I came on to one of these threads a week ago and posted the wikipedia page on him, which is pretty intersting. Because of this I got put on the ping list. In other words my gut says: avoid. So I decided to listen. That was my report. He meanders a lot, I did appreciate he's not saying he is something special. Though his followers here on FR seem to make some veiled claims for him. For instance the Jesus tending the flock next to Roy talking to the class borders on the blasphamous, in my opinion.
On the other hand: At least he professes Christianity or a fairly orthodox type. He's not saying Krishna or Buddha is god.
He's not my cup of tea, to be sure, but he doesn't seem to be in the same league as the bad gurus.
God also sent Roy Masters to teach His Word in a special way suited to today's circumstances, also done in an informal, unritualized manner, in other words Jesus preached and answered people's questions to their everyday problems, Roy preaches and answers peoples questions to their everyday problems. He's continuing the work that Jesus started.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Jean, is your life perfect, have you solved all your personal problems, no you haven't, that's where Roy can most likely help you, do you know how to handle the liberal enemy and the coming Obama Apocalypse? If you do let me know, then maybe I'll stop listening to Roy and start listening to you. Roy Masters is not for everybody, he should be but he isn't , Narrow is the way and very few will ever find what that way is, Roy knows the way to the Way, do you?
And no you are not on the ping list, There were 5 radio show threads posted last week, and you weren't pinged once, however because you have a slight interest in Roy, I thought I would ping you for today's Sunday discussion. If you would rather I never ping you again, no problem.
My first reaction to Roy was “Oh no.. here’s a male Oprah who wants to tell you you have problems where none exist. Time went on and I thought I’d give Roy another try.. I actually listened this time and what he said made a lot of sense, he was talking about me and a lot of people I know.. some of it I didn’t want to hear.. it would be too much work to confront my demons (and we all have them). Issues I have lived with all of my life.. Why stir everything up when you can live in ignorant bliss.. right? Even painful emotions feel so much a part of you, they become your identity. You become comfortable with what is killing you.. You wouldn’t know how to live without them.. You’re not sure you could live without them.. So you smoke, drink or whatever it is you do to drown out you conscience. You embrace the bad and forgo the good.. Isn’t that what Liberals do??
The main thing I got out of Roy show was that we must be honest with ourselves first.. He sometimes sounds cultish, but the difference is.. Roy isn’t asking you to follow him.. He’s asking you to follow Your conscience given to you by God. Tell me how that can be a bad thing.
