Dear Trustees:
David's second appeal must not be allowed to be ignored.
This is a very serious matter that cannot be rationalized nor swept under
the carpet. I will personally appeal to you, as Trustees and servants of
the Urantia community. It is urgent that you respond.I am urging all Urantians who value their own freedom to likewise let
their voices be heard.No one is safe - no one - if one of us is under siege.
Much Love,
Larry Mullins

>>Dear Trustees of Urantia Foundation:
>>
>>In the spirit of the unity which you are attempting to foster, on two
>>occassions during the past few months I have personally approached Mr.
>>Keeler for the purpose of finding some means of bridging the personal and
>>organizational gaps which exist between us. The result was my endurance
of
>>several hours of severe psychological abuse -- one hour in March of this
>>year and two hours several weeks later in April of this year.
>>
>>This psychological abuse consisted of a variety of threats made by Mr.
>>Keeler against my personal and social self, as well as enduring his
>>description, in excruciating detail, of his personal actions which have
>>resulted in a variety of charges being brought against him in the past.
>>
>>Much of this is known to some of you. I communicated to Mo and Gard
>>immediately after the San Francisco encounter that Mr. Keeler had made
>>statements which I took as serious threats against my life. They both
urged
>>me to attempt communicating further with Mr. Keeler for purposes of
helping
>>him get himself under better control. I attempted to do so again at the
>>April meeting, only to endure another two hours of abusive monologue from
>>your President.
>>
>>Gentlemen, your effort cannot be advanced through coercion and force, be
it
>>legal, psychological, or even physical. If you would be greatest among us
>>you *must* serve us all. In these early years of your efforts I urge you
to
>>begin by placing your own house in order that it might adequately support
>>the structure you indicate you wish to create. Neither can you expect to
>>gain the support of the readership for your efforts unless you can
honestly
>>and clearly demonstrate the moral, social and spiritual integrity of the
>>foundations upon which you are asking us to help you build.
>>
>>I would like to request that you evaluate, per provisions of your bylaws,
>>the conduct of your President in the situation which I have described, and
>>either issue a written report to the readership explaining why, in spite
of
>>this and other serious problems reported over the years, you consider him
>>well qualified to serve as President of Urantia Foundation, or take
>>appropriate action to remedy the situation.
>>
>>I believe that an honest report on the matter described above -- and the
>>taking of appropriate action if deemed necessary -- is an essential start
>in
>>establishing the baseline of credibility you need in order to gain the
>>supportive confidence of the readership community.
>>
>>"The quality of the social torchbearers will determine whether
civilization
>>goes forward or backward." 81:6.26

>>Sincerely,
