Why exactly are you even interested? Do you have someone in the group?

I haven't been commenting too much lately but still watch very closely. I just want to say publicly that yes, we have had people comment on this thread that were probably members of the group in Wells. I will be the first to admit that I have grown very suspicious of anyone new and I also have developed a tendency to accuse first. Being constantly suspicious is not a good feeling. If we are

Feel free to comment anytime. I'm sure most of the people here have wondered the same things. Would love to have some answers.

Welcome back, Justin07! Nothing new that I've heard lately!
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Joe, I disagree with you about whether Jesus recognizes the western church. Now, you are judging in the same way they do. That is not your responsibility. If your church hurt you, I'm sorry. Churches are filled with imperfect humans. Not your place to decide who is a wheat and who is a tare.

I, too, have a family involved in the group at Wells. Truthtold, do you have a family member involved in a cult somewhere? If not, you have no idea the devastation that is caused to the family members who have been cut off. Everyone has an opinion on what we should feel, do, say and think. Until my husband and I experienced it firsthand, I am pretty certain I would have been in that group with my

Jd, welcome to our group. Watch&pray is very correct in that we do a lot of our communicating through private message so as not to have our words twisted or used against us. We have been brought together through the tragedy of having our families torn apart because of deception. I would love to read more of your experiences. Anything you want to share will be welcomed by everyone here, I'

Trish, have you looked at the YMBBA thread here? There are other parents who have been cut off as well as townspeople. If you private message one of us, we will be faithful to respond. Just be careful what you post publicly as the site is monitored. We know because it has been addressed on their website, www.thechurchofwells.com.

Thank you, His Star. I am so glad you are here. Watch&pray, welcome to this group. Please know that we are praying for the town of Wells and the spiritual battle that is taking place there. Please continue to pray and remember, we have the assurance that God will be victorious!

Whew! Thank you for letting us know. If we were perfect, we would have no need for grace. I am so incredibly humbled when I think of the way He loves me in spite of me. Welcome to our group of sinners saved by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ! Do you have a loved one involved in the group? If you choose to not speak publicly, we understand and feel free to private message any of us. We are

His Star, not sure who you are referring to but we do not claim to be perfect. We know we are sinners saved by grace.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

So true, Justin07. I just do not understand how someone could go through life only looking for negative, hateful things. I read the other day that we should be eager to obey God out of love FOR Him, not fear OF Him.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Amen, Justin07. Well said.

Hope all went well. I heard there was another wedding. So much going on. We must pray and pray and then pray some more! The stronghold of deception can be broken! To God be the glory!

Welcome Aegonis3 and Yattia. A couple of books I recommend are "Prayers for Prodigals" by James Banks and "The Heresy of Mind Control" by Stephen Martin. The first one is bringing me comfort and is a great source of specific Scriptures I can pray over my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. The second book brings me knowledge and understanding in the how this could have happene

From my devotion this morning, "Prayers for Prodigals": Isaiah 49:25 "...I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save." The enemy has assaulted my family fiercely and taken my child "captive to do his will." (2Tim. 2:26) He has tried to steal that which belongs to You. Go after the enemy, Lord! Take back what is Yours. Save my child

Welcome to the group, Tristan. Be very careful what you post publicly. I saw the picture also. I can tell you that I didn't see some of the faces I know are part of the group. I even had the picture enlarged just to make sure. Feel free to private message any one of us. We support each other, pray for one another and listen when there is a need to vent or cry.

My devotion was from Ps 30:5..."joy comes in the morning." weeping only lasts for a season, joy comes. Period. What a wonderful word that was to me!

So glad you got to see your son and meet his wife. Almost a little disappointed that it didn't end well but not really surprised, I guess. We can just keep praying. I'm sure that all of you have come to the realization that prayer is the only weapon we have for our children at this point. Do any of you read the Liberty for Captives blog?

They have posted a new letter on the YMBBA. org website. More GARBAGE!! Not sure if anyone knows, but the autopsy results are back. KTRE.com has a broadcast about them.

Hi Dottie and j.r.! Welcome to the group! Dottie, when some of our pastors tried to speak to my son-in-law, he refused. They usually cannot stand up against the truth. JR, my estimation would be 150-200. Hard to really tell. In January, we were told about 120. At my granddaughter's memorial service, there were maybe 65-70 of them there.

The weekend of prayer was incredible for us. The Lord revealed Himself to us. We decided to leave our post-it notes up with the names and Scripture. Just a passage that we found about false prophets was Jeremiah 23:25-32. Pretty powerful stuff! Justin07, I am so glad you liked it! Quite a story, isn't it? He is all we need...
