After reading and enjoying two of G. Edward Griffin's books; "World Without Cancer" and "The Creature from Jekyll Island," I decided to persue membership in Mr. Griffin's "Freedom Force International" Group. I visited the website at www.freedomforceinternational.org/
I became weary when I noticed that they had their own creed (http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/freedom.cfm?fuseaction=creed). This creed talks much about individual rights, but not the source of them - the God of the Bible. This exclusion is illustrated in the diagram on the website - no God out the foundation.
Here Griffin has installed his "Creed of Freedom" as some sort of infallible doctrine. He's making his own religion.
My suspicians were confirmed when I viewed the code of conduct:
This flies in the face of the great comission of Matthew 28:18-20. "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (KJV)
We as Christians are supposed to expose error (2 Tim. 4:2; 1 Tim. 5:20; Tit. 2:15).
Griffin's message of "tolerance" and "unity" are no different than what the world preaches. And this talk of a "global brotherhood" should alert any true Bible believer. Griffin leaves little wiggle room:
It is impossible to be a Bible believing Christian and join the FF.
Further more, Griffin only discusses the ploitical aspects of the new worrld order. He neglects to mention the puppet-master behind he puppets - Satan himself. By not warning of who controls everything, Griffin is leading his followers into the new world order.
Finally look at the logo:
It's an almost perfect UROBORUS.
The "circular" (see earlier symbol) serpent biting its own tail represents eternity and the cycles or "circle of life." Medieval alchemists linked it to the cyclical processes in nature. The uroborus pictured here (encircling the UN symbol for humanity seen inside a "triangle" (see above) was the official symbol on for the 1996 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements pictured on all its literature.
The idea of a "circle of life" is in direct conflict with the Bible. A continuing cycle of death and rebirth is vastly different than the truth of Heaven and hell.
In conclusion, though noble in it's attempts to fight the new world order, "Freedom Force International" ends up mirroring the world's spirituality, creating a segway into satan's one world religion.

2. The principles in the Creed of Freedom are not subject to change. They will be the same a hundred or a thousand years from now. Therefore, disobey any directive from Freedom Force that, in your opinion, violates the Creed of Freedom.

9. Show tolerance, compassion, and good will toward all. Extend a welcome to members of all races, nationalities, religions, and cultures, provided only that they honor The Creed of Freedom. Expect diversity, knowing that, in spite of differences, our common mission binds us to a genuine global brotherhood.
10. Freedom Force embraces the highest principles shared by the great religions of the world but it is not intended to function as a church. It is open to those of all religious persuasions without requiring acceptance of any particular doctrine. While working with other members, refrain from criticizing or challenging their beliefs. Focus on those things that draw us together rather than those that divide.

Requirements for membership are that you:
1. Uphold The Creed of Freedom
2. Abide by our Code of Conduct, and
3. Network with other members in furtherance of team projects.
Although not a requirement, many members are active in local or national organizations that have influence on public policy so they may help to shape that policy on behalf of freedom.
