I now have sticky notes all over my house--on every door, mirror, the refrigerator. I have the names of those I specifically know of and I have Scriptures posted next to the names. I just can't wait to hear the testimonies that come from this.

We had a funeral yesterday here at my church for a 16-month-old baby, Olivia. They passed out something that I would like to share with you. If you want, I will mail it to you but need addresses. Private message me if you are interested!

Just bought the book, Prayers for Prodigals: 90 Days of Prayer for Your Child, by James Banks. It is a devotional and is available on Amazon. Just Day 1 had me in tears. So blessed to be standing shoulder to shoulder with you all this weekend (and every day!) as we storm the stronghold!! Can't wait to see what God is going to accomplish.

I think it sounds like a great idea! Either day or both work for me and I'm sure my husband will agree. Just let me know. I also have friends and family that will commit to join us.

Cory's cousin is Sean Morris, one of the elders. I believe it is Cory and his wife, Ashley, who are running the grocery store. Probably just a matter of time before his murals show up in and on the store...he has done some murals at a ministry in Houston.

Great. I wonder why they won't sell pork? It is no longer considered an unclean animal...hmmm. Gets curiouser and curiouser.

i think it's about 3 hrs from Dallas. I'd stay in Lufkin if I were you. That's only about 30 minutes or less. I'm with you on having Mr. Washer visit the group. It would be interesting to see if the elders could stand up against TRUTH!

There is a mayor? Wasn't sure about that. Get enough of them there, and they will be able to run and get elected! Would still like to know where they are getting the money...
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Amen and amen!! I am ready for the "enough"! It does seem presumptuous of Ryan, Jake and Sean to add a step into salvation. My Bible tells me to come with childlike faith. I have said from the beginning, the very first encounter with this group, that it is of the devil. They attack the 'sheep' not the shepherd. They go after the saved to plant doubt and confusion.

Senhome, my only intention is to see God glorified through all of this and for my family to be restored. I have no reason to lie. Some of what has occurred is too bizarre to make up. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that this would be happening in my family. This time last year, the ENTIRE family was planning a week long vacation to Florida!!
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Welcome Concerned. It is so "comforting" to know that we have not been the only family condemned. Just from some casual observations, it seems they cut off families that know Truth. That question the teachings of the elders. That have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and know deception when they sense it. A couple of the members, whose parents are not actively involved in any c

Okay everyone, we have an issue. Be very careful when someone sends a private message to one of us but won't post publicly. Justin07 and Child of God, i sent you a private email. Some of the info I have sent in private message to a couple of young women has been transmitted back to the cult members. We don't even know if these are real names. They sound convincing but, from now on, I wi

Prayers will be coming from Houston also--praying for you all to have an extra measure of wisdom, discernment and courage. I agree with Sue. Do NOT let them separate you or draw you into an argument. Put on the full armor of God.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Could you send an email to your Facebook friends who are aware of this? I would ask them to not respond (if you send a mass email on FB, everyone that responds sends it to everyonethat received it) but to be in prayer. You don't even have to mention names, just tell them to provide major prayer coverage.

Jasmine, you are 100% correct in saying that what was meant for evil, God can use it for good. Up to this point, I knew there had to be other parents out there that were hurting and estranged from their kids but it was 'out there'--do you know what I mean!? I truly believe that He has brought us together here so that we DO have the support of each other and that we begin to pray specifi

Hi Jasmine, welcome to this group! I, too, have a daughter in the group. She and her husband joined last September and moved to Grand Prairie/Dallas area after Thanksgiving. He was on staff at the church we attend here in Houston and quit to become part of this cult. I am concerned for the safety of my grandchildren. Our God is so much bigger than this trial. We cannot stop praying until this dec

lmtrejo, glad to see you finally got on here! Tell your mom to text me when you get on the road so you can be covered in prayer. Don't forget to put on the "full armor of God' before any meetings as well as asking God to give you wisdom and discernment. Don't put yourself in a position where you feel the need to argue as it just feeds their "persecution complex." Any

Liberty For Captives has a new post about religious brainwashing. It is part 1 of 8...I'm sure most of the parents on this forum will agree with his points. It was so strange because so many of the Scriptures quoted are the exact same ones my daughter and son-in-law used to break all contact with us. It was almost like hearing/reading the condemnation all over again. To see how these "e

I am shouting HALLELUJAH! Senhome, that was very well said. NEVER apologize to us for speaking truth. We have been shackled too long with no one to commiserate with and this is the perfect place for us to vent and share God's truth with each other. He has used this trial in the life of my husband and I to send us into His Word like never before. We have also seen first-hand how Satan uses Sc

The mother never returned my call. I'm sure she called her daughter and asked about me. Daughter probably told her to ignore me, that I am a crazy woman. Whatever.

Since all this happened with Faith, I check KTRE pretty regularly and also "liked" them on Facebook. When I got the alert that a child had died, my heart dropped. Whether it is a child from the group or not, it is a tragic loss. I also saw they arrested the man driving and charged him. I am praying for the family as well as the town.
