Yo Menace you know about this shit? If you don't kow, you'll love this shit. In summary, Douglas Coe and all his followers are comprised of right-wing political and economic figures across the U.S. They call themselves Christians but they have a completely different interpretation of the bible. They don't interpret the bible as being humble, moral, and loving. They see it as the philosophy to power. They think Jesus was a symbol of power and that God is in control but only through the select people already in control and who remain in control. Their whole effort is all about power and greed and they think their actions are justified by god through their wacked out interpretation of the bible. They have a retro-mentality believing that women are inferior to men and they should serve and worship men as men should serve and worship Jesus. They train young men from childhood in political philosophy and try to slide them into key positions in the government. And it isn't hard because the current politicians lobby and campaign for them under their wing. They build relationships with charismatic dictators from other countries and try to suck them into their beliefs. The shit is fucking insanely rediculous. It explains some of the mentality that exists within the government. It's like some crazy ass suspense story for some movie but the bad thing is that the shit is fucking real. They grow in power and worst of all their money grows thanks to the wealthy participating members and political figures. They're as rediculous as the Phelps but bigger, wealthier, and more powerful. What the fuck is up with these new age subsects. Fuck.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_ (Christian_political_organization) <---you'll have to scroll down to the Religious section.
The Family has long been a secretive organization that is not widely understood. It maintains no public website and conducts no public fundraising activities.
Concerned about growing publicity, Fellowship Founder Abraham Vereide wrote a letter in 1966 declaring it time to “submerge the institutional image of [the Family].” Former Republican Senator William Armstrong has said the group has “made a fetish of being invisible."
"If I told you who has participated and who participates until this day, you would not believe it," the Family's longtime leader, Douglas Coe, said in a rare interview in 2001. "You'd say, ‘You mean that scoundrel? That despot?'"
Douglas Coe also refers to the Fellowship as the "Christian Mafia" and is on record saying that he tries to make the group act like the Mafia because the more invisible you can make your organization, the more influence it will have.
Douglas Coe, the Family's de facto leader since 1969, has said that the group aims to create a worldwide "family of friends" by spreading the words of Jesus Christ to powerful men and women through "cell" leadership groups. Coe and his followers teach that these elite are chosen by God and must learn to wield power according to the divine plan.
The Fellowship Foundation conducts no public fundraising. It does receive anonymous donations.
In 2001, more than $10.3 million
In 2002, more than $10.8 million
In 2003, more than $11.4 million
