I think the RC’s hereon are teaching me something I hadn’t realized quite clearly before . . . a RELIGION founded by folks rather full of themselves convinced that ITS PARTICULAR FETID PILE OF DOCTRINES OF MAN ARE ESSENTIALLY THE ONLY WAY WILL NATURALLY TEND TO COLLECT, cultivate, train, embellish SHEEPLE who are also rather full of themselves.

Fantastic, Quix! But of COURSE, it only makes sense that in order to gather together people who would march step in step straight down the broad path and through the broad gate, singing and arms locked together in complete unison and blindness, an organization would have to believe without a doubt that they have obtained complete authority and control.

What better way than to blow these people full of self-importance and 'pious' acts of 'holiness' that only serve to appeal to the carnal, outer man. Appeal to the senses, make them feel special, and 'unlike the OTHERS' and you have a group that will not only go willingly, but without any TRUE knowledge of EXACTLY why. They don't know without a doubt WHAT they believe, WHY they believe it, or WHERE they are headed. And yet, they ignore the only way to double check their destiny before they arrive.

'NOPE, I'm on the right path. It FEELS right. And why should I? There are so many of us, we cannot be wrong... that's how we know we are right, dontcha know, our numbers. And we've always been around, from the beginning...poets, and artists, and the greatest minds that have ever lived are on this path..God will be so glad to us home from the great fight we have fought for Him...and her, and them, and the others..we're just so proud of our work on His behalf..oh, and our suffering, too, always our suffering.."

Exactly -- a very good description of fake pastoers like Benny Hinn etc. and the fake gargling that they call "talking in tongues" (which is not like the Apostolic talking in varied languages).

I see that you too find that the Pent-e-cosatl "Appeal to the senses, make them feel special, and 'unlike the OTHERS' and you have a group that will not only go willingly, but without any TRUE knowledge of EXACTLY why" to be strange.

What do you think of the whole blurbing and gargling in tongues (not in real languages)? Do you also think that pent-e-coastal charlatans like Hinn, Hogan, Popoff, Hagin, Meyers etc. are "gather together people who would march step in step straight down the broad path and through the broad gate, singing and arms locked together in complete unison and blindness, an organization would have to believe without a doubt that they have obtained complete authority and control."

You posted some well put good points.

Thx.
