In Australia: IBLP sells; media call a cult a cult

I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree. My only theological learning is 14 years in religious schools, so I do not consider myself an expert. I tend to look at academic papers on things in which I am not well versed, written by people with many years of education on the subject, rather than faith based learning.

I am afraid I found the arguments in the article considerably more convincing than yours.

Are you seriously suggesting that MOST Bible scholars know they've dedicated their lives to a fraud and are doing nothing about it?

No. I am suggesting that their studies have led them to believe that a small fraction of what they are studying is not authentic.

Northwoods Conference Center, MI (they are hanging on like grim death to this one)

I so wish I could afford to purchase this property. The first couple years I would keep it the same name, hire some FJers and we run a deprogramming camp. We would advertise it something like "into the light and truth" .... After word gets around and the ATI crowd stops coming, I would make it a destination for people that love the outdoors- all year long. The UP is beautiful country and from google maps looks to be good hiking, snowmobiling and close to fishing, and 1.5 hours south of the Porcupine Mountains & Lake of the clouds,  etc.

I'm not all that far from there. Other activities could be cross-country skiing and visiting Paulding, an unincorporated community about 20 miles from the conference center where the "unexplained Paulding Light" has been seen for decades.
