The Exclusive Brethren are right?

On July 17, 2009, in Commentary, News, by Peebs.Net   Share
No, the Exclusive Brethren have not ‘taken over’ Peebs.Net!  We are not writing this with loaded bound versions of Bruce Hales’s  so-called ‘ministry’ held to our temples.
It is not often that we can point to something the Exclusive Brethren state publicly and agree with the statement.  The statement we want to support as being the Truth was spoken by Mr. Athol Greene, the Father-in-Law to the current leader of the Exclusive Brethren, Bruce D. Hales.
David Marr writes from Australia’s The Age:
“You won’t change us,” he says, fixing me with his old eyes.
“You. Won’t. Change. Us.”

This statement by the self-described ‘spritual advisor’ to the reclusive Bruce Hales is historically accurate. Athol Greene is right that the Exclusive Brethren have been intransigent and steadfast in ripping apart families for almost 50 years.
Many find it extraordinary that a group who consider themselves the pinnacle of Christianity have so little concern for the family unit.  Even the Bible that they profess to read so frequently states solemnly “What God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matt 19:6 – Mark 10:9  And yet, over the years, the Exclusive Brethren are directly responsible for not only breaking marriages, but breaking relationships between parents and children, children and grandparents, sibling and sibling … The intransigence of which Daniel Hales, brother to Bruce Hales, and Athol Greene seem so proud has resulted in misery, divorce, pain and suicide.
As any Christian knows, the words of Jesus Christ carry a great deal of weight!  If Jesus defends the sanctity of marriage so strongly – and the Exclusive Brethren ignore such an injunction so frequently – what does this say about their true level of Christianity?  The answer also lies in the words of Jesus Christ: “By their fruits then surely ye will know them.”  Matt 7:20
From both a Christian or secular viewpoint the Exclusive Brethren have left a trail of tears and blood.
A new thread in the Peebs.Net Community Forums is starting to pull back the covers on some of the Family Ripping that has taken place as covered by the media over the years.  It is an extraordinary series of charges and the implications and human cost is immense.

The statement by Athol Greene may be correct historically.  It is up to us to change the accuracy of this arrogant and chilling statement. Governments, Family Court judges and Municipalities – please do your homework before making decisions about this group!
The words ‘Due Diligence’ are a duty, not an optional guideline.
