Among other threats he told me about how much time he spent� thinking up ways to have me killed; that he spent a lot of time thinking� about what it would be like to watch me die a slow,� painful death."� >� >According to David, Richard Keeler threatened his financial livelihood-� and his life- on two occasions.�� >� >Allegations of such reprehensible criminal conduct by a Trustee warrant� your immediate attention and full investigation.� If these charges are� found true, they further require your appropriate action.�� >� >Furthermore, you four trustees are hereby informed or reminded of formal� allegations made against Richard Keeler by ex Trustee Martin Myers.� In� recent years since, various stories purporting to exonerate Mr. Keeler of� child molestation charges have been circulated among Urantians.�� However,� none of these "explanations" account for actions detailed in a twenty-two� page document written by Mr. Keeler.� A characterization of this document� was put forth by ex Trustee Martin Myers in a sworn deposition, who called� for Richard Keeler's removal as one who� "has admitted actions in writing� which show his unworthiness to continue to be a Trustee."� >� >From the deposition:� >[Myers'] reference� to the unworthiness of one of the Trustees to continue� sitting as a Trustee related to a certain document (the "Keeler document")� given to plaintiff on August 21, 1992, in good faith, independently of its� author Trustee Keeler, said document consisting of 22 typewritten pages� containing information about Mr. Keeler, Mr. Keeler's 4-year old daughter,� Liberty, his daughter's mother, Mr. Keeler's former wife and her daughter,� and their relationships with one another."� >� >There is additional testimony that others familiar with the "Keeler� document" were equally adamant that Mr. Keeler resign or be forced to� resign immediately.� Sadly, those persons do not include several Trustees,� whose resignations now allow EACH ONE OF YOU to confront a burden they� would not.� >� >While it may be understandable that the Trustees, in the midst of removing� Martin Myers, could not then address removing Richard Keeler, it is NOT� excusable that it has never been investigated since.� >� >Yet another disturbing accusation warrants investigation:� a charge of� first degree sexual assault occurring in Hawaii,� was purportedly filed by� the victim.� While there are numerous other details that could be included,� they are not pertinent to the request for investigation.�� >� >� >Can it be necessary to remind each of you of the sacred trust you hold as� Trustees of Urantia Foundation, and the profoundly important� responsibilities you each accepted with that Trusteeship?� Can you� recognize your credibility as self-appointed leaders of our movement is at� stake?� Can you comprehend each one of you are before the bar of God in� this matter?� >� >Chief among those responsibilities is the ability to comport yourselves� with the moral and ethical dignity of the very teachings you have sworn to� disseminate.� Commensurate with that is the duty to hold each of your� colleagues to the high standards of spiritual behavior revealed in The� Urantia Book, even as our society delineates acceptable standards of� conduct through its laws.� >� >� >Your bylaws state:� >� >SECTION 2.4.

Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis- directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
