Why Do You Stay?

 Why do you stay when the door doesn’t have a lock?

Why do you stay when your worth and value and identity comes from God alone?

Why do you stay when you have a hymn book that doesn’t have Christmas Carols that tell the real gospel story?

Why do you stay when this hymnbook radically purged hymns that spoke of Jesus’ blood, grace, and faith over works? 


Why do you stay when this hymnbook is minus the old and great, tried and true hymns like Holy, Holy, Holy, In Christ Alone, Great is Thy Faithfulness and the all time greatest hymn ever - Amazing Grace which are all in Creative Commons? 


Why do you stay when meeting up with other Christians is frowned upon? 


Why do you stay when reading other traditional great Christian literature, study helps, other translations to help one understand scripture is forbidden? 


Why do you stay when you can’t answer any questions that a Christian friend asks you about your fellowship other than the ministry in the home and the homeless ministry? 


Why do you stay when you don’t pray with and for people you fellowship with? 


Why do you stay when no spiritual conversations or discussions can be had? 


Why do you stay when your meeting life and your school/career/neighbor/citizen life doesn’t match with what you say and how you act around the friends/meeting? 


Why do you stay when your vocabulary is one way around the friends and another around outsiders - living split? 


Why do you stay when you view anyone outside this exclusive fellowship as lost and worldly? 


Why do you stay when mainstream pastors and teachers are considered wolf in sheep’s clothing and the ministers of the fellowship have actually proven they are such? 


Why do you stay when losing your place, your ‘priviledge’, your meeting and your reputation is more important than following Jesus?

Why do you stay when the system which is built upon lies and deception is the actual wolf? 


Why do you stay when the belief system that you have always believed in isn’t what you thought it was and never was? 


Why do you stay when there is a flood coming and an ark is available? 


Why do you stay in a fellowship that is being investigated by the FBI for criminal activity and 2 documentaries are in the works? 


Why do you stay when the Lord is going to rapture the church soon and you might be left behind if you do not trust and believe in Jesus for your salvation instead of a belief system? 


Why do you stay when works instead of faith are preached? 


Why do you stay when you are free to open the door and walk away to freedom in Christ and the peace and joy that comes with it? 


Why do you stay when there are over 700 known perpetrators of child sexual abuse to date? 


How can you stay and support this fellowship when you know what you know? 


“Being a human being means both more and less than being an image bearer of a holy God. The real issue at the core is personhood. Failing to discern rightly who we are renders us unable to accurately discern anything we touch, feel, think or dream. Failing to discern rightly who we are renders us unable to properly know who God is. We are truly lost in a darkness of our own making.”


The rapture is happening. Craig and I want to be in heaven with you. We love you. The only way that happens is if you know and believe who Jesus is and trust in what he did on the cross to save you, forgive you and give you eternal life. Some day every tongue will confess and every knee will bow that Jesus is LORD. We stand before God someday as an individual by ourselves facing our Creator and Savior. No group or belief system is standing with us. 




**** Craig and I grew up in a belief system and culture that was 

hidden in plain sight. It had beginnings from 1887 in the UK. The history was hidden from us and it was supposed to be from the beginning in bible times. The tenets that needed followed were: Meetings in homes, ministers of the same sex who went out two by two and lived without a home. They are supposedly celibate, but aren't. They are single. Meetings in homes and itinerate 'workers' take the place of Jesus being the Way, the Truth and Life. Legalism and works take the place of grace. 


Aberrant behavior abounds within this system based on deception and a big lie. The ratio of Child Sexual Abuse within this system is off the charts. The perpetrators are protected but the victims are ostracized and emotionally abused for telling the truth. 


The FBI and IRS are now involved.  Money is laundered. The system works like a cartel or the mafia. Documentaries are being made. A totalitarian script is followed. Money and power and corruption is fostered by a congregation that willingly supports and endorses the lies, the abuse and the corruption. 


If anyone wants to know more, Advocates For The Truth, Telling the Truth, WINGS, EX2x2info, Concerned and Connected Friends and Preserving the Truth are all places to get information. Old books from the 80's and 90's are hard to find but they include: The Secret Sect, Reflections, Etc. Facebook has 2 active groups. Look up 2x2, Coonyites, The Truth, The Friends and Workers, etc, on the internet and find a treasure trove of info and videos. 


Most of all pray for the people. They aren't all evil. They are brainwashed and deceived and trapped - much like any other cult members - the people aren't evil but the belief system is. The system is the wolf. 


You will recognize them by long hair, no jewelry or make-up, long dresses usually denim skirts and they stay to themselves as far as sports, movies, music, etc. They do not have answers when questioned by a Christian. They do not blend with mainstream Christianity. 


The hymnbook does not give credit to music written by outsiders and used without permission or attribution. 


The most famous hymns of our time are not in the hymnbook. Christmas and Easter are not celebrated but Halloween is. Christmas Carols are not sung or enjoyed. The Gospel according to the 2x2's is not Good News. It is a belief system based on lies.
