I have just gone back to page 1 and scanned forward to the latest page, and am amazed at how this site has evolved and the FANTASTIC contributions of so many people. I realise that there are many people who have been severly hurt by this cult, unlike me, who just had his fingers burnt, bt lved to walk away with my own little stories. If writing things down and sharing anecdotes helps and heals

Clive, I am not a regular, but I reckon that I am pretty cool. I am also a male.

I hope it is not Waco-esque, as there were very illegal goings on there. Although the thought of a full FBI raid on Struthers may bring a smile to some of the forum members faces.

Ah yes Clive, I thought that Joan Jewell had "passed into the shadow". I shall put away my sackcloth and take this damned ash off my face. It realy messes the mascara up. That explains a lot, as I couldnt understand the about turn, and potentially, leaving family anf friends behind, to the mercy of the wolves!!!! I was confused too at the Ma V Joan link.

"the Jewells have seen a lot of hardship and tradgedy over the years and the fact that they kept any faith at all is to be admired, even if the faith is a bit twisted where Joan is concerned" and "Yes Derek was a lovely man and sadly died far too young" do seem to sum up my recollections of them, as a memeber of a youth group that the Jewells run in Bucks.

I guess teaching is a safe profession for SMC. I suppose prostition would have been out of the question, as there is not so much time off. I agree that where there is obviously false prophesy that apologies should be given, as this is bordering on horoscopes, and cold reading as given out by spiritualists. I feel very sorry for this individual, it is so unfair to set her up for a fall, when sh

Whats this Latigo214? The problem with the Capping issue is that false prophesy causing severe ridicule globally and therefore much damage. We see ridicule from the "name it and claim it" preachers, and now this guy, who is still going on about it being October 21st. Hope its not, as my birthday is not far after that, and I want some presents. So, although I feel a bit for the

Clive, after I left I jined a hose group, that love bombed you, but the peple were nice and I met my wife there. My real maturity came when I moved to Chesham and started studying Roger Price audio tapes whilst attending an Anglican church. My faith is still strong, but I do reject so much of the Jewells influence, I shudder when I remember them shaking me as a teenager to empower me with the

Many years ago, certain SMC members run the youth group in Buckinghamshire. Certainly this was a female dominated group and favour was given to the women and to one teenage male, who always wore a suit and tie, and received birthday presents, when all other males did not. The Anglican Church, saw through them and kicked them out, and they left, taking the females with them. Such was their cont
