WINGS for Truth 
If the pokes in God’s “only true way” need 36 pages of CSA guidelines, what do the people of “the world” need? Good Lord.
I’d say the same 36 pages. We’re all human – even 1/12th of the disciples turned out to be evil – professing to be Godly does not change human nature or make the devil go away. There’s over 910 confirmed perps identified so far in this relatively small fellowship. All humans error. Let’s set-up structures and practices to help people, to protect people – isn’t that the Christian thing to do?
The workers who shuffled the perps, covered-up, resisted change, and been unrepentant have erred in a most horrid way. There has been no accountability. The cost of even one case of abuse is worth this. Plus, see the section on expected adult behavior (pgs 22-25) – that’s really good stuff, what could be wrong with that? The ministry needs to completely, 180 degrees flip – from being opaque, defensive, insular, obstinate, and perp-centric to being transparent, inviting, open, repentant, and victim-centric & safety-centric.
What the WA-NID-AK Guidelines Team developed, that the Olympia Convention Groups implements, is an outstanding work product by well-hearted, trained professionals. Why, oh why, now implement this broadly.
Hats off to the Olympia Convention Grounds.
Steve K : Yes; Hats off to the O C G???: The group of ‘overseers’ realize if the O C G had closed convention: That half of Seattle would also be gone as an “income”. SO, the overseers dodged the BIG ‘bullet’ and are comfortable again with the “continue as usual”!!! and are back to their well known tricks THAT they have fine-tuned. Just as we thought O C G had found an ultimatum they had the basis to enforce and thereby bring some semblance of concern for victims and protecting against future victims: we are again misled. Thus allowing the status-quo to continue and the “cash cow” to reward THAT life of “DECEIT”!
Weird, almost paranoid comment IMO. Can’t people think for themselves anymore?
Steve K. : Wow! It took us all night for your “Phrase” ‘outstanding work product by well-hearted, trained professionals’ to sink-in! IS a short term for such: “Defense Lawyers” ? to protect the “owners”? The owners, surely Steve; need protecting from unprincipled twisted men – who sure seem to be protected. The “owners” try to do all they can to protect the innocent! Who protects the OWNERS? ((The overseers do NOT!)) And Steve, Jesus, in his own ‘words’ explains: he knew who and what Judas was: John 6:66 – :71. BUT ‘prophecy’ concerning Jesus must be fulfilled! As Jesus writes in Luke 24:44 – :45. All prophecy concerning Jesus was fulfilled!
The well-trained professionals are not “defense lawyers”, they are actually the well-trained professionals who are the WA-NID-AK Guidelines Team, see: https://www.wanidakag.com/guidelines-safety-team
I’d be happy to chat with you real-time, if you’d like to continue the conversation. My email is: sdkloos@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Thanks Steve; for the correction. Even tho I do feel the Owners do need protection from ‘law suits’; We are grateful that people with experience in the ‘trenches’ of reality and exposure who have the benefit of education to help understand the unthinkable-twisted humans and what is proven treatment for them; even if incarcerated. They have proven they cannot be allowed self-control in any form! Thank you each for all the hard work and resulting Guidelines to protect members before and after assaults has been accepted as valid, important and valuable. We have read and appreciate their ability to understand reality and a common-sense approach to protect, investigate, decide the course of action; AND enfold the victims while demanding the perpetrators be held accountable to the full extent of the Law. And even beyond what the Law can do; demanding the criminals are not allowed to ever be given the opportunity to ever RUIN the life of an innocent child OR adult, again. Thank you: Guidelines Team!
Thank you for this – appreciated. The backstory on this, in my view, is:
And hats off to all that are fighting the good fight to protect basic human rights and dignity, to identify and remove the bad actors, to hold those responsible accountable, to bring necessary change, to not be silenced, and to show love, compassion, and support for the survivors (which is what Christ would do). Truth is marching on.
Well said.
Imagine attending a “church” convention where they have to post signs informing people of an FBI investigation. Why people are still attending the worker church? If you all leave, the workers lose all their power. It’s been over a year since DB, yet so many are fearful or too prideful to leave the anti-Christ doctrine of “The Truth.” Take your loved ones and run as fast and far as you can from the 2x2s.
we’re going to even more meetings, gospel meetings and conventions. And bringing people with us. People who are fully aware of the current situation. It’s wonderful!
in bocca al lupo
Habla Ingles, por favor…..
“good luck”
Break a leg 😂
In bocca al lupo is actually a useful phrase to know, and especially apt in this situation.
It’s Italian (not Spanish, like Junior’s riposte) and taken literally it means “into the wolf’s mouth”. It’s used something like “break a leg” in English, to wish people luck when they’re about to perform, for example, or to undertake a scary or challenging or dangerous activity.
And it’s extra appropriate in this situation because of the allusion to a wolf, which is one of the terms used in the Bible to refer to false prophets.
Crepi!
what’s wonderful about going to more meetings with perv/pred and workers that verbally abuse others who disagree with all what’s going on in this fellowship
I think it was meant to be “tongue in cheek” humorous? Mebbe not entirely, tho, to peeps suffering from trauma.
It’s wonderful to bring people to an environment where pedophiles are free to prey on their children?!
…maybe an apprapo vision in the night to continue this discussion. One of numerous.
It would take too many words to illustrate the one properly….so I will do my best to shorten my story for short readers.
The stunt of big strong men that can run fast enough to keep up with the plane, a stunt that has worked well in the past, and baffled me how they did it without parachutes, goes terribly wrong when they try it again. There were cords/strings attached to them I had not seen before.
Everyone seemed to be grabbing their phones to take a picture of the tragedy. A stunt gone terribly wrong. I hollered for someone to call 911. I grabbed my own phone thinking I would call because no one else seemed to be, with a little thought that I would capture a photo also. But my phone was a fake. Someone had switched it out, me unaware. I then looked up and just watched bodies falling lifeless through the branches of a tall tree. End of story? Maybe! But not likely.
Or is it only high drama of a dreamer? Who knows for sure? I just don’t see a curtain call happening for the stuntmen. Luck has its own ways and times.
I cannot tell you! Was this the church? Or the nations of man? I did not get a count. But there was about 10 of them. But maybe the number means nothing.
And before I go (non-readers can switch off if they want) and on a different topic, does anyone want to meditate for a while on the old saying we all had when we decided we did not really want to help someone much less fortunate. The old saying that goes something like this – “God helps those that help themselves”. Did we say it to an unknown god? What exactly might we have been wanting to help ourselves to? Outta the one side of our mouth we put great flourish on God’s grace, then outta the other side of our mouth we poo-poohed it for our own benefit. I drowned in that bucket most of my life also. There will be a price paid for taking the bucket off our head. The price might be helping someone that as yet cannot help themselves. The friend’s importunity story was just another good story to us. And someone else’s story of misfortune need not be applied to ourselves we say. When we point and say ‘self inflicted’, we may not understand what is being written in our own story.
I find it is a very tough thing to hold out hope to all men and women. But somebody did. And He paid a price for it. It seems to be foreign to man’s thinking right now to be asking for help from across the isle. For whatever reason, the isle seems to be a great gulf fixed. But all it really is is a line. Who has the balls in our generation to walk it? Trying to grow some seeds myself. A person might think it would be easy to walk there – with the wind blowing from both directions. Everyone will have their point of view of where truth resides. Forty and two. An unknown in the winds of religious business affairs on the one hand, and an understood frightening thing on their other. Where are those two olive trees when we need them? But the stage is being set for the crowds to chant – these two olive trees are not true. Into the mouths of wolves they will go. The final act of Les Miserables.
If people want help, speak up and ask a friend that has the wherewithal. They can refuse if they want. You will know whether they are a friend of not. Otherwise, you make the old saying true for your own life.
I will hit post, before my fingers start to itch and I press delete. Beyond the pleasing my ‘friends’ thingy. Hard enough finding the Friend within. Fiend or friend? Arrr Billy! They do look and sound the same. There might be more to it than just the hairstyle.
….the hairstyle….and the ‘comforting’ words as they turn their back and walk away. Gotta get back to the campaign trail of religious business affairs. It’s where it’s all at. Making the 2×2 religion great again might be a stretch. Bully for them that will try though. The stock market of ‘good’ graces meanwhile thanking God in our minds for the levity he provided under the covers might have had its day of ascension. For some reason….for some unknown reason…the primary objective seems not at all to bring the captives home. And there is more trouble brewing in Ai.
Chose your friends wisely friends. Because you might be in bed with them a long time. Consider the cost. Are you feeding the machinery of high stakes, or conversely, is love and truth feeding you?
If anyone cares, look at what was said in the Knesset yesterday (or day before?) by the opposition. The same is being said today in the temple built on the mount of the 2×2 religion by the opposition of/to the ruling party in the temple. The temple made with man’s hands and hearts. But the ruling pointy fingers of both hands are stuck in their ears and their tongue is stuck out. The tongue may have to be retracted in order to gnaw it, and the pointy fingers will be removed from their ears so they can cross their fingers on both hands. Rots of ruck friends; if that is what you are in to. To those that put no value on understanding the he goat’s dialect…never mind. No big deal! Maybe. Who exactly might your true friends in ‘Israel’ be? Not a comfortable question. And those hankering for no discomfort right now? They will turn their back and walk away from the discomfort to return to their vomit. Everyone loves it they say! The people even say so. To hell with the captives they say! We’ve got other promises to pursue for ‘our’ people. The faith in the land…is in the land. Just need to conquer the dust under our boots. We will worry about the dust ‘in’ our boots another day.
….the cocks are crowing at dusk friends. There is something wrong, and something ominous about this picture. But please paint the picture however you want to friends using the brushes of your life, and the colors that suit your eye – and let someone else direct your hand if you desire to use another’s talent to guide it. There is maybe one type of person or a little detail that may not have been mentioned in the story of talents. The one where we bury our own talent in favor of sluggardly accepting someone else’s ‘talent’ to paint our own picture of what the truth for our own life is. I spent most of my life thinking someone else had the keenness of understanding and awareness of spirit to arrange the pixels in the proper fashion on my own canvas.
I pity those that are not willing to read the writing. The writing on the subway walls and the tenement halls. You may think the subway trains of all religious enterprise would surface one day in the bright noonday light of the promised land, or you may think your landlord, the owner of your earthly habitation would one day move you into his mansions. And you may think that someone else feeding you ‘truth’ from their hand, either their right or their left, would somehow one day absolve you of using your own talent given, and the ambition proffered, to get to your own understanding of where Truth resides. We dig in the bible for ‘God’s Will’ for our own lives. Now think about this picture for about 42 milliseconds or more. Religious enterprise of all stripes and the business of corralling the Shepherd’s Flock for the benefit of ‘feeding’ them for their own ‘good’ pleasure might just be some abstract art that we admired because it peeked some fancy taste within us. And because we did not want to break a sweat in digging, we listened to the ones holding the book up in their right hand, and accepted their admonishment; “let me feed you truth from this book!” They declare, “Herein is God’s Will for your life”. It may have been as honey on their tongue, and it was sweet to our own bellies…but we had to keep going back for more Tylenol to quell the ache in our foreheads. For sure – the commandments therein were good. There has been a benefit to society in those commandments that we read. But having another man or woman convince us that God’s Will for our life is to be found in those pages written by another man? I am here to tell you and confuse you some more. Yes they are hidden there. But not where the masses are looking. The rulers of the temples of all man’s religious rustling are not pointing them out – and for very good reason. They either do not see the writing themselves, or they have a devious means about them. They want not that the tenants of the temple know anything more then ‘their’ will for your lives. The problem with coverups in the church goes back a long way. And it predates Willy Irvine when he walked the shores of Galilee. And people think I am joking. Whatever. Amusing I am sure. But not joking.
Paint your picture however someone told you to paint it. Abstract truth might have it’s appeal. But the interesting part about the artwork of abstract truth? There is often a hidden message in it. Oh the philosophies of art! I had no idea that there was enough meat and potatoes in the subject to write a book about it. The other day having a little visit in my neighbors gazebo, and he proved me wrong. Oh I love it so, when someone proves me wrong. Some more light shines through when a hole is poked in the tunnel vision of my own canvas. And it allows me to get glimpses of the writing on the subway walls. I have moved out of the apartment block of religious business habitation. I had read some ominous writing on the walls therein. Some tenant had moved out before me. An engineer that knew something about foundations did some abstract writing on the wall. The landlord either didn’t read the handiwork, or didn’t understand it and cast it off as graffiti. But gotta get around to painting these walls one day! Cover up this unsightly graffiti. For some reason people are moving out. I admit, the graffiti is a bit of an eyesore. Nothing a coating of paint won’t fix.
Some in the meeting house I go to I can tell have read a part of the writing also. But for some reason, either the landlord is unscrewing some light bulbs in his tenant block to save on hydro, or they are just burning out and he is too cheap to replace them. Hooray for headlamps so you can find your way out and go to work. Keep your eyes peeled in the subway on the way to work. Someone might have written something there for your benefit. Not the time friends to catch another 40 winks. But whatever. Snooze if you chose. There is always that risk of missing your stop. It’s always good to ride with a friend that does not sleep nor slumber. Get the picture?
