The cow chewing the Hay will be the Overseer of BCF. The Baker diligently baking substitute loaves to replace Holy Communion might be Star Messenger of the Lampstand Church. The Luke-warm guy might be the Second Leader of the Modern Apostolic Administration, and finally... Richie the Jungle Book Sn...

Food for thought: The succession crisis in the Latter Day Saint movement occurred after the killing of the movement's founder, Joseph Smith, on June 27, 1844. For roughly six months after Smith's death, several people competed to take over his role, the leading contenders being Sidney Rigdon, Brigha...

I know that ironically the presbytery doesn’t reliably attend the essential agave meal (morning tea) or the Wednesday House-to-house meetings. They should be amongst the congregation but increasingly set themselves apart and over them. For example the presbytery are rostered for ‘take heed to yours...

refer back to Paul Kovak's 6 point note re MCF and the treatment he received. Nah. Post a link or it didn’t happen. I don’t have time to do all that digging.

You don’t need to do anything illegal or immoral. It sounds like simply asking a presbyter to clarify the latest “Word” s...

I reject the self-proclaimed presbytery’s lies and false accusations. They can keep their curses to themselves too because I don’t accept those either. The formula is getting old: Find the worst examples of godlessness or evil in the Bible then attribute those qualities to people that leave the cult...

❤️‍🩹 What a wonder of grace it is when fierce persecutors are converted, for then the wolf lives with the lamb, and men of cruel, ungovernable dispositions become gentle and teachable. This is something that I can’t handle yet. Knowing that at some point I’ll have to hang out with former abusers as ...
