The face of the future?
Two weeks into my stay, David Coe, Doug's son and the presumptive heir to leadership of the Family, dropped by the house. My brothers and I assembled in the living room, where David had draped his tall frame over a burgundy leather recliner like a frat boy, one leg hanging over a padded arm.“You guys,” David said, “are here to learn how to rule the world.”
I ran into this article called "Jesus plus nothing" during one of my random Internet crawls. Originally I thought it to be a spoof, but it seems that it is the real deal. The article describes the experiences of a writer who infiltrated a "House" owned by "Family", where the scions of the rich and powerful are raised on ultra-conservative Christian values. It is a facinating glimpse into the culture that raises the future leaders of the planet. I have to say that the content is so incredible that I struggled with the magnitude of the piece, so many powerful men were involved in it that it sounds like a fiction novel rather than a piece of investigative journalism. How truthful is it? You be the judge.
Though it is long and obviously much disputed article, it is also very well written, facinating, and utterly, utterly terrifying.
Happy reading.
