Guy and
Edna Ballard demanded to their followers kill their pets because according to
the Ballards the animals had been created by black magicians. And on this
matter, Gerald B. Bryan, who was a former member of the I AM cult, commented
the following:
The Ballards
teach their students to call for the “release” of certain individuals from
their bodies, but it is their duty, they say, to “free” all ANIMALS from their
bodies, because: “Animal forms were created in the beginning by powerful black
magicians.” (p. 22, Oct., 1936, V)
We quote:
“. . . It is
the DUTY of every I AM Student to call the Mighty I AM Presence and Ascended
Masters to Free All Animal Life from its discord, limitation, and
imperfection.” (p. 30, Oct., 1937, V., our capitals.)
To the
credit of some of their students, there was a protest against this inhuman
doctrine. One of them wrote the Ballard official representative, and received
the following reply:
“Now you ask
me if it is right to put animals out of their bodies. I am going to answer this
by simply telling you what I have heard Mrs. Ballard say — that animal forms
are imprisoned life and as you know, we have a decree in our magazine and one
in the new decree book sending all animals into the higher life and Light.
“Now, dear,
each one of us must interpret that as best we can. I do know many of the
students have put their beloved pets out.”
The fact
that many of these animal pets have been “put out” or “released” is again shown
by Guy Ballard’s letter to one of the students in November of 1937, dictated
and signed by him personally:
“When this
call is sincerely made and the desire for their RELEASE is felt in the
feelings, it is quickly effective in releasing this life . . . This is
accomplished in perfect peace and harmony as has been demonstrated in the case
of HUNDREDS of the students. GWB: PBC” (Our capitals.)
In other
words, hundreds of animal pets have been “released” because the students
decreed their DEATH!
However,
what really happened was admitted by the Ballard representative whose letter
was quoted:
“Many of the
students have put their beloved animals out.”
The decrees
didn’t work — so they chloroformed, drowned or otherwise killed their trusting
little animal friends!
One such
case is quoted in the letter below written in November, 1937. It is only one of
many cases where fanatical I AM-ers have killed their animal pets.
We quote:
“The phone
rang this morning and an I AM-er called and told me that another of Mrs _____’s
100% class was put in a sanitarium last week.
“It seems
that she owned a lovely dog and that they were told there were to be no more dogs.
She had the dog electrocuted.
“Her family
resented it so they had her taken to a psychiatrist who analyzed her and of
course she did not know when to speak and of what to speak, and started in on
the books, and when she was asked why she did not give the dog to ______, she
said, it was just as bad for him to have it as it was for her.
“Well, they
pronounced her insane and put her away last week. God pity them all.”

in America, chapter 26)
OBSERVATION
It is completely false that animals were created by powerful black
magicians, and this is one more example of the immense damage that the Ballards
caused to their followers by instilling such harmful beliefs in them.
