Just thinking that workers DO tend to "clump" together. I believe it might be to present a united front. Yet I did meet a worker who was appalled at what another worker said in a gospel meeting. Obviously the issue has never been addressed because the worker who misused scripture is still at it and in the same vein. That's good though! Because all of these experiences are what finally set me free. God will never leave us stumbling in hopelessness if we are desiring to be in His Presence! There are no smilies that can even begin to express that joy! David sang, danced and couldn't contain his delight in the Lord!

DAa I am a little slow. Would someone please tell me who these servants of God are and also How you know they are servants of God?WHo Who WHO They say they are servants of God in pretense alone. They don't let you decide for yourself with the God given choice we have. They take the flesh captive to serve their flesh, and they have many slaves to their lies. They teach by implication that if you don't believe them and follow them, you will burn in hell. How's that for "Good News" from God? (Not)

It may be hard to believe, but it is my experience, I'm sorry you havent had the same experiencses. to just me, I wouldnt say I was intending to shake anyone up. But from the conversations I had no topic was a no-go. Teenager - I am glad you have been able to talk to workers about so many different topics and you have not had the same experience as others. A question for you: When you talk to these workers about these different topics are you trying to find out what their answers are to these topics or are you finding answers on your own in the Bible and finding they are different than what the workers teach and then questioning them with scriptural verses to back you up?

Nichole If I have any concerns I go to the Lord.. not to the workers. I wouldnt say I have any concerns that I feel I should question the workers about. However there have been occasions when we have talked about certain things that may be considered 'sensative' excommunication etc.. and I have felt able to talk freely about it.

Wonderful that you go to the Lord for your answers. Keep it up!! The reason you may have had different experiences with the workers is that - at least from what you wrote - these are simply conversations. These are not taking something that God has opened up to you about scripture and finding it different than what the workers teach and bringing it up to them. The people who have done this when workers are in error have a much different experience than yours. Nichole

to teenager, if indeed you have visited with workers about various issues that you have seen posted on the net
it is a good guess that you are being watched closely
for signs of spiritual slipage
