This is Emily Dale again and yes, Carol Brown DID say she was an angel, I have it on TAPE!!! I will send you all a copy if you would like! It's on a tape that she sent to me! It's the very first words on the tape actually. I will send it to you and also, a very good friend of mine who I led to the church told me over the phone just a few days ago that Carol claimed to be "an angel of light" to her. Carol is very manipulative sometimes and only says certain things to certain people. To the "more mature" in her eyes, she tells more. She has told me, my friend, and on those tapes that she is an angel. Yes, she also claimed she had an angel visitation, but she did say she was an angel. Also, yes you have friends outside the church and I never said I didn't. I said she was encouraging me to cut off my family and has done the same to other members. She uses the excuse, "they're a hindrance," but my family needs Jesus and I won't cut them off just because my "pastor" tells me they're a hindrance. The bottom line is she wants certain people to lose their families so she can be their family, their mother, their grandma, whatever. She even has the kids out there calling her "grandma!" How is that not proof? I am sorry, I agreed iwth every little thing Carol said up until now and my eyes are opened wide and I see the way she manipulated me. No, I didn't leave that church to follow worldly selfish desires. I am pursuing Christ in a way I never have before, spending my time always in the Word adn prayer. I am not running back to sin and by you saying everyone who left left for a negative reason is a typical sign of a cult! Cults always say former members had "no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative, or evil." In what way have I left in order to follow my selfish desires or sin???? In what way? I have not, but I have left to follow Jesus and Jesus alone. I will not let Carol Brown tell me I can't drive a black car, how often to change my sheets, and to leave my family. That is NONSENSE! She was controlling me. No, I didn't pull out from EVERY social activity, but I became less me, more Carol. I THOUGHt it was less me, more Jesus, but now that I step out of it, I feel more JEsus. My prayer times were so hindered that all I did was pray over the things Carol told me to. Now I pray and pray and I LOVE it again!!!! I'm so excited that I can adore Jesus the way I used to. I know I was in a wrong churhc before Carol's church, but I never stopped seeking God. Why, Carol, have you not responded to this? Don't you have anything to say to me or to say that you have never claimed to be an angel? Why? If you really thought I was leaving for selfish and ungodly reasons, why have you not written so? Because you know the truth in the bottom of your heart. That you DID claim to be an angel, that you are NOT an angel and that you control too much in your sheep's lives. I respect you, Carol, for the time you dedicated to prayer and the life you told me about leading. But what happened? Why do your sheep live in low-income homes and you in a big, nice fancy one iwth a pool and hot tub? I can't get my mind around it. From the very beginning, I had my doubts nad even Kearsten said, "I doubted her at first," but something happened. I closed the door to doubt because I WAS hearing good thigns too. Carol DOES teach the Bible, but she ADDS to the Bible. That's the problem. Can anyone give biblical proof that spiders mean there's a demon around? Can someone in the church give me any biblical proof? That there folks is adding to the Bible. There is no proof of that. She is adding things. Carol, I'm sorry, I know you do teach seperation from the world and holiness, but it's all about Jesus and the Word and telling me to lie is just wrong. Someone defend that one please. Why would a pastor tell their sheep to lie, to their parents!!!!????? Why? They wouldn't. A true pastor would not. Carol, you even said when you yourself lied to my mom, that you called your husband and said, "pray for me, I lied." He said something like you were protecting me or something, well you weren't. You were opening up doors so the enemy could hold a sin on me, a sin that my pastor told me was no sin at all. Lying is a sin. Sin is sin no matter what the effects of it. Tell me why an angel would have to call their husband (even though angels don't marry) and tell their husband they lied??? Also, there is no accountability higher than her husband? Does no one hold Carol accountable other than her husband, who in this situation appeased her lie? There is no accountability! Carol has too much freedom to control out there. I know, you guys, I lived it for a year and a half. I talked to most of you, and I know exactly how your mindset it. Why is it that my mind would change in 4 hours and I feel like chains have literally dropped off of my heart? I feel so free in Jesus now. You wouldn't understand, but I pray each of you will. Carol has thigns so that you don't even question your lifestyles. You guys, humble yourselves for a minute to see if maybe you are doing things wrong. I was so self-righteous and thought I was one of the ONLY ONES ON THE NARROW PATH!!! Guess what? I don't get to determine that! I must pray and press on, but who am I to say, "me, Carol, Kearsten, etc., we're all going to heaven and those people aren't." I'm no one to say that. And That was MY attitude, maybe that is your secret inward attitude too, and that's judging the world, which is strictly prohibited by the Word of God. We are only to judge those inside the church. Carol, you did teach me well, I admit. You did tell me many goodthings, yes. That's why I was tricked into beliving the bad. Just like the last church I was involved in. I left because I couldn't understand why my offerings were going to buy him a big screen TV and nice clothes when there were poor unbelivers all over the world who need BIbles. Ironically, I ran to the same situation. It's upsetting. Yes, I know you do send money to some good causes, etc. But God's money shouldn't be used to buy manicures and a whole new wardrobe for the already provided for members of the church. It should be used for GOD'S purposes. And don't tell me buying a 16 year old a manicure for the heck of it is God's purposes. I have no clue why I didn't see through this before, guys. I have no clue. I couldn't see because I was in a mindset of "no doubting, or you might end up going backwards and if you leave, you might go to hell." That was kind of my chain of thought. I didn't realize it then, but I do now. That's why I'm blowing this up! Not because I'm mad, angry, or "fleshly." I am concerned that all of you are missing out on JEsus because you're so focused on Carol's church. If she was a true pastor, you would feel so free to question her. I'm not takling as her what a scriputre verse means, I'm talking ask her why the heck she cares if people have black trucks? I'm talking ask her why she wanted me to leave my family and cut them off? I'm talking ask her why she thinks her only sin is "chocolate."? I'm talking ask her why her prophesies don't come true? Ask her why she said she was an angel? Ask her why her husband lives really far away and she doesn't go there in submission? Ask her why she became the leader? Ask her why why why? Then, align her answers with the word. She would say something like, "oh they misinterpreted what I was saying in the spiritual in the physical." In what way is she explaining herslef according to the word to to you? If you get an answer like that, go to another pastor. It's true, her sermons have much talk and little scriputre, her phone conversations have much talk and little scriputre. When there is scripture, how deep is it church? How far does she go? How far do you all go? Look at the fruit? Mike, please tell me where the fruit is. I can't find any stinkin' fruit and that's why I left. I refuse to be fruitless because I sit under a fruitless teacher. Yes, I know we all came out of sin and we're all doing better than before, but that shouldn't be credited to CArol, only Jesus. So why did I feel so chained to Carol? I felt like I couldn't go look at other churches. Yes, there's corruption out there, but I'm telling you church, look deep. There's corruption in our church too. Much corruption. Oh yeah, one time I asked Carol what happens to Christians when we die and she said we go right to be with Jesus. Then my friend asked her this same question and she said, "we go into a slumber I think. But I haven't studied that much yet." Tell me, what pastor doesn't know this answer as to what they belive? How can she live day to day preaching the Word of God and not know what happens to Christians when they die? I know you will all say, "she's lying, she's lying." But why would I lie about this? Why would I care so much as to beg all of you to test your pastor? Why would I care if my heart wasn't exactly like yours in following her? I care about you, that's why I'm telling you this. It's interesting that you say all I have to say is lies because that's what Carol always said everything that opposed her was. Lies. I don't know why it took me so long to listen to the "lies" of my family adn friends who cared about me before I left her church. Hear me out, please. Pretend for just a minute that what I'm saying is NOT a lie, is the truth. Consider that your pastor is on a CULT website and at least study and see what one is. Do you really want to be involved in something so fishy? I know you say the true church will be persecuted, yes yes. They will, but a true church doesn't follow a self proclaiming "angel/prophet" to the death. A true church follows JESUS anywhere and everyone, willing to suffer anything for HIS name. I've been thinking about it, adn what if God really wanted me to go to africa as a missionary. ok? But I would have been so preoccupied with Carol and following her in all around the country, and trying to get "mature" according to her standards, and completely missed my calling? Chelsea felt MUCH pressure from Carol to not go to college. So, she hadn't really decided yet. Now that she's out from under Carol, she was praying and said, "I feel so called to be a surgeon!" WOW! That's years of work and sweat to obey God's call, but she's willing, and the scary part is, that Chelsea could have missed her calling because Carol would have had her move out there and then who knows what? She probabably would have been pressured into working and not pursuing the call upon her life. Amber, I was praying for you one day during last summer, and the image of a nurse went through my mind and I felt that might be the calling God had for you. I shared it with KEarsten, who told me you actually HAD considered that. I told Carol and she wondered why I had told KEarsten, expected me to always go to her first, and then said not to tell you that, to let you figure it out on your own and said God showed me that just so I could pray for you. Well, Amber, now where are you? Working where Carol wnated all of us out here to work: Goodwill. Why? Because she wants the control over us. What if God's call on your life was for you to be a nurse? Would you, will you, ever pursue that? I don't know. It's a scary thing when someone pushes you away from the place God has for you. Carol, I know you think you're doing it all right and stuff, but please look and these things. Please humble yourself long enough to realize you might be wrong. Church out there, that was the hardest part for me - realizing I was wrong. Wronger than wronger, I was a hypocrite. I called myself a Christian, yet I lied, I disobeyed my parents, and I thought everyone else that I knew who wasn't in contact with Carol was going to hell (probably). That's how I thought. Now, even if that's not how you thought, don't you think a good pastor would have weeded out these bad thoughts from my mind by now? Don't you think a good pastor would have made it clear that there ARE others going to heaven and we are NOT THE ONES TO JUDGE??? Carol told me once that Mother Theresa was going to hell. She did say, "only God's the judge, but I belive she's going to hell. Not woman can carry around a rosary like that and still make it into heaven." Okay, whatver, yes rosaries are awful in my opinion, but who is ANYONE to say that ANYONE is going to hell? Everyone always told me this and I pushed it off and said in my mind, "well she is going to hell!" But people, listen. The Word of God does not permit you to say these things about people, to think these things about people. How I slept at night condenming so many to hell in my mind is beyond me? Why, church, is Mike the only one to attepmt to justify Carol's actions? Why can the pastor not even say, "no, I never called myself an angel?" that's my big question. She was never afraid to talk to me for a whole year and half even though my parents told her not to, but now she won't even give me some scriputre to support her actions. Chruch, promise me that if I send you those tapes and you hear her say she's an angel, you will question her. Promise me this. I love you too much to see you blindly follow man without considering the Word of God. I miss you too much to let you all go. That's why I fight so hard for you. Carol, I care for you so much that I want you to understand the hurt you brought me so you won't do the same to others. You all don't understand the change she caused in me, the silence she smacked upon my lips. She dried up my heart for God and stole my zeal, always saying, "don't lose you zeal!" But actions speak louder than words, friends. I lost my zeal while under her, but the day I was set free from her leadership, I got it back! I have a zeal for my savior and firend Jesus like never before! Kearsten, please listen. We both went into this and I'm pulling out. At least question something!!!! You owe yourself, your boys that. We questioned our last pastor and that's why we left. Question this one. There might be Lots and Lots of good that you see, but please deeply consider these things I'm bringing up. A good pastor would tell it's sheep to be educated about cults so they wouldn't fall into one. So, if Carol doesn't preach this, do it yourself. Educate yourself on cults. If you find Carol's group to be absolutely not guilty, then at least you'll know for next time. I always thought cults were dark, creepy, groups and dangerous suicidal plots. But that's not it at all. A cult is a group of people following usually a set leader for an reason other than the innocent purpose that is claimed by the leader. I belive Carol may be leading, unconciously, a cult because she is leading people to follow her and her ideas and thoughts, over the Word of God, which is the purpose she preaches. I know this is nearly impossible for all of you to see, it was for me too, but be guaranteed, I will never stop warring for you all in prayer, begging God to make it possible for you to see the reality of your leadership and lifestyle. Please, continue to reply to my comments. Please, don't belive that I am a liar, that is not true. I'm only repeating the things I've heard from her mouth. Fight my lies if you think they're false, I'll listen. Fight my arguments if you think they're unfair, I'll listen. But don't be so silent as to only listen to Carol's side - "she's a liar!"-Is probably what she's said about me. If you're not gonna argue with her, argue with me. But don't be sitting ducks for the enemy. Take an active role in your spiritual life. Make your own decisions based on prayer and the Word rather than what Carol or I say. Follow Jesus, not man. Kearsten, I bet if you had a child in the New Testament church times, you would have never considered running to Paul and saying, "should I name my baby this?" Paul would say, "foolish woman, seek first the kingdom of God. I am not your source of answers, go to God." So why does Carol think she has the authority to tell you "yes" and "no." Just think about it, please. I miss you so much. I don't belive it's God's will that we be cut of from eachother. God wouldn't cut Christians off from other Christians and the bible says that brothers and sisters and "those who obey the commands of God." Cady Jo, the only way Carol could justify you cutting me off is by saying I'm not a sister to you, meaning I don't obey the word. How can she say such a thing about me? you should know better than to listen to that. And if you're only cutting me off because Carol thinks I'm a hindrance or you think I'll change your beliefs about Carol, that's rediculous. Christians don't cut Christians off. Bottom line. I loved you enough to pray you out of hell last time and I love you enough to get you your freedom in Christ this time. Trust me, you don't understand the control that you're under in her group until you're out from under it. Still, many of your are not as severely under her control because she knows you would fight it, you would leave, like Chris, Mike. The men. But us women are more easily to control, especially the younger of us, Cady Jo, Kearsten, me. The men are the natural leaders of the home and she doesn't know how to manipulate them as well, but us women are much easier to control and I took that junk. She controlled me. That's why some of you don't understand what I'm takling about, because it didn't happen to you as severely. But don't give her a chance. Find a legitimate church and pastor. I'm not talking a building with a swimming pool, I'm talking a ligitimate Bible-beliving church group. If you want me to send you a copy of that tape, I will. Whatever you want, I'll help you. Just ask me, really. I love you all and I'm praying for you.
