A continuation of his article
From that Sunday till today, we are still the New Hope Church, gathering on Sunday mornings and evenings as well as Wednesday evenings in our homes.
After a year or so, we dissolved the church board. We retained a treasurer. We also have two laypersons as money counters. That's it.The 1st Church of Grant works this wayWe obviously have dissolved monthly board meetings since there is no board. We therefore have no annual meetings, no elections. No need for them any more.
We have also dissolved formal church membership with its usual membership roster. No need for them.
Grant is Pope..He has no authority to answer to for his doctrine or use of funds...
Most "independant " churchs at least have elders..But Grant is God...
I think that is how Jim Jones and Koresh started out..
...He goes on
We also have no more ecclesiastical overseers telling us what to do, when to do it, how much to pay-up, what reports to fill out and mail in. We have no more church politics to contend with, no more under cuttings, no more organizational unfairness and anxieties to untie or tolerate.In other words, we have been set free! The only one now in control "above us" is God--alone!
Grant that is what Jim Jones said...

| Isn't this where Moroni shows up and gives Grant some gold plates and a Peep Stone??? |
