Whoa! You mentioned the 100K that was given by the congregation to build an orphanage... but where is this money? I forgot all about that, it has been a few years. I wonder who kept that cash and why the orphans are not being cared for? I am excited that so much information has been coming out, it has completely encouraged me and confirmed much of what I already knew. Thanks Ryan.

Braveheart: I know what you mean. Pastor Wally was being very hospitable to Tony and RLC visitors and Tony disdained Wally and treated him like dirt, because Tony had to have all of the control. This issue of CONTROL is, in my opinion, the big one. He will not allow anyone to think for themselves! Nicole, it is awesome to hear from you! The last time I talked to you was when you visited our apart

I can agree with this, here's an example: After being taught the Word in so many lessons over the years, I now struggle with trying to "relearn" everything again. In other words, trying to understand the Word of God for what it is, not what it is manipulated to be. The problem is that there were alot of teachings that were actually solid and good (think most sunday mornings). Bu

WAJ: First of all - who's providing cunninghamisms? Please explain. I asked a simple question which was not answered: is this church telling its members and leaders to give their babies away? I have already told you that I have no "yes" or "no" answer for this situation, as I am not the one to have experienced it and I am only responsible for myself. I cannot determine

WAJ: I have now counted (4) people that agree with you: "I just need to hear from others that agree it is contrary to scripture so that I know I am not missing something." Its ironic that this issue is clouding the MANY other issues at hand... remember, there are 25 pages before you first posed that question. Now that you got people to agree with you, you should take the next step.

It's just too bad that no one from RLC will reply on here so that you can call them out. Where is TC and BM? And all the others as well? Yeah its called isogesis. It is certainly dangerous to take the scripture out of its context to suit your own needs. That is correct. However, Doc Love did not use it out of context. He made the point that Jesus did not do everything the same way over an

I think within the sarcasm is the obvious point that whatajoke continues to make unfair assumptions and accusations. He has said it all... referring to Love and myself as nobodies in the church (well that doesnt even make sense considering we are not even around). And the constant statements about our being "spies" and "liars and deceivers" and "covoto cult members".

I think its good to warn people about stuff. But I also know that with this sarcasm and humor there is also some very solid points made, that should also be taken seriously.

Well apparently we have now walked for about 26 pages and have really arrived no where… I’ll tell you this much for sure: You reap whatever you sow. If it’s true, which it is, then all of it will work out in the end. Perhaps the shady folk will be exposed in full. Or perhaps they might even change their hearts and be honest. Or maybe it will end with humiliation. I dunno. God deals with

I agree. It would not be a good idea to pick and choose what to read. You should read this thing from the beginning... it has been ugly. It is also a good idea to not take everything at face-value. There are some clear exaggerations and there are also some clear cover-ups. Some posters "defend" without truly knowing what is actually happening in the background. There is some good, a

The many problems existing here could have been long gone and forgotten by now, had they been admitted and corrected at the time. Instead, being hidden, they have become EXPOSED, and so the crap hits the fan. Now the consequences unfold. Still, some refuse to admit wrong and move on. I've actually heard people refer to this as "God is testing us"... in reality its just God'

I will address half the problem right now... There are some Christian leaders who would claim that they are a pastors or apostles, or great wizards from Kalamazoo for all I care, yet their lives lived out prove the contrary. If one claims to be such a man of God, then why would they be so untouchable? Why would one be required to speak to 3 different assistants in order to just leave a message

Dr. Love, I will reply to you. I know you, but you also know me. Also, I have not been at the building we call RLC for so long that I cannot possibly verify when you last attended that place. Therefore, the last time I have seen you there must have been many months ago. And is Tony your pastor? I would definitely say no. When have you last spoken with him? Must not be your leader then…

Was reference to the church building previously being a "bowling alley" really so offensive? I was merely throwing it out there. Many times I attempt to make a point by using irony/humor as a pen. Get it... because pens make a point... nevermind. I think you may be confused, Tedmeister. I don't recall sending a "personal attack" to anyone, either. Also, what do you

Whew... you mean the dust is cleared? Dr. Love, I believe your question would be answered clearly in an annual business meeting. I think they breakdown how much someone gets paid from the church. But it raises another question: if I make 50K a year and tithe 5K, couldnt I just raise my pay to a higher amount, making the tithe have no sacrifice in my budget? In other words, couldnt I shelter and a

There is a guy that was a genuine friend of mine. He has been gone from that place for quite some time. This is how screwed up it is: I call him up after he moved on and he had said something to the effect of "I refuse to talk to you at this point because you are part of that place". Man I felt like garbage at that point because I was fed a lie why he left in the first place. In any cas

I believe God is real. Church should be real... that is, it ought to be what it says it is, at least. The complication happens when people stop the work of God, in the name of God, and call it "church". In other words, people get in the way. How typical to take something beautiful and destroy it... we see it everyday. Authority attempts to control the underlings, and of course, it is su
