People who claim to be missionaries and who show by their behaviors that they are NOT, I usually describe as "Gospel BUMS".
Their parasitism has CAUSED them to turn to litnessing, prostitution and the like, BECAUSE God DOES provide where and when He guides, and TF LEFT GOD!!!!
It was God extending His mercy to a bunch of people who, mostly with fairly good intentions, did what they did in ignorance and unbelief, like Paul said about himself, and God's call on his life.
I read on some ex-memberboard about the estimate of the number of people who joined TF over the years, and found that the doctrine was NOT of God, and that they were involved with a fasle prophet (Berg/Maria-Peter), false apostles who lived out what 2Cor 11 says about their type), and false brethren (those who CHOSE to indeed be CHILDREN--the kind that Eph4 said DO allow themselves to be "carried about by every wind of doctrine..deceit of man", etc., etc.
That estimated number was about 30,000 people! Yeah, NOT 3,000--that's not a misprint.
Whew! I guess it is obvious that I feel rather strongly about the subject--thanks for letting me VENT.
GBY!
