saw a memo in the office the other day that said "we need to be very careful what we say to people on the phone or at the desk. Here is a list of topics we are NOT to talk about. pastor jackie, tony cunningham, apostolic ministry, newspaper interviews, youth on school campuses. take a msg and give to kari lewis or jeff barnes."
Wasn't there a staff meeting just a couple of days ago to clear up all of this info, and to help the staff know how to respond to these questions? Or was the staff meeting held only to issue the gag order?
Was anyone there who would speak up and let us know if these things were addressed?

Hello to all of you here and especially those who are neighbors in Marysville.
I am the one who posted the “Cult” videos about TPC. I have also thought about removing them on several occasions since they were in my mind rather abusive in their own right. However, each time I was about to, I would then be given another piece of information that validated the videos or validated what I considered their necessity. I felt that a counter point to TPC spiritual mapping and spiritual assaults was needed as a flint to start a fire. The fire is burning now. I take no satisfaction in this because people are still afraid, angry, hurt by the church and in some respect by my videos. It is still obvious that Mike does not have regard for the Christian community here. His plan is the one that matters most to him. He is what matters most. It’s as if he is grabbing at any balloon to give him rise without knowing where it is going to.
Now, after the new SOMA video was released and posted on You Tube it is apparent that the marching orders for the flock have strengthened. That, with other new information tempts me to create a new video. I am not sure that this is the right course.
I am wondering if the dividing rod between us is so much the church or I.
Some input would be welcome.
A piece of information; I know that the Everett Herald will be interviewing several people about TPC today. A fire is burning.

Here is my opinion, for what it's worth.
I don't know if I've seen all of the videos, I know of the ones that I've seen, a have not watched them entirely. I don't think that they are helpful to your cause. Honestly, I'm not sure what your cause is. I have not found them funny, at all. I don't find them imformative. I've been told that I need to work on my sense of humor, so I suppose that depending on your target audience, there might be some comdic value, I just don't see it.
If your target is TP members, trying to get them to *see the light* about TP, I think that these videos may serve the opposite purpose. Anyone who is commited to TP is going to be offended by these videos, and they will go to great lengths protect the church and it's image.
As someone who no longer attends TP, and is very concerned by the things I see happening there, I find the videos to be hurtful. These are men and women that I have a great affection for, and whose spiritual well being I pray for.
All of that I said, I recognize your right to think otherwise. I understand that there are people that might find these funny, or see the artistic value. I'm just not one of them.
