MikeBB:
Based upon your responses and Jama's comments BB seems to be a questionable and problematic organization, which I would not recommend to anyone.
Thank you for acknowleding Jama as a reputable source.
BTW--There is no private messaging function until after 10 approved posts.
Fortunately, though you seem to be unable to identify any by name specifically as equal to BB, there any number of alternative places of learning where people can study Judaism, Torah and Kabbalah, that have no such complaints or problems.
I suggest those interested contact a local synagogue or Jewish Federation in their area. There are also some excellent educational resources such as Yeshiva University, Brandeis University and most State Universities have a Hillel Center, which can be an good resource.
You have been evasive and repeatedly not answered questions. And the pattern of your posts here has been similar to those involved in groups called "cults."
Anyone interested in comparing patterns can look at other threads on this message board about the Kabbalah Centre, Landmark Education, Scientology and the Potter's House to get the feel of that same pattern of obfuscation.
Please understand that you offering that churches you know of don't have meaningful accountability or financial transparency is not a meaningful response to questions raised about BB.
Overwhelmingly, most Baptist and Protestant churches do have meaningful accountability through democratically elected church govenment, financial accounting proceedures and reports as mandated by the denomination, constitutions and/or bylaws.
Perhaps you have a history of associating with churches and groups that don't, but as any Southern Baptist, American Baptist or Baptist Convervative would tell you, your experience would be the exception and not the rule.
As far as the Trinity Foundation is concerned the Ross Institute database has a subsection with articles about that organization.
See [

There is also a link to a critical site about the Trinity Foundation at the Links page and a critical book listed at "Books" within this database.
A thread on this message board also discusses Trinity, which has been ongoing for some time. Many of the posts on that thread are quite critical of the organization.
Frankly Mike, once again, by attempting to attack me personally all you do is make yourself seem like a cult apologist, anxious to divert attention away from questions raised about your group and leader.
Your performance here has actually helped to support Jama's statements and furthered whatever suspicion there is about BB.
And please try to understand that simply because you declare something a "non-issue" doesn't make it so.
