It's coming, Friends, and we need to see it as an inseparable part of our decision to follow Christ. In the end, he said that he would cause divisions between us and everyone else who is in opposition to him. In these dark days, that is going to include almost everyone. But we can rejoice, "for so persecuted the prophets which were before you," and we can rejoice because "great is our reward in heaven." Our rejoicing in itself is going to anger them further, but it will all hasten the day of His returning. Burn, brothers, burn!
The above quote is from David McKay about letting their light shine. I find it concerning that he is so deluded and that this delusion is being spread to his followers. Ross, on their forum has said [i:d154b9f221]"Imagine what would happen if we fall into their hands"[/i:d154b9f221]
I seriously think that the fear mongering that David is engaging in to get his followers to rally behind him needs to be considered in any action to be taken against him.
Ross, and ALL others within the JC's, [b:d154b9f221]ex members would do nothing to hurt or harm you in any way.[/b:d154b9f221] It truly saddens me to think that you would even consider that, and it shows just how deeply this fear David has put into you has gone. It is not the following of Jesus that is the object of criticism, rather it is the lies, manipulation, and need for absolute control that David McKay and, as a result of following his example, other leaders enage in.
Malcolm, with respect, and in response to your post. I prefer to be the recipient of any legal action that Dave may instigate against me, as opposed to the one initiating it, as to my way of thinking it makes it eaiser for others to see who is using force to silence whom. And I think that the way they are all thinking now that is important.
Regarding the formation of a new "Jesus Christians" group with some of us at the helm. That is not something I personally am interested in. I would be more in favour of a forum where ex members could share what is going on in their lives, as well as a place where we could each draw encouragement as we recover from the disappointment resulting from being part of something false.
