Taking a slight offramp in this episode, let's talk about a recent case where someone associated with the Urantia Book is "cancelled" because of so-called "ties to eugenics."
Alvin Kulieke, related to David and Marilynn Kulieke (early readers of the Urantia Book), was a long-time teacher and principle at Prospect High, well regarded for his long tenure at the school. A student journalist who looked into the Urantia Book felt its writings promoted eugenics, which, of course, is ludicrous. Still, the school board did agree to remove Alvin's name from the school's theater marquee. This being the first event I can recall where the Uratia Book resulted in someone being "cancelled."
The lesson is we, as students of the revelation, need to prepare for defense. The Urantia Book makes many bold proclamations, that, if taken out of context, could be used against it.
Today, there are many forces in the world that would prefer the Urantia Book ndid ot exist; its liberating truth gets in the way of the sordid influence being wielded by organizations of great power. They refuse to believe that "the Most HIgh rule in the kingdom of men."
It will not just be the Urantia Book that is attacked,, it wll be all of Christendom under fire. This recent epsiode in Upstate Illinois just demonstrates how easy it is for instituions to cave in on (supposed) public opinion.
