Okay, I have to say this as someone brought up that they have contact with some CMers and they were told that they (the CMers) sometimes "fudge" on their tithe or they don't really practice all the "New Wine" etc. Well, you see, when we were FMers for 1 1/2 years, we read the New Wine, but didn't really put most of to practice either. We were getting out the tools regularly and sending in testimonies and our faithful tithe (below 10% sometimes). But then the Grapevine came out(in April or May of this year) and said that many CM and FM homes were not giving their full tithe. Well, we were not sending a complete 14%, too. So, when we took stock of our stance with the Family, our personal beliefs, and our carrying out of F. polcies, we were really "following afar-off" as they say. And for years, we didn't put the famous "Loving Jesus" into affect (its too sickening), and we weren't a "sharing" couple (while CM), and we didn't always "witness in the holy name of the F.", we NEVER prayed in the name of "keys" then well, it stands to reason that we just weren't fit to even be FMers. An FMer MUST believe ALL the new wine... MUST. Plus, you are to be willing to stand up for the "old wine" and shit from the past! So, what a simple Christian needs to do is stop and re-evaluate your real walk with the Lord. Even non Family Christians have to do this on a regular basis! If there is something a person is not doing in accordance with the Bible and their personal conviction with their relationship with the Lord, then they need to stop it as soon as possible and make things right. We will not be judged on Family standards between the Lord and you personally. It's a personal thing. So, if the Lord asks you if you obeyed such and such rule and you knew you were supposed to, but you didn't... He is going to get down to the very basics of how you were simply lieing to yourself and others and not being true to your convictions. If you are indeed a CMer of an FMer, you must at the very least BELIEVE ALL of the holy wine that has come out in publications since 1968. You can hide somewhat if you don't live near other homes and never see your shepherds, but you can never hide from the Lord!
