LLG and frogla, If you all are starting a new blog, perhaps you can ask Rick Ross if you can co-opt his own well researched "warning signs": I would not use these on another site/blog without his direct blessings or at the very least a well-credited and linked shout-out. Rick Ross et al have already done some serious lifting in this regard and I am sure if you asked him h

What would the clients of Speed (The All Great and Seeing Profit Timmy-boy) do if they found out that the publishing house they are doing business with is being run by a self-annointed prophet and potential cult leader? Do you think the cult label (which, I am sorry this clearly sounds more and more like) would make them do business elsewhere and therefore shut down Speed Rathbun's easy m

Wow FreeYoMind...I'll have to pull up the Joseph Smith and God talks later (no time now).

Why do all people claiming to channel/speak for "god" use such stilted and cumbersome dialog? "Do not Tarry!" Please. I doubt that was used much since the 1700s.

How many people do you think are believers in the "god" Speed (aka Timothy)? Do they actually believe he is altruistic and lives hand to mouth?

Thanks FreeYoMind; My favorite of your above link is this:] Timothy! Hear the word of the Lord! You are My prophet, My student, My apostle.

KA-CHING! Great story. The more that employers get sued successfully for making their employees go to the psuedo-homosexual MKP the faster the companies will learn to say "no" to any salesman from MKP. It seems INSANE that a lawfirm would not see the flaw in the "contract" (i.e., signing away all your constitution and legal rights). I guess the "smartest people i

FreeYoMind, While you didn't ask me to comment, I will tell you what I believe... I am a cynic. I believe that Lil' Timmy is involved in this to feed his own need of power and for money.

From what I have read, Speed (aka the "prophet" Timothy) who runs a publishing business that apparently sells the New and Improved Gospel (Letters from Jesus) according to the Profit Timothy is nothing more than an abusive cult.

The Tin-god Timmy is just that...a false prophet and teacher. Unlike the Antichrist, the False Tin-god Timmy has no magic powers and no great wisdom. All the False Tin-god Timmy has is his group of core believers who pay for his and his wife's lifestyle at the tune of $93,000.00 per year.

Oh, and as point of interest for everyone on this thread, while YHWH (whose name may never be said aloud) claimed to call himself a name we could call like I AM, that is in fact an error in translation.
