THE BALLARDS PROMOTED THE KILLING OF ANIMALS


 
 
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.”

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.
