Some of us were never born to be ‘planted’ anywhere except where we personally and intrinsically need to be. To hand that re...

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...

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...

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?

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,...
