Honestly, I have started writing this post many times over the last few weeks. After all, to me the reason for caring is obvious. But to many others without friends or relatives involved at Word of Faith Fellowship (WOFF), there may be some times when it becomes difficult to pay attention to the goings and doings of Jane Whaley, Sam Whaley and the members of their church. I have written a post titled, “Why Many Locals Do Not See the Mind Control at WOFF…” found here.. https://religiouscultsinfo.com/?p=1394  That post did not fully cover the answer to the question mentioned today.

    Previously, I would start a post on why others should care and as I wrote it all sounded whiny and selfish. “You should care because I and many others have been affected by Jane and WOFF.”  I would write about the many families who have been torn apart and “it just was not right!” But, I never published those drafts and I was just resolved to keep mulling the subject. Then I found a book at the library that helped put things in focus.

    “The Five Thousand Year Leap” by W. Cleon Skousen (copyright 1981, 2009 C&J Investments, ISBN 0-9815596-6-2) with a forward by Glenn Beck; has helped focus perspective on the answer to the question in the title of this post. The book gathers the..  “28 great ideas that helped change our world, and the funny thing is, the American Founding Fathers hardly invented a single one of them. But they did find them, and brought them all together in a single document that has blessed this great nation and the entire world.”  This book was published after I graduated high school and was not in the curriculum of any of my college classes. However, it is a must read for anyone, either inside or outside of a religious controlling group, who has a heart and passion to see this nation regain its footing and take the strong path to leadership once again in this world. The resources alone contained in the last third of the book are enough to lead one into an in depth study of American government.

   W. Cleon Skousen (1913-2006) was a world renowned teacher, lecturer and scholar for more than 16 years. He attended San Bernardino Junior College and later law school at George Washington University in Washington, DC, where he earned his Juris Doctorate and was admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia. Dr. Skousen served the FBI for 16 years as well as authored many books and pamphlets. In 1972, he organized what would later be called “The National Center for Constitutional Studies”.  (page 253-254)
