To see BDH solely as the CEO of the Exclusive Brethren sums it up perfectly. However, there were a few small defining moments that I feel could have also been highlighted: 1. The rise & fall of Tony McC. 2. The denial of service attack. 3. The political "suck up" to the new Rudd Government. 4. The paranoia exhibited by the BDH travelling circus exceeded that of the Papal visit to Australia (totally disproportionate to the BDH's public prominence - or lack thereof). . Religion is supposed to be a choice. That is, we can choose to follow the teachings set out in the Bible, or we can choose not to (and thus, do what we inherently know is 'right'). My concern has always been that the children who are born into, and raised within this cult, in effect, have no choice. .
