Andrew Kessler: Only Mother Doesn't Ring True
The Blessing Ring of Hak Ja Han. The blessing ring given at recent Blessing ceremonies bearing only the inscription of Mother's signature has been cited by many people as purporting to be a significant fact suggesting that Mother has deviated from True Father by removing his name from a key item in the most sacred rite of the church. Respected elder brother Dan Fefferman, in the recent debate, offered the explanation that Mother could only "sign" her own name on the rings, and not sign Father's name.. Dan appears to refer to a legalistic concept according to which an individual is only permitted to sign his or her own name on documents. Unfortunately, as much as I might like to accept this explanation, i find it to be unpersuasive, at best. Mother did not sign her name to any ring, but authorized that a piece of jewelry be designed and manufactured with a replica of her signature alone, thus excluding or omitting a replica of Father's signature. It is incredible to me that Mother could have simply thought that her signature alone would be appropriate merely because she is "not authorized" to instruct that a replica of Father's signature be included with hers on the rings. The design of perhaps the most important physical accessory of the Holy Blessing is not something undertaken lightly or without deep and thorough thought. Would it be sacreligious of us to ask Mother or the senior Korean Leaders who advise her, why Father's signature was excluded from the rings? I believe it is a question/matter of great significance, at a minimum because it has been interpreted by so many of us as one of a number of Mother's acts which suggest disunity with Father. I apologize in advance if my question offends any brothers and sisters.

Татьяна Жмелькова: Father Made it Clear Who His Heir Is!
True Father's Heir and Successor
"No matter how young or youthful the heir is, he is the one who will supervise and control. Likewise, when the inheritance is passed on, it does not matter who is better or worse. When Father hands down this authority in the future, even if that heir is crippled, people must receive the Blessing from that person. That time will come."

"After that registration is done, True Father will appoint his successor. That successor must be known to all the Unification Church, all the blessed couples and the True Parents' family. They must all unanimously accept him. Once that successor is determined, the law or constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom shall be laid down to guide all activities. The law will guide heavenly citizens here on earth and into the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven."

"Today, at this time, there must only be one line of authority. The center, centered on Korea or on the world, over the entire Unification Church will stretch out and become larger. From now, I can leave someone in charge of my work on my behalf. Currently, there is no one among our church members who surpasses Hyung Jin in his standard of faith or in any other way. Do you understand? I am appointing him."

"Father, people were unaware of the fact that when midnight comes after the passing of early evening, the shining hope of tomorrow that is the True Parent, the True Teacher, and the True King, the representative of the kingship of hope, and the authority of the heir to that kingship, is here."
"At this time of transition today, this occasion is one where they can inherit the authority as the representatives and heirs who can attend to everything on behalf of True Parents."

Kevin Leopold Brugman Remarks on George Vargas's post
George Vargas is "hitting the nail on the head" by bringing up this important issue. Thank you George.
George posted:
The following is taken from a conversation I had with an elder in the FFWP. Has anyone seen or heard anything like this before. I don't know what to think of it. I assume it is part of a newly revised DP being taught in Korea, perhaps in Las Vegas as well.
"The Principle of Creation is the only Principle. The rest of the book is about restoration history which should never have happened. TP said that in the time after Foundation Day we have entered the time before the Fall and everything related to the Fall will wither away.
True Father is very clear later, after he went the John the Baptist course and wrote the Principle to explain to evangelical Christians who he is, that the crucifixion should've never happened, but since it did, it left the fulfillment of Adam and Eve unfulfilled. There was a perfected Adam, but no Eve.
The purpose of the second coming is not to have a perfected Adam, that was done. It was that perfected Adam find Eve and together make the True Parents."
**********
I'd like to share my comment below:
Yes George Vargas, this is what they are teaching. Before I left the FFWPU, a sermon was given on this very topic. I think their argument is very persuasive, and true to some extent; but very misguided.
First, the principles of restoration and the principles of creation are the same. God did not change the Principle to restore humanity. Instead, the same principles are used to re-create us, so that we can be fully restored to our original position.
This "new" understanding is very much focused on the ideal of self-perfection, and being sinless as a single person; but not on lineage and family. It's actually the very reason I've heard from many people as to why we shouldn't teach DP to 2nd gen.
Second, True Father's entire life course was for restoration. If you remember, the True Parents should have been accepted by Christianity from 1945-1952. The Divine Principle was actually put together before True Father started his mission as "John the Baptist" from 1952-1992, which was the wilderness course due to the failure of Korean Christianity. And even after 1992, the providence was extended. So, following this "new" train of thought, your Blessing was not complete; and the UC, and everything accomplished during that time period, including True Father's words should be changed or erased to fit the "new era of heaven", after "Foundation Day".
Third, how could the purpose of Adam be perfected without a lineage. Also, Adam and Eve have very different roles. Adam comes with the seed of lineage and represents the physical body of God, while Eve is God's wife. The lineage is passed down vertically through Adam, and multiplied horizontally (one generation) through Eve.
Fourth, this "new" train of thought gives credence for completely erasing Father's course. If the "perfected" Adam already came 2000 years ago; and True Father's course was almost completely centered on indemnifying the 6000 years of Biblical history, than Mother and her Archangelic associates can argue that the era after the coming of heaven is the new era of welcoming the only begotten daughter, which is the era beyond the fall.
I don't think that our future descendants should completely forget restoration history. Maybe the process of restoration won't need to be applied; but I still think they will learn the history. And like I said, the principles of re-creation and creation, are the exact same thing.
Ivan Janer: TRUE MOTHER – LEFT UNKNOWN
My greatest regret is that True Mother couldn't find people to help her find her own voice without distorting Father's voice, his wishes, and his legacy.
My love of True Mother was always about what she had to endure in order to support True Father. Those are the stories that I would have loved to have been able to hear about. I wish I could have heard the unspoken words of what it meant to support such a man, and how now that he is gone she would be spending time healing her family, and being there for the children she had to abandon in order to help True Father. That would have been a True Woman worthy of wanting to know, respect, and look up to.
I don't need another Second Coming. I don't need someone to change Father's words. I don't need another woman that men can lie to in order to keep their jobs and positions.
She has thrown away the greatest moments of her life worth honoring.
It was her choice.
