02:52:44.220 --> 02:52:48.480 That's how our former Adventists become our worst persecutors is because they have 02:52:48.480 --> 02:52:49.940 succumbed to this type of thing. 02:52:49.940 --> 02:52:58.360 John, in Heinrich Himmler's experience, he not only used Western mystical, 02:52:58.740 --> 02:53:05.880 quote, Christian or papal mysticism, Vatican-type mysticism, but he also was 02:53:05.880 --> 02:53:07.120 into Eastern mysticism. 02:53:07.880 --> 02:53:13.000 He told his doctor that he never made a move without the Bhagavad Gita. 02:53:13.680 --> 02:53:14.420 What is that? 02:53:14.900 --> 02:53:18.200 Bhagavad Gita is the Hindu Bible. 02:53:18.400 --> 02:53:19.180 Ah, okay. 02:53:19.180 --> 02:53:24.260 And they like to say that it's older than our Christian Bible. 02:53:24.980 --> 02:53:27.740 At any rate, he was deeply... he read the Rig Vedas. 02:53:28.040 --> 02:53:31.660 He read all of this Eastern writings. 02:53:31.900 --> 02:53:32.700 The Eastern writings. 02:53:32.740 --> 02:53:36.260 He was into Eastern mysticism as well as Western mysticism. 02:53:36.940 --> 02:53:39.240 And Bill Lovelace basically is a blend of the two. 02:53:39.340 --> 02:53:43.000 Now, Bill Lovelace at the beginning of his talk mentioned Morton Kelsey. 02:53:43.280 --> 02:53:48.160 Ellen White's writing was just like that of Morton Kelsey, as you recall. 02:53:48.160 --> 02:53:52.140 And here's Morton Kelsey's book, Companions on the Inner Way. 02:53:52.640 --> 02:53:56.380 I'd like to just bring you a couple of statements from this book. 02:53:56.840 --> 02:53:57.900 A little of Kelsey's thought. 02:53:59.240 --> 02:54:04.020 This point of view gave rise to a rich and lively devotional practice which animated 02:54:04.020 --> 02:54:06.200 the early church and continued through medieval times. 02:54:06.760 --> 02:54:10.360 There are a few more magnificent spiritual writings than those of Bernard of 02:54:10.360 --> 02:54:13.480 Clairvaux, Mother Julian, a number of others here. 02:54:13.480 --> 02:54:18.480 It is just these magnificent writings that Paulist Press is bringing back into 02:54:18.480 --> 02:54:19.040 publication. 02:54:19.620 --> 02:54:23.440 The actual religious practice of the Middle Ages as it took place within the 02:54:23.440 --> 02:54:28.340 monastic communities was gathered together and systematized in classic form by 02:54:28.340 --> 02:54:31.440 Ignatius of Loyola in his spiritual exercises. 02:54:31.860 --> 02:54:36.620 So, you see, what Bill Lovelace says is, you know, we're not getting into Eastern 02:54:36.620 --> 02:54:37.740 mysticism here. 02:54:37.780 --> 02:54:40.740 We're into Western mysticism. 02:54:40.740 --> 02:54:43.260 And that's the spiritual exercises. 02:54:43.840 --> 02:54:46.380 But actually it's a blend of the two as you listen to it. 02:54:46.880 --> 02:54:50.540 This is what is known as the cataphatic tradition of prayer. 02:54:51.080 --> 02:54:55.520 Prayer that uses images in devotional practice to mediate the divine. 02:54:55.920 --> 02:55:01.920 Now, incidentally, this practice of creating your own image of Christ in your 02:55:01.920 --> 02:55:03.040 imagination... 02:55:03.040 --> 02:55:03.800 Explain cataphatic. 02:55:06.260 --> 02:55:10.100 Cataphatic is the term that's used for the spiritual exercises. 02:55:10.100 --> 02:55:11.520 Okay, that's the term... 02:55:11.520 --> 02:55:15.920 That's a modern term for putting across the spiritual exercises. 02:55:16.440 --> 02:55:21.240 The idea that you can create the divine, create the creator, is very much like the 02:55:21.240 --> 02:55:22.120 Eucharist, you see. 02:55:22.340 --> 02:55:24.240 The creature creates the creator. 02:55:24.660 --> 02:55:26.040 This is also divination. 02:55:27.300 --> 02:55:30.920 You divine, you divine, you conjure up your God, you see. 02:55:31.260 --> 02:55:32.940 And then you make your God do what you want. 02:55:32.940 --> 02:55:35.080 Oh, and that's exactly what Bill Lovelace did with those pastors. 02:55:35.120 --> 02:55:36.440 He conjured up Jesus. 02:55:36.440 --> 02:55:39.520 Yeah, you conjure up your God, you have him come through the door, 02:55:39.640 --> 02:55:41.440 you have him sit down in the chair you want him to sit. 02:55:41.520 --> 02:55:43.420 You say the things and he says the things back. 02:55:43.420 --> 02:55:46.340 Oh, it reminds me of the spiritualist medium, the Witch of Indore, how they 02:55:46.340 --> 02:55:46.960 conjure up... 02:55:46.960 --> 02:55:47.720 It's witchcraft. 02:55:48.000 --> 02:55:48.540 It's witchcraft. 02:55:49.200 --> 02:55:50.640 Exactly, that's what it is. 02:55:52.000 --> 02:55:55.440 Here's another statement from Morton Kelsey. 02:55:56.940 --> 02:56:01.820 The spiritual exercises of Ignatius of Loyola gathered up and systematized with 02:56:01.820 --> 02:56:05.980 genius the religious practices that have been normative for several centuries in 02:56:05.980 --> 02:56:07.280 Christian devotional practice. 02:56:07.340 --> 02:56:11.380 So he is a big promoter of the spiritual exercises, you see. 02:56:11.740 --> 02:56:15.080 And that's the one that Bill Lovelace compared to Ellen White. 02:56:15.240 --> 02:56:19.380 Right, now the other one that he compared her to, he compared her to Buddhist 02:56:19.380 --> 02:56:22.700 writings, but he also compared her to William Johnston. 02:56:25.020 --> 02:56:27.260 Sophia University in Tokyo. 02:56:27.480 --> 02:56:33.000 Alright, now here I have the cloud of unknowing with an introduction by William 02:56:33.000 --> 02:56:33.740 Johnston. 02:56:34.000 --> 02:56:35.400 This is the same William Johnston. 02:56:35.840 --> 02:56:36.360 The Jesuit? 02:56:36.440 --> 02:56:41.880 He is a Jesuit professor at Sophia University in Tokyo. 02:56:42.200 --> 02:56:46.560 Now in order for William Lovelace to know about these, he has to be reading their 02:56:46.560 --> 02:56:48.540 books, he has to be reading their works. 02:56:48.540 --> 02:56:54.420 How can you read and absorb all this stuff without becoming influenced by it? 02:56:54.540 --> 02:56:56.040 This is what worries me about you. 02:56:56.160 --> 02:57:00.180 You're doing all this research and I'm just praying, and I know that you have 02:57:00.180 --> 02:57:05.960 too, that God will protect you in your research from being in the slightest bit 02:57:05.960 --> 02:57:08.220 caught up. 02:57:09.400 --> 02:57:13.840 I'm really praying for you as you delve into all this stuff, Bob, that God will 02:57:13.840 --> 02:57:16.640 protect you from being caught up in it. 02:57:16.640 --> 02:57:17.660 I'll tell you the worst thing. 02:57:18.260 --> 02:57:22.260 The worst thing that I ever had to research was NLP. 02:57:23.020 --> 02:57:25.980 That is the most evil thing that I have ever seen. 02:57:26.080 --> 02:57:27.620 John, I prayed continually. 02:57:28.100 --> 02:57:29.240 I had to break away. 02:57:29.420 --> 02:57:31.340 I had to take prayer walks. 02:57:31.680 --> 02:57:34.700 It was the most evil thing that I have ever seen. 02:57:34.700 --> 02:57:36.860 I just talked to Constance Cumby on the phone. 02:57:37.580 --> 02:57:41.900 Her and I talk a lot, and she called me just this past week. 02:57:42.420 --> 02:57:49.320 In fact, we're thinking about having Constance Cumby come down for an interview 02:57:49.320 --> 02:57:51.480 on video here in just a couple of weeks. 02:57:51.980 --> 02:57:55.260 But in her book, Hidden Secrets, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, 02:57:55.760 --> 02:57:59.980 she talks about the way that New Age is coming to the Christian church. 02:57:59.980 --> 02:58:04.620 And when I told her how that we were doing this research on Neuro-Linguistic 02:58:04.620 --> 02:58:07.840 Programming, she says, Oh, Neuro-Linguistic, NLP, she says, 02:58:07.860 --> 02:58:09.200 that is just evil. 02:58:09.460 --> 02:58:13.820 She says, that is one of the most evil of all the New Age techniques that's coming 02:58:13.820 --> 02:58:15.480 to the Seventh-day Adventist church. 02:58:15.820 --> 02:58:21.440 So, you know, when you realize how evil, and I'm going to be interviewing Terry 02:58:21.440 --> 02:58:23.960 Ross in just a few moments here at the end of my interview with you. 02:58:23.960 --> 02:58:29.040 Terry Ross has found some startling things, new things about the evilness of 02:58:29.040 --> 02:58:30.100 NLP. 02:58:30.820 --> 02:58:36.560 And to realize that we are the church that is foremost, the Seventh-day Adventist 02:58:36.560 --> 02:58:44.280 church is the foremost promoter of NLP of all the other church denominations. 02:58:45.240 --> 02:58:48.560 Seventh-day Adventist promotes NLP more than any other church. 02:58:48.560 --> 02:58:53.600 John Savage is, of the 40 churches he is working with, the first and foremost one 02:58:53.600 --> 02:58:54.700 is Seventh-day Adventism. 02:58:55.020 --> 02:59:01.560 And even non-Adventists are telling us that it is the most evil of all the New 02:59:01.560 --> 02:59:03.800 Age techniques that has crept into the Christian church. 02:59:04.480 --> 02:59:06.560 Listen to this from The Great Controversy. 02:59:06.580 --> 02:59:11.280 None are in greater danger from the influence of evil spirits than those who, 02:59:11.400 --> 02:59:14.540 notwithstanding the direct and ample testimony of the Scriptures, deny the 02:59:14.540 --> 02:59:16.520 existence and agency of the devil and his angels. 02:59:16.520 --> 02:59:22.260 So long as we are ignorant of their wiles, they have almost inconceivable advantage. 02:59:22.960 --> 02:59:26.360 Many give heed to their suggestions while they suppose themselves to be following 02:59:26.360 --> 02:59:28.600 the dictates of their own wisdom. 02:59:29.040 --> 02:59:33.840 There is nothing that the great deceiver fears so much as that we shall become 02:59:33.840 --> 02:59:34.900 acquainted with his devices. 02:59:35.000 --> 02:59:39.520 So my purpose in studying this, of course, is to reveal Satan's devices. 02:59:40.040 --> 02:59:44.580 Because without that, people are walking into it not knowing what it is. 02:59:45.020 --> 02:59:48.980 We are going to ask God to continue to protect you as you do this research. 02:59:49.100 --> 02:59:51.660 Now, you've brought us up to a time frame up to the late 80s. 02:59:51.720 --> 02:59:52.580 Are we into the 90s yet? 02:59:53.320 --> 02:59:58.860 Yes, we're right on the brink of the 90s now with the coming in of the spiritual 02:59:58.860 --> 02:59:59.700 exercises. 03:00:00.680 --> 03:00:03.120 And William, I wanted to say something else about William Johnston. 03:00:03.240 --> 03:00:04.680 He's a Teilhardian Jesuit. 03:00:05.440 --> 03:00:12.220 Now, the most influential figure in the New Age movement is Pierre Teilhard de 03:00:12.220 --> 03:00:13.280 Chardin, a Jesuit. 03:00:13.280 --> 03:00:14.860 He's a renegade Jesuit. 03:00:15.620 --> 03:00:20.920 But he is the one who believes that when the consciousness of humanity is 03:00:20.920 --> 03:00:28.280 completely united and all of humanity's consciousness level is heightened to a 03:00:28.280 --> 03:00:31.460 certain point, then the Omega Christ will appear. 03:00:32.020 --> 03:00:33.280 The Omega Christ? 03:00:33.280 --> 03:00:34.700 The Omega Christ. 03:00:35.640 --> 03:00:43.400 Yes, now this is very interesting that he, who is a Jesuit, has had great influence 03:00:43.400 --> 03:00:48.340 among Roman Catholic theologians and the Jesuit order with his ideas about the 03:00:48.340 --> 03:00:49.560 Omega Christ. 03:00:50.040 --> 03:00:54.040 And he believes that this will be the real incarnation of the Christ. 03:00:54.060 --> 03:00:56.420 So we're talking about Satan impersonating the Christ. 03:00:56.420 --> 03:00:56.860 Exactly. 03:00:58.260 --> 03:00:59.520 As the Omega Christ. 03:00:59.920 --> 03:01:01.000 And that's only the beginning of it, John. 03:01:01.000 --> 03:01:03.920 And, of course, we know about the Omega apostasy in the Seventh-day Advent Church, 03:01:03.960 --> 03:01:05.080 a most startling nature. 03:01:06.940 --> 03:01:13.280 John, this book here, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ by Matthew Fox, is 03:01:13.280 --> 03:01:15.220 absolutely startling. 03:01:15.340 --> 03:01:17.560 Now, this man is a Dominican scholar. 03:01:17.920 --> 03:01:20.100 The Dominicans ran the Inquisition, incidentally. 03:01:20.380 --> 03:01:22.880 Both of these men are renegades, I will say that. 03:01:22.880 --> 03:01:29.100 But in this book, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, he describes how there has to be 03:01:29.100 --> 03:01:32.080 worldwide liturgical change in celebration. 03:01:32.880 --> 03:01:32.920 Yes. 03:01:33.280 --> 03:01:40.360 Celebration is a fundamental thing all the way through, but he gets deeply into 03:01:40.360 --> 03:01:41.240 mysticism. 03:01:41.780 --> 03:01:47.340 And he says we have to have deep mysticism in order to have deep ecumenism. 03:01:47.340 --> 03:01:51.940 And I was reading along in here, and he got to the point where he was 03:01:51.940 --> 03:01:58.560 telling about the primary example of deep mysticism taking place. 03:01:59.360 --> 03:02:04.120 And he cites an experience that took place just recently in North Carolina, 03:02:04.500 --> 03:02:06.580 a summer workshop on creation spirituality. 03:02:07.120 --> 03:02:11.060 Now, the Cosmic Christ, incidentally, is a pantheistic Christ. 03:02:11.740 --> 03:02:16.720 Pierre Killard de Chardin said that the Cosmic Christ is neither human nor divine. 03:02:17.380 --> 03:02:18.800 He is cosmic. 03:02:19.320 --> 03:02:25.140 Well, that's what we saw in The Coming of the Cosmic King in the ministry magazine 03:02:25.140 --> 03:02:26.100 that we... 03:02:26.100 --> 03:02:28.600 That painting parallels what you read in here. 03:02:29.260 --> 03:02:35.600 And in this deepest example of deep mysticism, bringing about deep ecumenical 03:02:35.600 --> 03:02:41.160 realignment, there were, at this creation spirituality workshop in North Carolina, 03:02:41.360 --> 03:02:45.220 not only Roman Catholics and Quakers, Anglicans and Methodists, but Southern 03:02:45.220 --> 03:02:47.740 Baptists and Seventh-day Adventists. 03:02:48.440 --> 03:02:49.780 And it says right there in that book. 03:02:50.200 --> 03:02:51.480 Yes, I was just reading it along. 03:02:51.560 --> 03:02:55.680 You see, this is the thing that our leadership denies and lies to our people 03:02:55.680 --> 03:02:57.720 and telling them we have nothing to do with this stuff. 03:02:57.860 --> 03:02:59.280 And then we read about it. 03:02:59.400 --> 03:03:01.120 But you see, our people are not reading this book. 03:03:01.340 --> 03:03:02.540 These books, praise the Lord. 03:03:02.540 --> 03:03:07.220 But also, praise the Lord for researchers such as yourself that the Lord takes you 03:03:07.220 --> 03:03:11.460 to and shows you what is really going on in the Seventh-day Adventist Church so 03:03:11.460 --> 03:03:14.380 that you can warn our people that we're being lied to. 03:03:14.980 --> 03:03:21.860 You see, the Cosmic Christ being a Pantheistic Christ is identical. 03:03:22.500 --> 03:03:24.620 It's the idea of divinity being in everything. 03:03:24.620 --> 03:03:31.940 And it is identical to the Baal worship that was present in the days of Elijah, 03:03:32.180 --> 03:03:39.300 where they believed that the Baals lived in the trees and the stones and this and 03:03:39.300 --> 03:03:39.520 that. 03:03:39.660 --> 03:03:45.720 And also, the Pantheistic element of it parallels precisely the Alpha of apostasy. 03:03:46.440 --> 03:03:52.320 So we've come right down to the Omega of apostasy there. 03:03:52.320 --> 03:03:59.700 And for the tie-in, John, between New Age and Roman Catholicism that goes beyond 03:03:59.700 --> 03:04:03.820 even Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Matthew Fox, the Dominican scholar, 03:04:04.080 --> 03:04:09.880 I have this book here, Mary in Faith and Life in the New Age of the Church. 03:04:10.100 --> 03:04:13.240 Mary in Faith and Life in the New Age. 03:04:13.240 --> 03:04:15.520 Look at that term, New Age of the Church. 03:04:15.520 --> 03:04:21.960 And did you know that over at Medjugorje in Europe, Mary, the apparition of Mary 03:04:21.960 --> 03:04:27.900 that is appearing to the children, she is telling the children that Mary is 03:04:27.900 --> 03:04:32.540 very upset with the world because they are not keeping Sunday. 03:04:34.580 --> 03:04:38.220 Mary is upset because we're not keeping Sunday. 03:04:38.580 --> 03:04:40.860 Does that tie in with this thing in Fatima? 03:04:40.860 --> 03:04:43.580 Well, Fatima is a similar type of thing. 03:04:43.740 --> 03:04:46.360 Fatima was more dealing with the conversion of Russia. 03:04:47.040 --> 03:04:54.500 And here we have the Virgin Mary being promoted in our own, you know, 03:04:55.060 --> 03:05:00.500 charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be 03:05:00.500 --> 03:05:02.020 praised, Proverbs 31.30. 03:05:02.020 --> 03:05:09.120 They use this as a passage in this Andrews Theological Seminary and our Andrews 03:05:09.120 --> 03:05:14.620 University casting yearbook with a picture of Mary to promote the Virgin Mary. 03:05:15.120 --> 03:05:16.620 I mean, this is unbelievable. 03:05:17.480 --> 03:05:22.360 Have you noticed, Bob, how suddenly on the whole world, not just on Catholics, 03:05:22.460 --> 03:05:26.460 but on the whole world, on the Protestant world, everybody is talking about Mary? 03:05:27.040 --> 03:05:30.140 I've noticed that just recently, that suddenly everybody is talking about 03:05:30.140 --> 03:05:31.060 the Virgin Mary. 03:05:31.060 --> 03:05:31.880 That's right. 03:05:32.540 --> 03:05:37.460 So we have the spiritual exercises that have been brought in to basically 03:05:37.460 --> 03:05:43.440 subjugate the people to the clergy in a hierarchical fashion like the Jesuit order 03:05:43.440 --> 03:05:44.020 has. 03:05:44.660 --> 03:05:48.980 And then by 1991, we have hundreds, you've released some lists of this, 03:05:49.240 --> 03:05:52.620 John, hundreds of SDA pastors that have been trained in the most sophisticated 03:05:52.620 --> 03:05:57.740 hypnotic techniques in existence to fasten the congregations in apostasy. 03:05:58.670 --> 03:06:04.840 When you look historically at the principles used in NLP, it's very 03:06:04.840 --> 03:06:10.940 significant to me that in the Cheka in Russia, the precursor of the modern KGB, 03:06:11.660 --> 03:06:12.820 they used pacing. 03:06:13.660 --> 03:06:18.740 Dzerzhinsky, who had been trained in seminary, he was a Polish Catholic. 03:06:19.300 --> 03:06:23.980 He was used by Lenin to set up the counter-espionage service of the Cheka. 03:06:24.460 --> 03:06:28.200 And he said, we give a man whatever he wants. 03:06:29.020 --> 03:06:35.260 We teach them how to want to be deceived. 03:06:36.620 --> 03:06:39.480 And this is so fundamental to NLP. 03:06:39.480 --> 03:06:41.160 Our people want to be deceived. 03:06:41.320 --> 03:06:46.180 Our Seventh-day Adventist people want to believe that the conference is the church 03:06:46.180 --> 03:06:50.220 and that all you have to do is stay with the conference and blind loyalty to the 03:06:50.220 --> 03:06:53.000 conference and you're going to stay with the ship and go to heaven. 03:06:53.340 --> 03:06:55.200 Our people want to be deceived. 03:06:55.600 --> 03:06:58.620 Our people want to believe that the conference is the church, that our 03:06:58.620 --> 03:07:03.480 leadership is not corrupt, that we're not being led by Catholicism and 03:07:03.480 --> 03:07:06.600 Pentecostalism and New Age techniques. 03:07:06.600 --> 03:07:11.640 You know, they want to believe that the conference is the church and all they have 03:07:11.640 --> 03:07:13.640 to do is trust the conference and they're going to heaven. 03:07:14.040 --> 03:07:17.220 So, you know, that just fits right in to where we are as a people. 03:07:17.520 --> 03:07:19.140 Our people want to be deceived. 03:07:19.820 --> 03:07:20.040 Yes. 03:07:20.180 --> 03:07:24.960 In fact, Ellen White says in Great Controversy that Satan has a deception for 03:07:24.960 --> 03:07:30.060 anyone who's unwilling to lift the cross and go against the grain of the carnal 03:07:30.060 --> 03:07:32.500 heart in their spiritual following of Christ. 03:07:32.500 --> 03:07:40.640 So, this is an utter abomination, as you've pointed out, John, the NLP 03:07:40.640 --> 03:07:48.040 businesses for binding the congregations into this very thing that Ellen White 03:07:48.040 --> 03:07:49.730 warned against in Great Controversy. 03:07:50.460 --> 03:07:52.620 We're seeing it happen before our very eyes. 03:07:52.620 --> 03:07:59.680 And now we come to 1991 and we have John Paul II in the encyclical in May, 03:08:00.420 --> 03:08:06.480 Centesimus Annus, calling for national Sunday laws around the world, for all the 03:08:06.480 --> 03:08:11.720 nations to order their legal system to accommodate Sunday laws. 03:08:11.960 --> 03:08:17.540 And President Bush is working, laboring to construct a new world order 03:08:17.540 --> 03:08:20.840 based on international law through the United Nations. 03:08:20.840 --> 03:08:23.880 We have communism collapsing in Russia. 03:08:24.620 --> 03:08:31.380 The major deterrent to the military might of America has vaporized and now we are 03:08:31.380 --> 03:08:35.700 even sending funds over for the demolition of their nuclear arms. 03:08:36.220 --> 03:08:41.720 And America is emerging center stage as the dominant force in the United Nations 03:08:41.720 --> 03:08:44.220 and we taught a lesson to the world in Kuwait. 03:08:44.680 --> 03:08:49.620 You don't mess with the United Nations led by the United States or we'll bomb you 03:08:49.620 --> 03:08:50.440 into the Stone Age. 03:08:50.440 --> 03:08:54.160 And so the stage is all set, John. 03:08:54.280 --> 03:09:00.960 It's being set in, we haven't even touched on it, in the courts, constitutionally, 03:09:01.040 --> 03:09:05.460 in the law schools, the whole way is prepared for the final crisis being right 03:09:05.460 --> 03:09:05.720 before us. 03:09:05.720 --> 03:09:07.880 What's going on in Europe tie in with this? 03:09:08.120 --> 03:09:08.600 Absolutely. 03:09:09.220 --> 03:09:15.540 Give us a little, give us a little idea of how the organization of the European 03:09:15.540 --> 03:09:18.440 states is developing Sunday laws. 03:09:18.620 --> 03:09:20.500 I was amazed to find this out from David Moulton. 03:09:20.500 --> 03:09:22.060 David Moulton told about it Saturday. 03:09:22.200 --> 03:09:27.280 Bless his heart, the research that he is doing and how the unification of Europe, 03:09:27.820 --> 03:09:33.740 the European states has already mandated a Sunday law and they are enforcing it. 03:09:33.740 --> 03:09:37.000 And the people do not want it, the individual countries do not want it, 03:09:37.260 --> 03:09:42.420 but the organization of European states says it must be and it is law. 03:09:42.720 --> 03:09:48.360 John, I had an individual send me some clippings from European papers indicating 03:09:48.360 --> 03:09:53.680 that some of the northern European nations in Scandinavia are very clear. 03:09:54.420 --> 03:09:58.920 Some of the newspaper editorials and articles were very clear that the papacy 03:09:58.920 --> 03:10:02.220 is behind this and they fear falling into this. 03:10:02.220 --> 03:10:04.120 They see it, bless their heart. 03:10:04.560 --> 03:10:12.300 Now Bob, we are in 1991, wrap us up here and tell us how we as historic Adventist 03:10:12.300 --> 03:10:15.400 people can keep from being sucked into this whole thing. 03:10:15.820 --> 03:10:20.180 Well John, you know the Bible says over and over again, unto him shall the 03:10:20.180 --> 03:10:21.320 gathering of the people be. 03:10:21.700 --> 03:10:27.820 We need to gather around Christ and Christ in his word and have a deep, deep 03:10:27.820 --> 03:10:28.480 experience. 03:10:28.480 --> 03:10:33.080 John, we've got to have an experience that is deeper and broader than Enoch's and 03:10:33.080 --> 03:10:36.920 Elijah's because the subtlety of the deceptions we face is so much greater. 03:10:37.420 --> 03:10:41.840 And the 144,000 will sing a song that no other group sings because they've gone 03:10:41.840 --> 03:10:46.360 through an experience that no other church, no other group of people has gone 03:10:46.360 --> 03:10:46.720 through. 03:10:47.200 --> 03:10:50.340 And so we have to understand true Protestantism. 03:10:50.580 --> 03:10:54.460 And thank God for the book Great Conversation, for the Bible. 03:10:54.680 --> 03:10:58.100 We have to spend time, this has to be the chief pursuit of our life. 03:10:58.680 --> 03:11:02.740 Knowing God, knowing the principles of true Protestantism, knowing the principles 03:11:02.740 --> 03:11:09.100 of the word, being faithful in our own personal life and exhibiting and 03:11:09.100 --> 03:11:13.640 experiencing in our own heart the righteousness of Christ received by faith. 03:11:14.200 --> 03:11:18.960 Bob, you have made comment on several occasions today that you feel so bad 03:11:18.960 --> 03:11:22.180 because you left this book and you left that book and you left all these books. 03:11:22.180 --> 03:11:25.900 And you were going to talk about modern warfare and you said, oh, I left all those 03:11:25.900 --> 03:11:31.260 books, how the techniques of modern warfare have just come right out of, 03:11:31.900 --> 03:11:32.940 help me out here. 03:11:33.060 --> 03:11:39.080 Well, Marx and Engels, from then on, they have seen that diplomatic warfare 03:11:39.080 --> 03:11:40.180 comes first. 03:11:40.600 --> 03:11:42.840 You seek to win your enemy over through diplomacy. 03:11:43.100 --> 03:11:44.960 And Rome used that with Martin Luther. 03:11:45.040 --> 03:11:45.860 They tried to do that. 03:11:46.760 --> 03:11:53.500 Ideological warfare, propaganda warfare, economic warfare, and only used military 03:11:53.500 --> 03:11:54.780 force as a last resort. 03:11:55.180 --> 03:12:02.900 So what many of our people are, I think, of the mindset of is that 03:12:02.900 --> 03:12:07.700 suddenly this National Sunday Law will appear and there will be teeth in it. 03:12:07.840 --> 03:12:10.140 But Ellen White says the first one will be just a touch. 03:12:10.680 --> 03:12:14.960 But they think there will be this National Sunday Law with teeth in it and then 03:12:14.960 --> 03:12:18.100 they'll suddenly wake up and they'll realize that they're in the last days. 03:12:18.480 --> 03:12:24.540 But what they don't realize is we're in the heavy onslaught of the conditioning 03:12:24.540 --> 03:12:25.540 process of Rome. 03:12:25.900 --> 03:12:27.700 Conditioning process. 03:12:27.720 --> 03:12:30.780 We are being conditioned for the Sunday Blue Laws. 03:12:30.920 --> 03:12:35.600 Be not shaped into the mold of this world. 03:12:35.680 --> 03:12:36.280 But be ye transformed. 03:12:36.760 --> 03:12:40.300 Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of 03:12:40.300 --> 03:12:41.220 your mind in Christ Jesus. 03:12:41.380 --> 03:12:45.500 If we're not continually every day and every hour being transformed by the 03:12:45.500 --> 03:12:49.540 renewing power of Christ, we will inevitably be conditioned and be swept 03:12:49.540 --> 03:12:50.800 right into the mark of the beast. 03:12:51.600 --> 03:12:55.040 Well, Bob, I appreciate so much this information that you have brought us. 03:12:55.160 --> 03:12:59.120 And what a debt of gratitude our Adventist people have to you for enlightening us to 03:12:59.120 --> 03:13:02.940 what is really taking place in our beloved Seventh-day Adventist church in this 03:13:02.940 --> 03:13:04.260 wonderful message that we have. 03:13:04.260 --> 03:13:06.860 I still have an interview of Terry Ross I've got to take. 03:13:06.980 --> 03:13:11.380 He's found out some startling information about NLP and an update from him on what's 03:13:11.380 --> 03:13:14.200 going on in the Shady Point Church there in Oregon. 03:13:14.640 --> 03:13:17.940 But before we leave, I look over to that table and I see all those books that we 03:13:17.940 --> 03:13:18.820 haven't even touched on. 03:13:19.100 --> 03:13:21.260 We may have to have you back again here at Prophecy Countdown. 03:13:21.300 --> 03:13:22.300 It's been most enjoyable. 03:13:22.540 --> 03:13:23.220 It has been for me, John. 03:13:23.220 --> 03:13:23.820 And it was such a blessing. 03:13:23.940 --> 03:13:26.820 The Rolling Hills church members on Sabbath said how much they appreciated 03:13:26.820 --> 03:13:30.660 your sermon and talk on Sabbath afternoon and the question and answer period that we 03:13:30.660 --> 03:13:30.960 had. 03:13:30.960 --> 03:13:35.880 Before we get out of this interview, I just want to ask you to lead us in 03:13:35.880 --> 03:13:41.760 prayer and to pray for God's people in these trying hours of earth's history. 03:13:42.020 --> 03:13:43.620 Kneel with me, Bob, and lead us in prayer. 03:13:47.700 --> 03:13:52.840 Gracious Father in heaven, it's been wonderful to fellowship together today. 03:13:52.840 --> 03:13:58.960 And Lord, our great prayer, our great cry to Thee from our heart is for a mighty 03:13:58.960 --> 03:14:00.640 revival of primitive godliness. 03:14:01.420 --> 03:14:07.320 Lord, the Holy Spirit is moving across the face of the earth, looking for hearts that 03:14:07.320 --> 03:14:09.120 will be open to His leading. 03:14:09.880 --> 03:14:11.220 May our hearts be open. 03:14:11.740 --> 03:14:16.780 May the mighty power of Christ take control, transforming all of life. 03:14:16.780 --> 03:14:21.820 Help us to have your worldview that is given in the book of Revelation and Daniel 03:14:21.820 --> 03:14:23.320 and the great controversy. 03:14:24.060 --> 03:14:28.860 Help us to be faithful, to spend time with Thee in our prayer lives, to study 03:14:28.860 --> 03:14:31.600 diligently, and to walk in the light. 03:14:32.220 --> 03:14:33.580 Give us great courage. 03:14:33.820 --> 03:14:34.600 Give us faith. 03:14:34.980 --> 03:14:39.880 Help us to learn how to use the armory of heaven, the sword of the Spirit, 03:14:40.000 --> 03:14:43.920 the shield of faith, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, 03:14:43.920 --> 03:14:48.500 feet shod with the gospel of peace and girt about with truth. 03:14:49.060 --> 03:14:55.740 Give us the knowledge, the understanding, the ability, and the willpower, 03:14:56.120 --> 03:15:00.880 and Thy righteousness, Thy love, Thy Spirit in these closing hours that we 03:15:00.880 --> 03:15:06.400 will be sealed with the seal of the living God, that we will be faithful even unto 03:15:06.400 --> 03:15:10.820 death, and that we will receive a crown of life from Thy hand. 03:15:10.820 --> 03:15:16.560 And sing that song in heaven, and dwell with Thee throughout the ceaseless ages of 03:15:16.560 --> 03:15:17.040 eternity. 03:15:17.440 --> 03:15:21.600 Bless John here in his ministry, and bless each one of Thy faithful ones 03:15:21.600 --> 03:15:22.460 around the world. 03:15:22.980 --> 03:15:27.940 Bless our church, we pray, and help us each one to be ready for the issues, 03:15:28.380 --> 03:15:31.360 to be ready for Thy soon coming, is our prayer in Jesus' name. 03:15:31.440 --> 03:15:31.540 Amen. 03:15:33.840 --> 03:15:36.160 Bless your heart, Bob, my brother in Christ. 03:15:36.300 --> 03:15:37.100 God be with you. 03:15:37.180 --> 03:15:39.060 Come back to see us here at Prophecy Countdown. 03:15:39.080 --> 03:15:39.880 It's been wonderful to be here. 03:15:39.880 --> 03:15:40.260 Thank you. 03:15:43.980 --> 03:15:48.400 Terry Ross, what a privilege it has been to have you and Kathy here at Prophecy 03:15:48.400 --> 03:15:48.740 Countdown. 03:15:48.860 --> 03:15:50.060 How long have you been here now? 03:15:50.420 --> 03:15:51.000 Two months. 03:15:51.140 --> 03:15:51.920 Two months! 03:15:52.160 --> 03:15:53.020 It's gone great. 03:15:53.100 --> 03:15:58.020 I got so tickled with the letter we just got from a little friend of yours. 03:15:58.200 --> 03:15:58.420 Right. 03:15:58.640 --> 03:16:04.380 We read it in Church Sabbath, and his big question was, how are you and John getting 03:16:04.380 --> 03:16:04.760 along? 03:16:05.600 --> 03:16:07.560 I think a lot of people have been worried about that. 03:16:07.560 --> 03:16:09.980 Yeah, they think it's like putting nitro and glycerin together, you know, 03:16:10.060 --> 03:16:11.960 putting Terry Ross and John Osborne together. 03:16:12.080 --> 03:16:14.080 Well, if it's controlled, it's powerful. 03:16:14.400 --> 03:16:15.400 There's nothing wrong with it. 03:16:15.880 --> 03:16:18.420 It has been such a thrill to have you all here. 03:16:18.540 --> 03:16:20.960 What a godsend you have been to this ministry. 03:16:21.080 --> 03:16:23.900 And I appreciate the research that you've done, and that's what I want to talk to 03:16:23.900 --> 03:16:24.560 you about right now. 03:16:24.760 --> 03:16:28.560 You have found something in Mother Jones Magazine. 03:16:28.660 --> 03:16:31.640 I'll have to admit to you, I've never ever heard of that magazine. 03:16:31.640 --> 03:16:36.720 But you've found a most astounding article, and I want you to share it with 03:16:36.720 --> 03:16:39.420 our Prophecy Countdown supporters right now. 03:16:39.660 --> 03:16:40.200 I'll be glad to. 03:16:40.500 --> 03:16:43.300 Earlier I think you mentioned Constance Cumby. 03:16:43.420 --> 03:16:43.700 Yes. 03:16:43.840 --> 03:16:47.900 She's a famous attorney and also an author, as you have pointed out. 03:16:48.680 --> 03:16:55.080 And she sent us a fax a few days ago, and on that fax was an article from a 03:16:55.080 --> 03:16:57.880 little known, I suspect, magazine called Mother Jones. 03:16:57.880 --> 03:17:00.720 I didn't know about it either, but Mother Jones Magazine is a politically 03:17:00.720 --> 03:17:05.780 active magazine, and speaks out on many, many issues. 03:17:06.040 --> 03:17:11.720 And inside the issue of February-March 1989, and I know we'll show this to the 03:17:11.720 --> 03:17:18.240 people, there's an article in there that I would like to share with our people that I 03:17:18.240 --> 03:17:23.240 think holds just powerful weight to the things that we've been trying to expose in 03:17:23.240 --> 03:17:24.300 the NLP area. 03:17:24.920 --> 03:17:25.140 Show us. 03:17:25.140 --> 03:17:30.740 Now, I'm purposely not going to say who this is, but we'll just tell the story and 03:17:30.740 --> 03:17:32.540 pick up on who it is later, okay? 03:17:32.720 --> 03:17:34.260 You mean who the story is about. 03:17:34.880 --> 03:17:35.940 Is about, that's right. 03:17:36.640 --> 03:17:43.120 We have to go back to New Jersey of 1950, and this man that we're talking about was 03:17:43.120 --> 03:17:44.020 born in New Jersey. 03:17:44.520 --> 03:17:48.020 In his school days, by the time he got into high school, he'd moved out to 03:17:48.020 --> 03:17:50.360 Sunnyvale, California, and that's my old stomping ground, John. 03:17:50.360 --> 03:17:53.640 I was born in San Jose and raised in Sacramento, and actually worked in 03:17:53.640 --> 03:17:54.600 Sunnyvale for a time. 03:17:55.080 --> 03:17:58.180 That's known now to most people as the Silicon Valley. 03:18:00.340 --> 03:18:03.200 This young man had a real restless childhood. 03:18:03.320 --> 03:18:07.920 He didn't make friends easily, and he had a language deficiency that 03:18:07.920 --> 03:18:10.060 didn't make things very easy on him at all. 03:18:10.600 --> 03:18:14.040 He was not exactly an outcast, but he was a loner for sure. 03:18:14.200 --> 03:18:15.760 Just didn't have many friends. 03:18:16.940 --> 03:18:22.160 One of his aspirations in life was he dreamed that one day he would be able to 03:18:22.160 --> 03:18:24.260 play the drums like Buddy Rich. 03:18:25.040 --> 03:18:31.580 And he practiced, except that his aspirations seemed to be more than his 03:18:31.580 --> 03:18:34.960 actual talent, and he never did achieve that type of stardom. 03:18:35.260 --> 03:18:41.760 But he did learn the drums well enough that he was asked by a man to teach his 03:18:41.760 --> 03:18:44.040 son how to play the drums. 03:18:44.040 --> 03:18:46.520 And this man would later mold his life. 03:18:47.040 --> 03:18:50.680 The man's name was Robert Spitzer, who was a psychiatrist at the time, 03:18:50.800 --> 03:18:56.600 and quickly became a father figure to this young man who had very few friends in 03:18:56.600 --> 03:18:56.880 life. 03:18:57.560 --> 03:19:03.860 And he willingly lit this young man all of his books on psychology. 03:19:04.820 --> 03:19:07.940 This seemed to be his niche in life. 03:19:08.040 --> 03:19:09.420 He started devouring his books. 03:19:09.820 --> 03:19:12.760 He really took to it like a fish to water, as the saying goes. 03:19:13.380 --> 03:19:20.520 Now, Terry, do I need to remind our people that even though they don't know who this 03:19:20.520 --> 03:19:25.840 individual is, to pay close attention to the history of this man. 03:19:26.240 --> 03:19:29.880 Because when they get to the end of this story and find out who this man is, 03:19:30.580 --> 03:19:31.440 it's going to blow them away. 03:19:32.760 --> 03:19:34.540 I'm glad you brought that up too, John. 03:19:34.640 --> 03:19:40.180 Because one thing I need to stress is folks will definitely want to get the 03:19:40.180 --> 03:19:40.980 documentation pack up. 03:19:41.060 --> 03:19:45.720 Because we will include in its entirety this story out of the magazine in its 03:19:45.720 --> 03:19:47.600 completeness, along with pictures. 03:19:49.060 --> 03:19:53.340 So anyway, Spitzer, the psychiatrist who had kind of taken this young man in, 03:19:53.660 --> 03:19:59.240 also introduced him to a pioneer family therapist by the name of Virginia Satcher. 03:19:59.380 --> 03:20:01.120 And we'll get back to her just a little bit later. 03:20:01.120 --> 03:20:05.100 And we'll show you how she ties into all this NLP stuff. 03:20:05.460 --> 03:20:11.780 Her messages of self-love and acceptance just seemed to really hit his heart, 03:20:11.860 --> 03:20:12.840 something he really needed. 03:20:12.980 --> 03:20:14.640 And they became quick friends as well. 03:20:14.920 --> 03:20:19.120 And she kind of took him under her wing in sort of a maternal way. 03:20:20.340 --> 03:20:28.640 After the young man graduated from high school in 1968, he enrolled in a nearby 03:20:28.640 --> 03:20:33.000 junior college and took philosophy. 03:20:33.520 --> 03:20:35.140 He was very interested in that. 03:20:36.520 --> 03:20:38.720 And the thing, this is where he started to blossom. 03:20:38.960 --> 03:20:43.440 Because in the environment of philosophy, he was able to freely speak his mind and 03:20:43.440 --> 03:20:44.620 he really enjoyed this. 03:20:44.620 --> 03:20:48.260 For the first time in his life, he wasn't afraid to just speak right out 03:20:48.260 --> 03:20:50.860 because this was the atmosphere that the environment had created. 03:20:53.400 --> 03:20:58.740 He had moved by now, in the middle of this course, to the hills of Santa Cruz, 03:20:58.820 --> 03:21:00.920 California, which is another place I used to go all the time. 03:21:00.980 --> 03:21:03.540 There at the boardwalk and surfing and so forth. 03:21:03.620 --> 03:21:07.020 So I'm very much familiar with the kind of mindset that people have there. 03:21:07.060 --> 03:21:07.720 It's pretty open. 03:21:08.540 --> 03:21:13.820 The grassroots of a lot of the drug, kind of like Haight-Ashbury. 03:21:13.820 --> 03:21:17.840 That's what Santa Cruz also imbibed in that era. 03:21:18.620 --> 03:21:25.100 The people that knew this young man well still felt that he was not comfortable in 03:21:25.100 --> 03:21:25.420 the world. 03:21:25.780 --> 03:21:26.720 That's how they put him. 03:21:27.180 --> 03:21:28.300 That he was just kind of a loner. 03:21:29.020 --> 03:21:32.840 Even though he would speak his mind in certain environments, he wouldn't attach 03:21:32.840 --> 03:21:33.640 himself to people. 03:21:33.700 --> 03:21:34.560 Didn't fit in. 03:21:34.600 --> 03:21:36.240 No, he just didn't quite fit in. 03:21:37.120 --> 03:21:42.320 He did have some talent, though, in the area of communication. 03:21:43.220 --> 03:21:50.680 And found out right away that he had a profound impact by what he was learning. 03:21:51.120 --> 03:21:58.660 Not only the community, but the therapists that were beginning to understand what he 03:21:58.660 --> 03:21:59.320 was getting into. 03:21:59.320 --> 03:22:06.640 And they felt that what he was doing would have a lot of beneficial... 03:22:09.320 --> 03:22:13.120 Well, just a lot of benefits to their way of thinking. 03:22:13.500 --> 03:22:18.260 Now, one thing that he did have, which was very uncanny, was that he could 03:22:18.260 --> 03:22:21.780 mimic people with an uncanny accuracy. 03:22:22.140 --> 03:22:23.660 He could just watch what they did. 03:22:23.860 --> 03:22:25.400 He could match their voice tones. 03:22:25.880 --> 03:22:26.400 Impersonate? 03:22:26.400 --> 03:22:31.020 Kind of like Rich Little or some of these impressionists, that they can copy the 03:22:31.020 --> 03:22:31.340 person. 03:22:31.740 --> 03:22:36.720 Their syntax, their tone of voice, their mannerisms to where you almost swear 03:22:36.720 --> 03:22:37.820 that that's the person themselves. 03:22:38.080 --> 03:22:38.320 Absolutely. 03:22:38.740 --> 03:22:41.140 Their voice structure, their mannerisms. 03:22:42.040 --> 03:22:49.480 It was similar to, like you might see, a young man who has not too much in life, 03:22:49.540 --> 03:22:51.620 but all of a sudden he's a prodigy of music. 03:22:51.980 --> 03:22:55.480 So he had a real talent in this area of being able to mimic people. 03:22:55.480 --> 03:22:57.120 It just flowed out of him. 03:22:57.540 --> 03:22:57.540 Natural. 03:23:00.220 --> 03:23:07.520 In 1970, this man decided that psychology had become such a great love to him that 03:23:07.520 --> 03:23:10.160 he enrolled at the University of California at Santa Cruz. 03:23:10.880 --> 03:23:15.760 And although he wasn't interested in self-discovery, as most psychology kind of 03:23:15.760 --> 03:23:24.080 teaches, he liked to use his knowledge that he had that came from Virginia Sater 03:23:24.080 --> 03:23:29.780 and also Fritz Perls to lead the guest talk groups, which were groups that would 03:23:29.780 --> 03:23:34.460 get in circles and discover their own needs, look to the inner self, 03:23:34.740 --> 03:23:36.940 and try to look for answers inside their own minds. 03:23:37.040 --> 03:23:38.620 Now who are these people you just mentioned? 03:23:38.680 --> 03:23:39.700 You just mentioned their names. 03:23:39.860 --> 03:23:40.920 Who are these people? 03:23:40.920 --> 03:23:46.040 Virginia Sater was a leading family therapist at the time. 03:23:46.180 --> 03:23:47.780 What are the years? 03:23:48.280 --> 03:23:49.920 This was in 1970s. 03:23:50.980 --> 03:23:56.600 And then Fritz Perls was one of the people that founded the guest talk groups, 03:23:57.060 --> 03:23:57.720 which was... 03:23:57.720 --> 03:23:58.580 Group therapy. 03:23:59.080 --> 03:24:02.300 ...and was becoming very prevalent around 1970s. 03:24:02.400 --> 03:24:03.560 Yes, I do remember that. 03:24:03.560 --> 03:24:09.960 Now this is also where he met, at the University of Santa Cruz, 03:24:10.040 --> 03:24:15.720 a professor that took a very liking to the young man, because there was a chemistry 03:24:15.720 --> 03:24:17.060 there that was kind of unique. 03:24:17.480 --> 03:24:23.080 And the professor's name was Richard, excuse me, John Grinder was his name. 03:24:23.140 --> 03:24:28.980 And I'm sure that probably people know at least John Grinder has a lot to do with 03:24:28.980 --> 03:24:29.420 NLP. 03:24:29.600 --> 03:24:30.140 Of course. 03:24:32.700 --> 03:24:41.320 Those who had kind of taken this kind of mindset with the professor, and John 03:24:41.320 --> 03:24:46.560 Grinder, and Virginia Sater, and Fritz Perls, and these type of people in the 03:24:46.560 --> 03:24:53.140 immediate area, all kind of gravitated to this... 03:24:53.980 --> 03:24:57.640 Well, actually it was a property that used to be a nudist colony. 03:24:57.640 --> 03:25:04.560 And then the Robert Spitzer took it and turned it into a commune for these 03:25:04.560 --> 03:25:13.260 intellects, where they could come and stay and just do this mind blazing trails, 03:25:14.000 --> 03:25:17.660 just get their heads together and try to sort these things out and perfect their 03:25:17.660 --> 03:25:18.820 techniques and so forth. 03:25:18.860 --> 03:25:19.720 Techniques of what? 03:25:19.840 --> 03:25:20.420 How to... 03:25:20.420 --> 03:25:21.440 How to get in... 03:25:21.440 --> 03:25:22.940 How people's mind works. 03:25:23.080 --> 03:25:23.780 Ah, okay. 03:25:23.820 --> 03:25:24.340 How they work. 03:25:24.380 --> 03:25:26.340 And they really got into this for a few years. 03:25:28.960 --> 03:25:33.160 Those at the commune that remembered this man that we're talking about, they 03:25:33.160 --> 03:25:36.320 remembered him as a very intense person and very temperamental. 03:25:36.440 --> 03:25:41.080 He had a hot temper and he would at certain times really explode. 03:25:41.900 --> 03:25:45.200 And matter of fact, it wasn't too long after he moved to the commune that the 03:25:45.200 --> 03:25:49.240 people on it asked Spitzer, the owner, to have him removed. 03:25:50.020 --> 03:25:51.140 Because he was such a violent person? 03:25:51.160 --> 03:25:52.260 Because he was a violent person. 03:25:52.820 --> 03:25:56.160 But Spitzer refused because he knew his background. 03:25:56.520 --> 03:25:59.280 So Spitzer was the one that was in charge of this commune that had been a former 03:25:59.280 --> 03:25:59.860 nudist colony. 03:25:59.980 --> 03:26:00.160 He owned it. 03:26:00.160 --> 03:26:03.180 He was now getting these people together to figure out how the mind worked. 03:26:03.320 --> 03:26:03.680 Absolutely. 03:26:03.840 --> 03:26:04.520 He owned it. 03:26:05.000 --> 03:26:09.400 Also, it was at this time that the young man that we're talking about started to 03:26:09.400 --> 03:26:10.780 brag about his heavy use of cocaine. 03:26:11.500 --> 03:26:12.720 So he was a heavy coke user? 03:26:13.160 --> 03:26:13.920 Yes, he was. 03:26:14.000 --> 03:26:14.820 Very heavy coke user. 03:26:14.960 --> 03:26:15.940 And a drinker as well. 03:26:16.720 --> 03:26:22.380 Now, while at the commune, Professor Grinder and this man started an intensive 03:26:22.380 --> 03:26:26.140 study hoping to understand the techniques of linguistics. 03:26:27.400 --> 03:26:28.680 And how... 03:26:28.680 --> 03:26:29.000 Both... 03:26:29.620 --> 03:26:30.840 What are linguistics, Terry? 03:26:31.280 --> 03:26:33.040 Well, linguistics are... 03:26:33.040 --> 03:26:33.840 Has to do with language. 03:26:33.880 --> 03:26:36.000 The professional use of language. 03:26:36.100 --> 03:26:36.340 Yes. 03:26:36.600 --> 03:26:36.920 Right. 03:26:37.080 --> 03:26:41.800 Very technical type dissection of how voice tones are used. 03:26:41.800 --> 03:26:46.640 And also, not only just linguistics, but the non-verbal use of body posture. 03:26:47.200 --> 03:26:50.440 And they got their heads together and this was their... 03:26:51.320 --> 03:26:53.440 This was their child, their brain child. 03:26:53.600 --> 03:26:55.600 And they focused completely on this. 03:26:57.540 --> 03:27:03.800 They also, at this time, met... These two men met... 03:27:04.400 --> 03:27:05.800 The renowned psychiatrist... 03:27:06.900 --> 03:27:09.560 Psychiatrist, hypnosis, Milton Erickson. 03:27:09.800 --> 03:27:11.580 And they began to study with him as well. 03:27:11.580 --> 03:27:14.220 Milton Erickson, we talked about that on our first NLP video. 03:27:14.320 --> 03:27:15.980 Bill Loveless talked about him, didn't he? 03:27:16.120 --> 03:27:16.260 Yes. 03:27:16.520 --> 03:27:19.280 So, here you have the professor of psychology. 03:27:19.860 --> 03:27:24.040 You have John Grinder, one of the co-founders of NLP. 03:27:24.280 --> 03:27:26.140 You have this other young man that we're talking about. 03:27:26.500 --> 03:27:29.560 And you have Milton Erickson, they're all together, getting their heads together, 03:27:29.660 --> 03:27:30.900 trying to work out. 03:27:31.200 --> 03:27:35.020 You have the professor of linguistics, non-verbal communication with body 03:27:35.020 --> 03:27:35.420 posture. 03:27:35.420 --> 03:27:38.520 And the top dog of hypnosis. 03:27:38.940 --> 03:27:43.620 All coming together, trying to work these techniques out in order to become what we 03:27:43.620 --> 03:27:44.340 would call... 03:27:45.120 --> 03:27:47.860 Magicians of the therapy in the mind field. 03:27:47.960 --> 03:27:49.020 That's what they were doing. 03:27:49.660 --> 03:27:51.720 And I have to say, it is a mind field, John. 03:27:51.840 --> 03:27:52.740 Hey, man, I... 03:27:52.740 --> 03:27:53.180 I get it. 03:27:53.280 --> 03:27:53.840 M-I-N-E? 03:27:53.900 --> 03:27:54.280 Yes. 03:27:55.300 --> 03:27:56.500 This quickly generated... 03:27:56.940 --> 03:27:59.420 As they were perfecting their techniques... 03:28:00.020 --> 03:28:04.320 Quickly generated into an enormous amount of interest in their own community, 03:28:04.420 --> 03:28:05.220 professional community. 03:28:06.380 --> 03:28:10.900 And this would be the community of humanistic psychology. 03:28:11.900 --> 03:28:16.020 And they took what was now known as neuro-linguistic programming on the road. 03:28:16.120 --> 03:28:19.620 They decided that they were ready to take it on the road. 03:28:19.880 --> 03:28:23.280 Start bringing people together and charging enormous sums of money. 03:28:23.860 --> 03:28:28.660 Matter of fact, at this time, the young man was starting to charge upwards to 03:28:28.660 --> 03:28:30.000 $4,000 a day. 03:28:30.420 --> 03:28:32.020 So he's making big money now with it. 03:28:32.160 --> 03:28:33.020 Big bucks. 03:28:33.020 --> 03:28:38.020 He started accumulating properties both here in the United States... 03:28:38.920 --> 03:28:41.360 And I guess Hawaii is also part of the United States, but I think of it as an 03:28:41.360 --> 03:28:41.540 island. 03:28:42.360 --> 03:28:44.020 And on the islands over there... 03:28:44.800 --> 03:28:47.380 By giving these seminars in... what? 03:28:47.500 --> 03:28:48.120 Mind control? 03:28:48.560 --> 03:28:50.280 Mind control, NLP, right? 03:28:50.400 --> 03:28:51.060 Mind control. 03:28:51.600 --> 03:28:53.420 What the audiences... 03:28:53.420 --> 03:29:00.880 What actually brought them to this young fellow was that he was very stimulating. 03:29:01.640 --> 03:29:05.220 They saw them as being irreverent, very funny. 03:29:05.580 --> 03:29:09.800 They were very outspoken in their criticism toward the traditional therapy. 03:29:10.320 --> 03:29:12.380 During this time, is he still taking cocaine? 03:29:12.560 --> 03:29:14.280 Is he a heavy coke user during all this? 03:29:14.340 --> 03:29:15.120 We're going to get into that. 03:29:15.660 --> 03:29:17.140 Of course, the people didn't know that. 03:29:17.360 --> 03:29:18.600 But yes, very much so. 03:29:18.660 --> 03:29:21.900 He was heavily into... a heavy drug user into cocaine. 03:29:22.160 --> 03:29:22.640 Absolutely. 03:29:22.860 --> 03:29:23.900 Being his drug of preference. 03:29:24.240 --> 03:29:24.580 Absolutely. 03:29:25.100 --> 03:29:28.740 Another thing that they absolutely delighted in doing was confusing their 03:29:28.740 --> 03:29:29.340 audiences. 03:29:29.340 --> 03:29:34.060 And they would tell their people out and out that what we're about to tell you is a 03:29:34.060 --> 03:29:34.580 pack of lies. 03:29:34.660 --> 03:29:35.200 They would just tell them. 03:29:35.460 --> 03:29:38.140 They just absolutely loved to just shock their audiences. 03:29:38.920 --> 03:29:41.580 And taunt them with the fact that they were being manipulated and lied to. 03:29:41.940 --> 03:29:42.340 Absolutely. 03:29:42.700 --> 03:29:48.640 And what is kind of... well, for a better word, maybe twisted or warped about the 03:29:48.640 --> 03:29:51.520 human mind is the carnal nature. 03:29:51.620 --> 03:29:54.540 And I have to say, I'm the same way if I don't keep my eyes on Jesus. 03:29:55.260 --> 03:29:58.120 Our minds are so twisted, we kind of gravitate to that stuff. 03:29:58.120 --> 03:30:01.640 I mean, you know, if we think it's weird and strange, it's weirder and stranger, 03:30:01.740 --> 03:30:02.800 the more we want to go see it. 03:30:03.320 --> 03:30:05.440 You know, and so these people just started pouring in. 03:30:07.440 --> 03:30:11.580 Although they weren't therapists, actually, didn't have any PhDs in the area 03:30:11.580 --> 03:30:12.020 at all. 03:30:12.220 --> 03:30:16.220 They started treating clients and calling themselves doctors. 03:30:16.700 --> 03:30:21.480 And in their periodicals and books that they wrote, called themselves doctors all 03:30:21.480 --> 03:30:21.780 the time. 03:30:21.800 --> 03:30:24.560 And when there was a question about that, they would just slough that off on their 03:30:24.560 --> 03:30:27.920 audiences and say, Well, those people called us doctors, and so we just go along 03:30:27.920 --> 03:30:28.440 with the flow. 03:30:30.240 --> 03:30:35.880 The man that we're talking about quickly developed quite a reputation for being 03:30:35.880 --> 03:30:37.300 able to read people very quickly. 03:30:37.780 --> 03:30:41.220 He could see how you were, hear your voice structure, your tones, your body 03:30:41.220 --> 03:30:41.540 movements. 03:30:41.600 --> 03:30:44.300 And very quickly, he could get right into your head. 03:30:44.900 --> 03:30:50.000 And the people were absolutely fascinated by his talent. 03:30:51.460 --> 03:30:55.980 He was the type of person and had the type of personality that could put a person at 03:30:55.980 --> 03:30:58.820 ease almost immediately or scare you to death. 03:30:59.460 --> 03:31:00.980 He could do anything he wanted to with you. 03:31:01.100 --> 03:31:03.380 It was like, you'd be like a yo-yo on a string. 03:31:03.520 --> 03:31:06.420 He could wind you around, throw you in the air, toss you off the walls. 03:31:06.480 --> 03:31:09.100 He had the ability to control people against their will. 03:31:09.480 --> 03:31:09.880 Absolute. 03:31:10.220 --> 03:31:15.420 He dazzled his audiences with his agile mind, his quick wit, his skill as a... 03:31:15.420 --> 03:31:16.560 A hypnosis and a healer. 03:31:16.600 --> 03:31:17.740 And I thought that was very... 03:31:17.740 --> 03:31:18.300 Very significant. 03:31:18.360 --> 03:31:18.980 Very significant. 03:31:19.460 --> 03:31:23.000 Because we've said on the videos in the past that we'll be seeing healing in the 03:31:23.000 --> 03:31:23.280 church. 03:31:23.480 --> 03:31:23.580 Yes. 03:31:23.700 --> 03:31:25.760 And we said that before we knew about NLP. 03:31:26.260 --> 03:31:27.620 And now we're saying it even harder. 03:31:27.840 --> 03:31:27.980 Yes. 03:31:27.980 --> 03:31:31.200 And I praise the Lord that he's vindicating his name... 03:31:31.340 --> 03:31:31.920 ...in all of this. 03:31:32.680 --> 03:31:39.380 As the story goes, anyway, the therapist, after they were taking a closer look at 03:31:39.380 --> 03:31:44.340 the NLP techniques, they were all very much interested in handling this material. 03:31:44.920 --> 03:31:48.400 Incorporating it into the professional community of what they did. 03:31:48.400 --> 03:31:51.100 And now very much so across the United States. 03:31:51.260 --> 03:31:53.660 And actually these folks are traveling around the world now. 03:31:54.560 --> 03:31:55.400 It has been... 03:31:56.160 --> 03:31:58.920 And we've showed some of this in Loma Linda. 03:31:59.220 --> 03:32:03.120 It's being used in the medical society because it works. 03:32:04.780 --> 03:32:10.100 Like the New Age philosophy that he'd learned, he incorporated everything that 03:32:10.100 --> 03:32:16.620 he taught by using the therapy of constructed and reconstructed his own 03:32:16.620 --> 03:32:17.240 past. 03:32:17.240 --> 03:32:24.680 He would use NLP in his own past so many times to hide his own past that he 03:32:24.680 --> 03:32:27.220 himself, I believe, became confused about who he really was. 03:32:27.920 --> 03:32:30.320 And what he would do is he would tell stories. 03:32:31.200 --> 03:32:34.960 And the stories would go back into his past. 03:32:35.040 --> 03:32:40.360 He'd tell stories such as that he used to be a rock star. 03:32:41.300 --> 03:32:42.160 And he never was. 03:32:42.380 --> 03:32:43.480 But he would tell it just like he was. 03:32:43.480 --> 03:32:44.480 Couldn't even play the drums. 03:32:45.060 --> 03:32:46.060 No, he tried. 03:32:46.060 --> 03:32:47.900 But he could. 03:32:48.260 --> 03:32:52.120 He would also tell stories that he owned a topless bar at age 16 and became a 03:32:52.120 --> 03:32:53.180 millionaire at age 18. 03:32:53.660 --> 03:32:54.600 And none of that was true. 03:32:55.260 --> 03:32:56.420 This is what he was telling his audiences? 03:32:56.580 --> 03:32:56.960 Oh, yes. 03:32:57.040 --> 03:33:01.860 He was telling them as a professional that that's his background, see, to get the 03:33:01.860 --> 03:33:03.260 power on his side. 03:33:03.860 --> 03:33:08.260 He reconstructed stories so often, John, he would go back into his own mind 03:33:08.260 --> 03:33:10.280 and do what they call reframing. 03:33:10.520 --> 03:33:11.740 Reframe his own background. 03:33:11.880 --> 03:33:13.520 He'd become anybody he wanted to become. 03:33:13.520 --> 03:33:20.620 Another thing that's very important to know about this young man is that the 03:33:20.620 --> 03:33:25.260 power of NLP gives a person the ability to take the guilt of something that you might 03:33:25.260 --> 03:33:29.240 have done in your past and slough it off by reframing your past so that you really 03:33:29.240 --> 03:33:29.880 didn't do that. 03:33:30.800 --> 03:33:31.520 Understand what I'm saying? 03:33:32.060 --> 03:33:34.060 And this is what he did quite often. 03:33:35.100 --> 03:33:36.580 And in his own mind. 03:33:36.600 --> 03:33:37.600 That's what reframing is all about, isn't it? 03:33:37.600 --> 03:33:38.980 That's exactly what it's all about. 03:33:39.360 --> 03:33:44.700 He also told stories that he had a black belt in karate and having discussed pain 03:33:44.700 --> 03:33:46.800 control for the CIA and the army. 03:33:47.040 --> 03:33:47.460 What control? 03:33:48.080 --> 03:33:48.820 Pain control. 03:33:49.040 --> 03:33:50.000 Oh, pain control. 03:33:50.100 --> 03:33:50.720 Pain control. 03:33:51.400 --> 03:33:55.340 He told his audiences that he went to the CIA and discussed pain control with them 03:33:55.340 --> 03:34:00.820 and also the army and purportedly to prove his power. 03:34:00.820 --> 03:34:07.340 They had taken an agent out of the CIA and put an ice pit clear through the guy's 03:34:07.340 --> 03:34:09.840 hand to prove that NLP really worked. 03:34:10.180 --> 03:34:11.840 And he never flinched? 03:34:12.100 --> 03:34:13.080 No, never flinched. 03:34:13.980 --> 03:34:19.480 It was on Saturday morning, February 1984, when suddenly, almost magically, 03:34:19.960 --> 03:34:21.740 he produced a pistol. 03:34:22.600 --> 03:34:27.980 While on stage in front of an audience, right between the eyes of a psychiatrist 03:34:27.980 --> 03:34:29.300 who had volunteered to come up. 03:34:30.200 --> 03:34:33.420 He took out this revolver and just pointed it right at the guy. 03:34:34.440 --> 03:34:40.060 And the point that he was trying to make was that anyone can change if he has the 03:34:40.060 --> 03:34:40.700 right stimulus. 03:34:42.520 --> 03:34:45.720 And the volunteer had said, the psychiatrist had disagreed with him, 03:34:45.820 --> 03:34:45.900 say. 03:34:46.940 --> 03:34:49.440 And here's the quote out of the magazine. 03:34:50.160 --> 03:34:53.600 This is the man talking now that's giving the NLP. 03:34:53.800 --> 03:34:57.300 He says, remember, he's got this gun pointed at this psychiatrist, real live 03:34:57.300 --> 03:34:57.600 gun. 03:34:58.280 --> 03:35:03.520 I've got news for you, he taunted, you've got no idea how nuts I am. 03:35:04.060 --> 03:35:10.800 How many people have one, talking about the gun, in their pocket, waiting for you? 03:35:12.620 --> 03:35:15.520 And you're going to tell me that I won't do it? 03:35:16.020 --> 03:35:16.600 He laughed. 03:35:17.740 --> 03:35:22.480 I don't have to kill you, I just have to wound you, he added. 03:35:22.980 --> 03:35:25.480 I've done weirder things to my clients. 03:35:25.480 --> 03:35:31.580 You didn't know that this was going to be real, did you? 03:35:32.320 --> 03:35:36.720 Now, can you imagine sitting there, this guy's got a loaded weapon in his 03:35:36.720 --> 03:35:37.020 hand. 03:35:37.340 --> 03:35:40.900 Pointing it right between your eyes and being just dead serious with you. 03:35:41.240 --> 03:35:45.740 And he's already got this reputation of being weird and a reputation of violence. 03:35:46.640 --> 03:35:49.460 Well, of course, the psychiatrist was visibly shaken. 03:35:50.600 --> 03:35:54.480 And he said, yes, the change is possible. 03:35:54.480 --> 03:35:56.140 Of course, he succumbed, he surrendered. 03:35:56.840 --> 03:35:58.740 And this is when the other man said, absolutely. 03:35:59.740 --> 03:36:01.780 Otherwise, I would have shot you by now. 03:36:02.700 --> 03:36:05.740 You see, so he demonstrated, and the audience laughed. 03:36:06.120 --> 03:36:07.160 You see, big joke. 03:36:08.180 --> 03:36:13.660 And, of course, then he went on to tell the audience, and analyze the dynamics of 03:36:13.660 --> 03:36:14.780 the psychiatrist's terror. 03:36:14.920 --> 03:36:16.200 You see, it was all just a big gimmick. 03:36:16.400 --> 03:36:18.040 Of course, the psychiatrist didn't know that. 03:36:18.440 --> 03:36:23.080 He also told a story about how he had gotten a woman, who was afraid of heights, 03:36:23.080 --> 03:36:24.560 to sing. 03:36:24.940 --> 03:36:29.100 He got into her mind and analyzed that she was afraid of heights because of some 03:36:29.100 --> 03:36:29.400 reason. 03:36:29.560 --> 03:36:34.920 So, he got her to sing the Star-Spangled Banner, while walking over to the edge of 03:36:34.920 --> 03:36:40.180 a, I don't know how many stories it was, but a large building to take away her 03:36:40.180 --> 03:36:40.520 fear. 03:36:40.980 --> 03:36:45.340 Then one time, he also says that he had a schizophrenic in his office. 03:36:46.520 --> 03:36:48.680 And the schizophrenic thought he was Jesus Christ. 03:36:48.840 --> 03:36:50.180 This is the story in the article. 03:36:51.420 --> 03:36:56.860 And how he cured him was that this man built a cross, and told this man in all 03:36:56.860 --> 03:36:58.440 seriousness that he was going to crucify him. 03:36:59.760 --> 03:37:02.780 And, of course, the man, you know, was jarred out of that. 03:37:03.020 --> 03:37:05.200 So, you can see this man will go to any extreme. 03:37:05.920 --> 03:37:08.120 We are talking extremely kinky, weird guy. 03:37:08.540 --> 03:37:08.880 Absolutely. 03:37:10.240 --> 03:37:11.760 Totally controlled by the devil. 03:37:12.100 --> 03:37:15.220 On cocaine, drug user, do anything, violent. 03:37:15.560 --> 03:37:16.420 Okay, carry on. 03:37:16.940 --> 03:37:17.380 Absolutely. 03:37:17.780 --> 03:37:21.860 Well, by 1986, coming closer to home now, this man was divided. 03:37:22.000 --> 03:37:23.220 He was at war with his own soul. 03:37:23.320 --> 03:37:26.760 Like I said, he had gone so many times in the past, told so many lies. 03:37:27.180 --> 03:37:29.700 You know, and then justified his lies. 03:37:29.760 --> 03:37:31.160 They didn't even know who he was. 03:37:32.580 --> 03:37:36.020 He was living in a home built by his close friend. 03:37:36.060 --> 03:37:39.160 He finally got a close friend by the name of James Marino. 03:37:40.160 --> 03:37:42.020 He bought this home from his close friend. 03:37:42.540 --> 03:37:44.440 And he built this thing up like a fortress. 03:37:44.600 --> 03:37:47.160 I mean, it had eight foot high fences around it. 03:37:47.380 --> 03:37:48.600 Had a trained German shepherd. 03:37:49.140 --> 03:37:54.680 Had solid core doors on every room in the house with dead bolts. 03:37:55.060 --> 03:37:56.960 Now, by this time, he is making some heavy coin. 03:37:57.060 --> 03:37:58.160 This guy is making big money. 03:37:58.460 --> 03:37:58.740 Absolutely. 03:37:59.100 --> 03:38:02.380 Going around teaching these seminars, people had to get into other people's mind 03:38:02.380 --> 03:38:03.560 or what we know as NLP. 03:38:03.820 --> 03:38:04.180 Yes. 03:38:04.700 --> 03:38:10.080 He's got a small arsenal, several weapons, a semi-automatic weapon, knives in the 03:38:10.080 --> 03:38:10.380 house. 03:38:10.380 --> 03:38:16.240 He makes even his friends or his acquaintances or people that he knows that 03:38:16.240 --> 03:38:17.040 come over every time. 03:38:17.120 --> 03:38:19.900 They have to take a voice analysis before he'll let them come into the house. 03:38:20.240 --> 03:38:21.720 I mean, this guy is super paranoid. 03:38:23.560 --> 03:38:28.400 Even though married at this time, he has a mistress that his wife knows 03:38:28.400 --> 03:38:28.760 about. 03:38:29.180 --> 03:38:31.840 And he tells her that she must be tolerated or there'll be problems. 03:38:32.440 --> 03:38:35.180 And so, I mean, this guy is just into everything. 03:38:35.480 --> 03:38:37.520 Still using cocaine very heavily. 03:38:38.080 --> 03:38:42.960 Now, his close friend who he bought the house from, James Marino, had a 03:38:42.960 --> 03:38:43.260 girlfriend. 03:38:43.960 --> 03:38:45.420 Her name is Corrine Christensen. 03:38:46.220 --> 03:38:52.280 Corrine Christensen was a prostitute who ran a call girl service, exclusive call 03:38:52.280 --> 03:38:52.780 girl service. 03:38:53.420 --> 03:38:57.280 And even though she was 22 years younger than James Marino, he had such a 03:38:57.280 --> 03:38:59.600 personality that I guess she really fell in love with the guy. 03:39:00.260 --> 03:39:01.920 Was he using any of these techniques on her? 03:39:01.940 --> 03:39:02.460 Oh, absolutely. 03:39:02.460 --> 03:39:07.400 Because, you see, one of the reasons he had become the friend of the man that the 03:39:07.400 --> 03:39:12.120 story is about is because he liked the power that the man wielded. 03:39:12.180 --> 03:39:13.000 And he wanted some of it. 03:39:13.620 --> 03:39:17.660 James Marino had said that he had ties with the mafia. 03:39:18.180 --> 03:39:19.340 He was a cocaine dealer. 03:39:19.660 --> 03:39:21.600 So, you see the marriage that was being made there. 03:39:21.840 --> 03:39:24.020 This guy wanted power of mind control. 03:39:24.300 --> 03:39:26.140 The guy that we're talking about wanted cocaine. 03:39:26.560 --> 03:39:31.400 So, we have a real satanic, twisted marriage going on here between these two 03:39:31.400 --> 03:39:31.720 fellows. 03:39:33.780 --> 03:39:40.600 After, in the same year, at the end of the same year, 1986, Marino falls out of 03:39:40.600 --> 03:39:42.800 relationship with this gal and picks up another girlfriend. 03:39:43.240 --> 03:39:46.060 And is talking about moving to Florida, actually. 03:39:46.420 --> 03:39:49.720 And moving his cocaine business out to the states. 03:39:49.720 --> 03:39:51.140 So, he's selling cocaine. 03:39:51.740 --> 03:39:52.380 Oh, yes. 03:39:52.380 --> 03:39:52.800 He's a dealer. 03:39:54.000 --> 03:39:56.760 But, Corrine had something else in mind. 03:39:56.840 --> 03:39:59.000 She was still in love with the guy and she didn't want him to leave. 03:39:59.000 --> 03:40:06.200 And she persuaded him to take her to a Halloween party, which was on October... 03:40:06.200 --> 03:40:07.160 Let's see if I can get the date here. 03:40:07.220 --> 03:40:09.540 October 25th, 1986. 03:40:10.860 --> 03:40:13.200 And, which he did get talked into that. 03:40:13.620 --> 03:40:16.960 Now, not long after they went to this party, for no apparent reason, 03:40:17.040 --> 03:40:20.500 this big burly guy comes up to James Marino and just knocks his teeth out. 03:40:20.760 --> 03:40:22.400 Just absolutely attacks him. 03:40:22.800 --> 03:40:23.760 Knocks his teeth out. 03:40:24.380 --> 03:40:26.260 Puts a laceration under his right eye. 03:40:26.260 --> 03:40:29.140 And just, you know, halfway beats his brains out. 03:40:29.220 --> 03:40:30.100 Just knocks him silly. 03:40:31.280 --> 03:40:34.320 Corrine Christensen gathers him up, calls a taxi cab. 03:40:34.820 --> 03:40:36.620 Rushes him off to the emergency room. 03:40:36.880 --> 03:40:41.020 Gets him revived and then takes him to her apartment and nurses him for the next 03:40:41.020 --> 03:40:41.560 three days. 03:40:42.520 --> 03:40:45.240 Well, I guess the assault really had an effect on him. 03:40:45.740 --> 03:40:50.220 And he must have had a pretty bad concussion because he had real bouts of... 03:40:50.220 --> 03:40:53.540 During this time he had real bouts of tremendous headaches and dizziness. 03:40:53.540 --> 03:40:58.880 During this three day period at Corrine's house, with these headaches and bouts of 03:40:58.880 --> 03:41:03.380 dizziness, he conjured up in his mind that she was the one that had planned to get 03:41:03.380 --> 03:41:04.060 him beat up. 03:41:04.240 --> 03:41:06.140 And he became madder and madder and madder. 03:41:06.140 --> 03:41:10.540 This James Marino began to imagine that it was his... this prostitute... 03:41:11.460 --> 03:41:17.320 This ex-girlfriend, who is a prostitute, is the one that had conspired to have this 03:41:17.320 --> 03:41:18.580 big guy, was it at a bar? 03:41:18.940 --> 03:41:19.620 No, it was at a party. 03:41:19.700 --> 03:41:21.180 At a party to beat him up. 03:41:21.180 --> 03:41:25.240 And he began to, in his mind, imagine that she was the one that had done this. 03:41:25.520 --> 03:41:25.520 Right. 03:41:25.880 --> 03:41:27.660 That never was proven. 03:41:27.960 --> 03:41:31.120 Did he have anything to go on, or just what he cooked up in his mind? 03:41:31.120 --> 03:41:32.320 Just what he cooked up in his mind. 03:41:32.880 --> 03:41:38.360 And so, while she was gone one day, he left her apartment and went to the 03:41:38.360 --> 03:41:40.340 other girl that he was in love with now. 03:41:40.420 --> 03:41:41.600 And stayed with her for a few days. 03:41:41.600 --> 03:41:42.160 His present girlfriend. 03:41:42.160 --> 03:41:49.000 A few days later, on Saturday, November the 1st, 1986, Marino finds 03:41:49.000 --> 03:41:50.260 himself in a restaurant. 03:41:51.220 --> 03:41:54.560 And all of a sudden he has this big, big bout of dizziness. 03:41:54.660 --> 03:41:56.400 I mean, it's really, really on him. 03:41:56.660 --> 03:42:00.120 So he calls his friend, the man that we're talking about in the story here. 03:42:00.120 --> 03:42:01.340 The man that this whole story is about. 03:42:02.380 --> 03:42:04.600 Now, he didn't know anything about what happened to James Marino. 03:42:04.660 --> 03:42:07.900 Because this had only been about a week, and they hadn't seen each other. 03:42:07.900 --> 03:42:11.920 So he comes to the restaurant, meeting James Marino, not knowing anything 03:42:11.920 --> 03:42:12.980 had gone on. 03:42:13.020 --> 03:42:13.860 That's the previous fight. 03:42:13.980 --> 03:42:14.760 The previous fight. 03:42:14.840 --> 03:42:16.520 He walks in and looks at his friend. 03:42:17.160 --> 03:42:18.940 And later on, he would say his only friend. 03:42:19.060 --> 03:42:19.880 What happened to you? 03:42:19.920 --> 03:42:21.980 And man, I mean, it just hits him between the eyes. 03:42:22.120 --> 03:42:23.540 What had happened to you? 03:42:23.620 --> 03:42:24.340 His teeth are knocked out. 03:42:24.340 --> 03:42:27.880 His teeth are knocked out, his back is blue, he's like, you know, just sick and 03:42:27.880 --> 03:42:28.400 really bad. 03:42:28.780 --> 03:42:29.680 He's half dead, okay. 03:42:29.860 --> 03:42:33.780 So even though James Marino's voice was slurred and everything, he got out the 03:42:33.780 --> 03:42:36.960 story about what happened, and he put it on Corrine Christensen. 03:42:36.960 --> 03:42:40.320 Saying my ex-girlfriend was trying to get revenge for me breaking up with her, 03:42:40.360 --> 03:42:41.820 and she had this big guy beating me up. 03:42:41.900 --> 03:42:47.060 And he had no proof to say that, he just assumed that she was the one that 03:42:47.060 --> 03:42:47.740 was behind all this. 03:42:47.780 --> 03:42:48.120 Absolutely. 03:42:49.180 --> 03:42:53.660 So this man that we're telling the story about, he gets super angry. 03:42:54.200 --> 03:42:57.500 He goes to the nearest phone, and he calls Corrine Christensen. 03:42:58.140 --> 03:43:01.840 And he tells her, he says, I have a simple question to ask you. 03:43:02.260 --> 03:43:03.380 Who hurt my friend? 03:43:03.480 --> 03:43:04.520 Why is my friend hurt? 03:43:05.000 --> 03:43:08.420 Well, for whatever reason, she started evading the questions. 03:43:08.620 --> 03:43:11.740 You know, he's got this long track of violence, she's probably getting scared, 03:43:11.920 --> 03:43:12.460 I don't know. 03:43:12.940 --> 03:43:18.560 But, she starts evading his questions, and he says, okay, I've got two more 03:43:18.560 --> 03:43:22.440 questions to tell you, to ask you, until I blow your head off. 03:43:22.640 --> 03:43:23.560 That was what he told her. 03:43:23.740 --> 03:43:25.560 That was the last thing he told her on the phone. 03:43:26.000 --> 03:43:29.800 He goes back, gathers up Marino, and they end up at her apartment. 03:43:29.940 --> 03:43:30.680 Goes to her apartment. 03:43:31.220 --> 03:43:36.940 Now, this is where the testimony, the story, gets a little fuzzy, 03:43:37.160 --> 03:43:37.240 John. 03:43:37.940 --> 03:43:42.300 Because what happens is, this thing comes to trial. 03:43:43.420 --> 03:43:45.580 There's a reason it comes to trial, and we'll tell that in a minute. 03:43:46.280 --> 03:43:49.700 But, right now, we're going to give the testimony about what Marino says. 03:43:50.740 --> 03:43:54.120 Marino says that he and this man went to Corrine's house. 03:43:54.880 --> 03:43:59.440 When they got there, this man whips out a gun, a .357 Magnum. 03:44:00.280 --> 03:44:02.900 And holds it to the head of Corrine. 03:44:03.500 --> 03:44:05.600 And starts yelling all kinds of obscenities. 03:44:06.100 --> 03:44:10.240 And it was so bad that Marino thought he was going to be killed as well. 03:44:10.540 --> 03:44:13.380 He was scared, and he started looking for a way to get out. 03:44:13.700 --> 03:44:15.900 But it was a second apartment, a second story apartment. 03:44:16.280 --> 03:44:18.600 Everything was buttoned down tight, and he couldn't get out of the place. 03:44:19.180 --> 03:44:20.860 And so, he came back to the living room. 03:44:21.180 --> 03:44:25.500 Shortly after he came back to the living room, the gun goes off. 03:44:26.420 --> 03:44:28.980 And Corrine gets her brains blowed out. 03:44:29.440 --> 03:44:31.920 And she's down on the floor, blood all over the place. 03:44:33.440 --> 03:44:36.300 They leave, and the man... 03:44:36.300 --> 03:44:40.540 Okay, this is really gory, but it has great significance that our people 03:44:40.540 --> 03:44:44.320 understand this and the history of this man. 03:44:44.420 --> 03:44:45.540 And you'll tell them at the end why. 03:44:45.540 --> 03:44:46.180 I'm going to tell them. 03:44:46.880 --> 03:44:50.400 I can't stress enough that they've got to get this story in the information packet. 03:44:50.480 --> 03:44:53.540 It is crucial to the evidence that we've been uncovering. 03:44:55.900 --> 03:45:00.920 Nonetheless, Marino says that he and this man, the man took them to nearby Monterey. 03:45:01.000 --> 03:45:03.420 Now, Monterey is about 35 miles or so from Santa Cruz. 03:45:03.800 --> 03:45:09.000 They went to Monterey, and the man made Marino take the .357 Magum and throw it 03:45:09.000 --> 03:45:09.500 off a pier. 03:45:10.220 --> 03:45:15.020 Now, later on, the police do collaborate some of his story. 03:45:15.140 --> 03:45:17.900 They find the gun, they send divers down, they do find the gun. 03:45:18.380 --> 03:45:20.900 And there was a few other things that Marino had said that they were able to 03:45:20.900 --> 03:45:21.820 substantiate. 03:45:21.820 --> 03:45:25.260 There was a couple of things in his story, though, that was real hazy. 03:45:25.360 --> 03:45:27.940 And I'm not going to give all of those details because the people can read about 03:45:27.940 --> 03:45:28.180 it. 03:45:29.060 --> 03:45:30.740 And there's no sense in me telling all of it. 03:45:32.740 --> 03:45:35.680 Then, the other man that we've been talking about, they put him on the witness 03:45:35.680 --> 03:45:35.920 stand. 03:45:36.020 --> 03:45:42.420 Now, you know, John, that either through watching TV or a friend in court or 03:45:42.420 --> 03:45:47.080 whatever, that every time you go to court, the first thing they do is you have to 03:45:47.080 --> 03:45:49.580 raise your right hand, take the oath, and then they say, state your name. 03:45:50.100 --> 03:45:52.900 So, the other guy gets on and, of course, they ask him to state his name. 03:45:53.700 --> 03:45:54.780 You know what his name was, John? 03:45:55.760 --> 03:45:58.620 His name was Richard Bandler. 03:45:59.680 --> 03:46:01.880 The founder of NLP. 03:46:02.380 --> 03:46:03.100 Richard Bandler. 03:46:03.560 --> 03:46:05.600 The man that we've been uncovering all this time. 03:46:05.640 --> 03:46:09.120 You know, we said there were two founders, John Grinder and Richard Bandler. 03:46:09.220 --> 03:46:09.800 He's on all the books. 03:46:09.860 --> 03:46:12.400 He's on the first book, Frogs to Princesses, Transformation. 03:46:12.680 --> 03:46:13.640 This is the history of this man. 03:46:13.640 --> 03:46:20.100 This is the history, the life story of the father and founder of Neuro Linguistic 03:46:20.100 --> 03:46:21.060 Programming. 03:46:22.120 --> 03:46:23.200 God help us. 03:46:23.340 --> 03:46:28.860 Now, he gets on the stand and tells a little bit different story. 03:46:30.080 --> 03:46:31.780 I'm not going to tell you how the trial ends up. 03:46:31.860 --> 03:46:32.800 You have to read it for yourself. 03:46:33.380 --> 03:46:37.620 But, Terry, it's all printed and will be in the documentation packet. 03:46:37.880 --> 03:46:39.440 Show me some pictures out of this now. 03:46:39.840 --> 03:46:41.180 Let's see some pictures of Bandler. 03:46:41.180 --> 03:46:42.060 Well, let me see. 03:46:42.280 --> 03:46:44.260 I'll show you a couple of pictures. 03:46:44.620 --> 03:46:45.660 Read some quotes out of this. 03:46:45.820 --> 03:46:48.100 How many pages is this story? 03:46:48.120 --> 03:46:50.280 It's about six or seven pages. 03:46:50.300 --> 03:46:51.380 What's the name of the article? 03:46:52.080 --> 03:46:52.960 The Bandler Method. 03:46:53.240 --> 03:46:54.500 The Bandler Method. 03:46:54.800 --> 03:46:55.100 Right. 03:46:56.600 --> 03:46:57.840 Here's a copy. 03:46:58.980 --> 03:47:00.900 This is the one that they drew up. 03:47:01.800 --> 03:47:02.740 Maybe I can show it here. 03:47:03.600 --> 03:47:05.560 Might be a little better on camera. 03:47:05.560 --> 03:47:06.260 Richard Bandler. 03:47:06.460 --> 03:47:10.520 Notice he's got a brain in one hand and a gun in the other. 03:47:10.620 --> 03:47:12.180 And the blood splattered all over him. 03:47:13.000 --> 03:47:14.740 And then New Age Therapist. 03:47:15.300 --> 03:47:18.840 I mean, they even come out and say that Neuro Linguistic Programming is New Age. 03:47:19.040 --> 03:47:21.740 I mean, that's just common knowledge. 03:47:22.220 --> 03:47:26.320 New Age Therapist Richard Bandler believed that anyone could change with the right 03:47:26.320 --> 03:47:29.560 stimulus, even if that stimulus might be a gun. 03:47:30.340 --> 03:47:33.900 You have to remember that this magazine is not a New Age magazine. 03:47:33.900 --> 03:47:35.160 It doesn't purport to be New Age. 03:47:35.280 --> 03:47:40.200 Here is an actual picture of the father of Neuro Linguistic Programming that over 03:47:40.200 --> 03:47:44.040 2,000 Seventh-day Adventist ministers have been trained in. 03:47:44.600 --> 03:47:48.140 And hundreds have become instructors and trained other Seventh-day Adventist 03:47:48.140 --> 03:47:51.260 ministers, church members, church elders. 03:47:51.760 --> 03:47:56.560 By 1982, Richard Bandler was falling apart, drinking heavily and inhaling large 03:47:56.560 --> 03:47:57.540 amounts of cocaine. 03:47:58.060 --> 03:48:00.380 Still, he kept teaching NLP. 03:48:00.820 --> 03:48:01.660 We'll have to show the picture. 03:48:01.760 --> 03:48:02.540 It's impressive, isn't it? 03:48:02.540 --> 03:48:05.420 Oh, Terry, look at another quote from this article. 03:48:05.940 --> 03:48:09.020 Brains were his toys, Bandler liked to say. 03:48:09.300 --> 03:48:14.400 He compared humans to cars and computers and spoke of programming them. 03:48:15.120 --> 03:48:18.700 They loved to confuse audiences, flout convention. 03:48:19.100 --> 03:48:22.280 Everything we're going to tell you here is a lie, they said. 03:48:22.800 --> 03:48:25.640 Here, he's coming out of the courthouse alone. 03:48:25.840 --> 03:48:28.740 Oh, he's still teaching NLP. 03:48:31.460 --> 03:48:35.180 We're going to reprint this whole article and put it in the documentation packet. 03:48:35.300 --> 03:48:36.940 Our people have to see this word for word. 03:48:38.060 --> 03:48:42.000 It's the father and founder of neuro-linguistic programming that is being 03:48:42.000 --> 03:48:46.640 promoted more by the Seventh-day Adventist church than any other church on the face 03:48:46.640 --> 03:48:47.140 of the earth. 03:48:47.460 --> 03:48:49.280 And this is the founder and father of it. 03:48:49.360 --> 03:48:50.160 Right there, folks. 03:48:50.480 --> 03:48:54.320 I mean, this man is on the level of Charles Manson. 03:48:55.020 --> 03:48:58.720 And here we have this man, this founder and father of neuro-linguistic programming 03:48:59.340 --> 03:49:03.640 and do you really believe that our leadership will continue telling our 03:49:03.640 --> 03:49:08.540 people that somehow this is of God and that this founder and father of NLP, 03:49:08.740 --> 03:49:13.320 Richard Bandler, John Grinder, that this somehow can be taken out of this 03:49:13.320 --> 03:49:18.400 satanic foundation and make something holy out of it? 03:49:18.460 --> 03:49:20.060 You know what scares me, John? 03:49:21.020 --> 03:49:27.520 What scares me is that we get these ideas that when a person is being possessed by 03:49:27.520 --> 03:49:34.320 the devil, he's got to be something like a poltergeist or out of the exorcist or 03:49:34.320 --> 03:49:36.000 something, something really ugly and strange. 03:49:36.280 --> 03:49:37.040 Not necessarily. 03:49:37.620 --> 03:49:40.960 The devil comes in and possesses people and makes them look real intellectual. 03:49:41.220 --> 03:49:44.820 He himself is an intellectual, only second to the Godhead. 03:49:45.420 --> 03:49:46.760 And this is what he's doing. 03:49:46.860 --> 03:49:51.900 He's giving these people that have these strange backgrounds, these backgrounds of 03:49:51.900 --> 03:49:57.860 promiscuity, these backgrounds of heavy drug use, these backgrounds of violence, 03:49:58.780 --> 03:50:02.240 these backgrounds of mayhem and these sort of things. 03:50:02.340 --> 03:50:05.200 He's giving them intellectual knowledge and then using them in a professional 03:50:05.200 --> 03:50:09.580 society to gain control of the minds, not only of the people out there that 03:50:09.580 --> 03:50:13.220 don't care anything about God, but of our people inside our very church. 03:50:13.400 --> 03:50:16.280 We've just had an extensive interview with Bob Trans. 03:50:16.340 --> 03:50:22.760 He's traced all this, shown how all this ties in together with the conspiracy of 03:50:22.760 --> 03:50:26.440 the Roman Catholic Church to bring all Protestant churches back to the Mother 03:50:26.440 --> 03:50:31.840 Church, foremost the Seventh-day Adventist Church, how that these new-age techniques 03:50:31.840 --> 03:50:35.340 of NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, now you have shown our Adventist people, 03:50:35.620 --> 03:50:38.980 the founder and father of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, where it all comes from. 03:50:39.280 --> 03:50:40.660 This is absolutely mind-boggling. 03:50:40.760 --> 03:50:42.560 We've given our people so much information. 03:50:43.040 --> 03:50:46.000 I appreciate the research that you have done in bringing this to us, Terry. 03:50:46.240 --> 03:50:49.440 I don't know if you have anything in closing in dealing with this NLP, 03:50:49.600 --> 03:50:56.000 but I want you now to go into what is the update on what is going on in your old 03:50:56.000 --> 03:50:57.320 church at Shady Point, Oregon. 03:50:57.620 --> 03:51:01.460 Give us a quick tightening this... 03:51:02.800 --> 03:51:03.400 Recap it. 03:51:03.820 --> 03:51:04.740 That's the word I want. 03:51:04.920 --> 03:51:09.820 To cap this story of Richard Bandler, the founder of NLP, and then get into the 03:51:09.820 --> 03:51:11.240 situation at Shady Point. 03:51:11.280 --> 03:51:14.240 Well, you know, we brought this book up on one of the other videos, Becoming a Master 03:51:14.240 --> 03:51:14.660 Student. 03:51:14.820 --> 03:51:15.300 Oh, yes. 03:51:15.540 --> 03:51:19.500 And we're going to show some footage of a couple of things that will help tie this 03:51:19.500 --> 03:51:19.940 all together. 03:51:19.940 --> 03:51:21.140 But in the back... 03:51:21.140 --> 03:51:23.600 We had a friend that said, Do you need to look at the back of the book? 03:51:24.200 --> 03:51:26.280 Look at the back of the book in the bibliography. 03:51:26.540 --> 03:51:27.640 Now, what's the bibliography? 03:51:27.680 --> 03:51:29.240 Give the definition for bibliography. 03:51:29.240 --> 03:51:32.800 Well, the bibliography, according to the dictionary in layman's terms, means 03:51:32.800 --> 03:51:37.800 anything that you would use from different authors to use as resource material. 03:51:37.940 --> 03:51:38.160 Yes. 03:51:38.520 --> 03:51:38.760 Okay? 03:51:39.080 --> 03:51:43.140 And so in the back of the Becoming a Master Student book, you have the 03:51:43.140 --> 03:51:46.740 bibliography that names the different authors and books that they used. 03:51:47.120 --> 03:51:49.240 Now, let's just make it real clear here. 03:51:50.160 --> 03:51:53.880 These books that are given under the bibliography in the back of Becoming a 03:51:53.880 --> 03:51:58.580 Master Student, which is taught at many of our colleges, and we have even found more 03:51:58.580 --> 03:52:02.880 colleges than what was listed on our original that are teaching from Becoming a 03:52:02.880 --> 03:52:08.900 Master Student, that this is the source material that was used to put together on 03:52:08.900 --> 03:52:09.800 Becoming a Master Student. 03:52:09.900 --> 03:52:10.280 Read it. 03:52:10.640 --> 03:52:16.100 Well, I've just got to tell you that the very second person listed is Richard 03:52:16.100 --> 03:52:17.220 Bandler. 03:52:17.920 --> 03:52:20.940 And John Grinder, who teaches Neurolinguistic Programming. 03:52:22.000 --> 03:52:29.600 So, this man right here, this sicko on the level with Charles Manson, that was the 03:52:29.600 --> 03:52:33.780 father and founder of Neurolinguistic Programming, was part of the source 03:52:33.780 --> 03:52:37.340 material that made up on Becoming a Master Student. 03:52:37.440 --> 03:52:42.460 Yes, and remember Virginia Sontag that I told you about, that took him under his 03:52:42.460 --> 03:52:44.780 arm and taught him some things? 03:52:45.060 --> 03:52:46.900 She's also one of the source material right here. 03:52:46.900 --> 03:52:48.260 She's also the source material. 03:52:49.940 --> 03:52:50.220 Okay. 03:52:50.580 --> 03:52:52.660 And we're going to show some footage on this that we have. 03:52:53.520 --> 03:52:58.160 But Kathy and I, you know that we're from Oregon, not anymore, but you're from 03:52:58.160 --> 03:52:59.060 Florida now. 03:52:59.720 --> 03:53:00.260 And glad to be. 03:53:00.820 --> 03:53:02.300 But we were in Oregon at the time. 03:53:02.860 --> 03:53:06.240 And in Oregon, there was a guru that came. 03:53:06.540 --> 03:53:09.180 And his name was the Bhagwan Rajneesh. 03:53:09.440 --> 03:53:12.660 Oh, everybody saw him and all his Rolls Royces. 03:53:12.900 --> 03:53:14.920 Yes, he had a hundred Rolls Royces. 03:53:19.940 --> 03:53:20.080 Yes, he did. 03:53:20.420 --> 03:53:21.240 Well, guess what? 03:53:21.720 --> 03:53:23.380 He's also used as one of the sources. 03:53:23.900 --> 03:53:24.700 And he's right here. 03:53:25.020 --> 03:53:28.720 And we're going to show the people some footage about what kind of mind control 03:53:28.720 --> 03:53:29.020 he's in. 03:53:29.080 --> 03:53:30.720 And I'm telling you, it is sick. 03:53:30.900 --> 03:53:39.240 Okay, you've got some video showing the commune, Bhagwan Rajneesh, and he is part 03:53:39.240 --> 03:53:41.880 of the source material that on Becoming a Master Student. 03:53:42.160 --> 03:53:51.360 So let's now view the home, Bhagwan Rajneesh, for Becoming a Master Student. 03:53:52.760 --> 03:53:57.460 Rajneesh is one of India's most controversial gurus, largely because of 03:53:57.460 --> 03:54:02.640 his endorsement of shocking sexual practices as a prerequisite for salvation. 03:54:07.470 --> 03:54:12.890 His brand of yoga, called dynamic meditation, is a new age combination of 03:54:12.890 --> 03:54:14.300 Hinduism and psychotherapies. 03:54:15.950 --> 03:54:19.750 This exercise, involving rigorous breathing and hyperventilation, 03:54:19.750 --> 03:54:26.390 is designed to arouse the serpent force, called kundalini, which the gurus believe 03:54:26.390 --> 03:54:28.710 lies coiled at the base of the spine. 03:54:37.970 --> 03:54:40.410 I did dynamic meditation every day. 03:54:40.790 --> 03:54:42.710 We also called it kundalini meditation. 03:54:43.710 --> 03:54:48.230 It starts off with a cathartic breathing, and the reason for it is just to move your 03:54:48.230 --> 03:54:52.730 energy and to get you out of your head and into your body, and you just breathe. 03:55:07.570 --> 03:55:11.850 The next phase, the screaming phase of dynamic meditation, feels like when you 03:55:11.850 --> 03:55:15.470 finally had an opportunity to throw a tantrum when you were a little kid. 03:55:43.440 --> 03:55:47.660 By the time you get to the third phase of jumping up and down and yelling hoo, 03:55:47.940 --> 03:55:52.280 you're hardly there at all, and so it's pretty hard to remember what happens when 03:55:52.280 --> 03:55:52.680 you're there. 03:55:53.680 --> 03:55:57.000 I guess the closest thing I can associate it with is mindlessness. 03:55:57.940 --> 03:56:00.860 You get to a place where your mind actually leaves your body. 03:56:01.720 --> 03:56:05.760 Your body's just jumping up and down and your voice from your gut is yelling hoo, 03:56:06.320 --> 03:56:07.920 and you're not doing it anymore. 03:56:21.770 --> 03:56:26.530 The next phase, someone yells stop, and you've just been doing 30 minutes of 03:56:26.530 --> 03:56:27.790 intense catharsis. 03:56:28.570 --> 03:56:32.590 And what happens after being in such incredibly intense movement for so long is 03:56:32.590 --> 03:56:35.110 just a feeling of peacefulness and stillness. 03:56:36.410 --> 03:56:42.210 My mind actually stops, and I feel a oneness with the whole universe. 03:56:44.750 --> 03:56:48.790 There have been glowing reports published giving credit to the gurus and their 03:56:48.790 --> 03:56:54.050 pseudo-psychological techniques, including to mention the thousands of 03:56:54.050 --> 03:57:01.210 cases of emotional and mental breakdowns, insanity, suicide, beatings, murder, 03:57:01.610 --> 03:57:05.490 rapes, going on in guru centers, various guru centers worldwide. 03:57:06.070 --> 03:57:09.990 It is alarming to realize these dangerous techniques for enlightenment are being 03:57:09.990 --> 03:57:15.510 incorporated in psychotherapies, self-help seminars, and are even being 03:57:15.510 --> 03:57:19.850 accepted in mainstream Protestant and Catholic churches and seminaries. 03:57:21.130 --> 03:57:23.050 Well, that was very interesting. 03:57:23.570 --> 03:57:27.590 I believe that our Adventist people are beginning to see things as they are. 03:57:27.950 --> 03:57:30.490 And if they can't, I don't know what more we can do, Terry. 03:57:30.710 --> 03:57:33.050 Well, like we've always said, video don't lie. 03:57:33.190 --> 03:57:36.790 And if the people just saw what was on the video, you have to literally be out of 03:57:36.790 --> 03:57:38.110 your mind to follow these guys. 03:57:38.110 --> 03:57:39.450 Just like those people were. 03:57:39.590 --> 03:57:39.950 That's right. 03:57:40.030 --> 03:57:40.430 Unbelievable. 03:57:40.730 --> 03:57:42.890 This is the source material. 03:57:43.150 --> 03:57:47.250 Instead of the Bible and the spirit of prophecy, this is the source material we 03:57:47.250 --> 03:57:51.890 are going to to train our students in our Seventh-day Adventist colleges. 03:57:52.130 --> 03:57:53.010 God help us. 03:57:53.110 --> 03:57:54.130 What have we become? 03:57:54.630 --> 03:57:57.710 See, we're not just going to Babylon and drinking out of their wells. 03:57:57.790 --> 03:57:58.710 No, this is worse than Babylon. 03:57:58.830 --> 03:58:01.050 We're going to the sewers of the occult. 03:58:01.070 --> 03:58:02.550 This is the sewer of the occult. 03:58:02.630 --> 03:58:03.150 I like it. 03:58:03.170 --> 03:58:04.230 That's exactly what it is. 03:58:04.690 --> 03:58:10.070 Instead of going to Babylon and the broken cisterns, we've gone to the sewers of the 03:58:10.070 --> 03:58:10.290 occult. 03:58:10.590 --> 03:58:11.610 And we're just drinking freely. 03:58:15.450 --> 03:58:16.190 What are you doing now in Shady Point? 03:58:16.350 --> 03:58:20.530 Well, I called one of my friends out there a couple of weeks back. 03:58:20.630 --> 03:58:25.730 And what has happened since we've left is, of course, they've stripped everybody that 03:58:25.730 --> 03:58:31.750 refused, because of their conscience, refused to prove that they were paying 03:58:31.750 --> 03:58:37.330 tithe to the local church, which would be Shady Point, and to the local conference. 03:58:37.510 --> 03:58:38.410 If you cannot... 03:58:38.410 --> 03:58:44.150 Now, you and Bob mentioned this earlier that you would have to show your checkbook 03:58:44.150 --> 03:58:47.350 to prove that you're paying the money to the church. 03:58:47.430 --> 03:58:48.650 That's one of the Catholic techniques. 03:58:48.650 --> 03:58:55.210 Well, this is exactly what Phil Dunham told me and Kathy. 03:58:55.370 --> 03:58:55.750 Exactly. 03:58:56.210 --> 03:58:57.130 As a matter of fact, I questioned him about it. 03:58:57.150 --> 03:58:57.930 I said, now, wait a minute. 03:58:58.990 --> 03:59:03.850 You're telling me that you will not take a Christian man's word, whether he's a tithe 03:59:03.850 --> 03:59:04.050 payer. 03:59:04.170 --> 03:59:08.150 I have to show you a receipt to prove what I'm saying. 03:59:08.230 --> 03:59:10.250 He said, that's right, or you cannot hold office in the church. 03:59:10.290 --> 03:59:11.230 This is a Catholic technique. 03:59:11.670 --> 03:59:13.210 Bob showed that it's right out of... 03:59:14.150 --> 03:59:15.510 The Catholic history of the... 03:59:15.510 --> 03:59:17.570 Methods that they use for control of the lady. 03:59:17.990 --> 03:59:22.970 Now, in that celebration number seven, video number seven, we saw Elder Phil 03:59:22.970 --> 03:59:26.130 Dunham had been sent down from the conference and it looked like that you all 03:59:26.130 --> 03:59:27.350 routed him pretty good. 03:59:27.890 --> 03:59:28.930 And left the next day. 03:59:28.990 --> 03:59:33.010 Yeah, but now you say, since you have left, that they have come in and have 03:59:33.010 --> 03:59:37.250 taken control and gotten out of office all the people who dared to stand against 03:59:37.250 --> 03:59:37.370 them. 03:59:37.430 --> 03:59:38.450 How did they do that, Terry? 03:59:38.570 --> 03:59:41.750 Well, they just stripped them and would not allow them to get up front or anything 03:59:41.750 --> 03:59:42.210 like that. 03:59:44.150 --> 03:59:45.110 How did they allow that to happen? 03:59:45.790 --> 03:59:47.570 Well, I'm not there, so I don't know. 03:59:48.430 --> 03:59:49.710 I will say this though. 03:59:50.190 --> 03:59:51.310 They went one step further. 03:59:51.510 --> 03:59:55.250 And I just got to say, they tried to do this in another class that I was in once 03:59:55.250 --> 03:59:56.350 before and I didn't let it happen. 03:59:56.430 --> 03:59:59.590 So I can say in all Christian conscience, I wouldn't have let it happen without a 03:59:59.590 --> 03:59:59.810 fight. 04:00:00.310 --> 04:00:01.110 And yet I'm not there. 04:00:01.350 --> 04:00:05.850 And I know the backgrounds of these people and they are doing the best they can under 04:00:05.850 --> 04:00:06.590 the circumstances. 04:00:06.690 --> 04:00:08.090 So I don't want to discourage them. 04:00:09.030 --> 04:00:10.930 But although I've got to encourage our people 04:00:14.530 --> 04:00:18.230 to stand for the truth that Jesus Christ has left us as Adventist people. 04:00:18.450 --> 04:00:21.250 Our prophet told us that this time would come, Terry. 04:00:21.450 --> 04:00:23.590 It's time for God's people to stand up. 04:00:24.090 --> 04:00:27.050 You know, 3RH 275, look what she says. 04:00:27.290 --> 04:00:33.030 If the cords are drawn much tighter, if the rules are made much finer, 04:00:33.670 --> 04:00:38.970 if men continue to bind their fellow laborers closer and closer to the 04:00:38.970 --> 04:00:45.390 commandments of men, many will be stirred by the Spirit of God to break every 04:00:45.390 --> 04:00:48.910 shackle and assert their liberty in Christ Jesus. 04:00:49.150 --> 04:00:50.850 That time is now. 04:00:51.050 --> 04:00:55.970 It's time now for God's people to stand up and to assert their liberty in Christ 04:00:55.970 --> 04:00:56.390 Jesus. 04:00:56.850 --> 04:00:59.950 That reminds me of what Bob read earlier about Luther. 04:01:00.090 --> 04:01:03.190 Call me anything you want, but I'm going forward if it's by myself. 04:01:03.670 --> 04:01:06.670 Not because we're prideful, not because we think we're anybody, but because we know 04:01:06.670 --> 04:01:08.950 who Jesus Christ is and we know the time in which we live. 04:01:09.550 --> 04:01:11.770 So what's happening to the Shady Point Church? 04:01:14.010 --> 04:01:20.570 I guess folks of all their church offices would not allow them to even think about 04:01:20.570 --> 04:01:22.930 getting involved in a personal way anymore. 04:01:23.830 --> 04:01:27.810 I guess the next thing they did was come right into their Sabbath school class. 04:01:28.110 --> 04:01:34.010 Now they had already stripped the Sabbath school teacher of that class, of his 04:01:34.010 --> 04:01:34.390 office. 04:01:35.650 --> 04:01:44.910 And I guess the pastor and the doctor came in and just told this class that they 04:01:44.910 --> 04:01:46.090 couldn't have a teacher anymore. 04:01:46.190 --> 04:01:48.050 And they said, well that's okay, we'll just all teach each other. 04:01:48.850 --> 04:01:52.510 And then they came back again and they just told them, no, you can't. 04:01:52.590 --> 04:01:53.410 You are not allowed. 04:01:53.470 --> 04:01:55.370 You're not going to be allowed to have a class anymore. 04:01:55.510 --> 04:01:56.390 You are out of here. 04:01:57.090 --> 04:02:00.550 You have to come back into the main sanctuary and get under the organized 04:02:00.550 --> 04:02:00.990 classes. 04:02:01.130 --> 04:02:05.170 We are not going to allow you to congregate back here and keep stirring up 04:02:05.170 --> 04:02:05.910 amongst yourselves. 04:02:07.210 --> 04:02:12.470 Now, I have to admit, that if I had been there, John, and I have done this once 04:02:12.470 --> 04:02:16.950 before, I would have told that doctor, by the way, this is the same doctor that 04:02:16.950 --> 04:02:20.790 faxed his vote in from Arizona to get me kicked out of that Jiu-Jitsu fellowship. 04:02:21.130 --> 04:02:21.950 Faxed it in, yeah. 04:02:23.210 --> 04:02:24.650 I thought that was kind of funny. 04:02:27.070 --> 04:02:32.650 Anyway, I would have told this doctor that either sit down and learn something or go 04:02:32.650 --> 04:02:34.350 back in the other room, because we weren't budging. 04:02:35.910 --> 04:02:41.830 You know, I don't know, sometimes we shouldn't fight, but there are other times 04:02:41.830 --> 04:02:43.790 when you just can't give the church away. 04:02:44.670 --> 04:02:46.170 But I wasn't there. 04:02:46.430 --> 04:02:55.050 What happened was, they decided to meet in a grange that is not too far away from the 04:02:55.050 --> 04:02:55.250 church. 04:02:55.550 --> 04:02:58.530 And actually, at this time, John, unless things have changed within the last 04:02:58.530 --> 04:03:03.550 week, they have more people that are coming out of Shady Point Church. 04:03:03.610 --> 04:03:06.910 They have more people coming out of the grange than they left in the church. 04:03:07.790 --> 04:03:10.310 And so now the few people that are conference, they have what I call 04:03:10.310 --> 04:03:11.230 conference cancer. 04:03:11.850 --> 04:03:12.650 They are having to support. 04:03:13.090 --> 04:03:14.110 Okay, support it then. 04:03:14.150 --> 04:03:15.950 If you are going to do it and run it, run it. 04:03:16.130 --> 04:03:19.630 And the other people, they are bringing in speakers and they are congregating there 04:03:19.630 --> 04:03:22.010 at the grange and carrying on. 04:03:22.250 --> 04:03:28.390 You know, I know that the Oregon Conference leadership is watching this 04:03:28.390 --> 04:03:28.710 video. 04:03:28.830 --> 04:03:32.230 Don Jenkinson has said that he watches all the videos that come out of this ministry. 04:03:35.910 --> 04:03:38.330 And he says, I have already heard threats that they are going to try to remove my 04:03:38.330 --> 04:03:39.530 membership without telling me. 04:03:39.870 --> 04:03:41.310 That is the same thing that Bob said. 04:03:43.130 --> 04:03:44.310 So we are aware of this. 04:03:44.710 --> 04:03:49.170 I just want to tell the Oregon Conference leadership, you may think that you have 04:03:49.170 --> 04:03:52.930 won the battle at Shady Point, but you have lost the war. 04:03:53.410 --> 04:03:58.390 You know, all that you are doing is waking up the Adventist laity. 04:03:58.590 --> 04:03:59.050 That is all. 04:03:59.110 --> 04:04:00.830 You are waking up a sleeping giant. 04:04:01.050 --> 04:04:02.790 I just watched Torah, Torah, Torah. 04:04:05.910 --> 04:04:08.030 On the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 04:04:08.190 --> 04:04:11.910 This week, December 7, 1991 is the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl 04:04:11.910 --> 04:04:12.230 Harbor. 04:04:12.730 --> 04:04:17.550 And you know, Admiral Yamamoto said when the planes were coming back to the 04:04:17.550 --> 04:04:21.410 carriers from Pearl Harbor, he turned to his assistant and said, I am afraid all 04:04:21.410 --> 04:04:24.070 that we have done is awakened a sleeping giant. 04:04:24.330 --> 04:04:27.990 And let me tell you, conference men, all you have done is awakened the sleeping 04:04:27.990 --> 04:04:31.290 giant of the Adventist laity and you are going to lose the war. 04:04:31.350 --> 04:04:32.130 I promise you. 04:04:35.910 --> 04:04:40.090 The days of the Adventist laity standing up and asserting their liberty in Christ 04:04:40.090 --> 04:04:45.570 Jesus and no longer allowing this conference tyranny of coming in and 04:04:45.570 --> 04:04:48.170 controlling the laity, those days are over. 04:04:48.350 --> 04:04:53.550 They may have won a battle at Shady Point, but they are going to lose the war. 04:04:54.090 --> 04:05:00.330 You know, John, what excites me, and I must say, I have said it at least a 04:05:00.330 --> 04:05:04.370 dozen times, the historic Adventist heart will break a thousand times between here 04:05:04.370 --> 04:05:04.770 and the gate. 04:05:04.870 --> 04:05:05.730 It is going to happen. 04:05:05.830 --> 04:05:06.650 We are going to be disappointed. 04:05:06.750 --> 04:05:08.430 Nobody likes to see what is going on. 04:05:09.290 --> 04:05:12.750 My heart breaks to see our beloved church do what it is doing. 04:05:13.190 --> 04:05:16.350 But on the other side of the coin, what excites me, John, is we are about 04:05:16.350 --> 04:05:18.270 ready to see God work for His people. 04:05:18.850 --> 04:05:24.590 And though we may be fewer in number, we are stronger on the battlefield. 04:05:24.750 --> 04:05:28.890 Not because we are anybody, but because we know that we are not anybody and we know 04:05:28.890 --> 04:05:29.850 somebody that is everybody. 04:05:33.750 --> 04:05:35.430 God says that we will be amazed. 04:05:35.570 --> 04:05:39.570 God's people will be amazed in the last days when God takes the reins into His 04:05:39.570 --> 04:05:42.930 hands, the simple means that He uses to perfect His work in righteousness. 04:05:43.130 --> 04:05:45.250 We are seeing that right now. 04:05:45.550 --> 04:05:49.730 And God is going to use simple means by men and women from every walk of life. 04:05:49.950 --> 04:05:51.470 The laity are going to finish this work. 04:05:51.750 --> 04:05:54.250 We are going to have to be the ones to preach the three angels' message to the 04:05:54.250 --> 04:05:54.450 world. 04:05:54.670 --> 04:05:58.130 We are going to be the ones that God is going to raise up to finish this work. 04:05:58.430 --> 04:06:00.190 Because if not us, who? 04:06:00.410 --> 04:06:02.210 If not now, when? 04:06:03.750 --> 04:06:04.330 When it's us, John. 04:06:04.330 --> 04:06:07.370 Terry, thank you for the research you've done bringing us up to date. 04:06:07.710 --> 04:06:10.430 I want you to lead us in prayer at the closing of this video. 04:06:10.750 --> 04:06:11.130 Let's kneel. 04:06:14.650 --> 04:06:20.910 Heavenly Father, once again we come to you admitting our weaknesses, knowing we are 04:06:20.910 --> 04:06:21.830 but mere dust. 04:06:23.350 --> 04:06:28.450 Lord, we so appreciate that we serve a loving God who watches and cares over the 04:06:28.450 --> 04:06:29.370 least of His children. 04:06:30.450 --> 04:06:35.310 And Lord, even though we are not worthy we know that Your Son is. 04:06:36.010 --> 04:06:42.890 We ask that You would give us Your people the courage, the fortitude it takes at 04:06:42.890 --> 04:06:44.230 this time to take a stand. 04:06:44.310 --> 04:06:46.070 Help us not to deny our faith. 04:06:47.030 --> 04:06:48.250 Help us not to be ashamed. 04:06:48.990 --> 04:06:51.910 But help us to be, in the right sense, proud. 04:06:52.490 --> 04:06:56.390 Help us to know what it means to be a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, 04:06:56.510 --> 04:06:59.090 the highest calling that any human being can receive. 04:06:59.750 --> 04:07:03.630 Help us to be simplistic enough to follow Thee every step of the way. 04:07:04.150 --> 04:07:06.110 Lord, we even pray for our enemies. 04:07:06.290 --> 04:07:12.330 Somehow, if it can happen, we ask that You would turn things around at least in 04:07:12.330 --> 04:07:12.850 individuals. 04:07:13.890 --> 04:07:15.330 We know that there are good men in the camp. 04:07:15.430 --> 04:07:18.630 We even know that there are souls in the camp that will eventually become Paul's. 04:07:19.470 --> 04:07:24.830 But Lord, help us to see the times in which we live and help us to pick up that 04:07:24.830 --> 04:07:26.370 blood-stained banner and march forward. 04:07:27.390 --> 04:07:29.990 Bless Your people now, as we close this tape. 04:07:30.770 --> 04:07:34.970 May they have the knowledge that You want them to have. 04:07:35.530 --> 04:07:37.210 May we have the balance that we need. 04:07:37.630 --> 04:07:40.450 May we have the discernment to walk through this minefield. 04:07:41.070 --> 04:07:42.950 And may we keep our eyes on the bigger picture. 04:07:43.090 --> 04:07:46.830 And one day soon, see Your Son, Jesus, come in the clouds of heaven, 04:07:46.990 --> 04:07:48.850 for we pray these things in His precious name. 04:07:49.130 --> 04:07:49.430 Amen. 04:07:52.080 --> 04:07:56.140 Well, I just want to tell our viewers that they need to get this documentation 04:07:56.140 --> 04:07:56.680 package. 04:07:56.800 --> 04:07:57.160 Absolutely. 04:08:05.300 --> 04:08:11.620 Bob Trebs has shown us for a $10 gift to this ministry or more, you need to have 04:08:11.620 --> 04:08:12.960 this documentation packet. 04:08:13.340 --> 04:08:14.880 You know, you've watched many of these videos. 04:08:14.980 --> 04:08:16.340 I'm sure that they know our address. 04:08:17.060 --> 04:08:19.520 But it's Prophecy Countdown, Box 1844. 04:08:19.680 --> 04:08:20.900 Don't you like that box number? 04:08:21.040 --> 04:08:21.500 I like that. 04:08:21.680 --> 04:08:22.460 It kind of rings a bell. 04:08:23.920 --> 04:08:26.800 Box 1844, Grand Island, Florida.

Grand Island. 04:08:35.660 --> 04:08:36.100 32735. 04:08:36.780 --> 04:08:38.480 And let us hear from you folks. 04:08:38.620 --> 04:08:42.260 We really appreciate your words of encouragement and your letters and your 04:08:42.260 --> 04:08:43.240 support for us. 04:08:43.460 --> 04:08:46.120 Terry, thank you for being here. 04:08:46.220 --> 04:08:49.800 My brother in Christ that I just love and appreciate so very much. 04:08:49.960 --> 04:08:53.800 It's good working with you and we're going to keep our Adventist people updated with 04:08:53.800 --> 04:08:54.660 what is going on. 04:08:54.960 --> 04:08:57.760 Let me say this just right at the very end. 04:08:57.940 --> 04:08:59.360 The little old Ryan that wrote the letter. 04:08:59.600 --> 04:09:01.500 Yeah, Ryan, I never knew it could be so good. 04:09:03.380 --> 04:09:04.100 Bless your heart. 04:09:04.220 --> 04:09:04.760 Thank you, Terry. 04:09:06.940 --> 04:09:08.660 Don't hit that rewind button yet. 04:09:08.740 --> 04:09:12.020 There's a whole lot going on real fast, folks, that you need to know about. 04:09:12.420 --> 04:09:15.220 We'll bring you up to date at the end of the credit roll in just a few moments, 04:09:15.280

you know. 04:10:32.800 --> 04:10:33.520 Bob's on the phone. 04:10:33.620 --> 04:10:34.660 I want him to tell you. 04:10:37.620 --> 04:10:38.020 John? 04:10:38.200 --> 04:10:38.480 Yes. 04:10:38.700 --> 04:10:40.240 Bob Trebs is on line one. 04:10:40.420 --> 04:10:40.820 Thank you. 04:10:42.120 --> 04:10:42.520 Bob Trebs is on line one. 04:10:42.520 --> 04:10:44.220 Hello, Bob, this is John Osborne. 04:10:44.480 --> 04:10:45.660 Hi, John, how are you? 04:10:45.800 --> 04:10:46.480 I'm just fine. 04:10:46.560 --> 04:10:47.740 Appreciate so much your calling. 04:10:47.860 --> 04:10:50.980 I tell you, I can't believe the stuff that has happened just in the short time since 04:10:50.980 --> 04:10:53.600 we have videotaped together in the studio here. 04:10:53.680 --> 04:10:56.720 Now, we taped this the first week of December. 04:10:56.860 --> 04:10:58.420 It's now the first week in January. 04:10:58.640 --> 04:11:00.160 The holidays kind of set us back. 04:11:00.480 --> 04:11:03.060 But we're ready to take this edited master to the duplicators. 04:11:03.400 --> 04:11:06.100 But just found out that you have got some new startling information. 04:11:06.320 --> 04:11:08.780 How about bringing us up to date before we finish this tape? 04:11:09.160 --> 04:11:09.780 Sure, John. 04:11:10.620 --> 04:11:14.780 We have had a massive activity going on. 04:11:14.920 --> 04:11:21.200 We published in October in Freedom's Ring the fact that a prominent SDA systematic 04:11:21.200 --> 04:11:26.900 theologian representing the SDA church had signed, along with Roman Catholics and 100 04:11:26.900 --> 04:11:30.880 theologians, the most significant ecumenical document the World Council of 04:11:30.880 --> 04:11:36.340 Churches has ever produced, entitled The Baptism of Eucharist and Ministry. 04:11:37.020 --> 04:11:42.280 And, of course, this is of great interest to Adventists because Ellen White says in 04:11:42.280 --> 04:11:48.880 Great Controversy 444-445 that there is a growing sentiment in favor of a union 04:11:48.880 --> 04:11:51.180 based upon common points of doctrine. 04:11:51.900 --> 04:11:56.000 And then a little later she says when this shall be gained then in the effort to 04:11:56.000 --> 04:12:00.480 secure complete uniformity it will be only a step to the resort to force. 04:12:00.640 --> 04:12:02.060 That's exactly where we are. 04:12:04.680 --> 04:12:08.680 If the United States uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in 04:12:08.680 --> 04:12:12.500 common shall influence a state to enforce their decrees and sustain their 04:12:12.500 --> 04:12:16.280 institutions then a Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman 04:12:16.280 --> 04:12:16.860 hierarchy. 04:12:17.120 --> 04:12:18.180 What page in Great Controversy is that? 04:12:18.180 --> 04:12:19.980 That was 444-445. 04:12:20.440 --> 04:12:25.000 And that's why this is so significant because the Baptism, Eucharist, 04:12:25.100 --> 04:12:29.480 and Ministry document is the most significant document that the World 04:12:29.480 --> 04:12:30.420 Council of Churches 04:12:34.680 --> 04:12:35.000 has ever seen. 04:12:35.000 --> 04:12:38.240 from the back of the Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry document. 04:12:38.380 --> 04:12:41.220 I sent down that document to you, John. 04:12:41.280 --> 04:12:43.200 I'm holding it right here in my hand, Bob. 04:12:43.260 --> 04:12:47.900 Okay, I think it's important to even look at what is on the back page there 04:12:48.880 --> 04:12:51.560 including each of those little short paragraphs. 04:12:51.960 --> 04:12:57.200 It says the statement published here marks a major advance in the ecumenical journey. 04:12:57.520 --> 04:13:01.160 The result of a 50-year process of study and consultation. 04:13:04.680 --> 04:13:08.860 It represents the theological convergence that has been achieved through decades of 04:13:08.860 --> 04:13:11.040 dialogue under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 04:13:11.520 --> 04:13:17.440 So they're acknowledging that this is the great development in ecumenical 04:13:17.440 --> 04:13:17.940 convergence. 04:13:18.160 --> 04:13:19.480 You've got to read the next paragraph. 04:13:19.800 --> 04:13:20.980 Right, the next one. 04:13:21.360 --> 04:13:25.840 Over 100 theologians met in Lima, Peru in January 1982. 04:13:26.300 --> 04:13:32.340 And John, I have the report of the Commission on Faith and Order in Lima, 04:13:32.500 --> 04:13:33.820 Peru right in my hands here. 04:13:34.680 --> 04:13:37.020 The Visible Unity, the study papers and reports. 04:13:37.700 --> 04:13:39.760 And I counted the number. 04:13:39.920 --> 04:13:45.660 There were 105 theologians that were there gathered. 04:13:45.780 --> 04:13:47.600 You've got that document in your hand? 04:13:48.140 --> 04:13:52.520 Well, I have the report of the study papers and reports made at Lima, 04:13:52.660 --> 04:13:52.880 Peru. 04:13:52.940 --> 04:13:53.960 Where did you get all that? 04:13:54.220 --> 04:13:55.920 Oh, from the World Council of Churches. 04:13:55.980 --> 04:13:56.960 Bless your heart. 04:13:57.360 --> 04:14:00.460 Anyway, reading on there, John, it says they recommended 04:14:04.680 --> 04:14:06.160 that everyone submit this agreed statement. 04:14:06.320 --> 04:14:07.940 That means everyone that was there. 04:14:08.500 --> 04:14:11.880 The Lima text for the common study and official response to the churches. 04:14:12.040 --> 04:14:16.760 Now I'm holding, you can't see me right now, John, but I'm holding in my hand the 04:14:16.760 --> 04:14:23.060 Faith and Order 1985-1989 Commission meeting at Budapest 1989. 04:14:24.020 --> 04:14:28.800 And in the back of that it lists the members on the Faith and Order Commission. 04:14:28.800 --> 04:14:33.900 And Dr. Raul Dedran, Seventh-day Adventist Church, SDA Theological Seminary, 04:14:33.980 --> 04:14:38.300 Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, is listed there as one of the 04:14:38.300 --> 04:14:39.620 members of that commission. 04:14:40.380 --> 04:14:44.780 So he's been on that commission for years. 04:14:45.660 --> 04:14:49.960 And they recommended unanimously to transmit this agreed statement for the 04:14:49.960 --> 04:14:53.320 common study and official response to the churches. 04:14:53.540 --> 04:14:57.040 They represented virtually all the major traditions. 04:14:57.340 --> 04:14:58.540 All the major church traditions. 04:14:58.720 --> 04:15:02.140 Now notice they include the Adventists among major church traditions. 04:15:02.260 --> 04:15:04.180 Planted just as big as life, right here. 04:15:04.300 --> 04:15:04.480 Right. 04:15:04.640 --> 04:15:08.580 Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Lutheran, 04:15:08.620 --> 04:15:12.260 Anglican, Reformed, Methodist, United, Disciples, Baptist, Adventist, 04:15:12.320 --> 04:15:13.180 and Pentecostal. 04:15:13.300 --> 04:15:16.480 But what about our leadership, Bob, that are denying this? 04:15:16.720 --> 04:15:18.560 Well, that's what I want to get into. 04:15:18.900 --> 04:15:20.560 Let me just read this last paragraph. 04:15:20.720 --> 04:15:22.460 The church's response to this 04:15:25.540 --> 04:15:27.700 ecumenical process of reception. 04:15:27.800 --> 04:15:30.100 And we have responded to that document. 04:15:30.620 --> 04:15:33.780 It's in Volume 2 of Churches Respond to BEM. 04:15:34.960 --> 04:15:38.640 And the response is by the Council on Inter-Church Relations. 04:15:39.100 --> 04:15:44.340 Well, what happened, John, that was so interesting was someone read our paper out 04:15:44.340 --> 04:15:48.060 on the West Coast and wrote to a certain independent ministry. 04:15:49.040 --> 04:15:53.060 And they had, even though we didn't name Dr. Deterren's name in the paper, 04:15:55.060 --> 04:15:55.540 it was he. 04:15:56.140 --> 04:16:00.640 And this independent ministry wrote directly to Dr. Deterren and asked him 04:16:00.640 --> 04:16:05.000 about it because they had a letter from B .B. 04:16:05.100 --> 04:16:10.360 Beach dated April 2 of 1982, which would be just a few months after January, 04:16:10.960 --> 04:16:14.000 which stated that he abstained from voting on the document. 04:16:14.160 --> 04:16:16.860 And yet the BEM document says it was unanimous. 04:16:17.080 --> 04:16:18.180 Somebody's lying here, Bob. 04:16:18.700 --> 04:16:21.480 So he wrote this letter to Dr. Deterren. 04:16:21.680 --> 04:16:21.840 And 04:16:25.060 --> 04:16:26.940 it was received December 5, 1991. 04:16:27.120 --> 04:16:31.900 Dr. Deterren called and stated that he signed no papers nor the document itself. 04:16:33.320 --> 04:16:37.980 So not only did Dr. Deterren also confirm that he abstained in the vote on the 04:16:37.980 --> 04:16:39.460 document as did some others. 04:16:39.560 --> 04:16:45.380 Well, that really perplexed us because the World Council of Churches has gone on 04:16:45.380 --> 04:16:49.640 record in the back of this book stating that the Adventists were involved. 04:16:50.440 --> 04:16:51.840 So we 04:16:55.060 --> 04:16:59.280 got up a little after 1 in the morning and called the World Council of Churches in 04:16:59.280 --> 04:17:05.160 Geneva, Switzerland and talked to the Faith and Order Department there and asked 04:17:05.160 --> 04:17:06.780 them if they had a list. 04:17:06.960 --> 04:17:10.140 And John, I faxed that telefax down to you. 04:17:10.220 --> 04:17:16.220 It came in at 4 o'clock that morning from Switzerland from Dr. Gunther Gottesman's 04:17:16.220 --> 04:17:16.620 office. 04:17:16.800 --> 04:17:18.200 He's the Director of Faith and 04:17:25.060 --> 04:17:25.220 Order. 04:17:25.220 --> 04:17:30.100 He said, I'm happy to send you the list of participants in the 1982 Lima Faith and 04:17:30.100 --> 04:17:34.460 Order meeting who have unanimously adopted the BEM document. 04:17:35.220 --> 04:17:37.480 Gudrun Smith, the secretary, signed it. 04:17:38.220 --> 04:17:43.600 And as we were watching the fax, we noticed the names coming out and there 04:17:43.600 --> 04:17:48.260 as big as life in the first column was Dr. Deterren's name, Dr. R. 04:17:48.360 --> 04:17:48.640 Deterren. 04:17:48.700 --> 04:17:48.860 In 04:17:55.060 --> 04:17:57.340 that moment, he had checked the minutes and it was unanimous. 04:17:58.180 --> 04:18:04.140 In that phone call where I talked directly to Dr. Gunther Gottesman, the Director of 04:18:04.140 --> 04:18:06.940 the World Council of Churches, who would be one of the more powerful men 04:18:06.940 --> 04:18:11.360 in the World Council of Churches, he told me the vote was unanimous. 04:18:11.480 --> 04:18:14.200 Every person in the room voted in favor of it. 04:18:14.320 --> 04:18:14.620 There were 04:18:25.060 --> 04:18:25.060 favor of it. 04:18:25.060 --> 04:18:27.920 Bob has contested the fact that the vote was unanimous. 04:18:28.000 --> 04:18:32.240 And it's been in print now for years on the back of the BEM document. 04:18:32.820 --> 04:18:38.140 Any church that did not want to appear as having been involved unanimously with this 04:18:38.140 --> 04:18:41.520 vote would surely have contested that fact some time ago. 04:18:41.680 --> 04:18:44.420 But Bob, here is this document from the World 04:18:55.060 --> 04:18:55.300 Council of Churches. 04:18:55.300 --> 04:18:57.520 Bob, are we being lied to? 04:18:57.620 --> 04:18:58.480 Have we been lied to? 04:18:58.580 --> 04:18:59.620 What is going on, Bob? 04:18:59.700 --> 04:19:01.000 Let's just come right out and spell it out. 04:19:01.040 --> 04:19:01.880 People need to know. 04:19:02.220 --> 04:19:02.980 Well, all right. 04:19:03.060 --> 04:19:06.900 I pressed the matter then with Dr. Gottesman. 04:19:08.200 --> 04:19:14.140 And I even brought up Dr. Dutton's name because I wanted to get to the bottom of 04:19:14.140 --> 04:19:14.720 this thing. 04:19:25.060 --> 04:19:30.900 He admitted that we have a person seated in a personal capacity on this commission. 04:19:31.040 --> 04:19:35.820 But the inference that I always got from that was that everyone else was there in 04:19:35.820 --> 04:19:36.960 an official capacity. 04:19:37.480 --> 04:19:41.060 But now I find out that all of them serve in a personal capacity. 04:19:41.820 --> 04:19:46.000 The voting, he said, is not a juridical, legally binding matter for the churches 04:19:46.000 --> 04:19:48.740 that the members represent. 04:19:49.360 --> 04:19:53.880 And an affirmative vote means that the document is accepted in principle or 04:19:53.880 --> 04:19:56.460 agreed with in principle, not necessarily in all its details. 04:19:56.800 --> 04:19:58.700 Okay, let me see if I understand this, Bob. 04:19:59.180 --> 04:20:03.240 We have been told by the leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for years now 04:20:03.240 --> 04:20:08.420 that we are functioning in the World Council of Churches but in a personal, 04:20:08.420 --> 04:20:08.860 unofficial... 04:20:08.860 --> 04:20:09.600 is that the terms? 04:20:09.860 --> 04:20:12.860 Well, that's the implication that a person would get. 04:20:12.880 --> 04:20:13.620 A personal... 04:20:14.120 --> 04:20:16.440 A personal role on the... 04:20:16.440 --> 04:20:17.300 A personal role. 04:20:17.420 --> 04:20:20.680 But that's exactly the same as everybody else about the But that's what everybody 04:20:20.680 --> 04:20:23.280 with the World Council of Churches functions in a personal role. 04:20:23.620 --> 04:20:26.980 Nobody is there representing a church per se. 04:20:27.160 --> 04:20:28.980 They're working in a functional... 04:20:28.980 --> 04:20:30.100 I mean, in a personal role. 04:20:30.280 --> 04:20:31.960 So really this has just been a smokescreen. 04:20:32.300 --> 04:20:35.820 We have been involved in the World Council of Churches for years and our people have 04:20:35.820 --> 04:20:38.620 been misled, and may I even say it, we have been lied to. 04:20:38.980 --> 04:20:44.060 Well, also, John, if you check the directory of the World Council of 04:20:44.060 --> 04:20:48.600 Churches, you'll find that we have membership or associate membership or 04:20:48.600 --> 04:20:54.120 observer status in at least 13 nations, national branches of the World Council of 04:20:54.120 --> 04:20:54.660 Churches. 04:20:55.500 --> 04:20:58.000 I counted them one time some months ago. 04:20:58.480 --> 04:21:06.760 And also, we have had a representative on the World Confessional Families branch of 04:21:06.760 --> 04:21:10.840 the World Council of Churches, which is a very powerful branch of the 04:21:10.840 --> 04:21:12.000 World Council of Churches. 04:21:12.300 --> 04:21:15.160 And all that the World Council of Churches is and everything that we have been 04:21:15.160 --> 04:21:19.840 involved in is the seventh evidence all these years is the Protestant Reformation 04:21:19.840 --> 04:21:20.440 in reverse. 04:21:20.640 --> 04:21:22.300 It totally negates the Three Angels message. 04:21:22.700 --> 04:21:27.520 We have been called forth by God to call people out of Babylon and to separate from 04:21:27.520 --> 04:21:27.860 Babylon. 04:21:28.160 --> 04:21:32.400 And all that the World Council of Churches does is promote ecumenicalism, 04:21:32.480 --> 04:21:36.340 which is the Protestant Reformation and negates the Three Angels message and 04:21:36.340 --> 04:21:39.580 totally countermands everything we believe in the Three Angels message. 04:21:39.720 --> 04:21:48.840 It's completely the opposite of the second and third. 04:21:48.840 --> 04:21:52.640 And John, this all ties in with these trademark lawsuits, of course. 04:21:52.680 --> 04:21:52.980 Absolutely. 04:21:53.360 --> 04:21:57.120 Bob, we shouldn't be having anything to do with this in the first place. 04:21:57.440 --> 04:21:59.780 Well, that's exactly the situation. 04:22:00.020 --> 04:22:00.100 How insane. 04:22:00.280 --> 04:22:01.580 We've lost our minds. 04:22:01.760 --> 04:22:04.460 Our leadership have changed leaders and they don't even know it. 04:22:04.840 --> 04:22:09.200 Well, John, we have still now on the records then. 04:22:09.780 --> 04:22:11.180 We don't know exactly. 04:22:11.480 --> 04:22:12.260 We weren't present. 04:22:12.380 --> 04:22:16.720 There was no video camera, but we do have on the record the record of the World 04:22:16.720 --> 04:22:21.100 Council of Churches that Dr. Detteren was a participant in the unanimous vote. 04:22:21.380 --> 04:22:22.780 That's on that fax I sent you. 04:22:23.200 --> 04:22:27.080 We have the statement that the Adventists were involved in the unanimous decision on 04:22:27.080 --> 04:22:28.620 the back of the BEM document. 04:22:29.040 --> 04:22:35.440 We also have a personal witness in Europe who told me over the telephone, 04:22:35.600 --> 04:22:41.540 I called him in Europe, and he told me that he had read in the German-speaking 04:22:41.540 --> 04:22:49.080 Adventist paper an article in which it said that Dr. Detteren had voted in favor 04:22:49.080 --> 04:22:50.600 of the BEM document. 04:22:51.020 --> 04:22:55.180 And he went on to tell me how when he was in America, he went to Dr. Detteren and he 04:22:55.180 --> 04:22:56.460 said, how could you do this? 04:22:56.540 --> 04:23:00.020 How could you go along with these men who are opposed to us? 04:23:00.460 --> 04:23:05.940 And Dr. Detteren admitted privately to this man that he had voted in favor of it, 04:23:06.220 --> 04:23:09.560 but he said in his heart he was in disagreement with the document. 04:23:09.820 --> 04:23:11.000 Let me tell you something, Bob. 04:23:11.100 --> 04:23:16.360 The thing that our historic Adventist people have to realize is that we have 04:23:16.360 --> 04:23:19.760 been lied to and we've been lied to for years. 04:23:19.900 --> 04:23:21.020 And I know that it's painful. 04:23:21.440 --> 04:23:22.960 I am a third-generation Adventist. 04:23:23.220 --> 04:23:27.280 I love this message, but we have got to realize that we have been lied to by our 04:23:27.280 --> 04:23:27.660 leadership. 04:23:27.660 --> 04:23:31.800 And it's about time that our historic Adventist people woke up and started 04:23:31.800 --> 04:23:36.260 investigating things instead of just accepting the word of these men and 04:23:36.260 --> 04:23:39.120 realize that we have been led down the primrose path. 04:23:39.300 --> 04:23:44.820 John, this man then went to the union office in Vienna, Austria to find that 04:23:44.820 --> 04:23:51.100 article and when he got there and got into the archives, that set of documents was 04:23:51.100 --> 04:23:51.460 missing. 04:23:51.760 --> 04:23:52.540 Isn't that amazing? 04:23:52.880 --> 04:23:58.400 Bob, give us an update on the situation with the Caste yearbook at Andrews 04:23:58.400 --> 04:23:58.820 University. 04:23:58.940 --> 04:24:00.300 Hear if something happened about that. 04:24:00.920 --> 04:24:01.280 Okay. 04:24:01.840 --> 04:24:07.700 I was just talking to someone up at Andrews and they told me that the day 04:24:07.700 --> 04:24:14.040 after the Caste came out, there were 50 to 100 black and Hispanic seminary students 04:24:14.040 --> 04:24:20.380 that were so outraged by it that they wanted to have a public bonfire burning of 04:24:20.380 --> 04:24:20.980 the Caste. 04:24:22.640 --> 04:24:27.640 And some Koreans, I think, were also involved in that. 04:24:27.640 --> 04:24:30.700 Now we've got Koreans, we've got the Hispanics, and we've got the blacks. 04:24:31.000 --> 04:24:33.640 Where are all these little manby-pamby white boys at? 04:24:33.720 --> 04:24:34.780 Why aren't they doing something? 04:24:34.900 --> 04:24:35.880 Why are they such chickens? 04:24:36.220 --> 04:24:43.440 This man told me that there were some other pastors in training at the seminary 04:24:43.440 --> 04:24:45.800 who saw absolutely nothing wrong with it. 04:24:45.880 --> 04:24:51.060 In fact, they saw it as commendable and that it was wonderful that it had a 04:24:51.060 --> 04:24:52.220 spiritual motif. 04:24:52.640 --> 04:25:00.340 And so what's interesting then, John, is that in the teeth of this growing 04:25:00.340 --> 04:25:06.720 unrest about the Caste on the part of a few people at Andrews, the pastor, 04:25:06.860 --> 04:25:12.940 the senior pastor, Dr. Dwight Nelson, I've got the copy of his sermon right 04:25:12.940 --> 04:25:13.320 here. 04:25:14.040 --> 04:25:21.700 He told a committee that he was going to publicly defend this magazine and support 04:25:21.700 --> 04:25:21.960 it. 04:25:22.680 --> 04:25:29.500 And then he entered the pulpit November 23rd and over the 50,000 watt station at 04:25:29.500 --> 04:25:34.720 Andrews, which broadcasts all over Michiana for a great distance, 04:25:34.820 --> 04:25:38.460 including Notre Dame University, which is about a 45 minute drive away. 04:25:38.700 --> 04:25:42.080 He publicly supported this magazine to the skies. 04:25:42.920 --> 04:25:44.660 Well, Bob, I tell you, I've got that tape in my hand. 04:25:44.760 --> 04:25:46.960 I appreciate you supporting this and having it sent to me. 04:25:47.480 --> 04:25:51.000 I think our folks at home need to hear a few minutes of this. 04:25:51.300 --> 04:25:54.980 This is Dr. Dwight Nelson, senior pastor of the Pioneer Memorial Church at Berrien 04:25:54.980 --> 04:25:55.660 Springs, Michigan. 04:25:55.860 --> 04:25:56.980 You need to hear this, folks. 04:25:57.980 --> 04:26:01.240 Since this is the Thanksgiving season, I want to take a moment right here at the 04:26:01.240 --> 04:26:05.920 beginning to express a word of thankfulness. 04:26:06.860 --> 04:26:09.840 It concerns this little production I hold in my hands. 04:26:11.720 --> 04:26:15.200 Those of you that are students in the university, Andrews University recognize 04:26:15.200 --> 04:26:18.980 this as the national 1991-92 cast. 04:26:20.360 --> 04:26:23.680 If you have not seen this production, and most of you in the community have not, 04:26:23.740 --> 04:26:27.820 you cannot appreciate the incredible design work that went into making this 04:26:27.820 --> 04:26:29.620 particular cast a reality. 04:26:29.720 --> 04:26:33.460 I've appreciated all of our casts, but in particular, this one that chose a 04:26:33.460 --> 04:26:35.260 religious motif for its theme. 04:26:36.720 --> 04:26:43.080 My hat is off to Joffrey Isaac and the entire team who are listed here in the 04:26:43.080 --> 04:26:44.300 cover of this production. 04:26:44.640 --> 04:26:49.880 Masterful, appropriate, indeed, for this institution and this Christian 04:26:49.880 --> 04:26:50.240 campus. 04:26:50.380 --> 04:26:54.420 In fact, last service, first service, I wrote a note. 04:26:54.520 --> 04:26:57.780 We'll all have a chance in a moment to write notes, but I wrote it to Joffrey. 04:26:58.860 --> 04:27:02.520 Dear Joffrey, just a note to let you know how much I appreciated your production and 04:27:02.520 --> 04:27:03.940 design of the cast this year. 04:27:04.120 --> 04:27:04.440 Super. 04:27:05.520 --> 04:27:09.320 The religious motif naturally impressed me as your pastor on this campus. 04:27:09.660 --> 04:27:13.620 Tasteful, pertinent, and right on for a Christian university. 04:27:14.380 --> 04:27:15.900 God bless you in all your creations. 04:27:15.900 --> 04:27:18.300 Creative endeavors in the future for him. 04:27:18.760 --> 04:27:19.180 Peace. 04:27:19.880 --> 04:27:20.800 And I signed it. 04:27:21.820 --> 04:27:24.560 I do thank Joffrey and his team. 04:27:25.100 --> 04:27:26.020 Job well done. 04:27:26.380 --> 04:27:26.800 Thank you. 04:27:30.650 --> 04:27:33.910 Oh, that was very enlightening, to say the least. 04:27:34.210 --> 04:27:35.450 What else do you have for us, Bob? 04:27:36.010 --> 04:27:40.950 Well, John, you know, we mentioned about Dr. William Loveless teaching the 04:27:40.950 --> 04:27:43.750 spiritual exercises to the ministers and workers meeting. 04:27:44.010 --> 04:27:45.030 What's the latest with that? 04:27:45.110 --> 04:27:47.770 And he's been, of course, traveling around promoting this. 04:27:48.450 --> 04:27:55.750 We got some material in the mail, which was part of a seminar that he was 04:27:55.750 --> 04:28:00.970 giving on Friday nights at Loma Linda, entitled Lessons in Contemplative Prayer. 04:28:01.570 --> 04:28:02.830 It happened in July. 04:28:03.510 --> 04:28:10.570 And on the back page of the handout, there, as big as life, is the reading list 04:28:10.570 --> 04:28:13.010 for Christian meditation and contemplation. 04:28:13.110 --> 04:28:18.310 And there is Ignatius Loyola right on the list, the spiritual exercises to the St. 04:28:18.610 --> 04:28:19.170 Ignatius. 04:28:19.250 --> 04:28:22.250 And that's the training manual for the Jesuit Order. 04:28:22.790 --> 04:28:30.670 So there is absolutely black and white evidence of direct promulgation of the 04:28:30.670 --> 04:28:33.610 training manual of the Jesuits right there. 04:28:33.690 --> 04:28:39.310 Bob, I just received a letter from a woman that was a professional hypnotist before 04:28:39.310 --> 04:28:42.510 she found the truth and came into the Seventh Adventist Church. 04:28:42.650 --> 04:28:48.810 And she says when she saw the New Age Adventism and the part one and heard that 04:28:48.810 --> 04:28:51.750 tape of Bill Lovelace, she gasped in disbelief. 04:28:52.170 --> 04:28:56.550 She says this is absolutely hypnotism in its highest form. 04:28:56.670 --> 04:29:02.110 She says she went through and just outlined all the steps that Bill Lovelace 04:29:02.110 --> 04:29:02.570 was doing. 04:29:02.990 --> 04:29:05.550 And she was a professional hypnotist before she came to the Lord. 04:29:06.070 --> 04:29:06.670 Isn't that something? 04:29:06.670 --> 04:29:08.790 It's incredible, Bob, the stuff that it's having. 04:29:08.910 --> 04:29:13.010 Yet our people are so reluctant to admit this stuff. 04:29:13.430 --> 04:29:17.130 And they listen to our leadership because, I want to tell you, in case you don't 04:29:17.130 --> 04:29:20.750 know, there has been such an unbelievable attack launched against the independent 04:29:20.750 --> 04:29:23.270 ministry since we began bringing out this information. 04:29:24.110 --> 04:29:26.670 And we haven't seen the worst of it by any means. 04:29:26.850 --> 04:29:31.550 So, batten down the hatches, Bob, because we've sure stirred up a hornet's 04:29:31.550 --> 04:29:32.510 nest, to say the least. 04:29:32.610 --> 04:29:37.750 John, also on that reading list, there is a book by William Johnston, 04:29:37.950 --> 04:29:45.530 who is a Jesuit living over in Japan, who is affiliated with Sophia University. 04:29:46.190 --> 04:29:49.290 He is a Jesuit there, and so his book is in there. 04:29:49.390 --> 04:29:53.950 And also, St. Teresa, the Complete Works of St. Teresa, is another book. 04:29:54.250 --> 04:29:57.690 She is one of the greatest mystics of the Roman Catholic Church. 04:29:58.170 --> 04:30:02.610 Bob, we're getting down to the end of not only the end of time, but the end of this 04:30:02.610 --> 04:30:02.890 tape. 04:30:02.910 --> 04:30:05.950 We're going to have to bring this thing to a close, but I appreciate so much you 04:30:05.950 --> 04:30:09.590 calling and updating us at the end of this tape before it goes to the duplicators and 04:30:09.590 --> 04:30:11.570 keeping our people abreast of what is going on. 04:30:11.930 --> 04:30:13.670 May God bless you in your work. 04:30:13.710 --> 04:30:15.070 God bless you too, John. 04:30:15.170 --> 04:30:16.470 It's been wonderful working with you. 04:30:16.570 --> 04:30:17.130 Thanks, Bob. 04:30:17.530 --> 04:30:18.010 Bye-bye. 04:30:18.030 --> 04:30:18.330 Bye-bye.
