A very good description of what goes on! I never thought about it but you are right about Jim Jones taking his followers away from society to keep the evil ones away. Iti s like the sick Christian Scientists who put themselves into a CS nursing home and cut off communication from the "outsiders" while they die hideous deaths which could have been treated by modern medicine... and even if there wasn't a cure, they could at least avail themselves of the comforts of pain killers, oxygen, and other measures that could make the dying more comfortable.Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:36:12 GMTGentle Dovehttp://www.christianway.org/forums/Topic13791-11-1.aspxWhether an adult adherent can answer it or not does not adequately address the issues. One of your pat responses is usually "we are to emerge gently". Easy answer and one given over the 100 years when the truly bright ones question instead of follow like blind sheep. MBE herself should have answered the questions. Instead, the writings are fraught with inconsistencies and vague generalizations and circular logic written in flowery prose. I refer to my earlier post......something went wrong somewhere...who had the first ADAM DREAM? What is so funny is that I found a book where a woman wrote another book to actually clarify MBE's writings!!! A "Key" to her "Key".

But it should be understood that (at least to my knowledge) not all adherents of Christian Science practice it perfectly. And, by the way, I don't think you will find anyone who claims to practice it perfectly.Sun, 02 Mar 2008 20:18:03 GMTLeonardehttp://www.christianway.org/forums/Topic13791-11-1.aspxYes would'nt we all like the CS answer to that, problem is nobody is willing to respond.</P><P>If there is no sickness, disease etc. why are CSists sick themselves and why was MBE sick all her life?</P><P>Why is my mum always sick after following CS for 12 years?</P><P>Why are the children of CSists dying?</P><P>There's no sense in it, none whatsoever.Wed, 08 Aug 2007 04:12:19 GMTjesusmyhealerhttp://www.christianway.org/forums/Topic13791-11-1.aspxHi Anonymous,<P>Welcome to the forums!

It goes back to what they say, "Who had the first Adam dream?" Something went wrong somewhere in order for there to even have to be Christian Science to tell people nothing is wrong!! Its the old hole in the logic discussion! Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:37:07 GMTGentle Dove
