I think CP is saying that he switched sides (like MG) and that he has nothing to hide. He didn't even mention Chad's beliefs. It is interesting that someone with seemingly close ties to Chad can disassociate from him so easily. Maybe it was just a business arrangement. I wonder if CP was part of the 144k.
IMO the wayward beliefs that can be found on AVOW likely aren't a matter of criminal investigation. Unless someone was in on the cult's murder plot or other crimes were committed I don't think they are in danger of being prosecuted. What is considered heresy from the viewpoint of the mainstream church isn't necessarily illegal.
I agree. I don't see CP's message as anything other than what it is: a (seemingly) genuine apology for having believed Chad's empty excuses around the disappearance of the kids, and the lack of cooperation with police, and for having defended him so stubbornly and vocally. He's neither apologizing for nor renouncing his own spiritual beliefs, which is fine by me. That leaves him safely among the vast majority of people, who believe all manner of things about invisible omnipotent super-beings, but who do not feel compelled to kill anyone as a result.
