Yes more secrets at Turning Point! My wife pointed out that you all may not know about the move to the High School (if it goes through). down to one service. This is because attendance is down by over 400 people. But the question should be why spend the outside money to move to the HS when you have a perfectly good building that holds or houses plenty for where you attendance is? You would be able to save thousands per month to stay in your bingo hall.
Also want to commend Chris Gutenkauf and Cathy Shaw for listening to the voice of God and delivering a unassualting word to Cindy Villamor and Mike Villamor although he was out of town, and my suggestion for further meetings with TP leadership is to take a recorder. TP elders have a perfected the art of twisiting the truth! And interestingly enough they are never the ones who are wrong. A small twist of the truth, means and allows for a larger twisting of the truth: for instance it was said at the congregational accusatory meeting of Pastor Jackie Singer (she will always be Pastor Jackie in our family) it was said they were so mad they exited out seperate doors. Now this may seem benign, however it is not true. They both came out the same door and it was witnessed by at least two. A small twist of the truth, but there you go, Mike Villamor, a mistruth out of your mouth!!! Bitter and sweet cannot flow- I say white lies, lies and truth are the same, they cannot flow, way to clogged with crap and deception, so the truth is never clear. Seems to me that the mtg where elders met with Sid and Pastor Jackie was a ruse. A deception, how did they get them there? Reconciliation? Repentance? I say it was a calculated move to Ruin! I have had much contact with those who are staff over the years. It is sad to me that they were all fearful of the Villamor's. Great way to run your church. I fear for TP it may be too late. Get ready other churches of Marysville and surrounding areas, it looks like your attendance will be going up for real- You wont need to add i n duplicate numbers like TP does.
To everyone who has left, to everyone who is thinking about leaving, May the Holy Spirit direct you into all truth, DO NOT rely on the voice of the elders at TP. Pastor Jackie told me at one time when I had approached about leaving TP, she said 'Listen to the Holy Spirit in you, we all have access to the same Spirit and Living God, be a Berean and search out the scripture, and God will speak to you, His voice usually comes in a whisper, so be ready to listen, and tune your ear' This was last July 2008 after she had returned from a vacation. I will never forget that meeting. I may have just blown my identity but I will never forget that meeting. We prayed and the HS came through her words. I did listen and it was difficult to decipher the world verses the Spirit, but He spoke to my heart and we are gone from TP. It took a over a year. BUT GOD SPEAKS! May God bless Pastor Jackie for the pain, humiliation to her and her family and the ruining of a a good reputation within her community! ONCE AGAIN SHAME ON YOU ELDERS!!! Yes I am shouting! and for those of you who have chosen the way of shunning SHAME ON YOU AS WELL! I think Jesus is shedding a tear or two at this very moment for the church in Marysville!
Dear Wherefromhere.... thank you for your update. I thought it was down to 200 people? It's sad with all the hundreds of people who have been hurt by two people ~ i guess including the elders and deacons. to DB she has and will step over anyone to get to M&C; she still hasn't grown in my eyes. BUT my eyes is not what counts!
Over the years I've realized that you have to be "strong" in the word of God to be able to not have "fear of man". Leaving TPC was one of the worse life experiences we have gone through, and many know, we've been through alot. They hurt us on the way out and they continued to hurt us after. Many move away from Marysville due to TPC. It's difficult to get away from their grips.
Chris Gutenkauf is amazing with her gifts. I've seen things come to pass with what the Lord has given her....
Till this day, i have a hard time trusting people. TPC was our life... that was the problem!
