Blackmail From Outside The Body

There was a time when a former member tried to speak out against The Body, and he almost succeeded in his plan. First, the ex-member wrote about his experience inside The Body and passed it on to churches all over the Kenai Peninsula. Once the faith community was warned, he got the attention of a reporter in Kenai, and this reporter actually investigated the story on a much deeper level than would be required for an ordinary newspaper article. For the people who had their lives destroyed by the church, it seemed like the cult would be exposed and there might be justice on the horizon. The problem was that Marc B, the leader of The Body, was aware this was going on and he was prepared to kill the story with a classic smear tactic. The ex-member attempting to blow the whistle suddenly became a child molester in Marc’s version of events. The story was bullshit, but the lie did what it was supposed to do. The blackmail spread and soon the reporter was wary of using the former member as a source. No article was published.

Pieces of this missed opportunity are in a post to a message board we believe Marc B wrote himself. Further context for this is in another article on this website but all you need to know is that Marc was retaliating against the whistleblower and a preacher who had his back. The text is rambling and ridiculous, but in the following sample you’ll notice the newspaper is mentioned.
