Finished the "limited series" (what does that mean?) The Family on Netflix and so often to think about One of the Chosen
A very impressing and informative little series, dealing with a group of men who had the idea to find people, young men, to become god-chosen leaders in Washington. Of course this summary doesn't even hit the tip of the iceberg, what they brought to the light is astonishing.
I knew about the evangelical influence in those political areas, but i never heard about this group.
The series has 5 parts and the first is more about the author of a book about The Family, who also was a memeber for a short time.
But very early on i had to think about One of the Chosen, the story Justin tells there, how these things work out, the ambitions etc, and i wondered how the song would have become, when he would have described these kinds of "chosen ones", the western chosen evangelical ones instead of the eastern type of religios fanatism and blindness.
I think it would have gone more in the direction of Nothing Touches than the rhythmic, ritualised beat in One of the Chosen.
