please pray. was just overwhelmed with the incredible need to pray for this group. I can't even put my finger on why...

we were there on June 1 and had no troubles with cell phone reception. I think it's one of the ways they control and your son probably doesn't want to hurt you anymore than necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to private message any of us if you are concerned for his safety. We are a great group and welcome you. We can rage, cry, laugh and vent together without judgeme

i think they fit 8/10 on the first list and 10/10 on the second. After listening to Ryan's screaming rants in the audio of the "Doctrine of Hell" that was posted the day after my granddaughter's memorial, I got the impression someone might have questioned their judgement and this is the elders' response.

Woohoo! I LOVE being part of this group!! What encouragement! Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged.

Chris99, you haven't said anything offensive in my opinion! I just went back and re-read all of your posts and nothing there to Be ashamed of. Maybe their conscience is bothering them. They always seem to find ways to blame others. Just relax and consider the source. If they continue to harass your g'ma, she should ask them to leave. If they continue, then she should call the sheriff. H

Ok, our church started Vacation Bible School last night so it was a late night for me. That means it was difficult for me to fall asleep which in turn brings some great time with the Lord. As I thought about the excitement of the kids and the enthusiasm of the teachers, I began to wonder why we feel the need to hide what we feel/think from 'churchplanter'. I know the Lord Jesus Christ a

Amen, Liberty. Very well spoken! I have shared your article that you wrote for my granddaughter with many people. Thank you for your understanding and boldness to speak truth.

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

So, the younger Chris Faulkner left the group? Sure wish I could find him and talk to him. Has Kevin Feesler left or did he move to Wells? He was another one that stayed with the kids before they moved to Grand Prairie. Bobo, if you are unsure of any of the info, private message us and we will do what we can to verify it. You have to understand that we absorb anything you can tell us...we hav

To the newest members, ChildofGod & Grace&Truth, welcome to this wonderful group! ChildofGod, we understand what you are going through. We are the grandparents of the baby and are very concerned for our other 3 grandchildren. The Lord is really using this trial to draw my husband and I closer to Him and each other. He has shown us what an incredible church family we serve with. I'm

My son-in-law's name is Daniel Pursley. He also has a Facebook page. They say they don't want to be associated with the world, yet they are on Facebook. Another young man is Chris Smith...didn't see him at the memorial service so he might still be in Arlington. My daughter, Kristin, and Dan drive a silver Chrysler Town and Country mini-van. I know that because we bought it for th

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Justin07, I remember the first time my son-in-law condemned us for our family gatherings, when we would sit and watch football or just have fun being together. That caught us completely off-guard! The. Ext thing we were condemned on was our enjoyment of Disneyworld...my husband and I go once a year. We were told we had set it up as an idol in our lives and we were worshipping magic and sorcery. W
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Chris99, I agree that I hope the DA does not allow this to go unpunished. The difficult thing for us is knowing our daughter and son-in-law actively participated in the death of their baby girl. And knowing that CPS put the other three kids with another couple from the group. One of the kids that came and lived with my daughter and family when they wanted to join the group was a Chris Faulkne
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Chris, we asked the same thing about them moving to Wells. Perhaps it's because you don't have a police force? A compound would not surprise me, since they say they don't associate with non-believers. You mentioned that they had come to a relative's house to sing. This is not their typical behavior...they were aggressive and confrontational. Loved getting in your face and tell

I was wondering what the connection was to the Courvilles. I thought they might be supporting the group financially...need to look into that.

Folks, if you see anything that might concern CPS or the Sheriff's Dept, call them. Write everything down!
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Chris99, my husband and I live in Houston. My son-in-law actually used to be on staff at the church we attend. They got involved last September, he quit his job in November and they moved to Grand Prairie the weekend after Thanksgiving. I learned about the death almost 18 hrs after it occurred when he called. Our daughter didn't communicate with us much. To speak with her, we had to go throu

My daughter was overdue but, because of her condition, she has VERY quick labor and delivery. Yes, on the license numbers! If you get names, write them down with a description of the person. Can I ask about the little ones? Was it 2 girls and a boy--Savannah, Annabelle and Levi? If so, those are my grandkids and I would love to know how they are doing! If you know any of this, step forward. Do
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Chris99, I don't know anything about the week long labor but I doubt that it involves the same pregnancy of the infant who was allowed to die. I KNOW my daughter's medical issues and her being in labor for a week would not be possible. I DO want justice for my granddaughter that I never had the opportunity to hold. I want my other 3 grandkids to be safe and experience stability again. I

A large group of them have moved to Wells, TX. And we are still talking about ymbba. There is nothing about it that I would consider a ministry! KTRE posted an update about the death of the baby.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

the website-www.youmustbebornagain.org-posted the memorial service. Listen and you will hear them admit to trying to resurrect the baby. Listen to the condemnation to those who do not believe the way they do. Have your pastors listen...they will be appalled. Let them critique the sermons. Scary stuff. Tommy, if some are not dressing modestly, it will change. They could be new to the group. The

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

When someone wants to join the group, they send members to live with them until they move to join the 'big group'--wherever it is at the time. They say they are "helping" the new recruits...I am convinced they want to make sure they sell everything and give the money to the church. We were at the memorial service for the grand baby yesterday and noticed how YOUNG some of t

Sharon, my daughter and son-in-law just moved there with our 3 grandkids. They have basically cut off communication with us. Their baby is the one that died and has been in the news. This group will move now that the spotlight is on them....
