A new day? Seriously? I've never heard GH say this before. It must be true, then. ;-)

The church was never meant to be a hierarchy? Are you sure? Because the last I heard, all the perks go to the top guys.

"As your King, I will deal with this hierarchy issue once and for all!"

Dear rrmoderator:

The Living Word Fellowship is a "Christian" Bible-based organization that is very high demand and controlling. The leader/leaders claim to take the place of God in their members' lives. With all due respect, in my opinion, when various people quote a scripture or talk about love, they are merely trying to point out the difference between a religion and a cult. I think that this can be helpful information for many current and former members.

Yes. But a line is crossed when it just becomes preaching without cited specifics regarding Stevens and the Fellowship.

Did not see a very focused effort at examining very specific scriptures used and abused by Stevens and/or the Fellowship.

It's important to stay focused and within the rules of the board.

Personal beliefs is not the subject of this thread.

RRModerator,
not following the part about "personal beliefs" not being part of the thread. Isnt this entire site all about personal beliefs. Not arguing, just asking.

Tmason:

No.

It's about the behavior and group dynamics of the Living Word Fellowship, The Walk and how its leadership treated people.

It's also about the leadership structure and the issue of accountability and financial transparency.

People can believe whatever they wish, but they cannot do whatever they want in the name of their beliefs.

People posting here are questioning what was done by a religious group that claimed to be responsible to and represent a higher purpose, but it seems behaved badly, exploited and hurt people.

Too funny, changedagain. This reminds me of all the times that a member complained about the hierarchical way that the leaders related to people in the group. The members were the servants of the leaders. But if you dare say anything about it, it's you that has "position thinking" (Walk Talk for hierarchical thinking). Now you not only have to continue serving and financially supporting the leader in style, you must also grovel and repent for noticing the disparity. So warped!

All hail, King G!
