Greetings, I'll try answer those questions to the best of my ability.
(1)What has your post got to do with Journeys?
The posting was in response to the statement put forward by the webmaster of this site who put forward the view that Christians web sites are proliferating on the net,(which is quite true)in response to my claim that they are being systemically attacked. (also true)
(2)How is it related to healing and recovery, or biblical issues related to the Family experience?
The post was in response to a posting concerning spiritual abuse. (IE Attempting to silence Christians.) We all recall that that was one of the COGs most incidious forms of abuse. It was agree with Mo or shut up.
(3)How is it sensitive to people who have hardly any faith intact from Berg's injurious teachings?
Can you explain what part of that posting you found to be grievious and why?
(4)How is it relevant to those of different spiritual persuasions?
How could any posting discussing spiritual matters be relevant to all when there are so many conflicting spiritual persuasions? (A Satanist for example would be totally horrified and deeply offended at reading that post.)
(5)How are you actually discussing your faith in making such a post?
My faith includes the belief that the whole world will turn in hostility against Christians as prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 24
Actually David Berg types are specifically mentioned and warned against in verses 4 & 5.
(6)How is this helping people unlock mental chains, receive affirmation or find healing from spiritual abuse?
If we understand the nature of spiritual abuse as it is being conducted by many in high places we are one step closer to being set free from the horrors of being manipulated contrary to our best interests. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." The fact that the Lord warned us nearly two thousand years before we were born of David Berg's type of spiritual abuse (In many place's in the New Testament.) should serve to affirm (in part at least) many in their faith that He also has the power to heal them.
How are you and what is your state of mind?
I am fine never been better, Thank you, and my state of mind is quite peaceful, clear and free.
The Lord bless you.
