Here's just a foretaste of what's soon to come in the great theocratic conspiracy. Secular journalist, Jeff Sharlet, is soon to release his book (The Family) on the secretive Washington-based group, The Fellowship (see video below). Doug Coe, longtime leader of The Fellowship, apparently had no communications director, because Coe often cited history's most infamous leaders as models for power and cultivating commitment. This has brought the religious political group significant criticism. Sharlet had spent some time with the group and actually "lived" to tell about it.

Let me be clear that Jeff Sharlet himself is not the conspiracy theorist. His investigation of The Fellowship focused exclusively on the internal operations of the secret group. However, Sharlet is a highly respected journalist, and no doubt his book will throw fuel on a fire we've been laboring to put out. I've had some communications with Mr. Sharlet, and he has made it clear to me that he does not hold to the conspiracy theorists of the far Left critics.

I've already read a few articles that attempt to tie Doug Coe to Rushdoony, so I'm not sure how this will play out. I was just starting to relax, and Sharlet comes out with an explosive book that's sure to be misused by those more dead set against Christian Reconstruction.
