He said he refuses to sue the body of Christ but bring the Watchtower on. last and in between it was always what does the bible say about that and one then was expected to go by what the bible said, not by what one just thought for themselves. See, I never heard this dont trust your conscience thing until I started researching here. And yet these false teachers would try to claim that the victims later problems are to be blamed on bitterness and unwillingness to forgive.

How are people supposed to live believing they cannot trust themselves on basic things like this? it is almost impossible for a cult situation to develop where submitting to authority is man-dated. Once again, the "secular" world does a "better" job than the church! the give-away to the phonies is they shut down the minute saving children costs something or asks something from them; life is supposedly precious to all Christian people from conception to natural death; but that is not what the world sees among Christians, no; I am well aware that if any situations arise, whether camper to camper or staff to camper, its anybodys guess if any responsible counselor will be notified, if a camper will be believed, if a parent is informed, even if a higher up staff member is informed, much less law enforcement. Ill tell you what. fear & insecurity, need and desire for money, power, & significance is behind it all. Satan is powerful to produce every kind of vice, greed and scandal in those who are deceived.

(we were considering membership)What church tells a almost grown kid that they cant have a cell phone in this day and age of sexual abuse.I never allowed my kids to attend sleepovers and the one time I felt reasonably safe about it(meaning sister was really mature and sibling was 15 and other friends older kids would look out for each other)my distrustful nature is proven right.I have seen and heard of so much wrong in the church in my lifetime I am a DONE,I still go to church (will not tithe again,I paid my part)but I really dont care anymore.!!!

Is Fellowship Memphisan unsafe church foradults and children? This modified form of ignorance is found in people who, if confronted with certain truths realize that they have to accept them and thereby acknowledge evil, and that scares them. Amen, and even Penn State cleaned house when it blew up But not a Christain organization Instead, lets further tear fiwn the victims to defefend ourselves Yup, they really are modeling Christ.. On this issue there has to be zero tolerance. If you ARE a victim in a Christian org he has made it clear he does not help you. He works to protect churches. Please stay on this case. Like Karen Hinckley at Villiage. But I can easily see how stuff could happen and I guess stuff could have been going on I didnt see. I dont get how anyone could with a shred of decency or understand of morality could think its okay to keep this man on the staff. :o). We should never forget that we live in the middle of a spiritual war where there are no cease fires. And if not dealt with properly their credibility ruined forever. Not everything labeled church is promoting the Truth. No wonder there are so many problems. Please do not make the mistake of assuming that either all Christian pastors are good or that they all are evil. Those men get promised to be allowed to control, which is so opposite the example of Jesus. I think churches should be much quicker to fire staff who make reckless negligent decisions, like fellowship did though. Due to previous friendships and employment, there was supposedly aconnection between Fellowship Memphis and some of the folks at Kanakuk. He ends up protecting a non profit institution that he thinks is automatically the body of Christ yet has no problem suing JWs .and did I understand the Catholic Church?

Churches "Stop knocking yourselves out to distance yourself and let the buck fall at your feet where it belongs.". That is soooooo Christ-like. If we practice Jesus teaching, then we will judge leaders and their churches by what is actually produced. We are instructed to expose the evil that lies in the shadows. It is a way of thinking from the authoritarian control to dumbing down or hiding heinous sin and selling cheap grace for the most evil of evils. Thank you! Yes. Any posting trying to take down his Social Media Celebrity Image gets taken down and replaced by another puff piece within days puff pieces whose style and phrasing indicate he personally wrote them. Just remember the side effect like Muslims after 9/11, Christians will circle the wagons against PERSECUTION!!!!! You are brave. I see Bob Jones listed as a client. Pattersons group threw out some critically-needed controls on their own power when they attacked (or allowed attack on) diversity and soul competency, I think. I cant answer for Okrapod, but likely the sacrament is reserved means that the Real Presence is within the sanctuary. This just says it all. IMO talking about conscience does indeed get close to reason and experience, except I dont think that is a bad thing. And when stuff comes out most immediately jump to defend.

I hope you realize I am speaking of cover ups, hiring known abusers, etc. I can only conclude that they simple dont care whether anyone is abused in that church. They honestly believe the leaders have the answers. If you look at the polity in many of these places the elders are yes men or paid staff! I know many, many people who send their kids to Kanakuk year after year. Its not love; not when its MANdated by misogynists, no. I dont even know that it wasnt dismissed. But that was long before they invented duct tape and bolt cutters. Again, never mind the theology behind that idea and the opposition to that idea. There is a false Church today in this world.

We will never stop being sorry for the pain inflicted on victims. The only bad part: I missed the Oak Ridge boys by a week. man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. He was merely a volunteer from the seminary.

Why isnt this the case where such things have been found to go on so long with so many in positions of leadership knowing? When we were attending a church that became part of Harvest Bible Chapel our kids went to a weekend youth camp.The leadership requested no cell phones allowed.Since my daughter went along and she was almost 18 we let the younger sibling go also with the stipulation that they were to keep the cell phone for emergencies only(meaning if the younger handfull acted up,we could intervene ) The handfull took the phone out and played games on it and got in trouble with a bunch of other kids.We all got a good smack down in that weeks sermon,even to the point of questioning our Christianity.At that point I knew that I didnt want to be apart of that church. A Dallas man is suing Kanakuk Ministries and its former camp director Pete Newman for negligence, fraud and emotional harm related to sexual abuse. And Im going to point out that my presence on the sidewalk outside Mark Driscolls holy temple could be seen as extremely disturbing to the people inside. The Fanatic Persecutor is Anti in the sense of being in direct opposition to, and comes from the Outside. As always, other discussions on the Open Discussion thread. God is honored by Mireles work. He is victim prevention. Education the parishioners that sometimes your pastor is not your friend, does not care about your children? I wish to thank again all of those who have websites and our choosing to shed light on these church scandals. Women and children are obviously not part of the body. This is exactly what we were taught. In the past they were allowed to take their cell phones but not have them out during the day. There is a false Church today in this world.

It is still hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that he is capable of the heinous acts that he committed, and would do that kind of damage to these boys. What is the Christian formation for the development of moral conscience within the neo-Cal theology??? ", "It was just things that are not normal," Hoffpauir said.
