To “Friends downunder”
What is your point?
Gary in his final post on this thread has apologised for any wrong doing (the other post elsewhere on this board recently was definitely not posted by Gary – I checked with him). You persist in regurgitating old information from 2 or 3 years ago.
Gary said in his post: If the Lord God does not hold against us that which we have repented of before Him, may we as brothers and sisters in Christ do the same for one another.
You seem happy to elevate yourself above God in believing that you do not need to forgive – not good in light of Isa 14 v 12 –15 when satan felt that he could also elevate himself above God.
Many of us are hiding behind pseudonyms, however, remember the Lord knows who we all are and will hold us all accountable for what we say and do. (The main reason I use a pseudonym is because I would hate my name to show up on a google search and for my ‘non 2x2’ friends to see that beneath the rosy exterior of the smiley 2x2’s is the culture of hatred and backstabbing which is often displayed on this board).
Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. – this is a verse we quote so often that we can risk missing the seriousness of it
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
The proof to me is the fruit. I have had a bit to do with Gary and Steve and see evidence of love, joy, peace etc. bought about by the working of Gods spirit in their lives. It would give me great joy to also see evidence of the same in the posts of “friends downunder” and co.

Mervyn Edmund’s Account to his Son of Gary Johnson & Steve Blubaugh’s Visit 2/5/05, Victoria And if you are one of the gravity-challenged 'friends from downunder' that's 5/2/05 in these parts. The point of that account is not for amusement value, rather it serves a two-fold purpose. It is a lucid account of the type of visit that many in North America might have with any or all of Gary Johnston, Steve Blubaugh and Allen Ridley. It might help some to be on their guard more than if such a visit were to just happen without any foreknowledge, because it is clear that Steve & co are very adept at mystery and intrigue and have learnt to be cautious about giving away what is behind their visiting. Secondly for any doubters, it clarifies the close (and unusual) relationship between Steve and the self-appointed 'holy prophet' Gary Johnston.

I thought Gary Johnston had repented from all that? Why is his past being raised when God has buried it in the sea? Only Satan goes fishing.

I thought Gary Johnston had repented from all that? Why is his past being raised when God has buried it in the sea? Only Satan goes fishing. Has he??? All we have is something written by someone who purports to be Gary Johnston, without any evidence. Someone who knows Gary's writing style has said that it is definitely not the "holy prophetss" work. More likely written by one of his followers in NZ.

"Final" as in there was more than one? So you mean to say there was more than one? "Any" or "All"? He has been accused of much he has not addressed. Even so, his apology was vague at best. Wait! So now you mean to say there was only one? Which is it? More than one? Or only one? You can't have it both ways. Did you really? What exactly did he say? Don't paraphrase. Let's avoid confusion. Because others know him too and are saying the opposite. Your (single) story doesn't mesh with the story of others (plural). Something isn't right here. Time to put up or shut up. If old information is no longer reliable (like if Gary un-left his wife) then post the evidence. Post Gary's false-doctrine-retractions too. Ditto. So if *you* see love, joy, peace etc. that means *no* evil can be present? You can't be fooled? Whatever. How well do you really know them? How well do you really know them? So if *you* don't see love, joy, peace etc. that means evil *must* be present? You can't be fooled? Whatever.

so can someone really post a picture of Gary here? Somebody told me (rather unkindly I felt) that he really does resemble this fruit cake. A picture would mean a lot to those of us yet to meet The Prophet.

I used to be in the work with Steve Blubaugh, and would love to talk to him again. I have been "out of the loop" for some years, and just recently found out that he had left also. The new age stuff doesn't scare me. So if anyone has a contact for him, could you please respond, or e-mail me at afeidt@usfamily.net? Thanks.

We need to know for Steve's own sake and especially for those he might influence, that the gospel he teaches is the true gospel which is the gospel of Jesus Christ as spoken in God's complete revelation to humankind through the scriptures. ." How can you be so sure that the Christian Bible is the end all of all truth? "God's complete revelation to humankind?" And only available in the Christian Bible? Give me a break! I believe that "God" or the Universal power, is felt in each of our hearts, if we only listen, and that is the measuring stick for truth. But most of you on here seem to still be stuck in Christianity, so I don't expect you to agree with me. And I really don't want to debate about it, but just had to put my 2 cents worth in. That has been my guide--listening to my heart. When I started to be really honest with myself, that is when I became more uncomfortable with the 2x2 church, and with Christianity as a whole. I believe there is wisdom to be found from many sources, the Christian bible being only one of them ( and I have been averse to opening that up for several years.)

Wisdom is one thing, Salvation is another.

Buster, the tone of your post is very condescending and irreverent.....after all I am only trying to do my job for the Holy Prophet. (who I can report is locked away seeking guidance on his reply to those who doubt his authenticity). I am only new at the job as Gary sacked his last PA for having the wrong incense in the scared room) Oops that of course should be "sacred room"....although it is quite scary. (don't tell Gary I said that or he will sack me to) Omigosh, I'm just now reading this thread, and it has me laughing so hard, I had tears running out of my eyes. My daughter even came out of bed to see if I was laughing or crying! Thanks for hoot!

I am happy to report that the Holy Prophet has been working day and night on his reply to “friends downunder”. The sacred room has been getting a real work over as the Holy Prophet has spent the last 11 days there in meditation, chanting the “sacred name of God” (I am not going to tell you, so don’t ask). I have been busy keeping up the supply of incense, flowers and music, so much so that the local store has run out of incense! However I have been assured that in 3 days time the Prophet will speak! I can hardly wait and am beside myself with excitement. (It is very rare that the Holy Prophet communicates with the outside world). He has kindly allowed me to share with you all the conclusion of the forthcoming epistle. (he is good at introductions and endings, but is having some trouble with the middle bit) [ i]Verily, verily, I say unto thee, that there is one way and one alone, that ye can confirm the truth of what has been conveyed unto thee in this Holy Message. Come unto the LORD thy GOD, O' MY son, in sincere and selfless prayer, in Spirit and in Truth and I shall surely confirm unto thee, that this Holy Message is indeed from the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
This is MY Message. Thus have I spoken. Thus sayeth GOD. The LORD YHWH[/i][/color][/quote] You are just tooo funny!

This thread should be deleted. "Guest" posters prove nothing. I can see why Steve wouldn't come here and "defend" himself.

I can see why Steve wouldn't come here and "defend" himself. another example of self-condemnation She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Whats the latest on Gary Johnson, Steve B and Allen Riley? Haven't seen Gary in Gosp meetings for a while now, don't know where he is. Steve is in US and apparently has got work. Allen is in US, don't know any more on that.

Gary has been back in Melbourne for the past 6 weeks and living with his mother. Melbourne is where he spent his married life with Christine. He has been attending gospel meetings twice a week with his mother, but has not attended any fellowship meetings. (his mother was attending fellowship meetings but has stopped since Gary has returned)
It is unclear how long he will stay in Melbourne and if he will return to NZ in the future. What is also unclear is why he is attending gospel meetings and if he has renounced his new age ideas and his status as a “holy prophet”
