Former members of secretive sect Two by Twos claim leaders receive gifts of cash

The implied claim of "manna from heaven" is a complete fraud
 Post #184 from Wings For Truth makes it clear

2x2 ecconomics is reversed money laundering --taking clean money from membership and turning in into "dark" money far out of reach
 any  legal transparency.

Systematicaly moving  large sums donated funds into a non-transparant void were non-identifiable actors can tranfer it in a non-traceable fashion to serve non-defined purposes outside the reach of any approved accounting principles. 

I personally dug into this issue after our expulsion and made contact with a couple of "trustees" (see post #184) and higher ranking ex-workers with access to "significant storage" accounts.  
I didn't uncover significant misuse of these resources but the dishonest denial of their existence is a clear moral issue.

#184		 An extensive, clearly written document about the
intricate 2x2 financing system

Since the Dean Bruer case broke, sexual abuse,  especially 'Child Sexual Abuse' has taken main focus of 2x2ism's multiple "dark sides" and systematic dishonesty. It is important to recognize that there are many other aspects  of the group that lack moral dignity and Christian honour.

 Blatent dishonesty in   'point blank denial' of the organizations extensive, well filled financial system  is one of them!! 


#183		 Another public article about the enormous moral breakdown that 2x2ism still denys significance, and refuses to deal with


Posted here  2025-10-24

At one time, I genuinely admired the 2x2 doctrine and principles, believing them to be “the perfect way.” I was proud to be part of it!

Even early in my days within the work, I recognized the need for positive adjustments in how that “perfect way” was applied.

Later, I began to see that aspects of 2x2ism and its leadership had drifted seriously off course in moral judgment. Still, I held on to the belief that “God could and would take care of it.”

By the time of our exit in 2001, I had come to see the deep moral disorder that was spreading and began to question whether there was ever a genuine foundation at all. I was deeply disappointed by the lack of honesty shown by the entire fellowship, which I then believed was simply 'misled'.

When the DeanBruer sexual abuse issue surfaced and I witnessed how it unfolded, it confirmed to me the complete absence of moral integrity within the organization. How could anyone fail to see the ugly message in that development?

Today,it is hard to feel anything but absolute disgust for the false pretences in the entire organization and for everyone who continues to support it. Today there are no excuses left for anyone who claims to care the slightest about Christian decency.

The beautiful forces of good in creation are no mans personal property .. They are not the property of any political ideology or culture -- They are not the product of any religious notion - and absolutely no religion has the slightest monopoly on them.
They are like mountains and valleys on the planet that we live on. These amazing and powerful forces of good have existed since the beginning .. and will remain long after any of us have passed --They are freely accessible to each and every one – without condition-- as we choose to lay hold on them.
With this in mind, Is there anything so arrogant, so hypocritical and so repulsive as any singular fellowships self-righteous and fundamentalist claim to a complete monopoly on the possession of divine 'goodness' --- over every other collective, life principle or society in the entire world? This mindset defiles basic dignity!

Next month it will be 60 years since I chose to devote my life to a religious system that I then believed to be honorable and good. 36 years later down the road, this same system declared me and my entire family to be "evil", unworthy and very publicly expelled us at a major organizational event 2001 here in Sweden. (this, after I had exposed a series of undeniable international moral abuse issues at that time)

In reality, this exit turned out to be the beginning of a wonderful new chapter of life fulfillment for our family. Today, we are very thankful for it.

However, during the 24 years since then, countless independent sources have uncovered layers upon layers of profound moral corruption within that same organization - hundreds of victims have come forward!. .. Perversion on every level, right to the very top leadership figures. (The abuses include rape, systematic sexual abuse and exploitation of minors, systematic crime coverup, indifference to suffering etc etc.) Worst of all is the complete disregard and indifference shown for the life-destroying situation for literally hundreds and hundreds of still suffering abuse victims.

How can anyone with the slightest moral dignity be aware of such an obvious corrupt reality, and yet continue in an imaginary bubble, to baselessly and ultra self-righteously claim a complete monopoly on the "favour of God"?

2x2 is known for it's illicit inbred culture of secrecy - telling the truth is a crime! We found out the painful way!

“Know this: the Truth-Teller is a healer, a rebel, a disrupter, and a catalyst for change. The Truth-Teller shakes us to our core, makes us honest, confronts our demons, and validates our desires. The Truth-Teller is a spiritual guide, an artist, and a word warrior. The Truth-Teller is a sword that divides us and the healing balm that unites us. The Truth-Teller is wild and dangerous and the liberator we need. The Truth-Teller is not someone we arrive at becoming; the Truth-Teller is a choice we make every single day when we advocate for our voice. So speak your truth, feel the fear, and be the Truth-Teller you long to be because you are worthy of it.”

At first glance the advice presented is OK until the "professing" title is referred to meant to be some kind of a  qualifier!!!  If I have learned anything from my 60+ years exprerience it is that 2x2 membership represents maximum inconsistancey and hypocrisy in anything to do with moral principle.

Anyone bearing the label "professing" or "worker" is suspect of furthering moral devience -- and of resisting the finer moral principles in any decent life style.

Then to underline this issue -- We all know at this time that the 2x2 organization these folks represent, has openly defied the application of the principles listed in this letter ... and i most cases directly refutes them.

Join us as we delve into the chilling depths of the 2x2 Church through our reaction to the documentary "Secrets of the 2x2 Church." This secretive group, with no official name, is now facing an FBI investigation due to over 800 abuse allegations against its leaders. In today’s video, we'll uncover shocking revelations and discuss the potential unawareness—or deliberate ignorance—of its top leaders about these abuses.
It is unbelievable to some of us "onlookers" how that inspite of such large volumes of documented examples of  undeniable moral failure on top levels -- of complete systematic disregard for the suffering of countless victims ... of deep and clear organizational  efforts to protect and defend perpetrators .. as well as to cover up evidence.


How can so many continue to claim an organizational  monopoly on the favor of God --- and continue to declare  disrespect and diminishment of the righteousness of EVERY other  group and people in the world?
What is self-righteousness? What is hypocrisy? What is personal dishonesty in the face of uncontestable reality?

Potential long-term effects of child sexual abuse

The disregard for the extensive mental damage done in Sexual Abuse is blatently unique for 2x2ism. 

As well, 2x2isms unique willingness to harbor known sexual abusers in closed social circles is an afront to basic honor and dignity in the normal world.

A quote:"Understanding how the cult operates from within, I can speak to the ways in which it disrupts the core identity of every individual under its power, creating layers of distortion that disorient those born or brought into the system."

 CSA Prevalence in US Male Workers

47 specified sexual abuse convictions within  2x2ism

2024-10-12

Published on  'Exposing Abuse: 2x2s' FB group

These are direct convictions!! -- As well, there are 100s and hundreds of allegations that are still under investigation or haven't yet been taken up in the legal system.
 

To remember, is that for every typical conviction and  allegation multiple victims have most often been targeted and abused. This indicates that numbers are in the thousands within the fellowship who have suffered life destructive abuse.


Yet the issue is still brushed off as insignificant by a majority of 2x2 participators!

Is there forgiveness for wrongdoings in alcoholism? Yes of course there is. ---- But this forgiveness does not change the diagnosis of alcoholism and this of course includes long term (often lifetime) suitable constructive restrictions.

Is there forgiveness for horrible destructive deviance expressions of a pedophile? In my opinion yes --- but again this forgiveness does not change the clearly identified personal perversion involved

 --- Refusal to deal with the scientifically so well defined risks for relapse, is irresponsible at best, and clearly criminal in western society. This is what is happening within the 2x2 fellowship now. (And has been systematically happening for the last 100 years.

This is a very major development within the "2x2 reform movements".  Amongst other things he has been prime figure in the "WingsForTruth" 2x2 information service since its founding.

A good and valued friend of mine going back to some of my first years in the work 55 years ago.

 No one has tried harder, for so long and in such an honorable way to uphold basic simple moral dignity and honor in the fellowship ... and then in his own words understanding that it has  "failed". As a result of arriving at this conclusion, he has  shown the courage and will to openly express the available remaining choice to maintain personal integrity and honor. Proud to be his friend!!

Now with the recent defections of most of the most honorable long standing remaining forces in membership – the remaining participators have downgraded themselves to a group of either the "willful ignorant" .. or to those with a basic non-interest in basic decency or moral honor.

The lingering effects of sexual trauma

An interesting and authorative article by knowledgable people at the Majo clinic regarding sexual abuse/trauma even in less violent situations.

#102

 I think it is uncontestable that the 2x2 population in general grossly under-estimates the life damage that sexual abuse is responsible for. Especially workers have little compassion for the very large body of victims with symptoms years later.  Exaggeration is the first ugly word that membership will come up with in discussion. 

And now paradoxly the major discussion in 2x2ism is how to deal with proven perpetrators.
