Regardless of Mr. Besser's accuracy of prediction, his writings are the main reason that I have become so actively involved in all this over the past many moons. Without them I probably would not have come into this fold as it were. My interest in the Urantia book would have continued to be mediocre had I not discovered his websites. And I still greatly enjoy reading his stuff, as to me much of it is thought provoking and genuinely interesting.
So let me say that his work has born fruit, and I am appreciative to him.
I just wish that all concerned here would knock off this terrible negativity.
It is unseemly, and unkind, and if you don't like someone's style -- don't read their stuff. Isn't that simple?
Let's kiss and make up and move forward? OK? There's no reason to be mean spirited on ANY of our parts.
"Anger is like a stone hurled into a hornets nest"
And yes, I take ALL transmissions from other dimensions with a grain of salt.

Dear Craig,
If you were to probe beneath the surface of tension that is apparent in this moment, you would find all here appreciate and I daresay actually love Ron. I do, and I have always found his work to be of 'interest'. There are however dangers that beset the crusader spirit if not controlled by spiritual insight and loyal devotion to the commonplace social obligations of human loyalties. ([http://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-100-religion-in-human-experience?term=crusader%7Cspirit#search-jump-result-10 1]) These have become manifest over time in the Teaching Mission community and it is the effort to guard against such that you witness the chagrin expressed toward this recent episode.
Gratefully,
Rob
