Re: Water Baptism at the Christian Fellowship

I don't know the answer, but given the pdf by RK posted recently where he talks about the lampstand church, it would not surprise me if they passesd baptism over as being too sacramental and replaced it with a pledge of loyalty to the star messenger. Thank you guest, that gave me a wonderful giggle...

Re: ongoing rejection

My heart goes out to Breakfree, Dexter, Helen and others who’re suffering from rejection. These wounds will never go away. I am working towards “a healing that is not about getting rid of the pain, but a healing which is the capacity to hold pain” - Gabor Mate. ………… The Serenity Prayer is helpful i...

Re: Trauma:How can this be of God?

Interesting to see a Supreme Court judge in Tasmania this week charged with ‘emotional abuse’ (and assault). If I was running a cult I’d start getting nervous.

Sad news for those affected by loss of friendship and community. Very difficult for the innocent.

Re: A Call to Pray

Greetings guest,

I’m very happy to light some incense and direct some energy towards this very heartfelt goal. What’s the window of prayer, something like somewhere in the 9-12 realm?

Take care,

Bagel

Re: More reports of abuse in the Christian faith

Have been looking at a few more YT channels that discuss escapes from cultish organisations. Participants have often said, 'I had no idea I was in a cult, until I left'. And some of the religions/cults are quite extreme, but similar themes arise, people are controlled either physically, emotionally,...

Re: Paul Kovak's MCF Blog

Hi Bagel, could you please clarify the following: For some, it’s a matter of finding a ‘church’ that suits them better. For others, it’s a choice to give up the Kool-Aid altogether. So my words are for those who don’t want to simply change which bar they are drinking at, but who want to actually gi...
