True Parents' Last Words

*@****True Parents have already prepared the last words I will give to humankind. These have been prepared based on my triumphs over six or seven life-or-death situations, including six periods of unjust imprisonment. I am leaving behind eight textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity. Altogether, these are published in almost a thousand volumes.
They are:
The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon,
Exposition of the Divine Principle,
Cheon Seong Gyeong [Heavenly Scripture],
The Family Pledge,
Pyung Hwa Shin Gyeong [Messages of Peace],
True Families -- Gateway to Heaven,
Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage, and
World Scripture.
These are textbooks you will have to read and study even after you go to the spirit world. They are not just teachings that come from the mind of one person; they are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering children for their salvation.
You should now set up the Hoon Dok Hae study tradition in your families using the books I have mentioned. That is the tradition where three generations of a family start each day by reading Heaven's word, and lead a life of practicing what they read, with a new heart. Let's create a world where people in the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents at the same time, and read the word on the heavenly path together.
Once this happens, no matter how hard Satan may try to worm his way in, to infest your lineage, once he encounters the Hoon Dok Hae tradition he will find no room to move.

Analysis of Dr. Mickler's article

(We have been UTSers and friends since 1975.)
I think his intro spins against SC by pushing SC as schismatic. I believe FF peeled off from the founder's teaching.
He initially seems to indicate that SC split because of apocalyptic views rather than from pleading with Mother for years to honor Father's essential Word. Not following the Word, essential for salvation, as Father stated, is the main reason for the split.
He continues, describing some of the SC beliefs in a less than complimentary way, but in the ball park. He wrongly states SC doesn't have contact with the outside world.
He rightly agrees that Father crowned Hyung Jin.
He fails to take into account SC's geometrically increasing numbers, despite it's short life.
He then parallels our schism with other churches. He is a historian, but does not take into account that Father is the Messiah.
Overall, more fair than any UTS presentation so far.
I know Dr. Mickler and Dr. Wilson well. I hope they interview more knowledgable SCers in the future in order to increase their academic credibility. UTS an interfaith seminary could be a bastion of light and reconciliation among our own members.

Young Whi Kim information

From a blog that seeks to avoid attack, but read by my wife who I trust.
A year or so ago YWK gave a talk saying Mother was born with OS. This comforted the older members who were feeling uneasy with the new theology.
Then TMs recent speech contradicted YWKs lecture. People had hoped TM would come around, but she didn't, so YWK stopped coming to all the public events.
Mother is doubling down on no OS for her at birth.

(from previous post...)

Latest developments from Yonemoto blog.
Young Whi Kim recently turned in his resignation. And he did NOT attend the meeting of 150 senior members where mother gave each couple 2 million won.
It's like a bribe or hush money. People felt very uncomfortable.
He was supposed to give a speech at the gathering, but did not show up.
Finally another top elder member realizing things have gone too far and following up with action. Perhaps ancestors are waking up some folks.

Vegas Peace Palace

From Yanemoto blog on Vegas Peace Palace.
It is leasing the facility for outside business. 46 bedrooms, 4 suite room, one bridal suite, a reception room. Parties and bridal parties. All for rent now. Advertising closeness to airport. Of course church can use. Without explanation some one is making money. We all donated to the Peace Palace. What's up? Yanemoto suggests suing for fraud. Why did we donate to build another hotel in Vegas?
It will not be a holy place and who benefits? Donors?
See blog for video in English advertising. Near bottom, looks like Babylon

Angels have great power! Swedenborg

I have seen also hundreds of thousands of evil spirits dispersed by angels and cast down into hell. Numbers are of no avail against them; neither are devices, cunning, or combinations; for they see through them all, and disperse them in a moment. Such power do angels have in the spirit world.

Power of Angles Comes from the Lord

Angels are powerful, but one has to remember the following. Quoted text from Swedenborg's Heaven and its Wonders and Hell.
But it must be understood that the angels have no power whatever from themselves, but that all their power is from the Lord. Whoever of them believes that he has power from himself instantly becomes so weak as not to be able to resist even a single evil spirit.
My wife says Swedenborg says angels speak a totally different language which we learn intuitively because it's the language of love and heart.
These posts on angels are from my wife who is reading Swedenborg. Father said in Vegas that we oldies should prepare for SW.

From new Japanese blogs favoring SC.

Japanese FF is witnessing with tablet computers. A lot of lady members didn't own computers before, but now that they have computers for witnessing, they are accessing SC on the net, and joining.
