Hi Elmer🙂
There isn't much to tell. Just that Jesus said regarding truth: "You received free; give free" - meaning not to try to make a profit off sharing Bible truth.
Eric Wilson has a niche. He lures those who have recently escaped from the WTBT$ to his "fold" by claiming to be able to offer them something that the WTBT$ "withheld" from them. Then he asks for donations to help his "cause".
Jesus didn't form a 501c non-profit in order to avoid paying taxes. Anyone who does such a thing is compromised when it comes to "selling" truth.
I had the opportunity to speak with Eric via email and he exposed to me his disregard for Christ's direction in several areas, most blatantly as regards collecting money.
Here is some of what he said:
"Doesn’t the Bible say that a worker is worthy of his wages? Didn’t Jesus and the apostles accept donation?"
"If I didn’t receive financial support, just as Jesus and the apostles did, I would not be able to preach the good news to the children of God."
Then he repeatedly told me I was clinging to the WTBT$ teachings and falsely accused me of being a WT sympathizer, kind of like exactly what @AnonyMous kept saying.
Eric likes to say that if the JWs could see that their 1914 doctrine is false, it would undermine a lot of their other false teachings, like the false teaching about the appointment of the FDS in 1919, etc.
Eric's false teachings would also be completely undermined if the 144,000 was a literal number, because most of what he teaches is based his twisting of that part of Revelation. That is why he is trying so hard to hide the light on those verses in Revelation. He would lose his income if the people at Bereoan Pickets knew he was lying about "everybody Christian should partake."
Most churches in Christendom have been partaking of the emblems for a long time, so that's not the issue. For Eric, his niche is former JWs. Most exJWs who are religious don't end up going to a different Christendom church, but many are looking for someplace to fellowship. Eric tempts them by offering women to publicly pray with uncovered heads and saying it's appropriate for everyone to eat the emblems every month. By doing this, he tickles their ears and more people donate to his pocketbook.
The IRS paperwork just shows he filed his group as a tax-exempt entity. Jesus said we should "payback Caesar's things to Caesar" and not try to get out of it. Eric is sketchy, and it's not right for him to take advantage of people who have just gotten out of another cult and then ensnare them in a different cult. We should follow Jesus, not any imperfect man.
