Thanks i yam what i yam,
I watched most of the video you posted in your link and read the comments.
Of course a devout Christian is going to have a lot of problems with Moo, as they are very suspicious of anything 'new age' or occult. It is totally against their religion to be into such things.
Moo appleals to the crowd who want to escape tradional religion. So he constantly references Christ, the Buddha, God, even Mohammad, to make these seekers more comfortable. It's "religion lite" for those who have rejected traditional religion. That way he can draw in people who already have devotional urges.
But what I am getting at, is that Moo models himself on Jesus and compares himself to Jesus a lot, but does it in a cunning way. He also compares himself to Buddha, too.
He is not going to come right out and say he is the next messiah, he will never do that, of course. But he is putting it out there is a subtle way, for those who already have their boundaries collapsed through his brain-washing techniques.
He compares himself to "The Father" in the video you mentioned earlier. "This father will never reject you", I think was the name of the video you mentioned. Notice how Catholics say 'Our Father' when referring to God? I don't think it's a co-incidence that Moo wants to be our father! I think it is a very, very cunning ploy that he is using.
In an interview that was posted much earlier on in this thread, Moo is asked by a interviewer if he is running a cult. Moo says "Was Jesus running a kind of cult?" So he compares himself to Jesus. A very high and lofty comparison to make, and one that is not lost on his starry-eyed followers!
He has the long robe, the beard, the long hair.
Next he wil come out and say that he is being persecuted, just like Jesus was. This is something a lot of cult leaders use. His followers will close ranks around him and further cut themselves off from the out-side world.
We kind of know how this kind of thing will end, and it isn't pretty.
