Timetospeak
I don't think a partnership would develop there. If RLC is renting out the church to BOSS it is because the rent needs to be paid. Bayside is pretty solid and if anything, they will win over RLC menbers. It might however be painted by RLC as some big spiritual partnership. This type of lie occurred in the past with other churches to make it look like God was doing something. All along it was manipulation, an attempt at territorial stronghold and egotistic crazyness. I wouldn't worry about it - it's just a tiny church trying to appear big and can't pay the rent.
I think that Timetospeak has nailed it here. Tony Cunningham is famous for attempting to attach himself to anything that is going well, or has respectability (something he needs to import). How lucky the victims are, they think that they are just renting space or something innoculous like that, and instead they have a parasite like Tony stuck to their hind quarters. The inner circle (what is it now, 4 people?), think "oh my, how lucky they are that god (Tony) has recognised them and has nodded his head in deference. If things continue to go well, it is because of Tony's "covering". If everything fall apart as it usually does from Tony's reverse midas touch, then they just were not worthy, or some such nonsense.
Please pray for the followers of Tony. It is sad the bondage they are under. Pray for Tony's family, they are suffering. Pray for Tony, he is greatly deceived, pray that he would see his life as it really is. Many of us have walked this foolish path with him. It is painful to exit, and much more painful to admit that I was a partner to this. It reveals the deception that lies within. It is vital that we admit our part.
The sooner that you admit that you were a part of the problem, the sooner that you can come back to reality, and begin to heal.
The spiritual blindness and deception that has accompanied all this is extremely damaging and corrupting.
Pray for the Christians who are near all this. They need courage and wisdom to speak and do what is right.
