Re: Why are family members leaving Radiant Life Church of Katy

Love, I have no idea what the first part of your rantings mean. but if you are implying in anyway that I am speaking of the baby issue because of something I heard from someone else (the monkeys uncle) you are totally wrong. it is straight from Paul C's mouth. The knowledge is personal because he personally explained it to me. So I just wanted to clarify because i did not understand your post. i will continue to post about my personal experiences there and not what the monkeys uncle told me. And if you in anyway are trying to support the position of giving away a baby then perhaps you have lost touch with the things you claim you are. The bottom line is that I have personally witnessed, heard, and seen everything that I have posted about on this forum. I have not seen Tony sleeping with other women but I have seen what would seem to be inappropriate behavior with young women. Same goes for others in leadership, Ryan L being a big one. These are married christian men. So, from me you will get what I know based on what I have seen and personally experienced and really not much of it was good at Radiant Life. When I tell other people who are mature in other churches about the stuff they can not believe it. There is a long laundry list of very Godly, faithful men who have left because of the abuse, destruction, and havoc. Guys like Duffy, Beennet, Petrie, jewsk, Bianch, michalk, etc. it goes on and on and on. These men were with this church when it started so you definately got to see something is grossly not riteous at this church. and really your comments make no sense or logic. #1 the church in america needs reformation but that doesn"t mean that there arent good churches and you should stay at a destructive church #2 I support a system of checks and balances through the holy trinity--- what kind of generalized immature christian statement is this? How would this work to keep law and order on the streets? Man has a part in everything including building a church that has checks and balances. We are not robots who just float around saying oh the holy spirit wll take care of it.Did you ever thnk that God might be waiting for this people at RLC to start checking people for him? #3 this comment cracks me up--Transparent is not Tony and not accountable to a church body or 2000. they are both accountable to god but Tony is a leader and accountable to the people he leads. And again I would add I have seen you not keep your word but that is definately not the issue here and i really don't care. if you are hurt because your friend is being talked about get over it. he put himself in that situation and has definately been part of the destruction. But what is the real problem-- someone who really does not know the voice of God if he is giving away a baby was put in dynamic leadership positions at the church. same goes for the whole discipleship program or what used to be the discipleship program. I have seen so much competition between Ryan L, michael, others to get people to disciple that it is ridiculous. Everyone was building up their possee including your friend. The pastors and leaders had no accountability as to who was doing what. I actually would see these people waiting to pounce on people at church to get them in discipleship. matter of fact had a couple friends come to church who were blown away by it. Then most of these young pastors only became pastors because some supposed prophet prophesized them to be pastors and the elders voted on it. hence, guys who had not personality, no love flowing out of them, were put in positions to lead people. These aren't pastors, anyone can do this. there are plenty of people in business and athletics that can lead people. There are pastors who don't say boo to people. My family and friends are blown away when I tell them TJ (oh sorry another name change) is a pastor. anyway, love you have done a good job to get the keys flowing again. ps, it is sad that you so want to know who everyone is. i will tell you I am somebody and everything I am posting about is how RLC personally wronged me as a member of the body of Christ. I have better things to do than talk about what someone driving by a starbucks saw through the window going 65, or whatever. Mine are personal experiences and guess what, you will not be my savior, or mentor, or counselor, or whatever. I am talking to very godly men who have been in the faith and seen these types of things to maybe get a little closure but for now i guess i thought i had it but i don't.
moderater--- thanks for stepping in. this forum is definately about RLC. The issues about accountability and fiscal issues have never been fully addressed. I know one brother who called Pastor Tony out on some fiscal issues that were not godly or riteous and he has left the church because they shut him out once he started questioning. Again this is not from the monkeys uncle but from the brother himself.
