I hope you can find a happy medium, it's very kind of you to be looking out for him.
Welcome to the forum [Image: cid:0E86EBBB-A0EE-43AD-B1ED-73A007259548]
Thanks!
>>Sorry, that's a bit harsh towards vultures.
That’s probably an understatement.

Film would be great! What is the name of it?

Yes, I don’t want to come off too strong. From the reading I have done they will tell you satin is working through family members to keep you from being saved.

I have issues and am overwhelmed here at my house I have to take care of.  So the amount of time and energy I can put into research is pretty limited. I did read of failed predictions and how they isolate their prey from family members so that they can brainwash them.  How they always come in two’s.  That’s so that they have the psychological advantage over their prey and for training purposes.  If they don’t think they can convert you they won’t give you the time of day.

The stuff with the failed scriptures my eye’s glazed over. But I think that might be helpful cause he seems to like being able to stump them. If I can make him think he’s seen through there scam on his own and how dangerous they are.  As opposed to my trying to get him to see this. The part about even allowing children to die before allowing them a blood transfusion would be very useful if I could find actual cases cause he’s practiced medicine since the mid 50’s Had his  own private practice retired from that.  Than all the way up to a few months ago working as a MD &  later a consultant for a public institution.

I have always been cynical about peoples motives. So it’s hard for me believe getting his money isn’t a large part of their intentions. I’m sure they think their saving someone at the last minute.   But at the same time laying down the groundwork for securing resources.

>>I understand how doing things behind his back, even for his own benefit, may end up making things worse.
My fear also. I need to talk to my brother about this but want to be careful in how I go about it for the very reason you stated above.
>>I hope you can find a happy medium
Me too!  I think I need to drop everything I am doing and focus entirely on making sure these people don’t get to him. He has always been skeptical of scams and scammers in the past.  Although I think 15 years ago at one time a scientologist had convinced him they were not so bad either. He seemed to be buying it. At the time I wasn’t worried about them but obviously they were laying out  the early stages of the grooming process.  Now I think he is very susceptible. They are more dangerous.  And I should have gotten concerned much earlier.
