Within the realms of religion and spirituality down through the ages there have been a number of sect, cults and secret societies formed which have not had the evolution of the individual soul as their prime objective, and have been set up purely as a power base where the energy of the followers has been used to further the particular agenda of one or several ... or of a system.
On the surface, the ideals have seemed great .. and in fact, everything has gone along fine for a period of time as people got to know one another and were joined together in the visualization of a common goal.
Having worked in the past within several of these organizations in Australia and having seen the way they work, and seen the ramifications for the individuals and having seen the end result?including investigations by national security of several "World Peace" groups (and prosecutions laid) ...
Now you may call me suspicious?and I will be the first to apologize to the list if I am wrong ...
But, my instinct... my intuition, my gut feeling based on experience not need causes me to ask this question ....
JJ did not fully?answer a question I posed on the list a little while back concerning the end objective of some of his writings nor whether he was heading in the direction of some of the sources he did acknowledge as having read in spite of the protestations of several on this list at the question I asked ..... I have written to JJ privately asking him to declare his hand and I await, with interest, his reply ....
If the individual health, well being and soul evolution for this list and those members here who choose ... is the prime focus of his writing, then the answer will be clear.
If the hidden agenda behind the Urantia Manuscripts and the works of JJ Hurtak and others similar is the end goal, then the answer will not be clear.

JJ:
Christopher - you often teach the importance of not reacting to our own projections, but I think that is exactly what you are doing here. You are over reacting with no cause, no evidence and nothing but my attempt to serve and help. Because I know myself I know your intuition is wrong here.
You express concern in your private letter to me that I may have connections with some sinister organization here on the earth. Let me first specify that I have nothing to do with any Urantia organization or Hurtak. I read his book around 20 years ago and that was all. I am not particularly impressed with Hurtak or Urantia. I cannot find a true newly revealed principle in either of them and the revelation of principles is my main criteria for value.
I am not a member of any church or even loosely affiliated with any organization among humanity. I haven't even joined the local Chamber of Commerce.
As Glenys said, I have stated my objects numerous times. Here they are in a nutshell.
(1) To do all I can to bring peace on earth good will to human kind.
(2) To enhance the power of decision and the exercise of free will for the individual and group.
(3) To free the individual and group from unearned and appointed authority, which is the mark of the Beast. I do this by teaching that all things must be tested against a person's own soul in connection with judging through mind and heart.
(4) To pass on teachings that I believe have much value.
(5) To stimulate higher spiritual progress and evolution.
(6) To do what I can to prepare the world for the coming of Christ.
(7) To have a good time in the process.
Apologies graciously accepted.
