Hi , I dont see where anyone came against you, did someone send you a private message? I thought your comment about offering to help them pack was hilarious. Why would the members be offended by that comment, they will tell you to your face that you aren't saved and are going to hell-(nice), then they will defend their actions with some misquoted, twisted scripture. You go ahead and say what

KJdean- so I suspect churchpartner is a group member. I wondered how long it would take before one of them found this site. Be careful! You can always send a private message, look at the top of the page and click into 'private message'. I will send you one.

HI guys, I need to add some info that I was given concerning the leaders of this group. First of all the three leaders Sean, Jake and Ryan were NOT sent out by the Courvilles in MO. The guys did ministry all over the country traveling around and preaching. They met the courvilles at a conservative Family camp and at the time they were pretty sound in doctrine and not radical like they are now.

Hi ChildofGod. I am sorry to hear about your daughter and son-in-law. My son Justin was deceived by this group back in July of last year. I am sure they all know each other. We had contact with him until March, now he sends an occasional letter of condemnation. Be assured that God knows all that is happening with this group and when the timing is perfect He will remove the veils and open the eyes

Kjdean49-that sounds about right for this group. Unfortunately, he is probably not using the musical talent that God gave to him. I'm sure that they have twisted it so that if he played it would be bringing praise to him instead of to God. Fortunately we know that the things Satan means for bad, God always uses for good. I am sure our kids know each other, I will pray that together they will

Hi everyone, unfortunately I have been dealing with this group for almost a year now :(. The original three boys were sent to Texas from a baptist church in Missouri (possibly with Calvinistic roots) however, over time the Texas group has become extremely radical. They have taken the depravity part to a whole new level and if someone outside the church does not 'act' as they do then t

its interesting that he was the man you identified. Chris Faulkner is one of the few names that I know and I believe he recently left the group. Hopefully that is true and not that he is supporting them any longer. Correction Joy courville is married to Ryan

the courvilles originally supported this group but a far as I know they had a falling out with them sometime back in 2010.

Hi, there is also a man around named William, he seems to be treated by the group as an 'elder' but he had some trouble a while back and his name was removed from the website (not sure what happened) He is the one who confronted us when we visited Justin last year in Grand Prairie, they were a bit surprised to see us to say the least. Jake (jacob) is a leader he is married to Joy Courvi

Ok, I figured out what happened, after the original post I googled 'childs death is Texas" and ended up with a story about a father accidentally leaving his infant in the car all day, I got the story confused.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I think I missed something. The original story was that baby Faith had been left in the car but now it seems as if she suffered distress during her birth. Can someone please clarify?
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Kjdean49, never feel you cant speak the truth. The things this group is doing are wrong and harmful. They are certainly out of the will of God and have headed into the dangerous territory of self righteousness. You are absolutely right that the one true God is bigger than all of this and He will open their eyes and ears to the truth at the perfect time. Until then be assured that there are many p

Hi , everyone. I am so glad to see everyones concern about this group. My son has been down there since last year and as you can imagine the fact that he is part of any of this makes me very sad. Apparently this Texas group has broken away from the original church because of the groupsradical beliefs. They are no longer associated with or supported by them. We have been praying that their finance

Hi, your experience at the memorial service sounds just like what we encounted when we made a surprise visit there last year. We were verbally attacked by the 'leaders', just children really. One of the boys told me that I was living an unholy life, I just patted him on the shoulder and reminder him that he didn't even know me. I am glad to hear that you understand the importance o

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your grandchild. My son moved in with this group in July of last year and stopped communicating with us in March of this year. I know that he got married to a girl in the cult after a very short 'courthship', and that they were living in Wisconsin at some point but Im not really sure if they are back in Texas at this time. Although I dont understand the &
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Hi my son is currently in this group. We are not happy that he is there. This group is very decietful and tends to pray on people who already have a faith in God. They get them to question their faith and can be very dangerous. Start asking questions, don't let the youth in your town be alone with them. They seem like a benign group but dont be fooled.

Hi Wendy, yes I have heard them referred to in this way. Apparently they call themselves "the church of ..." and then put in the name of whatever city they are in. The couple of kids that started the Arlington group where actually sent from a group in Missouri, either St Louis or Springfield. The one house that they own was purchased in 2009 by an anonymous buyer, someone from Missouri

Hi yes, unfortunately I am familiar with them. My son entered this cult in July 2011. They are very deceptive. They quote or rather twist scripture to confuse believers. It is always a warning when a group is trying to 'recruit' people who are already believers of the one true God. They cut the members off from any family members that may disagree with their beliefs and as far as my son
