Thank you for pondering with us, Onion. I was threatened with a suit in another state. I had published photos of shoddy workmanship online and the "craftsman" protested. Fortunately, I was working for a lawyer at the time and asked him what I would need to do to fight this. He laughed, and said I'd pretty much already won because the photos were pretty definitive. He told me ki

Agreed, ChangedAgain! "I should have followed the voice of the Lord and the leading of the Holy Spirit and dismantled what I believed to be a sin of hierarchal organized religious systems."

Seventies Walker: PRECISELY! I remember all of that. Every bit. As we watch this generation blow it out of the water with tools we didn't have - digital media, broad communication, the #MeToo movement finally making it okay to step up and speak out, I had hope for a minute. It took less than 72 hours to see the old pattern emerge. Fuck me to tears, indeed. May your "Cats" STAY WOKE

What a difference social media / instant communication makes. We're finally going to talk about this? We're finally going to take it seriously, get upset, write letters, demand resignations and reform? Because I can't be alone in feeling a certain sense of deja vu here. There were allegations of sexual misconduct from JRS & APCO down to local Elders once before. The Cult

I remember from my first awareness of what was happening around me, that I was a part of something special. We weren’t like other churches. We were the REAL church. The one with the LIVING Word. All other churches were “of the world” and “dead” and I can’t even remember all the words used to describe things that would “fall away” as the Kingdom was “brought forth.” We were all “called” for a

My family was formed because women in “The Walk” needed a “covering” in order to avoid the “battle” going on in the spiritual world. “Coverings” were always male, since they were the only “authority” over “demons” who attempted to distract and subvert the faithful on a continual basis. Above the male “covering” there were “The Elders” of the church. These were a council of “brothers” who interp

Let me begin by saying that it will not be possible for me to become a part of the community that you all have developed here. My anonymity is of utmost importance, firstly, as I have family in TLWF who have been there more than 40 years. It is too late and of no use to try and interfere with that now. Secondly, I have moved on, many years since. There is no “healing” left to be had for me, sp

So, one year later. Because the world didn't cease to exist in 2012, but Imzaia apparantly did, I feel I have the right to change my mind about not responding anymore. FYI, Imzaia has gone under the radar and is now known as 'Rising Life Media', located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I surely wonder why David felt the need to change his name from 'Quan Yin' to 'Kwa

Hi everyone, I'm taking steps towards exposing this cult because I recently (yesterday) received emails with stories of victims from Belgium and The Netherlands. I myself live in Belgium and there are a bunch of us who know the person behind IMZAIA. I can't post this information publicly though. You can send me a pm, but I don't know who to trust at this moment. Thanks.
