Many people will bump into members of the Hope of Israel Christian Ministries as they sell bread at Farmers markets across the state. One will see smiling faces, odd but pleasant people serving them as they purchase their genuinely wonderful bakery products. Few will have any insight into who they really are, who David Kriss really was and, what they represent.
On at least three occasions I have heard from members of the Cult that David regretted his final interaction with me. Indeed, I have heard that he hung around shopping centres near where I live in the hope of running into me. Obviously I cannot tell how David was thinking or about his regrets, but I can tell how he has acted.
I had an email correspondence with him some 13 months before he died. We bumped into each other in a local Shopping Centre and had a brief and amiable chat. He expressed a desire to meet up again, maybe for a coffee. I tentatively agreed to this, figuring that we may be able to work through some issues. Unfortunately, as you will see, the meeting never took place. David had my email & my phone number, if he really felt regret or desire to reconcile, he knew where I was and, he didn't. I wish that he did and I wish we could have chatted. My last email went unanswered.
Here is that email correspondence. For ease of reading I will paste it earlier to later. I post this to give some insight into how David dealt with people, you will see the same methods in his followers. His true colours begin to emerge in his last couple of emails.
