I know people that were directly involved with “The Family” for a time. Crazy, bizarre people that spiritually abuse young/naive people. I need to see this documentary.

One thing I picked up from watching The Family documentary is that sitting around and talking about Jesus seems extremely BOOOORRRING

I watched that documentary last week. I was like "what?" The doc didn't really go into their theology. "Jesus plus nothing". I looked em up on the Internet. Still couldn't figure it out. Ha! Tim Heidecker? That's the guy from Adult Swim, right?

They’re basically a secretive Christian group of wealthy/powerful men that have connections all around the world and that are looking to groom the leaders of tomorrow and use Jesus as their role model for being a great leader. They have various programs where they...

have young people spend time with their organization and send them around the country to meet with various people who are “members of the family” to have “intentional conversations” about life and relationships. It’s all about asking each other uncomfortable questions.

I would say it’s spiritual abuse because it’s older powerful adults basically brainwashing young/naive Christians who haven’t even been in the real world yet.

Yeah, I watched the documentary. I got all of that. But I couldn't figure out what their theology was. Coe said it was "Jesus plus nothing". And, that's it. I was like "whaaa?" Haha

Yeah, I wouldn’t say their ultra conservative or very dogmatic. They’re just obsessed with leaders, power, success, etc. Basically, God chooses people to lead and we are assisting God in finding and making leaders of the future. It’s a group I would want nothing to do with.

My experience was that it was full of a bunch of narcissists with massive egos who were well connected and came from well connected families. Not my type of people. And yes, that’s Tim Heidecker from adult swim.

No joke, these friends of mine told me a story about some guy they spent a week with and one of the first questions he asked each of them was if they had a large, medium, or small penis.
