I am new to this forum. I am not really sure how or what i want to share at this point but i have not heard anything about the kool-aid incident that took place at rlc. I have read quite a bit of your posts over the last couple of days and have to say that alot of you guys seem to have figured out how to get a grip on your feelings and how to post only factual non emotional stuff here. How do you get past all the pissed off feelings and sense of rejection. Thats all i feel right now. I feel so angry at everybody i know for not stepping in and telling me to step out of fantasyland and into reality.

Barely escaped,
Did you just leave? Did you have any interaction with me in in Rworship? If you did, I would like for you to PM me. I have a lot of apologizing to do if so. I would love for you to post on the other thread. Your voice will have a lot of weight. If this is the only thread you can post on for now, I understand. I know you will get some healing. Just breathe and let God show himself to you. On one hand it is a shame that you were hurt and that you had to experience all of this, but on the other hand, you are blessed to have gone through this. Why? You will end up more discerning, more wise and more confident in you trust and love for God. Stay strong. Press in. Don't give up. Also, speak out. Tell your story. It helps in the healing process. Just some encouragment for you.

Bless you,
Ryan

I wanted to speak to this part of your post. Someone told me once that we can tell people the truth of the situation and they can believe us, but if they figure it out on their own they are more likely to have a stronger grasp on the negative situation. It is their own conviction and experiences that have spoken the truth to them. I can get upset about all the stuff that happens to my friends at RLC, but if it never happened to me, my experiences and testimony would be hearsay. I know what has happened to me personally. That is the strongest testimony I have.

While I was at RLC I did my best to speak the truth of what I was feeling. If I didn't like something, I didn't pretend to think it was great. I believe that people who know me, know that about me. I never, ever wanted to mislead someone.

P.S.- I know nothing of "kool-aid".

I believe they are probably making a joke in regards to the "Jonestown" cult incident back in the 70's when the leader and his practices were threatened and he poisened his followers with cyanide in Kool-aid. Just taking a wild guess.

I understand the "kool-aid" reference, I don't know any Kool-aid stories regarding RLC.
Anyways they didn't use Kool-aid in Jonestown, it was Flavor-aide.=)

You funny girl Nicole:)-

I believe that one big difference between someone like Jim Jones and Tony is "TIME". Give the enemy more time to work in the matter and this whole ordeal could become increasingly more wierd and dangerous. More authority given-more damage perpetuated. Once again, we need to stand up and to keep on praying.

The only time it was referenced here on this website is when Dr. Love mentioned it. I have not spoken to Arron in quite a long time but is that what you are making a reference to?

Hello Everyone of my Siblings in Christ! This is my first time to post. I have read so many hurtful experiences!
I do not know about any kool-aid incident at RL. How ever I do know how important it is to stay focused on My
Relationship with my SAVIOR and LORD. And I have had a many BLESSINGS and HUMBLING Experiences at
RL and Elk Grove Community Church when it was located on Dino Drive. I have come and gone several times
as a Worshiper! My hope is to share some of those experiences the Good and the Bad with all of you! And with
encouragement from the HOLY SPIRIT I will do so!
