Dear Zeusor and Blackhat,
Thank you for your thoughtful observations...
While I was in the JesusChristians, the operations in India began (I was never invited to take part...having fallen foul of David by that stage, as less "devoted" that I should be)......David routinely claimed unemployment benefits in Cherry's name (i.e. the payment for a couple was far higher than what David would have received as an individual) despite the fact that she (or other members of the JC's) were routinely out of Australia for months and months at a time.....David (AND Cherry!)were knowingly defrauding the Aust. Govt. On one occasion Cherry had only just returned from India when a Fraud Inspector turned up on the door step of the house in Paddington Sydney that very afternoon (David wasn't able to forge Cherry's signature particularly well....and the Dept of Social Security in Aust. must have begun questioning the bogus applications David was tendering....
Cherry's
"strict moral code" that Blackhat writes of, preventing her from "
lying" or
"doing anything dishonest" ...is more wishful thinking than factual description, (in my experience)...
.....you Blackhat, may only have had occasion to meet "nice" Cherry...
The "child" that Cherry now "devotes herself to"...of course being an adult woman, possibly old to the point that she is almost incapable of having children of her own now (David having assured Christine that time "wasted" on offsrping was time stolen from "Kingdom building"...Cherry mutely nodding in the background).....I still suspect that Christine will one day suffer a nervous breakdown once she realizes how David (and Cherry?) have simply "used" her over the course of their lives....
Notwithstanding, I do take your point though Blackhat that the (if perhaps only IMO, stupid) woman deserves a modicum of sympathy.....regrettably she will likely in full dementia, by the time David passes on....unless of course she happens to have somehow stumbled across that old classic "Arsenic and Old Lace", along the line...hmm, mmmmm....!

...I think you really have captured the "crux" of the matter here, Zeuszor....Kevin it would appear, is primarily interested in re-establishing relations with his mother (Opedius complex?).....hence this colors his view of all the "negative" comments that are made here, and which might "unreasonably" threaten his progress in this regard.......once David is dead and the JC cult no longer threatens the lives of other young people.... I too, will certainly support him in this endeavour (Cherry as I mention, is likely to be severely "cerebally challenged" by that point in time , I suspect....Kevins family though, would be a far better option than a nursing home),
The Rickross site, is a professional resource, that in my opinion,
is enormously influential in
UNDERMINING the credibility of any number of cults....
....presumably Kevin would not mind how many other "Joe Johnsons" are trapped into years of servitude with McKay, just as long as Kevin can somehow be "reunited" with his family,
(and while he "re-connects"....NO adverse remarks in relation to David, that Kevin has not either made himself or authorized, ...PLEASE! For God's sake....Don't spoil it all!)
....like you Zeuszor this is not a perspective that I can currrently share...
