Hi there
Mention of one being controlled , how true that was , listen to this
Not allowed to go into bible teaching at school
Not allowed to take part in and sport at school
Not allowed to have a part in the local production or plays at school
Not allowed to further ones education
Not allowed to , being a keen piano player , Told not to Play anything else but hymns
Told to be a conscientious objector in 1955
My wife was told not to be a nurse
Told that one had to take part in the meetings , otherwise one would not grow spiritually
( not to mention that I had a bad speech impediment )
Told to submit to your elders
Told not to ask questions , because they are correct
Hey you 2x2s or ex 2x2s I know because we had the convention grounds on our place
I could mention sexual misconduct but thats all I will say on that
I am torn between believing that they are a cult or not .
I do not believe that the 2x2s is for today , They use Mathew 10 for there belief
, but did they not read Verse 1, ( And when he had called unto him his 12 disciples , he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sicknesses and all manner of diseases) now my question is is that not for today
It is said that JESUS is the same yesterday , today and forever ,
We carry on reading that Jesus said to go not into the way of the Gentiles, ( thats us )
but go ye to the lost sheep of the house of Israel , Thats the Jews.
Now in the Acts ch 2 where I believe the true church started from , and after they received the Holy Spirit the 12 and the 70 and the (120 Ch 1 Vs 15 ) all went out to preach THE GOOD NEWS, I may not have this correct but as I read it there appears that there were 1 disciple 15 times,2 at 11 times ,3at 7 times,4 at 2 times , 7 at 1 time ,8 at 1 time ,2 plus some others at 2 times , and 3 plus more at 2 times .
What about Saul , now Paul, he did not have a 2x2 and he was SAVED through the ALL MIGHTY POWER OF GOD.
I think I have rambled on enough , Blessings from New Zealand ( Aotearoa ) meaning the land of the long white cloud .
