The Family: Netflix exposé raises questions on influential apparent cult

Is The Family powerful and dangerous?

Could the Fellowship effectively be dangerous due to influence? Yes. For example: The Family was in cahoots with homophobic Ugandan despotic leaders who murdered homosexuals in their country. Though it distances itself in the aftermath of the regime’s atrocities. At least one other arms deal is consequently done after missionaries meet another African autocrat.

A regressive, misogynistic entitlement consisting of: men at the top of hierarchy, and women being given almost arranged marriages, is another disturbing element of the production. As the young man embedded at the beginning of the program matures, he begins to learn of these troubling matters.

Now the youthful writer who’s joined the cult starts to ask himself, superiors and elders questions about what exactly he is involved in. Summing up the entity as:

"“Not just a Christian organization but a fundamentally undemocratic movement at the heart of religious conservatism in United States for 70 years. And what I discovered that this organization that denied it was really one of the greatest networks of powerful figures in the world.” – Author, Jeff Sharlet"

Senators, Congressmen as well as many other predominant people are also prevalent. Unfortunately for those involved in what they perceive to be innocent network, it is clear that a foundation funds to dispatching elected officials, to spread its gospel to foreign lands and dictators. We don’t know what their aim exactly is but it already technically breaks the First Amendment.

An allegation is that these conduits are influencing politics of external countries. Additionally, some wonder if the US Treasury is indeed funding some trips. Which is something former-Congressman, Mark Siljander who is associated with The Fellowship, was convicted for.

Episode two, “Chosen,” exhibits a former investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who is told by a respected colleague that “Doug Coe is the most powerful man – you haven’t heard of in Washington D.C.” She learns that Coe is in ascendancy behind the scenes with political influence on a who’s who of global principles.

Coe’s story is expanded on: we are informed that he was an “awkward” man from Oregon times taking over The Family in 1969. He wanted anonymity or invisibility for his organization, he got it in his lifetime. Surely the media could have exposed this fiasco of megalomania.

Actually, we can more directly guess the reciprocity as being entangled with presidential campaign donations, as well as Donald Trump securing the deplorable evangelical vote by any means necessary – Mike Pence as vice-President being the deal-breaker. After seeing every POTUS since Eisenhower at the “Prayer Breakfast”, it is disheartening that no-one has exposed this corrupt looking entity.
