The fact is, most of us are warning others of the seductive dangers of getting involved with cults, giving indications of red flags to look out for, which virtually all cults have in common. We even warn about cults which are not religious in basis, because all cults share certain characteristics.

If "Joseph" were indeed as smart as he wants to sound, he would have picked up on this long before he made his first comment here.
Here's something Joe said 8-24-17:
I was a KT and KH, VOF on Sat. Nights. I never met Dr Scott. My tenure began exactly when he started teaching on Neh. Building the Wall, return to Jerusalem out of exile. It ended when Melissa showed up.
Doc stopped studying and stopped teaching. Alot of 'nitro pills' back to back and well no teaching=no tithe. He said that many had left for sundry reasons but returned for the teaching. I monitored the program enough to know I missed a series on psychology( something to do with flathead, etc) and some in depth teaching on Romans. Doc dies.
Dr Scott taught me to see the Bible as the entire word of God and not just a self serving document. " God is not your errand boy!". Christ loved me first it's why I love Christ. And no other Bible teacher aligns my will with God's like Doc did and does.
I recently borrowed a copy of the cassette teaching of the Lost Tribes with the intent of abstracting and outlining the main points for reference or learning. It seems like a good idea now especially since I am learning of all the things this group went through. Point is, Doc said that Amen God keeps His promises to us because he made them through Christ and that is surer than the ground you are standing on Amen.
Doc wanted to be remembered for bringing integrity back to the Table of the Lord. This is his legacy. No church that I am aware of teaches that we are to partake worthily, discerning the elements. By his stripes we were healed, placing our sins and infirmities in the past tense.
I believe a kind of Diaspora is designated to occur based on the demise of the University Network and the work most of you put into it. The research Doc did is second to none and some in this group are vessels of it. We can start with teaching Communion, the Table of the Lord and redeem the legacy that Doc intended for his ministry.
And be healed in Jesus' name. Amen
Cel: as a VOF, how could he not be caught up in the cult before going that far?
