There’s a frequent debate in Christian circles about how much we should be interested in politics and ultimately be involved in it — whatever that means. Is reading an article on religious liberty being “involved” or “entangled?” Even the notion of paying attention to politics is sometimes met with distaste as if that were beneath even the lowest in society. I get it. But I’d like to make a case for why politics should matter to Christians: Because it does.
Before you accuse me of making a circular argument here, let me explain. The fact that something is true is different than the question of whether it should be true or whether you want it to be true. Politics does impact our lives as Christians, whether we like that fact or not.
If we really believe what we say we do — that our dystopian culture needs to hear about God — then we should care about our ability to speak openly about Jesus without fear of oppression. And frankly, non-believers should care about this right, too, lest an overreaching government decide that their pet belief is no longer authorized by bureaucrats in Washington. Last I checked, the right to speak freely on faith and politics alike is guaranteed in our country by the First Amendment:
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
This brings to mind a quote from Pericles in the 5th century B.C. Greece:
“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.”
Do you find politics interesting when the government wants to keep you from going to church or the grocery store? How about when they want to force your child to get a vaccine you don’t trust or want? Whatever you believe about the Covid vaccines, shouldn’t you have the right to choose what chemicals you put in your body, or your child’s body?
Or maybe you’ll care more about politics when they start sexualizing your kids, messing with their impressionable heads with anti-science propaganda about male vs. female biology? Will you care then?
What will it take to get you to care?
Stanton has always countered that the world of politics is merely a distraction — that voting or advocating for public policy change of any sort is getting “entangled” in the affairs of this world. Yes, political conversations can be all-consuming, but so can any subject. That is more about having a balance.
And also, 2 Timothy 2:4 means no such thing. Ironically, Paul is actually hinting to Timothy that he should join Paul in suffering for the gospel full-time, and in so many words, authorizes him to take support from the flock for that full-time suffering. That doesn’t fit the Stanton narrative, does it? Read it yourself:
2 Timothy 2:2-7 – “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.”
But Stanton dodges that context and goes on to tell us that it’s God who sets up kings and brings them down, not us:
Daniel 2:21 – “And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”
But they fail to acknowledge that we don’t live under a monarchy in America. We elect our leaders (or pretend to, but that’s a different conversation) and have been given — by God, I would argue — a voice in choosing our laws and legislators. Isn’t it a sin if we know to do good and don’t do it? I could make a compelling case that it’s a sin not to vote to improve human liberty, but I won’t go there — we already have too many rules of men to live by.
Nevertheless, if we consider freedom in America to be a blessing from God — with the freedom to worship, pray, and speak publicly about our faith or anything else — we should realize that this blessing is secured by another one: The right of self-government.
God gave America the blessing of self-government. Aren’t we despising that blessing like Esau did when we don’t appreciate it and use it for good? Shouldn’t we want to positively influence the culture our kids and grandkids will grow up in?
If this kind of conversation isn’t your cup of tea, that’s OK. I won’t use this space for a lot of political ideology, but it is something I care about, and I hope you do too. And if you don’t, I hope to inspire you to care on Truth Delta, my new Substack.

Great post, Kevin, Came across this splendid and interesting book. “Why God cares about Politics”. https://www.amazon.com/Why-God-Cares-About-Politics/dp/1619848643 Question is, Why were all of Americas Founders Christian, and we taught the Bible in school in 1776? How come homosexuality, abortion, birth control, and pornography were all illegal in America until 1960, and we are supposed to be sitting on our hands doing nothing? Here are what Americas Founders had to say about Christianity and virtue. http://liberty1.org/virtue.htm This fatalism is truly fatal. Just got done with a book describing how Russia was conquered by Communism, and one of the main reasons was because… Read more »
There needs to be accountability for why there was such a spectacular failure on the part of Stanton’s leadership to spot this Covid scam. This is why God warns against presumptuous leaders. They fight to be leaders, but when crisis confronts the church, they make decisions that jeopardize peoples lives and the church. How is it not perfectly obvious that it was a scam when the corrupt government orders churches and gun stores to close, but allows abortion clinics and pot clinics to stay open? The saddest part about this is there were many leaders in Stanton who lacked wisdom… Read more »
I’m sure many cult members were thrilled when there functions were shut down and or curtailed.
Great points made, and good article, Kevin! This coronavirus was an eye-opener. Time tells all tales, and indeed, the more time that passes, and the more events that happen, the more it becomes very clear, that Stanton‘s ideology that they are the only correct church, 1500 strong, in a world of 8 billion, becomes more and more incredulous. If your church was the only one on this earth, you definitely should be able to see through any scam that the world sent your way. And Stanton‘s leadership miserably failed to adequately address this coronavirus scam. Churches were shutting down, members… Read more »
The bible is a gold mine of wisdom. One metaphor for the human heart is that of a well. Some wells are full of fresh sweet water and some wells are full of salty bitter waters, and some wells are dry. Sometimes freshwater wells can be poisoned with salt water and what poisons the human heart but worldly study material? The evil eye is a metaphor for the disapproving heart and the righteous eye is a metaphor for the approving heart. Judas used the evil eye against Mary when he spoke against her annointing Christ with a very costly ointment… Read more »
God doesn’t care why people disobey. 2 Samuel [1] Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. [2] And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims. [3] And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the… Read more »
In the example of Uzzah being struck dead we on the surface see little of the reasoning behind such a harsh punishment for a seemingly small infraction, but upon deeper examination we see the leadership style of wicked humans in the hands of an angry God. This pattern or leadership style is seen in Acts 5:1-11 with Peter and the death of Ananias and Sapphira, in the beginning God uses fear to establish obedience amongst his followers. Do leaders today use such harsh measures against their own followers? Yes they do, but it leads to either the rebellion against and… Read more »
In the example of Uzzah their is a thinly veiled death threat. Violence in the old testament was both commanded by God and acceptable, it is metaphorically “old wine” but violence is forbidden in the new testament, a Christian is a “new bottle” and when a Christian resorts to the brutish behaviors of intimidation and violence both the christian and violent behaviors are rejected, that is broken bottle and spilled wine. The disciples told Christ once that they found someone casting out demons in his name and they forbad them but Christ reproved them saying no man can cast out… Read more »
There are three ways of thinking and there are three motivations that go with them; pride wants to look good, lust wants to feel good, and the meek want to do good. When seeking to reprove someone you would say to the arrogant that this looks bad, to the lustful you would say this feels bad, to the meek you would say this is hurtful to others and this is bad. How a leader reproves his followers tells you from which motivation he is speaking and how to respond to make the leader happy. There are eight defenses for pride… Read more »
Well it is Tuesday February the 14th 2023 and I am still alive and have not been killed like Uzzah. Extortion is defined as the practice of obtaining something through force or threats. Silence can be obtained through making death threats and as such is extortion and extortion is walking disorderly and should be withdrawn from. I use to work with a man who was extortioner in Phoenix at a company called MSC distribution who at the Wyndham hotel in metro center at a Thursday non member class threatened me saying “if you ask for overtime I am going to… Read more »
In Proverbs 8:10 Solomon gives instructions to choose edification over money and when you take this abstract principle and apply it to Judas and his betrayal you get a very clear understanding how Judas should have asked Wisdom (Christ) if what he was planning was the right thing to do or not. Many make plans about how to get money but without wisdom the money you obtain brings a curse with it. I will get all the overtime for my greedy self through the use of threat of violence and nothing bad will come with it, ask Judas how that… Read more »
To show just how blinding greed is consider that the company MSC distribution told employees that there is no raises because the company did not make a profit at the same time the warehouse man was passing out paychecks found and extra paycheck to someone that had the same last name as the owner but no one had ever heard of before and when told the owner said it was a cousin that had done some work for the company but in reality the owner and his wife were putting fake relatives on the payroll to show no profit so… Read more »
Part 1 This is a stubborn teaching that has persisted from the time of Merie Weis starting Stanton. This comment posted is very good, and its gladdening this is posted. It was this ‘non-violent’ resistance attitude that Tolstoy preached in Russia prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, that was funded by “J****h” bankers, namely Jacob Schiff of “Kuhn, Loeb, and Co”, where he had been sent right after the Civil War with four goals. 1) Destroy Christianity (He created anti-Christian Anti-Defamation League (ADL), ACLU, and many other non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) targeting Christianity 2) Put Rothschild puppets into positions of… Read more »
When a leader adresses the annual meeting attendees as ‘THE CREME DE LA CREME’; the best of the best; there is a huge problem. Interesting that October’s creme de la creme can become February’s ‘dirt de la dirt’ yet the curch is required to take their counsel; never mention even one word of disagreement or dissatisfaction for fear of withdrawal. The example of Korah is NOT a scriptural reason to withdraw from a mere mortal for disagreeing with another mere mortal. Teachers are NOT Moses and do not have direct revelation but they act like they do, especially when instituting… Read more »
We had a Tuesday class and the class was about the double honor , one of the teacher ( woman) say that double honor could be ,to pay the needs of the evangelist when they got really old .The guy from the pulpit said that he wasn’t agree on that point of view because Honor is not only money . That guy was sat down from his duties as a preacher for a while because he contradicted a teacher . By the way the same contradicted teacher sat him down . I saw the pride and anger because she was… Read more »
If you take an eighty year time span and divide it up into twenty years groups you have the four seasons. 0 to 20 is the spring of life, 20 to 40 is the summer of life, 40 to 60 is the fall of life, and 60 to 80 is the winter of life. An elder would be someone in the winter of life. In northern New Mexico on the Navajo reservation they do not use the terms grandma nor grandpa but rather tribal elders. There are younger widows and there are elder widows (60 years or three score 1… Read more »
I am agree with you with the double honor but my point is the teacher was sharing her point of view , just an opinion; not a excuse to sat down a preacher because he couldn’t see it in the way that she see it . That’s oppression
It is a power game for sure and played inside the one true church. A study of psychological violence or psychological harassment reveals many of the tactics used against the unsuspecting. If you take the ten commandments and apply them to a leadership role you will see the errors. An example is the commandment thou shalt not kill, King Saul killed, King David killed, and King Solomon killed, but if you apply Luke 16:19-31 with the withholding of needed food this is murder by neglect now how many times has needed instructions been withheld by a spiritual leader resulting in… Read more »
What is psychological harassment? Challenging someone to the point of breaking them psychologically, or mentally, or emotionally. How many forms of psychological harassment are there? There are many forms of psychological harassment. What is the most common form of psychological harassment? Verbal harassment in the form of public humiliation, mockery, weaken the morale of individuals through constant criticism, and mobbing. What is mobbing? It is a collective form of psychological violence in which many individuals unite to persecute an individual by making constant negative comments, repeated criticisms or sarcasms, threats, intimidation, insinuations, attempts to humiliate, circulate false information concerning the… Read more »
To give an example of mobbing in the COC: there was a woman teacher in a Montana congregation who was not just a local teacher but a regional counselor as well who had a preacher, a single man with four daughters at that time of whom it was said that he gives great lessons but he is full of unbelief and is going to fall away any day now. I met the man one day at a meeting in southern California and told him of this and he said he had wondered why they would baptize people and at first… Read more »
Another question one must ask when being accused of wrong doing from the pulpit is when did this happen? I was constantly being reproved for things I did one time years earlier. You could do a load of laundry every now and then, which I had to wonder what they were talking about as I helped my wife around the house everyday. I have come to realize that once an accusation is found that works it will be used repeatedly whether or not it is still valid. My son, now 28 tells me that the ex-wife is complaining that I… Read more »
One of the greatest gifts I was given in the SCOC was the teaching of daily study. I still study every day and not just the Bible but people as well, to me people are just like books. I learn the beginning, the middle, and the end of a person and it reveals so much than just surface knowledge. An eclectic is a person who does not study deeply but draws from many different surface sources and many appear to have understandings but when asked the source for their knowledge or how to apply the knowledge in different areas of… Read more »
There is no such thing as private counsel with the cult. Counsel is shared and even the more so if you leave the cult.
If you’re talking about DWC being the regional counselor who fell away; she didn’t fall away; she was permanently ousted and told never to return. She had no choice in the matter of attending once this ‘punishment’ was instituted.
The title or idea of a ‘Regional counselor’, who is set up by man to have some sort of extra knowledge and understanding and must be obeyed, is erroneous and unbiblical.
Not DWC she was in Des Moines, the other wicked false female teacher was in Great Falls Montana. (BD)
Plandemic is right. And for those who think that Stanton is justified in obeying the lying media and government and submitting to mask mandates, getting vaccines, and suspending at least 1,000 classes and personal work events, combined, where is your justification. While many in Stanton claim they did nothing wrong, how is it right to submit to a tyrannical government that essentially ended nearly all of Stanton’s door knocking efforts with a fake virus hoax? Does anyone believe that Jesus, Paul, or any apostle would have obeyed the lying government today and allowed themselves to be silenced? And it’s the… Read more »
Quick question. Why do you call the virus a hoax? I have 4 friends who died from it. Please don’t jump all over me about this question. I really don’t understand.

They were turned on at the same time and place the coronavirus started, Wuhan China, October 2019.

Exactly what the Jews are doing today. Whining about being victims, while they try to plunder and loot the entire earth. “However, this Christian opposition to racial discrimination is very skilfully utilised by the Jews; and in the shadow of the same they weld their devilish intrigues against the Catholic Church and all Christian order, by their forming the Communist system, where there is neither God nor church nor supersensual norms of any kind. As soon as they are attacked, they protest with crying lamentation and show themselves as victims of inhuman racial discrimination, only for the purpose of crippling… Read more »
1929, Jewish bankers crashed Wall Street, with their manipulation of the Federal Reserve. By removing money from circulation, and calling in loans, it brought on the crash of 1929. Afterwards, it brought on the Great Depression, where millions were pushed into joblessness and homelessness, after easy credit had been granted in the 1920’s. When Americans were nearly helpless, the Jew bankers staged Pearl Harbor, and started dumping billions of dollars into the economy again, to fund the war. Likely they controlled both sides, and were funding Germany and Russia. They gave billions in war supplies to Communist Russia at China,… Read more »
According to the Jewish Talmud, every woman who isn’t a Jew is a prostitute.
Their disdain towards other peoples goes so far as to assert: “What is a prostitute? Every woman who is not a Jewess.”5
And every person who isn’t a Jew is a beast.
“You, Israelites, are called men, while the peoples of the world do not deserve the name of men but that of beasts.”3
So, to Jews, the women in our families and friends are prostitutes, and all of us are beasts.
From “The Plot against the Church”

1 Samuel 15:23 or rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king What does witchcraft look like today? “We have a brother in a congregation…….” That’s what it looks like. The sentence is followed with some wrongdoing done by some Christian man in the church of Stanton. When this is done by a woman teacher, which it has been done hundreds, if not thousands, of times in Stanton‘s history, you are listening to rebellion. These are some… Read more »
How is an older woman going to instruct a younger woman to love and obey her husband, and to raise her children, of the older woman never learned herself, and isn’t practicing it? She can’t, can’t give to others what we first don’t have ourselves. Sadly, as the women in Stanton were never trained on proper submission, which means women never sharing in Bible classes, and only teaching other women in ladies classes, or teaching kids in kids classes, obeying their husbands is a very difficult task. And this leads to the lust problem in our society getting even worse,… Read more »
Merie Weiss, women teachers, and lust. There is absolutely no arguing the fact that there has never been, in the history of humanity, a time when there was more temptation for lust then exists today. Never before has the temptation for lust been so anonymous, so aggressive, so affordable, and so accessible, which are the four A’s driving the pornography industry today. Now, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out, that when man’s chances for marriage are severely decreased, that the probability that a man will fall into lust will go up dramatically. As a matter of… Read more »
Trusting in women and teachers There are very good reasons why God wanted men to be preachers, men to be teachers, men to be elders, men to be deacons, men to be bishops, and meant to be a evangelists. He did not want women for these positions for very good reasons. Why is this? Because, women’s nature is they are fickle, they are emotional, and they are very really unreliable when it comes to dealing with problems that men frequently come across. Think about it, do women really want to marry a man who constantly comes to them for help… Read more »
Church history does not start with Merie Weiss. For nearly the entire history of Stanton, the members have been taught by teachers, many oppressive ones, (because oppression is necessary to control others when you lack the moral authority, persuasion, wisdom, and knowledge to guide and convince others), that Stanton is the only church on the earth going to heaven, because the Bible says so. May it be submitted, that if the only reason you are a member of a church is because it gives you a feeling of self importance, that you are better than all other 8 billion humans… Read more »
The SCOC is true and right in their assertion to being the one true church. The Catholic church also makes the assertion that they are the one true church, and the LDS church makes the assertion that they are the one true church, and perhaps many other religions as well; so how do you distinguish who is telling the truth and who are the imposters? By their fruits you shall know them, their behaviors will identify them as either good or evil. The lack of good behaviors is the same as the lack of fruits in a thorn bush, nothing… Read more »
Anti-semitism and misogyny, words created by Jews; and parroted by mindless drones who were indoctrinated in Jew colleges. Jews infiltrated the colleges when Kaplan, the famous study guide makers of nearly all tests, was able to obtain all questions from the SAT. Jewish students easily studied and aced the test, and then took control of nearly all colleges. Six out of seven Ivy League schools have Jewish Deans. Who is the CEO of YouTube? Wojcicki, Jew. Who is the CEO of Facebook, Zuckerberg, Jew. Who are the founders of Wikipedia? Larry Sanger, and Jimmy Wales, Jews. Who are the founders… Read more »
Also, it’s a huge shock when people learn the media is owned by Jews, and has been controlled by them for at least the last 100 years. That means everything on television, everything in Hollyweird, everything in the newspaper, everything on the radio, everything on social media, everything on search engine algorithms is run by Jews. And, the Jews have targeted the black community as muscle for their Communist Revolution. Jew Communist Israel Cohen said this, “We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is RACIAL TENSION. By propounding into the consciousness of the DARK races, that for centuries… Read more »
I saw the YouTube video of you being carried away by four police officers at the Vallejo city council meeting, pretty amusing I have to say. Why not attend? Simple it is to dangerous under the current leadership especially in light of the recent death threats (which is extortion) kill him like Uzzah or words to that effect. The current leader gets extremely upset whenever I edify showing that he has a hatred of knowledge. If I showed my face inside a COC how would the faithful followers react? With a funeral squad to disrupt non member funerals, what other… Read more »
With further consideration of the talk I have to say that there are things that need to be considered such as the man in Prescott valley being declared a false teacher why was he discontented with leadership? Did he suffer abuse from his father and therefore has little confidence in authority figures? With individuals who have suffered under abusive authority you cannot teach them God as the father but rather God as the son because they distrust authority. The talk was not a biblical lesson but rather he was talking about himself and drawing his judgment from his own limited… Read more »
I have to ask forgiveness in my zeal of the pursuit of sin that I went to far and expressed my discontentment with the church on several different posts and now humbly ask forgiveness for my murmuring. I do not condemn those who have sinned against me and my family though the evil be great but do pray for and ask others to pray for those who have gone astray into the paths of pride and abuse that they may see the errors of their ways and repent and confess and be forgiven.
One of the best virtues of Christianity is that of forgiveness. Those that can’t forgive spend the rest of their lives plotting revenge. They are truly miserable people holding onto grudges for their entire life even after the person who wronged them is dead and buried they still hold hatred in their hearts. How much more enjoyable is life when you can forgive and forget and move forward with you life. The teachings of Christ make life beautiful again.
In Proverbs 30:11-14 Solomon writes about a generation of wickedness. Children who would have no respect for their parents and elders but would turn against them and seek to destroy them in their weakness and perhaps old age, a generation of thorn bushes These behavioral descriptions fit the Pharisees of Christ’s day, and Christ reproved them for their devices they created to abandon their elderly parents and not provide support for them by saying it is a gift so I do not have to support my parents any more I am free of that financial burden. A thorn bush produces… Read more »
In Proverbs 1:19 Solomon writes about the leavening agent of covetousness to the sin of murder In looking for biblical examples of robbers who became murders one can find many examples like the man chosen to live over Christ, named Barabbas and of course Judas. How did Christ know Judas would be part of his murder? Judas was covetous and the Pharisees also would be part of his murder because they too were covetous. Perhaps Judas was not self aware or perhaps he was blinded by his greed but either way Covetousness is to murder what yeast is to bread… Read more »
What does the Talmud say?
Jesus and Paul were massive “anti-semites”. You should be too.
Just listened to called to contend on YouTube and found it interesting. I would say that subtility is neither good nor evil but amoral or non moral, a tool used by the wise both righteously wise and evil wise. For example Solomon wrote in Proverbs 1:8 that children should listen to their parents implying that wisdom starts in childhood and you can tell the wise from the foolish by those children who listen and those who don’t. In Proverbs 1:10-19 it tells of the recruitment efforts of the evil by the enticement of great riches but the father cautions against… Read more »
I also wanted to mention that the talk is autobiographical in that his desire started with his first kiss but that is not true for everyone. King Davids desire for Bathsheba started with seeing someone indiscreet and voyeurism is one of the paths of seduction. Instead of saying I need to keep my eyes to myself king David allowed his desire to take him down a path of self destruction. He could have said to himself that she is beautiful on the outside but a a contentious woman on the inside to discourage himself from his sin. Voyers do not… Read more »
The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower is it in reaching maturity. Man reaches the maturity of his reasoning and mental faculties scarcely before he is eight-and-twenty; woman when she is eighteen; but hers is reason of very narrow limitations. This is why women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important. It is by virtue of man’s reasoning powers that he does not live in the present… Read more »
Dozens, if not hundreds of times, in Stanton, teachers have been withdrawn from for oppression. Now, there doesn’t seem to be any precedent for this in the New Testament, as you never see any teacher getting sat down or withdrawn from for oppression. Besides, oppression is a very subjective topic. What one person might call reasonable treatment, another may call oppression. That said, there definitely has been harsh and cruel treatment of members. But, let us consider. Since the Bible clearly tells women to be silent in churches, and the women have been violating this command routinely ever since Merie… Read more »
Fear of God, studies, women teachers The church in Stanton has, from the very beginning, stressed the importance of studying the Bible. Which is wonderful, as no other book can reform peoples lives for the better as that one can. Members of Stanton have been very diligent at studying, beginning with Merie, who is reputed to have studied 3 hours a day. It’s doubtful your average member has that much time to study, since Merie had no job, no spouse, and no children. Let us estimate each member, conservatively, studies 5 hours a week. Let us estimate there are 1,200… Read more »
There are dozens of false arguments used to justify women teachers.
Consider this: YP, the tow truck preacher approached me one day saying that a sister in the church had a specific behavior and it just wasn’t right but gave no commandment or any law rule or ordinance that had been violated then proceeded to describe this sisters behavior to me, which was my behavior. A few years later his replacement the preacher from Albuquerque did the same thing saying that a sister in the church had a certain behavior and it wasn’t right then he described my behavior to me. So who decides what a woman is in the churches?… Read more »
Consider Proverbs 5:15-17 where Solomon writing in the abstract talks about a cistern, a well, a fountain, and a river. All four are a source of water but in increasing amounts. A cistern is a storage device used to collect rainwater in the wet season and return it in the dry season. A cistern does not produce anything it only returns what is given to it. If water is used as the metaphor for knowledge then a cistern is similar to those who hear and repeat but do not study on their own to prove what they hear true or… Read more »
Knowledge is not the only metaphor for knowledge consider Proverbs 9:13 -18 where is speaks of a woman in a high place teaching that stolen waters are sweet and apply this behavioral pattern to Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39:7-20. She was in a high place being the wife of a powerful man. She offered Joseph the sweet waters of adultery, but as Christ taught no one can love two masters for you will love one and hate the other so when forced to chose between her powerful husband and a slave who would be put to death? The wives of… Read more »
should say knowledge is not the only metaphor for water.
Roman’s 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Since asking confessions is necessary for running stop signs and red lights, what do you do if you ran the border illegally, and are here in America as an illegal immigrant? It appears many churches understand running a stop sign and running a red light is illegal, but don’t understand border hopping is illegal and a much bigger and more permanent sin. How can you take the Lords Supper if you are in… Read more »
An argument can be made, if a person is in America illegally, and they attend church, that God is allowing this to happen, leading them to America , so the church should allow members who are illegals.
If that’s true, then if you run ten red lights on your way to worship, that should be fine too, because God was leading you to church too, a bit of a difficult journey, that’s all.
In Portland confessions were being made for entering an intersection on a yellow light. How about a business owner paying an Illegal Immigrant who is his employee by check in the employee’s wives name.
Thou canst break the law on immigration and employees, that all your employees are American citizens, if thou payest thy employee in his American citizens wife’s name.

Hope that helps. These scriptures are hard to find, but with the Holy Spirit and diligent study, you can find the truth.
Yes double standards do exist, take for example from the last may week talk about how careful leadership has to be with people courting but there was carefulness when the boyfriend showed up after twelve years and all of a sudden wanted to be a father and the council from leadership was if I had a father I would want to know him which opened the door to having dinner at the woman’s house with the children and as no man can have two masters so no woman can have a boyfriend and a husband. She was led straight into… Read more »
Merie’s cult will never have strong leadership. Stronger leadership sure. However, its a dead church. The teaching that they are the only true church is comical. Eyes need to be opened for members to see. Hopefully they do and will walk away from the oppressive and controlling cult.
Virtue is its own reward and vice is it’s own punishment. If you as a man enjoy looking at inappropriate images then I can tell you what the end of that path will be. Each time you give into the lust of the eye you will grow a little weaker until you are so mentally weak that you can’t stand before your enemies. When you do not stand up to your enemies they will see you as food and attack and devour you and your family. A prime example is the prattling fool who when challenged fell to the floor… Read more »
Hilarious. Go learn the First Amendment. It gives you five rights, right to grieve, right to religion, right to assemble, right to speech, and right to a free press. The fool is the one who, when confronted with evil, not only says nothing publicly, abdicating his duty as a man, but throws stones and backstabs those who do. Already known for lying on here, having slandered GP as a homosexual, thereby destroying all your credibility, but it doesn’t faze you, you are implacable, Then, you come up with the wise advice, that when confronted by four police officers, crumbling and… Read more »
Well, I love you too, and bless your heart. In Proverbs 5:15-16 it speaks of a cistern, a well, a fountain, and a river. Four stages of personal growth, the cistern is the starting point, the well is small, the fountain is medium, and the river is large personal growth. Similarly, the parable of talents is also about small, medium, and large amounts of personal growth. A well can yield either salt water or fresh; but not both, and as the wheat grows, so do the tares. A large lexicon does not show righteousness neither does self-centeredness. You assume the… Read more »
As far as your insults and false accusations they don’t bother me at all. I am well versed in emotional warfare having been married to a malignant narcissist for several years. You need to come up with some new flaming darts to throw at me, your false accusations have become cliche and as such should be forgotten. As for me though my god, whose name is Jesus Christ teaches me to pray for my enemies and to do good to those who despitefully use me and abuse me, and so I do. God hears the prayers of his people and… Read more »
As far as being universally avoided you have used that type of argument before and it is called “social proof”. I am not universally avoided so you are using false social proof which makes your argument based on faulty reasoning called a spurious argument and spurious reasoning and spurious arguments should be avoided. Men do indeed get raped by other men read the account of Sodom and Gomorrah in the book of Genesis, and a more modern day example is the prison riot in Attica NY where corrections officers were raped by inmates, yes bad men do indeed exist and… Read more »
In Duetetonomy 25:4 Moses gives a simple instruction to not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn and Paul the apostle refers to this carnal rule when explaining why spiritual leaders need financial support. God is not a hypocrite when one edifies the body of Christ he blesses that person with financial support. If you are not making enough to make ends meet then instead of working extra trying to be more edifying and see how God will provide for you. The opposite is also true that is if you are playing to much and not seeking to… Read more »
God says you don’t love me or anyone else because lying indicates hatred. You also are a massive slanderer, but when it’s written, it’s libel. Slander isn’t a commonly used word, so let’s define it. Most, if not all, evil comes from ignorance. From Webster’s 1828 Dictionary: Slander: A false tale or report maliciously uttered. and tending to injure the reputation of another by lessening him in the esteem of his fellow citizens, by exposing him to impeachment and punishment, or by impairing his means of living; defamation. slander that worst of poisons, ever finds an easy entrance to ignoble… Read more »
Projection is a terrible self deceit. Instead of taking responsibility for one’s behavior a guilty person will project their faults and sins upon others. Seems so wise to the untrained eye. I do applaud that you are starting to use the scriptures for faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, maybe there is hope for you soul yet. Let’s address your licentiousness; That is: your public sex talk. Sex is always a private matter and when made public it is profaned, which it should never be. You posting your sexual fantasies which is open to the public… Read more »
Incredible. Caught in another lie, and you naturally deflect. We are not discussing anything, including more slander from you when you were just given the definition of slander until you admit you have lied many times on here; and agree to stop doing it. Speaking with serial liars is an exercise in futility. Your kind is implacable. You get caught in obvious public sins, and you seek to justify yourself by creating faults about others and slandering them. You are a wicked liar, and until you admit that, we aren’t talking again. Kevin should have blocked you long ago; free… Read more »
You can’t destroy my self esteem, remember I was under the tow truck preacher for 3 years and suffered his overreacting to the smallest gnats. My self esteem come from knowing and obeying God’s law not from anyone’s opinion of me either good or bad. Your angry attitude indicates your inability to reason and reliance upon an emotional argument, which seems plausible at first but under closer examination proves impractical therefore your emotional argument is a specious argument and is easily dismissed. You falsely accuse me of lying but never mention the specific lie, a broad generalization which is easily… Read more »
As far as the false accusation against me about leadership being homosexual let’s examine that. A statement was made that the reason the bread is not broken more than once is because it leads to sodomy, that statement is sex talk that is it is licentiousness. Who would willingly follow a licentious man? He can not stand before our common enemy Satan and protect the flock because he is weak spiritually and the flock is left unprotected from the filth that Satan and those who personify him, and spread like a river of sewage into the minds of the meek.… Read more »
The word “Pride” appears exactly three times in the New Testament. It is never used in the Bible to reference someone telling the truth. Of the 40+ times the word appears in the Old Testament, 12-20 are describing very evil men, wholly given over to wickedness. You never find a righteous man in the Bible, telling the truth, getting into trouble for his pride. Often, those who call out the pride in others, are merely protecting their own. The objective truth isn’t dependent on age, it isn’t dependent on experience in the church, it isn’t dependent on roles in the… Read more »

Further, the word “proud” appears 6 times in the New Testament, and of those six, half are in listings of very bad sins, where men have no intention of changing. Pride is having a high opinion of oneself, and it is always pride to oppose one who tells the truth, no matter what their background or station in life may be. God often works with flawed men to tell truth. A good story about that. “Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano, a mother took the small boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the… Read more »
Lastly, the roles for the genders were established in Creation. All of those who work to subvert those roles, and to elevate the woman to an equal status with the man, attacking the order God himself established for marriage and church, are fighting against God, the Creator. They may succeed for a season, but, no one opposes God’s order without serious harm and destruction to themselves. Despite the massive good Merie did, she neglected the basic role for women that God designed. No matter what errors were present in the church, it wasn’t her place to correct them. She was… Read more »
What good did Merie do?
Without her influence, many of our parents would have never met, and over half the children born in Stanton never would have been born. Her stances opposing the vices of promiscuity, alcohol, drugs, television, abortion, homosexuality, and birth control are views held by less than 10% of the churches in America today. Unfortunately, as Ecclesiastes 10:1 states, a little folly ruins a lot. Especially when that folly isn’t recognized and repented of. [1] Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and… Read more »
I agree God did establish roles for each gender and responsibilities for each as well. When men fail to fulfill their responsibilities, the burden becomes double on the women and children. The double burden does not destroy the women and children but it in fact makes them stronger. Why listen to a man who does not provide financial support nor spend time fathering his children? Why listen to a spiritual father who also neglects his responsibility to feed the flock? When the women rise up is it not because the men have failed them? A commandment that needs to be… Read more »
Hello Arizona, what did you not understand about what I said before? Why don’t you go somewhere else on the website and comment to your heart’s content? You are not wanted, you are a liar, and until that changes, no one is addressing your nonsense. Never in my life have I encountered a serial liar who refuses to be quiet and insists on shoving his unwanted, ahistorical, uninformed, inconsiderate, foolish opinions into everyone else’s conversation. For over ten years, you have filled this website with lies, half-truths, and bullheaded, stubborn, and poorly-researched opinions. No wise person wants to deal with… Read more »
Has anyone here watched ‘Shiny Happy People’? It’s a documentary on the Duggar family (19 Kids and Counting) and Bill Gothard, the man who started the Institute for Basic Life Principles, known as IBLP, and the homeschool curriculum ATI. Advanced training Institute.
I’ve read a lot about it; Twitter was full of the Godless heathens praising it to justify their wicked lifestyles. This appears to be more proof of why no one should own a Jewvision. Television has been controlled by Talmudic Jews from the time it was invented, in the early 1900s, along with the radio, invented in 1918, and Hollyweird. Small wonder it has promoted perversion and constantly attacked the family and the Christian church. Consider, since 1980, have there been any television shows or movies showing a wife staying home and having as many children as she can have… Read more »
Again, your only tactic is to blame all evil in the world on Jewish people. It’s a tired ploy on your part, and the endless, seething antisemitism you hold deep in your heart (and display here with minimal provocation) would be laughable if it wasn’t part of a dangerous racism which seeks to slander Jews as some sort of monolithic, sinister, world-controlling cabal. And you continue to do this with zero proof or evidence, except for some rabid and debunked screeds you repeatedly cite and use as your references. Do you not remember that Jesus Christ Himself was a Jew?
Jonathan Greenblatt, is that you?
The church of Christ produces two types of people: Christians and anti-Christians. From the beginning there was Cain and Able, Jacob and Esau, and many others; all examples of Christ and Satan, and today is no different. My first teacher was an extortioner, he liked to scream, insult, belittle and mock me and others and was praised as a great preacher. He did not help anyone but rather made our life more difficult with his never-ending demands upon our time and financial resources. He was an anti-Christian. The prattling fool made the local news in Sacramento a few weeks ago… Read more »
The individual from Vallejo uses victimhood as his sheep’s clothing for when has a victim ever done anything wrong? Behavioral analysis reveals not a sheep but a wolf. The level of aggression he displays toward those who disagree with him reveals not a sheep but a predator. He has made anonymous death threats against women who disagree with him and when questioned about it he does not deny it but deflects the question. What kind of man threatens women? Is this form of extortion acceptable behavior for a self-professed Christian man? He is just another bully of the weak who… Read more »
“Behavioral analysis,” more absurdities from that Jew fraud Freud. Poor Arizona had his mind warped by college and may never recover. I don’t put up with willful ignorance. No righteous person in the Bible did. Liars and those who are lazy thinkers are to be dismissed quickly. On the internet, it’s not easy to get rid of your nonsense, but in real life, I avoid your type like the plague. It’s a tremendous waste of time. You love to argue, love to talk, but hate to listen and hate to learn. It’s hard to do the work to find the… Read more »
Thank you for that, CNN. Now go research Leo Frank. The entire purpose of the internet was to create tens of millions of unthinking mindless drones like you. Sorry to say it. You’re already an incorrigible liar, but you keep getting deceived anew every day. And you never admit you’re lying or your gross ignorance. And, while you engage in folly of monumental proportions, you project and call others fools. Having already refuted hundreds of your erroneous points, it’s necessary to do it again; every day, you have more errors to refute. This is what happens when you are a… Read more »
I forgive you, my son. My compassion and forbearance run deep, and despite your viciousness and shrill, shrieking fraud, I love you, for you are a child of the Creator, and in your willful blindness, you have doubly sealed the scales against your eyelids. It is mercy and pity I have for you. I do love you, sir. May you one day come to the light and join us.
Nothing I said needs forgiving. You need forgiveness for your constant lying. That you arrogantly call me “my son”, is just incredible. I am no son of yours, but as a liar, you are the son of the devil. Lecturing everyone else on pride, yet parading on here as if you are some compassionate Pope. You keep lying then pretending you are full of love. You are a disgusting and deceived fraud. You don’t love others when you are constantly lying. Learn to love God and truth. This is your usual gaslighting. When blasted for your lies and falsehoods, you… Read more »
You now may be on the radar of certain JDL-affiliated shadow agents, I heard a guy say once. I heard another guy say that they monitor those who are overtly antisemitic. This is all hearsay, of course, but some folks are on lists, and they know their comings and goings, and especially those who promulgate antisemitism. That’s what I heard a guy say once.
You are a weak man pleaser, and fear man. This is why people like you are cowards in public, because you are terrified of man that will die. You are an idolater. You quote the Bible constantly, but when it comes time to tell the truth and to trust in God, you are missing in action, trembling in a cave somewhere, like Saul. One of my favorite verses was said yesterday. Isaiah 51 “ 12] I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the… Read more »
“Video from The Sacramento Bee shows the chaos that disrupted a Sacramento City Council meeting Tuesday when protesters clashed with an attendee who had made racist remarks during public comments the week before. A homeless advocate shouted at and pushed two people seated with Ryan Messano, the 43-year-old Solano County man who made antisemitic remarks at a previous Sacramento council meeting.” You persist with your crackpot conspiracy theories, railing against Jews at a public meeting of the Sacramento City Council; you continue to cite hate-filled, antisemitic passages from debunked tracts such as ‘The International Jew,’ by Henry Ford, himself an… Read more »
When will you learn that the newspapers, radio, television, movies, and celebrities are all controlled by Jewish bankers? Nothing has changed in the last 2,000 years, you aggressive liar. Funny how you liars are constantly fooled by other liars. You do a Google search and are duped by Suzanne’s lies. You do another one, and you are duped by the Sacramento Bee, which supports the satanic homosexual agenda. But that doesn’t bother moral midgets like you. Nothing I said was “racist,” or “antisemitic.” Jesus and Paul criticized Jews too, so it’s alright to be antisemitic. Another lie was the “homeless… Read more »
I love you, Ryan Messano, not because you’re a hate-filled, venomous, scurrilous antisemite, but in spite of it. I am exercising the godly virtues of love, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness, even as Jesus has implored us to love those who hate us. There is no point in arguing with a man who chooses to remain in the darkness, rather than accept a candle with love. It makes me sad that you continue with your infant-like tantrums, and you blame the Jewish people for all the ills of the world, and you operate from hate and fear, but it is your… Read more »
Yes, we know. “I love you”. Another of your lies. You are pathologically incapable of telling the truth. You lie, then say you love people, then lie, then say you love them again. I shudder to think what the experience of any woman was with you. To deal with a gaslighting liar like you could easily drive a woman clear over the edge. Right after your lie about “I love you”; you commence your usual malicious lying, “hate-filled, venomous, scurrilous, antisemite.”. Truly sad. I read about you as a kid, when reading about the treacherous Gollum from the Hobbit. A… Read more »
Your not arguing with me, anonymous from Arizona, but with another person, whom I do not know. I first posted on the blog in 2017 five years ago, not ten years ago. You have many opponents both here on the blog and in other places. I would ask that you reserve your hatred for me alone as I measure the amount of my righteousness by the intensity of my enemy’s hatred for me. I do love your soul which is why I reprove you as much as I do, so that by the hope of the Holy ghost you might… Read more »
Proverbs 22:9 says Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. When a person is slothful then God sends men in the form of constant critics to reprove that person. I did not understand this for the longest time and have often been constantly criticized from all different directions. In the SCOC I was constantly criticized for everything carnal and spiritual and both scripturally and unscripturally, and thought at the time that this is just a toxic church full of negative people. However, after I stopped attending the… Read more »
Proverbs 14: [25] A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. Here we see you are a deceitful witness, and you don’t deliver any souls. Isaiah 9: [15] The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. This is why you are so contemptible, liars are always the tail, looked down on by everyone of substance. Isaiah 59 [3] For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. [4] None calleth for justice, nor any… Read more »
Lying is a form of terrorism, it is hatred. And it discombobulates. I believe you’ve been lying on here for the history of the website, but perhaps I’m wrong, maybe it’s five. It’s impossible to keep track of all your lying, as you tell too many to catalog. Every day, you are on to new lies. You hate learning and listening, as stated before, have little to teach, besides perverted snatches of scripture, and you accept the lying media that promotes the greatest evils as truth. You are a badly deluded man, yet, you exert the energy of a fanatic… Read more »
I love you, Ryan. The slings and arrows you continue to hurl at me do not dissuade me, my child. I am praying for you, with love, hope, and righteous fervor. You continue to harp on anyone who disagrees with you or calls out your errors by calling them liars – and quite creatively, I daresay! However, in the field of psychology (which perhaps is a pseudo-science), what you are doing in such knee-jerk fashion is called “projection,” whereby you project outward against all of your perceived foes, the very quality which is at the core of your own psyche,… Read more »
No, Arizona, you don’t love your own soul, and you definitely don’t love me. Until you learn the humility to stop lying, as lying is another sign of pride, you are rejected by God and all who uphold Gods truth. “My child”, “son”, incredible arrogance and impudence. In the midst of a sea of ignorance and lies, you honestly view yourself as a loving Father. Truly tragic. In your prayers, please include prayers that God would open your blinded eyes and help you to stop lying daily. It’s a tough habit to break. You’ve not refuted a single fact I’ve… Read more »
Perhaps it is time that you reevaluate the premise upon which you base your mode of thinking, for it is like, to paraphrase Oz, a “clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk!”
All facetiousness aside, methinks thou doth protest too much.
Great, you actually managed a comment without a brazen lie. Now you are into logical fallacies, which your arguments are full of. This is your ad hominem, logical fallacy. As usual, you are a moral and intellectual midget. When you aren’t lying, you are posting two sentences to vainly try to refute 10-30 indicting your lying treachery. You can learn a lot from the Oz collection. In one of the 14 masterful books by Baum, “The Lost Princess of Oz”, it tells of Ugu the shoemaker, a deceitful and wicked sorcerer. Sounds like you. You conjure up lying apparitions with… Read more »
I am curious did the Holocaust really occur in Germany in the 1940’s?
It’s good to question. Every American military conflict from the 1898 Spanish American war onwards has been instigated by, financed by, and waged for Jewish bankers. Maine incident was rigged to get America into the Spanish American war. Lusitania incident was rigged to get America into World War 1. Let’s carefully review World War 1 and the surrounding period. Early 1912, Titanic goes down, owned by Bankers pawn and Federal Reserve proponent JP Morgan. Three biggest opponents of Federal Reserve all go down with the Titanic. Strauss, Guggenheim, and Astor. November 1912, Woodrow Wilson elected President with a paltry 40%… Read more »
You didn’t answer the question. What do you think about George Lincoln Rockwell? The national alliance? The Aryan nations?
You will receive no responses to your questions until you master the basics of World War 2 history. All you are doing is using your Google search knowledge to appear intelligent. Understanding takes more work than Google searches. Your entire view of history is shaped by media, Google, and schools, which is where you got your distorted views of history from. If jumping to conclusions without careful research were an Olympic event, you’d win Gold. When you post three serious books with primary source witnesses on World War 2, and I have dozens to recommend, that you’ve read, that’s when… Read more »
“The Second World War” by Antony Beevor: This comprehensive account of World War II by renowned historian Antony Beevor draws upon a wide range of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and firsthand testimonies. Beevor provides a detailed narrative of the war from multiple perspectives, covering major events and campaigns on various fronts. “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William L. Shirer: This seminal work by journalist William L. Shirer offers an in-depth examination of Nazi Germany and its role in the origins and progression of World War II. Shirer, who was a firsthand witness to the events… Read more »
Great, and I enjoyed Shirer’s magnificent “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” when I read it ten years ago. Please confirm you actually read those books, and aren’t just posting them. You already admitted you only read the Bible, now you are saying you read these three books too? Which statement is true? Shirer was funded by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), formed by…wait for it..,,Jew Paul Warburg, who was also the first head of the Federal Reserve. His brother James, married Rothschild associate Jacob Schiff’s daughter, Frieda. Schiff, as mentioned many times, was sent to America… Read more »
What are you views on white supremacy?
I have read ordinary men reserve police battalion 101 as it was recommended by psychologist Jordan Peterson and it explains how to take ordinary men and turn them into blood thirsty killers through the use of group pressure. The men were recruited into what they thought was an honorable profession, that being a police officer in the occupied territories but when they arrived there the commanding officer read their orders, crying as he did so, and told his men that if any did not want to participate, they should leave right there and then and return to Germany which two… Read more »
Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, are all controlled opposition figures. They are paid to mislead conservatives. All three of them will ignore evidence when asked who controls the worlds money.
All three will lose their jobs if they tell the truth.
I’d recommend reading Myron Fagan’s “The Illuminati and the CFR” which is only 34 pages.
Read “Mein Kampf”, there are two sides to every story. 99% of Americans have never honestly considered both sides.
Besides, we never should have been in World War 2. Pearl Harbor was rigged. Hitler tried to avoid war with Britain and America.
What is your opinion of The Turner Diaries by William Pierce?
Stopped reading it when the protagonist yielded to fornication, in the beginning chapters. You like to ask questions that are loaded. All of your questions are to prove your media conditioned theory that anyone with my opinions must be a “Nazi,” and “White supremacist.” Do you agree with the media and Democrats that White Supremacy is the biggest threat to America? If so what data do you have? Do you believe systematic racism is a problem in America? If so, what data do you have? Do you believe all races can be racist? Can you please tell me what the… Read more »
What is your opinion on interracial marriage? Should black men be allowed to marry white women?
I’m afraid that is not how a conversation works, Arizona. In a conversation ideas and questions are exchanged. This is not an interrogation. I am not here to answer machine gun questions that you have for me all aimed at the same conclusion that you started with. You are not trying to acquire facts to learn, you are like a courtroom prosecutor, your questions are to prove the guilt, that you believe is there with no proof. You start with a conclusion and your questions are designed to prove your conclusion. You have it all backwards. I’d be happy to… Read more »
The sacrotic method of instruction is to lead people to a conclusion by asking questions. I am not trying to lead you anywhere as you are intractable, like most fools. It is for the audience sake that I seek to expose your sandy foundation of hatred of all others. Money too is a sandy foundation and my oh my how your joy turned to hate when your money was taken away, but in truth the hatred of all others was always there it was just masked by your love of money. I prefer to be the object of your derisions… Read more »
You are right about the Socratic method. You spelled it as well as you understand it though. To guide others to the truth with questions, you first must have rigorously questioned all your beliefs to know they are true. You DEFINITELY don’t do this. You eagerly parrot the lies the media, schools, and internet tell you. Socrates said, “I know that I know nothing.” You’d do well to imitate him. Your many lies originate from a lazy attitude towards learning, coupled with a desperate desire for respect and to be liked. This egoism is disastrous for personal relationships, as you… Read more »
Your attack on my veracity have become trite. 1000 people per hour did indeed die, the USA lost about 385 thousand in WWII, the Soviet Union lost 24 million, and many other nations lost enormous amounts of people and when averaged out comes to 1000 killed every hour quote. As far as you previous comment about not being able to maintain a relationship I have to ask how long did Merie Wiess first marriage last? How long did her second marriage last? If a woman as Holy and just like Merie Wiess could not sustain a marriage how much less… Read more »
You are a habitual liar. We will name them constantly, so you don’t forget. We will add as you tell them. Lie #1. GP is a homosexual because he warned against leaving traditions saying it may lead to acceptance of homosexuality. Lie #2, I issued death threats because some internet website says so. Lie #3, I’m affiliated with the Proud Boys. Lie #4, FROM YOUR COMMENT ABOVE, the Soviet Union had 24 million killed in the Holocaust, when only 6 million were alleged to have been killed. You lie so much, that in about two more weeks of commenting, the… Read more »
I don’t respond to your questions as that would give you a place of superiority that you do not deserve. I was not the one posting about the proud boys, I do not know anything about them, that was another one of your critics. Why only three accusations? I thought you were smart enough to come up with at least ten. Perhaps I have over estimated your intelligence. You don’t like being called a fool as it is to harsh? Fair enough I will stop referring to you in a derogatory manner. Let’s address another one of your comments about… Read more »
As an addendum I would ask you: do you hate me yet? Do you want to kill me yet? I await your death threats as I know they will come for the unclean have no natural affection and do not seek to preserve human life which is the gift of God. Go ahead and follow the bad example of your spiritual leader and start making death threats like he did. Just remember there are no murders allowed into Heaven, and if you even hate you are the equivalent of a murderer.
Do you think me pernicious? Well maybe I am. You have not heard half of my exploits in the Phoenix congregation, so listen up and be schooled in the ways of economic warfare. We had a man, a bricklayer by trade but a handyman mostly who could not buy his fellowship food one Sunday so I bought it for him as he was very poor. Then we had a cab driver by trade who also could not buy his fellowship food so I bought it for him as he was very poor also. Then we had a soon to be… Read more »
Why would I hate you or wish harm on you? Your lying angers everyone you come into contact with, but it comes from your ignorance, as all evil does. You have these delusions of grandeur, where your view of yourself and how God and humanity view you are two different things. Scary, because if you go too far, you lose touch with reality, Two kinds of ignorant people. The honest and humble, and the dishonest and proud. You are definitely in the latter category. The former category is the one that gets ahead in life. The latter category is bitter… Read more »
“ I don’t respond to your questions as that would give you a place of superiority that you do not deserve.” No arrogance there. You’re saying you are too good to answer questions from people you view as beneath you. This from a man who freely comments on many topics he doesn’t research, and who hasn’t read any other book but the Bible, that he claims, yet, doesn’t even follow the Bible, as he lies frequently. Lie #5, you posted three books on World War 2, representing you read them, when asked if you read them, you didn’t respond, likely… Read more »
Good to hear you believe there are Christians outside of Merie’s cult.
I don’t agree it’s a cult. That’s a word just invented in the last century or so. People have mistaken beliefs, we all do. Spiritual pride is a powerful emotion, it was what drove the Pharisees, and it drives many religious leaders today. The Pharisees had power, and they used it to persecute Christ, who did not have the power of their organizations or traditions. But he had the power of God, which is the greatest power known to man. I have learned, whenever a man is in error, to look at him and say, “There but for the grace… Read more »
While it is important to approach discussions with respect and empathy, it is also crucial to acknowledge the harmful effects that certain belief systems and organizations can have on individuals and society. Cults, as they are commonly understood, can cause significant harm and destruction. Here are some points to consider: Manipulation and Control: Cults often employ manipulative techniques to control their members, such as isolating them from friends and family, enforcing strict rules and regulations, and using coercive tactics to ensure compliance. This control can lead to the loss of personal autonomy and critical thinking. Exploitation and Abuse: Many cults… Read more »
“While it is important to approach discussions with respect and empathy, it is also crucial to acknowledge the harmful effects that certain belief systems and organizations can have on individuals and society. Cults, as they are commonly understood, can cause significant harm and destruction. Here are some points to consider:“ You have a severe problem with reading comprehension. You have a lot of nerve too. You just completely ignored half a dozen books sent your way and were completely unable to refute dozens of facts blowing up your current belief system, and you are back on here trying to lecture… Read more »
“Your comments show you think like a woman.” It is important to recognize that making generalizations about an entire gender is unfair and can perpetuate stereotypes. People’s thoughts and perspectives are influenced by a variety of factors, including personal experiences, education, and cultural background. It is more accurate and respectful to engage with ideas and arguments rather than making assumptions based on gender. You remind me of some of the characters in the novel “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson,” who hate women and exhibit misogyny and display a negative attitude towards women, which includes committing violence… Read more »
Men and women are not equal. God created two different spheres for us. “ It is important to recognize that making generalizations about an entire gender is unfair and can perpetuate stereotypes. People’s thoughts and perspectives are influenced by a variety of factors, including personal experiences, education, and cultural background. It is more accurate and respectful to engage with ideas and arguments rather than making assumptions based on gender.” This comment sounds like you found an AI toy and asked its opinion on my comments. Exactly the kind of deceitful trick I’d expect of Arizona. Mens and women’s bodies, brains,… Read more »
Your disturbing assertion that Adolf Hitler was misunderstood and the Holocaust did not occur is an affront to all humanity, Ryan. I must say that such a claim is not only historically inaccurate but also morally reprehensible. It is important to address this issue with the seriousness and disdain it deserves. To begin with, let me make it abundantly clear that the Holocaust is an extensively documented historical event, supported by an overwhelming body of evidence. The systematic genocide of six million Jews, along with millions of other innocent victims, was meticulously orchestrated by the Nazi regime under Hitler’s leadership.… Read more »
Hello anonymous deluded one, Let me begin by saying I apologize if you are in Stanton, because if so, I’d use a much different approach. Definitely not as harsh and severe as will follow. My name is Ryan, and thank you for the introduction, letting us all know you are a naive and gullible pawn of the lying media and schools. Thank you for not imitating Arizona and lying though, that’s a dramatic improvement. At least you stick to the “facts” you believe. You have a nasty case of cognitive dissonance and Dunning-Kruger. About five rounds in a decent and… Read more »
I must address your assertions, though I am deeply concerned about the tone and content of your message. It is important to approach discussions with respect and a commitment to evidence-based reasoning. Let’s examine your points: Your ad hominem attacks and derogatory language towards me and those who disagree with you do not contribute to a constructive conversation. Resorting to insults undermines your argument and demonstrates a lack of willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue. The claim that I am a “naive and gullible pawn” of the media and schools is baseless. It is essential to critically evaluate information from… Read more »
“ I must address your assertions, though I am deeply concerned about the tone and content of your message. ” You should be more concerned about truth and what God thinks. If you saw the destructive future your beliefs lead to, you’d be frantically thanking me. As for content, how are you concerned about it? You clearly didn’t thoroughly examine it, as six books were posted, and you clearly hadn’t read one of them before, and you definitely haven’t read them since the comment was posted. So you are demonstrating the same lazy thinking that got you into this predicament,… Read more »
Go ahead, keep on setting up your strawman arguments for me, and I will continue to knock them down with the sword of truth.
Are you a comedian? You haven’t answered any questions posted to you, you’ve ignored dozens of facts, being incapable of refuting a single one, you’ve ignored half a dozen books, and 60+ more on my website destroying your ideas, you haven’t posted A SINGLE FACT opposing any of my assertions, and you think you are wielding the “Sword of Truth”? I’ve never used drugs or alcohol, I’d like to know about your use of drugs and alcohol, because you’d have to be high as a kite to think as you do. 100 years ago, people who thought like you were… Read more »
Edited comment. Hello, anonymous deluded one, Let me begin by saying I apologize if you are in Stanton because if so, I’d use a much different approach.

An insight has begun to form and crystallize in my mind now: If the following supposition is true; “Jealousy seeks to possess, whereas envy seeks to destroy.” Then it must follow– Ryan, being a bachelor, and yet who yearns for a wife, seeks to silence and punish all women because he lacks one. He cloaks his assertions and hostility behind a veil of biblical understanding, declaiming categorically that women are the scourge of Stanton, or any other church, and yet he is blind to the nature of his own motivations. My pity, love, and compassion for him now has increased… Read more »
Thank you, anonymous AI imitator. You are a master of projection. Being accused of envy and jealousy a few days ago, you turn around and fling it right back out. A determined charlatan, that’s for sure, “ Ryan, being a bachelor, and yet who yearns for a wife, seeks to silence and punish all women because he lacks one. ” If this is Arizona, this will be lie #10. I am happy married and happy single. I am impervious to strong desires either way. I prayed God would send me a beautiful, wise, submissive, industrious, and virtuous wife, and he… Read more »
There are several versions of Mein Kampf which one have you read? The original one in German is filled with anti semitic comments ( Which Franklin, who spoke and read fluent German had a copy of in the oval office) or the latter sanitized version which were in English and had the anti semitic writing removed?
Kevin’s website won’t post my response to you, so I posted it on my website. Frustrating that dozens of comments aren’t posted for no discernible reason. If you can’t read it, I’ll email you if you give your email.
Who is the ‘we’ you refereed to in your prayer? You’re fortunate to have had a wonderful experience being raised in Stanton but don’t assume everyone experienced what you did.
Are you aware of the child abuse practiced in Stanton? Maybe you and your siblings weren’t subjected to being tied to your beds to prevent masterbation but there are readers of this blog that witnessed or were subjected to that form of abuse. Speak for yourself.
The vast majority of kids in Stanton. The excessive overreaction to masturbation is precisely what would be expected in a church run by women and started by a woman. It is evil, always has been, and always will be. But contrast the Bible dealing with this Vice with Stanton’s. 1 Peter 2:9-11 9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [10] Which in time past were not a people, but are now… Read more »
Just finished listening to the late great university of Oklahoma professor J. Rufus Fears excellent overview of Euripides play “Medea“. This is from one of his great courses called “Life Lessons from the Great Books”. He also has many other wonderful lectures, including “Famous Romans“, And “Famous Greeks“. The lesson from this play is that terrible things happen when women are given power in nations, families, and in churches. Lori Alexander, the wonderful teacher, at “The Transformed Wife“, just wrote this excellent column, which dovetails nicely with that lesson. Gods description of a godly woman. God’s description of a godly… Read more »
I’m confused. You, a man, are being taught by Mrs.
Alexander and promoting her teaching to males who read this blog. How is that okay?
She teaches wives ought to obey their husbands and that women should not be speaking publicly in the churches. That is straight from the Bible, though it, unfortunately, has never been taught in Stanton. Women can speak during prayer requests, request songs, sing songs, teach ladies’ classes and children’s classes. That is the sphere women magnificently existed in for 1,960 years of Christian history, before Merie came on the scene, who, it must be confessed, was severely historically illiterate and turned nearly 2,000 years of Church obedience to God’s role for the women, right on its head. Men ought to… Read more »
Mrs. Alexander is speaking publicly on YouTube, on her website and in her book. Both women and men are reading her material and are being taught by her. Are her actions permissible by God because men can be taught by a woman as long as it’s outside of the church assembly?
She is, and she’s making it clear she’s speaking only to a female audience. She states that many times.
If men want to listen, to learn what a submissive woman should be, they are welcome to.
We learn from submissive women in the Bible too.
Big difference between women speaking to women and children on YouTube, and women speaking in a public assembly in church.
Ryan, I’ve got quite a few questions so I am going to write them all in this one post. 1. How should Merie have handled her numerous disagreements with the church? 2. Based on your answer to my question about Mrs. Alexander teaching the principles of Biblical womanhood in a public space where men and women have full access to her teaching, could a man attend a ladies’ Bible study to glean a female teacher’s wisdom? Let’s even say Mrs. Alexander teaches a ladies Bible class on Biblical womanhood in your congregation, could you sit in the class to listen… Read more »
Thank you for your questions; they are intriguing. 1) That is an excellent question, and it has puzzled me. Merie does have legitimate points. The paid preacher system obviously has major flaws. Not sure that the prosperity preacher system of today was as pronounced back then. What we find in the Bible is men who travel frequently were paid by the churches, which is not the practice of today’s church. That said, we must be fair. It’s a far different world. There was no income tax in the days of the New Testament, and they didn’t have women in the… Read more »
Still true today!
A reminder that the overlap between satanists, pedophiles, the aggressive champions of trans and LGB ideology and the most fiercely and proactively antiWhite folks, is near total.. and still rapidly converging.
Asha Logos
90% of Americans, and “Christian’s” have this problem.
Unfortunately, your shameful affiliation with the Proud Boys negates your arguments, since, as a member of this far-right, male-only organization that has gained attention and notoriety for its extremist views and involvement in violent incidents. There are several reasons why the Proud Boys are considered a problematic organization: Extremist Ideology: The Proud Boys espouse a white nationalist and Western chauvinist ideology that promotes the idea of male superiority and opposes multiculturalism. Their beliefs are rooted in divisive and exclusionary principles that run counter to the principles of equality, diversity, and inclusivity. Violence and Street Brawls: The Proud Boys have a… Read more »
You were doing pretty good there for awhile, you avoided your pathological lying, evil surmising, and jumping to conclusions. But an evil heart simply has to vent, and here you are again, after dozens of false accusations and lies, you fall right back into your old habits. After these lies, you’ll assure us how much you love people, and how you’re praying for us, and how we should just listen to your “rebukes”. Again, why don’t you keep your lying mouth shut, you treacherous serpent, and answer the questions posed to you, think about them, consider them, then respond. You… Read more »
All readers can learn from our wayward deceived pawn of the media, Arizona. He is demonstrating what happens when you think you are a servant of God, but are a poor researcher, and you don’t understand internet algorithms are designed to deceive. He is showing his newspapers, television, and radio are to be intensely distrusted, as they frequently lie, through omission or commission. If you aren’t careful, and you listen to the schools and media, you will be transformed into a hateful pawn of theirs, trained to carry out the satanic agenda of their owners. You will also become a… Read more »
I must express my deep concern and disappointment with your statement, as it is riddled with baseless assumptions, conspiracy theories, and a complete lack of evidence. Your sweeping generalizations and unfounded accusations are not only intellectually dishonest but also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and divisive rhetoric. Firstly, your claim that internet algorithms are designed to deceive is a gross oversimplification and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how algorithms function. While it is true that algorithms can influence the content we see online, they are not inherently deceptive. They are designed to personalize content based on user preferences and behavior, aiming to… Read more »
“ I must express my deep concern and disappointment with your statement, as it is riddled with baseless assumptions, conspiracy theories, and a complete lack of evidence.” Thank you, CNN, the feeling is mutual. You don’t cite any new facts, and you ignore a host of facts and books that the media has carefully hidden from you. Whether you have the courage to explore knowledge you’ve been trained to eschew will determine your destiny. With your current proud, haughty, and lazy attitude, you will never find the truth. I believed as you believed just five years ago, but I patiently… Read more »

Oppression: To load or burden with unreasonable impositions; to treat with unjust severity, rigor or hardship; as, to oppress a nation with taxes or contributions; to oppress one by compelling him to perform unreasonable service. It would be supposed that one who has been oppressed would learn not to oppress others. But, frequently, we see those who are oppressed turn around and oppress others. One way to oppress others is to constantly misrepresent what they do, to portray what they do in the worst light, to fault find, to lie about them, and to search their life for wrongdoing to… Read more »
Equality and human rights: In modern society, gender equality is widely recognized as a fundamental human right. It means that all individuals, regardless of gender, should have equal opportunities and rights, including access to education and employment. Abilities and qualifications: A person’s ability to teach should be based on their qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience, rather than their gender. Competence in a subject matter and effective teaching methods are more important factors in determining someone’s suitability as an educator. Benefits of diverse perspectives: Having a diverse range of teachers, including both men and women, can enrich the learning experience for… Read more »
Thank you for that leftist communist drivel, Arizona. You certainly are dedicated to your lies and fairytales. This is the feminist communist ideology designed to turn America into a weak, androgynous, supine, and helpless nation. Only the simple and corrupt are deceived by it. And you’ve been earnestly working to prove to everyone on here your naïveté and corruption for the last five years. It appears out of desperation, you’re lying having been so thoroughly exposed, you’ve resorted to an AI machine to help you. You should have been banned from this site long ago, and if Kevin was doing… Read more »
Ryan, I grow weary of your baseless accusations and strident mockery. When flummoxed and check-mated, YOU are the one who lies, makes false accusations, and casts aspersions on your perceived “enemies,” such as anyone on this site who disagrees with you or dares to call you out on your rabid antisemitism and lunatic fringe conspiracy theory blather. And DS committed Food Stamp fraud while in Arizona, by the way. Good day, comrade.
Good, my accusations aren’t baseless, your constant lying is an affront to every righteous person, and God and other righteous people are fed up with it. You can take your rodeo somewhere else, it isn’t wanted anywhere good people are. I see you are committing lie #12, libeling DS as you do practically everyone you come into contact with. After all your lies on here, I don’t believe a word you say. “flummoxed and check-mated.” Your lying is definitely frustrating, lying always is, and you’ve committed lie #13, saying I’m the one lying when not one thing I’ve said on… Read more »
Hey, Mr. Wizard, seeds don’t “die,” they germinate. You must resist the urge to conflate poetic imagery with scientific fact. However, as one with no formal education, my confidence isn’t high that you will be able to do so. Metaphors, parables, and analogies escape you, and you filter everything through a lens of hyper-literalism. You fear and condemn that which you don’t understand. Unable to comprehend the deeper meaning and wisdom of what you read, you embark reflexively upon jeremiads of damnation and judgement. But I forgive you. And together, it is my hope that we can reconcile our polarized… Read more »
Kevin’s Website once again malfunctions. Won’t post my comment. It’s on my website.
Too bad his website doesn’t do it’s job. If it had all of Arizona’s lies and delusions would’ve been banned long ago. Truly a disgrace.
You can find it under, “ Response to a deceived and lying college graduate fraud from Arizona”
I am asking for a show of hands by clicking the plus sign at the end of this post if you want Ryan to be removed from this site. Ryan please take your never-ending and off topic posting elsewhere. If anyone wants to read all of his weird opinions please send him your contact information so we don’t have to be subjected to this nonsense.
Sorry, it’s July 4th, and you never learned basic history of America. The less people know, the easier it is for tyrants like you to silence truths you don’t like. “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” First Amendment The right to speak was given by God, though it wasn’t intended for lying, willful ignorance, or those who try to silence… Read more »
I, for one, do not want Mr. Vallejo removed from the blog as he is more entertaining than any episode of the Jerry Springer show! Let’s examine equity and the teaching of “how much of your money is for the brethren?” The original teaching came from one poor evangelist against another rich evangelist, the rich evangelist worked as a construction manager and got a 25k bonus for completing a job while the salary of the poor evangelist at the time was 20k a year and so it has been said that the rich evangelist could, with his bonus alone support… Read more »
Thank you for that, Arizona, though Free speech is not subject to any one’s approval or disapproval, as long as it avoids lying, gossip, profanity, obscenity, vulgarity, and racial slurs. It was designed for righteous, wise, and virtuous people, not for people who have no self control. If all 8 billion humans on earth don’t like what any human has to say, then they don’t have to listen to it, but they cannot interfere with the human’s right to say it. “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to… Read more »
How did DS commit food stamp fraud?
None of your business, you gossipy busybody.
You overlook Arizona’s many lies to try to gather dirt on someone you dislike.
No wonder you want me silenced.
Ha gossipy busybody fits as part of a description of members of the SCOC also known as members of Merie Weiss Cult.
Well, when women have been trained to leave their roles by the sadly misguided Merie, what can we expect? Men’s weakness is frequently lust, women’s weakness, as they adore communication and relationships, is gossip. It can easily be fixed, but it will be difficult to overcome nearly a century of feminist brainwashing. Women have a lot of wisdom, but if God wanted them judging church business and church decisions, he would have made it very clear. Instead, he twice commanded that women were to be silent in the churches, and there are no exceptions. Women can ask prayers, sing, and… Read more »
It wasn’t just the women. Men were guilty as well. Snake Martin the preacher in Portland was on top of the leader board with being a gossipy busybody. The cult teaches against it yet are guilty of it. Hypocrites.
To be fair to him and every man in Stanton, every man who entered Stanton was under a woman’s jurisdiction. Not sure of all the particulars of your differences with him, but I do know he’s a devoted husband, dedicated father, committed business owner, and a righteous man. We definitely differ on politics and a woman’s role, but that’s to be expected, and I thought the exact same way as all the men in Stanton do towards politics and women’s roles just 15 years ago. However, in an age where 90% plus of men are engaged in one or more… Read more »
The time I spent with Snake Martin from 1997-2017 and 2009-2015 helping him with preaching responsibilities come to find out as a non member of the cult. Non of the above of your perception of him applied. A charmer for sure and some how in the good graces with the cults top “leadership”. I know too much about him and what had taken place with the Portland congregation not only from what I saw and heard but also from many sources. Low praise at best he deserves. You know my email address. I can explain in detail when I’m able… Read more »
Mr. Crumb peddler from Arizona never alleged that DS had committed food stamp fraud that was someone else on this blog. I objected to his demanding the Phoenix congregation to give an extra 2500.00 over and above what the evangelist had asked for; regarding a vehicle purchase of 3500.00 saying that we should give the full amount because “we can” and the resulting evangelist going soft on the sins in the Phoenix congregation. The evangelist needs to be financially supported, and 3500.00 is a reasonable amount to ask for but limits should be set that no one should accept more… Read more »
If anyone would like to understand how dangerous and damaging the schools and colleges are, simply review our friend Arizona’s remarks from the last five years. Full of lies, misunderstandings, ignorance, envy, pride, and virtually every one of the seven deadly sins. He doesn’t realize he was trained to be a victim. The reason he has failed so much in life, and will continue to do so is because he’s been trained all his life, “White People” are the problem, and of course, the church, and anyone else who disagrees with the silly ideas he was indoctrinated with. We all… Read more »
On the metaphorical piano, Ryan Messano plays only one note…over and over. And. Over. And. Over. You get the point. His “Broken Record” technique might be amusing, if it weren’t so tiresome. He seems to believe (or perhaps has a more craven motive) that if he continues to repeat his opinions ad infinitum, they will become true, or be regarded as true, through some magical alchemy or erroneous calculus. By calling his opponents liars, he seeks to stop the conversation or dialogue, and thus place himself in the position as the final arbiter of truth. Truly a “One-Trick Pony.” His… Read more »
Yes, you are right and wrong. I do play one note, it’s called truth, and it grates on the ears of liars like you. What’s incredibly interesting to you is your Google searches, your false prophets in the media, and your college degree indoctrination. That’s what catches your easily deceived attention. You kick up a massive protest over the truth that gives you cognitive dissonance. Still doing it after years; it takes a long time to overcome a lifetime of indoctrination. But be of good cheer; your example is teaching hundreds of others. You keep attacking my opinions when you… Read more »
Well said Anonymous, I couldnt agree more. I cringe as I know his reply to your criticism of him will be one note, poorly played, irrational, mean spirited, and never ceasing. I’m interested in rereading some of Kevin’s blog posts that were written 10 years ago and discussing some of those topics.
Thank you, Striped Fish; I empathize with any preacher who had to deal with Arizona. What a nightmare. A serial liar who evil surmises, murmurs, gossips, and has few moral standards to speak of but carefully tries to find others’ weaknesses. Frustrating to deal with a liar who refuses to research, answer questions, or tell the truth, but if I don’t address him, he runs wild on here, as Kevin is unfortunately asleep at the wheel and is allowing Arizona to run roughshod making it much more complicated than it needs to be. Sad, because if Arizona would just listen,… Read more »
You are sadly mistaken if you thought I was adressing you Ryan. Don’t think for a minute my comment was meant for you. I was agreeing with the person you call Arizona after he/she described your ridiculous overthrow of this comment section as a metaphorical one note piano. This is Kevin’s blog, not Ryan’s blog. Fill your own blog with your ideals until your heart is content. Please be aware, your ideals may have become your idols. Something to think about.
I’m not here for the praise of ahistorical types. I expect your massive opposition. Your criticism of me, “ one note, poorly played, irrational, mean spirited, and never ceasing,” correctly applies to Arizona, but your feelings have overwhelmed your reason, so you use these words you don’t understand against me. Who knows, you could be Arizona, he’s one massive liar, no one knows who’s who on here. Besides, who are you and what have you ever done that anyone should value your opinion? We clearly see you don’t understand words you use and use them carelessly. People like you and… Read more »
I agree why stay anonymous. What do you fear? Let it be known who stands against them. Hopefully the brain washing that it’s a sin to read this blog isn’t the cause of the many anonymous.
Craig, your withdrawal, after being considered a nonmember, for the crime of writing on this blog, gives me a reason to write anonymously.
It’s a hideous abuse of power for leaders to make up rules and judgements in order to silence people and potentially destroy families.
Okay, I understand and respect that answer. Yes you did nail it on the head, silence people and destroy families which is exactly what they do.
Anonymous protects the children from prosecution for the fathers debates. Also realize that this is a public blog which anyone can read and then be offended and go and search out any poster for retribution. There are many crazies in this world, one must always be careful.
I understand your position.
The wicked always are fearful.
Lying Arizona and his supporters have a lot to be afraid of.
Ryan, the door was opened last year at the annual meeting to discuss women’s roles in congregational assemblies. Their conclusion was that the way the understanding of the role of women has been in the past is the way it will remain. From my understanding you were recently withdrawn from for heresy for your writings on Kevin’s blog, even though you did so anonymously.
