COG people need a source where they can learn the <i>plain truth</i>, the <i>real truth</i>, and the <i>bad news</i> about such things as the malicious false prophets and their abusive imposter cults. COG people should not be totally abandoned and left to learn everything on their own the long, hard, expensive (and sometimes fatal) way.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-90363358727812248202017-03-12T19:06:04.306-07:002017-03-12T19:06:04.306-07:00If the government were to intervene, we've see...If the government were to intervene, we've seen how that goes from the receivership crisis. However, in the age of splinters, intervention might cause the other ACOG groups to rally to their defense, or it could make them run scared as they do if a couple of eggs are thrown at cars during the feast. <br /><br />If the surrounding Christian community tries to show support during any sort of crisis, these people actually complain about their crosses! <br /><br />I really don't think there is much of any hope. These tyrants will do as they please, and they'll get away with it. The best we can hope for is that as many people leave as possible over the normal little hurts. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-86362190819185811782017-03-12T18:46:23.613-07:002017-03-12T18:46:23.613-07:00The problem is that the local Wadsworth newspapers...The problem is that the local Wadsworth newspapers and religion reporter are in bed with Dave because he has brought improvements and money to the area.
