Using certain scriptures out of context to tell people how awful they are on a regular basis results in compliance -for a while but eventually people will be freed from this spiritual bondage. Perfect love casts out fear. The fruits of the spirit are love joy peace This is what we can have through unity with god. When you're dominated by a minister or anyone you're cutting yourself off from having a proper understanding of and relationship with God. Don't be afraid. Step out of the prison and be free. Study the bible for yourself. Let god show you what's in there. Love the lord your god with all your heart soul and mind not with someone else's heart soul and mind. It's just not going to work. I feel sorry for people in the corporate cogs and some are worse than others. We all need to be free of spiritual domination Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398552429633664308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-10522877290955559282018-04-16T15:30:32.684-07:002018-04-16T15:30:32.684-07:00CONNIE -

They try to raise the ruins of a veil that Jesus Christ HIMSELF TORE UP!!! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-7419811592615889492018-04-16T07:23:56.800-07:002018-04-16T07:23:56.800-07:00A concept that many in the COGs do not understand ...A concept that many in the COGs do not understand is that the "veil was torn" when Jesus died. You now have direct access to God , not through some kind of "priestly system". Christ is the Priest! <br /><br />Yet, ever since, there have been men trying to be interlopers between God and you. All claiming some type of "franchise agreement" that supposedly God gave them to charge you a royalty fee for access to God. All claiming that they are somehow "more important" to God than you and that God gave them "authority over you". <br /><br />Great line from the Priest in the football movie "Rudy", while counseling Rudy about what to do in the future. He said , "Rudy, if there is one thing I have learned in being a Priest in my 35 years of doing this, ... is that there indeed is a God, and IM NOT IT!" <br /><br />There indeed is a God, but there is NO ONE who is his designated authority on Earth. You are given the gift of the Holy Spirit which is to comfort you, and guide you in all things. Use it! ... and stop looking for human crutches , who will pimp you, use you, mislead you, and then toss you out once you are not useful to them anymore.

As an ACOG example, when Kevin Denee left RCG, the control his father in law had over him was over. <br /><br />One of my coaches in high school once told us, “Guys, nobody can make you do anything! It’s just that sometimes they can make it difficult for you if you don’t go along”.<br /><br />The biggest factor involving control in Armstrongism is that they leverage you mentally and spiritually. In order to become free and clear, you need to prove to yourself that the stuff which they use to leverage you is bogus. After that, it becomes easy.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
