I will no longer hijacked this thread and continue to beat a dead horse. However, I encourage others to continue exposing the truth. My current focus is on RLC's church plants. My goal of warning people will be more effective by talking to people in the various church plant communities. This forum has been a great tool, but I am wasting precious time through talking with Tony followers.

You do not have to thank me. I need to thank everyone who has answered my questions about RLC. I thank Transparent who was with me in the beginning and is still here. All of you are heroes for exposing the truth. You saved me from being dupe by RLC. I am no hero. I am just an individual who was curious about the people at RLC and I went searching for answers that's all. My curiou

EmeraldMyst, You will not get a straight answer about RLC from its members. They are brainwashed by Tony. You will only get sarcastic remarks and silly denfensive tactics towards your posts. So, you will have to conduct research on your own to get a better understanding of Tony's teachings at RLC. If you read about the Sheperding and Discipleship Movements on Rick Ross, then you wil

RRModerator, I made the decision not to discuss anything or post any messages with PI. My husband told me that a PI will not post something on a public site if he or she was conducting a secret investigation. That does make sense when you think about it. Usually, a PI will not even inform others about their investigations until it was over. A true PI will just use modern technology and wi

I agree RRModerator! I am somewhat suspicious about the timing of Private Eye's post. I do not mine helping him or her out, but I think that we should remain anonymous. For all I know it could be someone from RLC trying to figure out who we are. I think that we should be very cautious and extremely careful.

Somasux, People refuse to see fault in Tony because his manipulating power. People underestimate the power of mind control and brainwashing. There is no point in trying to convince followers of Tony to leave his flock. It's like trying to explain to a person who is visually impaired about seeing the ocean. They can't see what you and I see because they are blind. You should d

RRModerator, Thanks for the links that you have mentioned and posted on this thread. I spent the entire weekend reading through all the research and data about the "discipleship" movement and cults in general. After reading the links that you provided I realized that most of the questions that I had about RLC were addressed in those articles. The discipleship philosophy is def

Transparent, The "ring thing" is in reference to one of Tony's ideology. Humble asked Aaron about this. Apparently just like all the other weird things at RLC no one can explain it. Pastor Tony got some great idea from "The Lord of the Rings" movie. So, this ring thing is just another one of the unbiblical things that we are trying to get an explanation on. Not q

I am still waiting for the followers of Tony and RLC to explain their cause. Tell me why will you attend a church that has a Pastor who instructs false teachings?

Wow! Aaron Paul Love you are filled with so much anger and rage. Is Aaron Paul Love the birth name that your parents gave you or did they convince you to change your name as well?

That is very disturbing that these young adult women are being taking advantage of. I am still wondering how does Tony and the others teach these young females about being "spiritual wives"?

Currently it appears that Pastor Tony does not care about the turmoil that he has created. He already knows that people are becoming suspicious about RLC in Sacramento. He already knows that people are leaving the church, but he doesn't care. That is probably why he convinced Pastor Tom Borsic and his wife Michelle to plant a church in Katy, Tx. That way people in the Houston area will h

Dear HumbleFollower, Yes, I equate Tony to Jim Jones because anytime a MAN could get 20 plus families to relocate to Katy, TX to spread his word is a very powerful and scary man in my book. Also, anytime a MAN could get you and others to follow his flock and his teachings is very scary to me. No he probably will not make you drink poison and allow you to commit suicide, but he will allow you

Dear Humblefollwer, Your'e post is exactly one of my concerns. The members of RLC's devotion to worship Tony and not God. No one ever mentions what God has done for them. All credit is given to Tony.

I am really glad that the word is getting out about RLC. I thought that I was alone when I originally posted my concern about this church being a cult. Even though I only attended there for about 5 months, I picked up on many things. There were just too many questionable things that I have never seen displayed in any other church that I have visited. I was very attracted to their kindness

I want to first thank Transparent for bringing the misteachings of Radiant Life to my attention. The things that you have mentioned along with other pratices made me question this church immediately.

Transparent, I am not surprise that the RLC church in Katy, TX is not thriving. Tony underestimated the culture and people of Houston, Texas. Most Texans are not into to that Mumbo Jumbo crap. Texas has a large percentage of Southern Baptist and Roman Catholics with the Latino population. It is going to be extremely difficult to convert the conservative Southern Baptist and Latino Catholic

The point that I was trying to make Vodnik is that Private Eye will need to examine the church and not bother the posters on this thread.

Mr or Mrs. Private Eye, How do we know that we can trust you? I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but I am very suspicious about the timing of your post. The best way to get a full grasp of RLC is to attend there. You will have to experience it for yourself. On the surface the church functions pretty much like a normal church. RLC resembles Jones Temple. So, you will not get muc
