Wow. The IRS has investigated the ROC? This is BIG news. No church (usually) gets investigated unless there are serious complaints and problems. The fact the IRS "found nothing amiss" is equally telling. How would a rank-and-file plank-in-the-eye follower know this? They wouldn't...because the IRS doesn't announce that they "found nothing amiss"...they either

The Anticult, I agree with you, but if scumbag bastards get away with everything (including murder...or manslaughter), shouldn't the families affected get a thumbs up from winning in civil court and hitting these pricks in the only areas they truly care about(like their wallets)? O.J. Simpson is a good example. He was found "not guilty" of murder (his jury said "who cares

I know 12/21/12 is the "end"(reset) of the Mayan calender. Many "end-times" groups think that this date will either be the end of the world or even an evolutionary enlightenment of all mankind. "ascencion of all matter" sounds like they believe they will become spiritual beings on this date, since matter does not make up "spirits". Could this be a be

Self-Help guru accused in Sweat-Lodge deaths back in the spotlight: It looks like, if the jury selection goes as planned, opening statements in Ray's trial will begin on March 1, 2011.

Hi, frogla, we are all still here (at least a few of us still are!). Unless I have anything new, I don't want to post.

I think that is worse than when they post and preach. What are they up to? Spea

I don't have the specifics like many on this thread have, but I do remember earlier postings touching on the date(s) that Businessman Rathbun claimed. As J.

Also, let's take the gospel of Matthew:
