Let the Church Say Amen!!!

Greetings to everyone! Hoping your journey has had more highs than lows. Simultaneously, I recognize that strength, growth, and wisdom emerge from the low points in life. I would like to discuss one of my low points that lead me to spiritual awakening. It is specifically the horrific experience I had at a traditional church that will not be identified. Painful experiences often facilitate higher divinity and spiritual maturity. I think it is important to share my story due to numerous individuals having the same or similar experiences. It is easier to heal and learn vital lessons from traumatic events when you know someone else has also been through it. This is the underlying premise for support groups sharing a common experience or problem to defeat it, grow from it, and turn out better because of it. It is mastering the art of turning lemons into lemonade 🍋.

The lemonade for me was acquiring spiritual awakening or enlightenment. It is my ability to perceive and interact with higher realms of the non-physical universe without the distortions, manipulations, and restrictions of religion. Spiritual enlightenment is supported by science, mathematics, and eye-witness accounts. It is the awareness of the true nature of creation, human life, and how everything is connected. It has nothing to do with the New Age movement. Although all religions promote truths, they impose man-made belief systems creating false narratives. 

Imagine being in prison without access to windows or doors unable to see the outside. The outside is a normal earth atmosphere and landscape. However, the people in-charge tell you that the sky is murky green and the grass is purple. The birds swim and the fish fly! They tell you that if you step outside the air will incinerate you, the green sky will rain down slime, and the flying fish will bite you! Terrifying! You have been in this prison your whole life and that is what you believe. The prison administrators all know that is a lie, but they continue to promote it to keep the prisoners under control. You become comfortable in the prison and terrified to go outside...That is religion. The prisoners who find their way to an open window or door will see and experience how the planet really is...That is spiritual awakening.

The following discussion is in no way meant to degrade or disrespect the church or its people. I am from a family of church people. Most of them are Protestant Baptist with a scattering of Methodists, Catholics, and Jehovah Witnesses. I have some cousins who converted to Islam. They had children and they had children. Hence, an entire branch of my family are Muslims. My grandfather founded a church back in 1916, over 100 years ago. He served as the senior pastor until he transitioned to his next life. I was practically raised in the church. I am sharing an experience that made a major impact on my religious beliefs. It just so happens that my experience is similar to those of countless others. As previously demonstrated, I am going to keep it 💯. Therefore, this discussion might be triggering for some of you.

Before I discuss my actual experience, I want to clarify my position. I became spiritually enlightened (awake) after a series of painful and unusual experiences. I no longer participate in organized religion aka the traditional church. I actually did the research and didn't just act on a whim. 

• I am not a New Ager. I believe in unadulterated organic philosophies that have not been tampered with. 
• The sacred writings that support those philosophies are exactly the same now as they were thousands of years ago. 
• The New Age movement adopted those philosophies. They did not create them. 
• The unadulterated truth existed before any religion. 
• When the various religions were established, they also adopted certain unadulterated truths. They just package them differently. Hence, all religions reflect truths. 
• The various belief systems & philosophies, including New Age, often overlap each other because they come from the same source. 
• People who do not follow mainstream religions have a broad range of perspectives. We don’t all have the same views. Just as there are variations within conventional belief systems, the same is true for non-conventional systems. 

Due to my background being Christianity, any references to church are toward Christian organizations unless otherwise stated.

Modern day churches have become a hypocrisy straying far from their original purpose. They are being run and operated as money-making businesses and social clubs. Religious leadership is more focused on pagan rituals, social prestige, and finances. There is not as much concern for the well-being of the worshipers, physical, mental, nor spiritual. Church people are often mistreated, neglected, disrespected, and even abused by the leadership and other members. Misguided and delusional ones actually defend and attempt to dismiss the foul deeds of their leaders. Just as the rest of the world, the truth angers them. Ironically, these are the individuals who should be promoting the truth! Major corruption and all types of scandals have emerged from the Lord's House.

The powerful light from the Age of Aquarius is dispersing the darkness false prophets have been hidden by for years. I have never seen so many spiritual leaders fall from grace and/or step-down from their positions as I have recently. Consequently, increasing numbers of individuals have become disillusioned with the church and turning to alternate forms of spirituality.

Psalm 118:8 “It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in man.”

No one should allow human beings to pull them away from God, the Creator, the Universe, or whatever term you prefer. The church consists of human beings. The church is collectively human beings, not the buildings they congregate in. One’s faith or confidence should never be in any human-based establishment. It should be placed in divinity which is inside of everyone. I learned that lesson in a painful, yet, life-changing way.

It is my personal opinion that if the traditional church is conducted the way it was intended, as indicated in the Holy Bible, there would not be such a huge falling away. In addition, some spiritually enlightened people could attend church with little or no conflict of interests.

True spiritual concepts proven by science are either ignored or condemned by false prophets and misinformed people. True spirituality does not conflict with science. If it does, it is fake. How do I know? A spiritual being manifested our physical universe and the scientific laws that govern it. How can it be wrong to study how the heavenly bodies impact humanity (Astrology) when the same entity created both? Not only did He/She create both, but strategically positioned the heavenly bodies to interact with our planet. How can it be wrong to study the purpose and capabilities of the Third Eye (pineal gland) when it is a natural part of the human anatomy? The human anatomy was designed by our Creator.

The ignoring or condemnation of true spirituality is misleading. It is also encouraged by devious individuals because it keeps your mind imprisoned. It is often based on misinformation and lack of knowledge. For example, many church leaders preach against spiritual concepts/practices, such as meditation, burning sage, frequency & vibration, using crystals, studying Astrology, activating the Third Eye, or any practice considered New Age. Many of them believe that spiritually enlightened individuals are automatically New Age followers...false! They also believe that a relationship with God has been replaced with those practices...false, at least I can speak for myself. Burning sage or using crystals could never replace a direct relationship with the Creator. They are tools God gave us to connect with divinity.

These so-called alternative practices denounced by religion are supported by science, mathematics, and ancient wisdom. They help us activate, enhance, and understand divinity. Those modalities are meant to promote ascension. They raise the vibrations of people, places, and things. They are not inherently evil. Ultimately, one's intentions determine how any modality is used.

Did you know that some of your mainstream clergy are secretly New Agers? Yes! Some of your beloved pastors, ministers, bishops, evangelists, etc., practice some form of occult spiritualism. They know the real deal, but preach the counterfeit to you. Why? They know what most of you want to hear. They want to keep you happy so those dollars can keep rolling in! Some of them will tell you not to burn sage, yet, they go home and burn sage and whole lot more! They will tell you not to look at Harry Potter, yet, go home and perform rituals to place spells on their congregations. Adoration🥰 leads to monetization💰! When I said I was keeping it 💯 I meant it. Please note, I stated "some" not "all" so don't come for me unless I ask for you.

Several years ago, when my mind was still imprisoned, I began feeling spiritually deficient and empty. My soul was hungry. It had not received food in over a decade. Neither had I regularly attended church in over a decade. I missed the interaction of worshiping with other people. I missed the networking and the potential for a second family. I say "potential" because church folks don’t always act like family. Nevertheless, I did not stop going to church due to a bad or negative experience. I simply drifted away. Initially, I had a personal situation that distracted me. The process of dealing with that situation interrupted my regular attendance. Weeks, months, and then years went by before I realized the extent of my absence. I couldn’t even access the sermons online. Back then, live-streaming church services was very new. Only a handful of churches were doing it. TV sermons were not filling the void created by the lack of in-person attendance. 

Love thy neighbor not their money 🤑.

It would be awesome if churches had an outreach to contact members whose attendance has slacked off. You know, at least act like they care. The members who contribute the big bucks definitely receive outreach when their attendance falters. “Hello brother Moneybags$$$. We have not seen you for the past couple of Sundays. We just checking to make sure you and the family are okay.” On the other hand, if you are a member who gives small to average contributions, as I was, it is unlikely anyone is going to reach out to you. Particularly, if a lot of people regularly join the church generating new members and new money. If I’m wrong and you know of a church that checks on its members with faltering attendance, regardless of their monetary contributions, put it in the comments. Unfortunately, a lot of church leaders prioritize money over human relations. The church is simply a business to acquire the money. I know this for a fact.

As a much younger woman, I attended a Christmas dinner with my date at the home of one of his besties. There was a distinguished-looking older couple there that was advising us to start a church down south. It was an older couple mentoring a younger couple scenario. The husband did most of the talking in a very animated manner. He almost came across as a stand-up comedian, but, with an ugly twist. His wife was cosigning with nods and occasional verbal input. He kept emphasizing how lucrative and easy it would be to start and run a religious institution. It had absolutely nothing to do with whether we were qualified. It had nothing to do with whether we were spiritually mature enough to lead a church. It was presented as a business opportunity or a money-making scheme. God had nothing to do with it.

They outright disrespected southern people referring to them with derogatory terms I won't repeat. They obviously felt that southerners were gullible and not very intelligent which is anything but true. He told my friend, "All you have to do is put on a suit, quote a few Bible scriptures, and start hollering!!!" We, along with the other guests were falling out of our seats laughing 🤣🤣🤣. He claimed that's all it took to get people to follow us and give up their money. “Those people will follow anybody!”

 

FYI, Both of my parents are from the south. Half of my family is from the south. They are some of the wisest and most industrious people I have encountered. Back then, I was young and immature. I know better now.

He even went as far as to provide instructions on how to acquire a building. For a short time, my friend and I were considering how we could relocate to North or South Carolina to follow that horrible advice. We both were young and impressionable, but I had a little more sense than him or should I say a little more integrity? I am not going to lie. The opportunity to become the First Lady of a church and acquire wealth was appealing. However, my friend and I eventually decided against it. It just didn't seem right. 

Although I was a Christian back then, my friend definitely was not! Yet, he was willing to organize and run a Christian organization just for financial gain. It was hypocritical, if not blasphemous. I cringe to think how many churches have begun that way. He would have been preaching to people he didn’t even respect. I sometimes think about how different my life would have been if we pursued that venture. I also wonder how many people listening to that couple actually followed through with their advice; Starting churches for the wrong reasons lead by individuals not divinely called or chosen.

FAST FORWARD

I will now return to the time period that sets the stage for this discussion. As I previously said, weeks, months, and years went by since I had been an active member of a church. My only contact with a church edifice was at weddings, funerals, and retirement parties. My soul was hungry for spiritual food. I felt like a key component was missing in my life. I believed at the time that key component was the traditional church. Therefore, I planned to find one by visiting various ones in my area. 

One church, in particular, caught my attention. The building stood out from the rest of the street. It was attractive and eye-catching. The name of the church was appealing, trendy, yet Biblical. It wasn’t a mega-church, but it wasn’t small either. I looked it up on the internet and found it was somewhat popular with a strong social media presence. The pastor even preached sermons on a popular radio station. The icing on the cake 🎂 was that the building was not very far from where I resided. I am going to nickname it the Dream Church 💒. Unfortunately, it ended up as a nightmare!

I wasted no time. The very next Sunday, I along with a family member got all spruced up and headed over to the Dream Church. Upon arrival, we missed about one third of the service, but was able to witness most of it, including the sermon. The interior of the church was well-constructed and beautifully decorated 🌺. The furnishings from the pews to the pulpit were high quality. It was definitely modern and upbeat as opposed to older buildings. The environment was not exactly warm and friendly, but it wasn't antagonistic either. I felt comfortable enough considering I was in a completely new setting with strangers. From what I could see, the congregation was mostly young to middle-aged women, a few couples some with children and some without, a handful of young to middle-aged men, and a few senior citizens. If I could assign a percentage, I would estimate 50%-60% of what appeared as single women and 40%-50% of everyone else.

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone that says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”

Hallelujah!!!

The service was fiery, high-energy, exhilarating, and full of life! People were singing, clapping, shouting, holy-dancing, literally running around the church, and speaking in tongues. I loved it!! I was the type of church member that was quiet and reserved, but enjoyed being surrounded by high-energy. That may sound weird, but although I worshiped quietly, I did not want to go to a quiet church. Is anyone else that way? I heard the most beautiful harmonies and pulsating beats from tambourines, keyboards, horns, drums, and other instruments. Brawny well-dressed men stood around the entire edifice reminding me of the President's Secret Service.

The pastor of the church was charismatic, highly intelligent, a dynamic speaker, and the 4 E's: Educated, Eloquent, Engaging, and Easy-on-the-Eyes! Can I get an Amen!!! He was also witty with an awesome sense of humor. His sermon was Bible-based, yet interesting and mentally-stimulating. He was skilled at applying Biblical concepts to modern-day issues. He knew how to inject just the right amount of humor in just the right places rendering a highly enjoyable mood-uplifting sermon. He came across as a super-confident, take-charge Alpha male who knew he had it going on! The best part, which turned out to be the worst, was that he was SINGLE. 

A single pastor in a church full of single desperate women. It is the Destroyer's dream come true! At the time, I could not have foreseen the nightmare that was waiting for me. I thought I had hit the jackpot! I thought I had found my Dream Church. Therefore, when the doors of the church were opened, I did not hesitate to join. That was a big mistake. It was the last church I ever joined.

One should attend numerous church services before making a decision to join. I acted hastily making a poor decision. I recommend at least 3 months of just observing the place and how they operate. Make use of the internet to do research and background checks on the organization and its leadership. Look for news stories, court cases, business complaints, social media info, etc.

YOUR HOUSE

YOUR PASTOR'S HOUSE

The Dream Church endorsed a prosperity ministry. In short, it is a ministry that promotes the belief that God intends for EVERYONE to acquire financial prosperity and wealth. We are suppose to have more than enough. In order for that to occur, one must receive favor from God. The main way to acquire this favor is to generously give tithes & offerings to our religious institutions. What confuses me is only the leaders are becoming financially prosperous 🤔. The members, for the most part, continue to struggle and/or live a mediocre life at best. When they start to complain, the preacher shouts, “Don’t you worry!! A chaaaange is comin!!!” Unfortunately, that change rarely comes.

I must place limits on the details describing this place and the people to protect identities. A lot more happened than I can talk about. I will only provide the basic information necessary to facilitate this topic. I was a member of the Dream Church for 2 years. I will attempt to summarize the main discoveries I made and incidents that occurred.

The Dream Pastor was a self-proclaimed Prophet. He could look at a complete stranger and state details about their lives he had no way of knowing in the natural. I must admit, he was stunningly accurate. His Third Eye was wide open! He was supposedly clairvoyant seeing future events. He also communicated messages he claimed God wanted us to know. No one needs a third party to communicate messages from God. The main problem was he charged his congregation money to do it. He even sold tickets to the public for his prophetic services. Charging money to prophesy over someone is a sign of a FALSE PROPHET, according to Christian teachings.

The Dream Pastor charged his congregation money to pray for them! He would stand in front of the church and say things like, “The Lord showed me that 5 people are going to donate $300. Come forward so I can pray for you.” Sure enough, 5 or more clueless people would come forward with their cash and checkbooks in-hand! He would then proceed to pray for them…FALSE PROPHET.

The Dream Church also endorsed a teaching ministry that mentored and trained upcoming clergy. The only problem was they never got a chance to practice their skills. The Dream Pastor completely dominated the pulpit preaching 99% of the sermons. Thus, his students rarely got an opportunity to speak. I felt bad for them. A characteristic of NARCISSISM is being intimidated by those you are supposedly helping. It’s likely the Dream Pastor believed some of his students would outshine him. Narcissists are extremely competitive. They crave attention and adoration from others.

The easy-on-the-eyes unmarried pastor had excellent social skills. He was an expert at charming the single women of his congregation. He would flirt and tease them just enough to make them think they were prospects for romance. He had most of them believing they had a chance at being his wife and the First Lady of the church. In reality, he had no intention of being with any of them. He just wanted them to keep attending so he could empty their wallets. A perfect strategy for ensuring the memberships, tithes, and offerings continue.  Adoration🥰 leads to monetization💰! It was the major part of the false prophet's business plan. As far as I know, over 15 years later, the Dream Pastor is still single and mesmerizing his female followers.

Due to most of the single women believing the pastor was a romantic prospect, there was ferocious competition among them. There was no real sisterhood, only fake smiles, backbiting, jealousies, and vicious gossiping. The women would be shouting in church about how much they loved the Lord, but acted hateful, nasty, and rude toward each other. I even heard about 2 female members almost getting into a physical fight at the church over a petty issue. It was like being in a war zone surrounded by enemies who were smiling, yet trying to kill you at the same time. The leadership knew everything that was happening and was perfectly okay with it.

During the 2 years I attended this Dream Church, I experienced a couple of personal crises. It was church protocol to assign someone from the ministry staff to provide one-on-one counseling and emotional support. This benefit was available upon request. It was like being assigned a makeshift psychologist and case manager that prayed with you and quoted scriptures. Thus, I made a request in-person, over the phone, and in-writing while going through a particular ordeal. I was completely ignored. No response. Not even an offer to pray for me. Nothing. Crickets 🦗 . 

I felt a little hurt 😔, but more angry 😠. I was a tithe-paying regularly attending member. How dare they! Therefore, I called the main office to complain. Can you guess what I was told? “This church is meant for ministers in-training. You don’t have the same privileges.” Say what??? Of course, I proceeded to ask her/him, “If that is the case, why do you accept the membership and monies from those of us who are not in-training? Shouldn’t we receive equal treatment?" The response was, “We don’t turn away anyone. Everyone is welcome to join.” What a whack answer!

If there is such a stark difference in how members are treated it should be communicated at the beginning. Hence, one can make an informed decision if they want to support that establishment. The REAL reason they let everyone join was not wanting to turn down any money 💰💰💰. Most people I tell this story to say they would have stopped going to that church immediately! However, I stayed. I was so enamored with the pastor, at that time, my judgment was impaired. Who knows, the Dream Pastor could have been a warlock putting love spells on us. Nothing surprises me.

SUPPORT

Further down the road, I suffered the loss of a beloved family member. The Dream Church had enough decency to assign me a bereavement counselor without me asking. I believe the person was a deaconess. She prayed for me and my family, read a few scriptures, and said a few general cliche statements about death. No money collection. No offer to cook or donate food to the repast. No offer to provide a space for the funeral or the repast. No attendance from anyone from my church at the funeral. No communication from the Dream Pastor. I think I remember them announcing the death at one of the services. That’s it.

Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"

The following incident is ALLEGED. It was told to me by a credible source. I did not witness it myself. A short time before I joined this church, the Dream Pastor had a female companion who he mentally and physically abused. She was a member of his staff. When she turned to the other staff members for help, they taunted her instead. Another female staffer told her that God showed her that she, not the companion, was meant to be the pastor’s wife. My question to that delusional staffer is if you know he is abusing another woman, what makes you think he won’t abuse you too???

Due to the poor response of her comrades, the abused woman attempted to expose the Dream Pastor in front of the entire church! It backfired. They turned against her instead. She was kicked out the church and barred from ever coming back. Her life spiraled downward after that…allegedly.

The same year of me losing a family member, another one underwent a major medical procedure requiring hospitalization. It was church protocol for the Dream Pastor to either visit or call the church member to pray regardless of whether or not they were in-training. He was notified multiple times about my situation, but refused to contact or acknowledge me.

I missed several church services due to being at the hospital all the time. When I returned, they announced the hospitalization of another church goer’s family member. They were at the same hospital at the same time we were. Yet, the Dream Pastor only followed the protocol with them. Once again, my pastor blatantly ignored me and my family. To this day, I still don’t know why. I’m sure it was for nefarious reasons.

I suddenly felt like a fool giving support and money to a church that did not support me. Whatever love spell he had on me suddenly broke 💔. I felt so betrayed. Not only that, my feelings were so hurt I got up and left. It felt like being kicked when I was already down. After going through the ordeal of my loved one’s illness, my emotions were more raw. I actually wept 😢. I did not want to go out into the public while crying. Hence, I stood in the front corridor wiping my tears trying to get myself together. One of the ushers, a female came over to console me. She seemed genuinely concerned. That usher demonstrated the ONLY act of sisterhood I experienced the whole 2 years I was there.

I wonder if the other member acknowledged by the pastor was a bigger money donator? It should not have mattered. The dream had finally disintegrated into a nightmare. I was completely disillusioned by the Nightmare Pastor and his Nightmare Church. However, I had not made the decision to leave just yet. I’m a Libra ⚖️. We are warriors for justice, fairness, and equality. 

I decided to write an official letter of my grievances against the Nightmare Pastor. In case no one has noticed, I love to write 🧡 ! The letter was very respectful, yet presented all of my concerns. I addressed the letter to a deacon who had been friendly towards me and my family. Of course, the Nightmare Pastor saw or either was informed of the letter. Ironically, his response was angry, not apologetic. 

At the next service, while standing in the pulpit, he singled me out from the crowd glaring directly in my eyes and yelled, “I don’t CARE if you don't like me!!” His eyes turned completely black! That was my cue to exit! He may have said something else, but I didn’t hear it. I got the heck out of there! I did not feel safe. After that day, I never went back. I no longer wanted to support an enemy, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a monster, and a false prophet. His hostility towards me could trickle down to the congregation. I did not want to be in a hostile environment. Particularly, one with an alleged history of kicking a woman out the edifice. That so-called church seemed more like a cult.

I’m no angel, but I didn’t deserve the treatment I endured from a supposed House of God. When I joined that church, my heart and intentions were sincere. I was trying to fill a void in my soul and reconnect with God. I was treated poorly by the Nightmare Pastor and his Nightmare Church. I’m sure I’m not the only one. They have manifested some very bad karma for themselves. 

He claimed he was a prophet. Perhaps he was so angry from both my letter and seeing into the future...🤣. Who knows? Maybe Pastor Nightmare could see me writing about him now…🤭. Real life is stranger than fiction. Either way, I could care less! He should be ashamed of himself. A lot of narcissists are drawn to religious institutions like magnets. They seem to thrive in that environment. All that negative energy trickles down creating a culture of chaos, hostility, abuse, and even criminal activity. Moving forward, I forgave him a long time ago and those silly delusional women. The forgiveness benefits me, not them.

Sadly, countless people all over the world 🌎 have similar horror stories, if not worse. All religious institutions are not like the Nightmare Church. There are some virtuous ones with exemplary leadership. Regrettably, they are outnumbered by their devious counterparts. Modern-day churches can harbor some of the darkest energies on the planet. The reason is they are headed by people who are darkest energies on the planet. They present a righteous holier-than-thou image while doing foul things behind closed doors. Everyone else just looks the other way. When they are finally exposed, their church often defends them instead of holding them accountable. They should be setting the example for the world 🌎 on how to live, how to conduct oneself, and how to treat people. In contrast, too many religious people blend seamlessly with the world. They are indistinguishable from the world. 

Yes, we are only human and will falter. Yes, we are going to mess up. That still does not justify becoming allies with the opposition. It does not justify being in fellowship with those who hate your Messiah. It does not justify refusing to adhere to the teachings of your Lord & Savior. I hate to say it, but numerous religious people behave this way 😔. Hence, record numbers of people are leaving the conventional church. There is a huge falling away from religion like the world has never seen. All the shenanigans going on in the Lord's House is largely to blame.

Most churches have poor and/or corrupt leadership. In turn, that energy spreads to the congregation who are usually damaged and spiritually hungry. They are not receiving the right food. When an organism does not receive sufficient food with essential nutrients, it will not grow and develop properly. It will not thrive. Any damage done to it cannot heal. The same is true for the soul. 

Imagine an entire belief system based off of one book. The Holy Bible 🔖 contains invaluable wisdom and universal truths, but it's incomplete. Information has been strategically removed. The remaining information has been altered rendering multiple versions. Original meanings have been lost from translations across multiple languages. All versions of the Holy Bible offer spiritual food, but it is genetically modified and deficient in nutrients. The Ethiopian Bible is considered the most accurate version. It is more in-alignment with the original manuscripts. It provides spiritual food that is more organic with a higher nutrient composition for your soul and mind. Any other version of the Bible has been modified or altered. Does your church use the Ethiopian Bible?

I am not trying to discourage anyone from attending church. Nonetheless, one must use a high level of discernment in determining if a religious organization is in-keeping with spiritual truths. One should pursue organizations that are run by people who reflect characteristics more like the deities they are worshiping. Isn’t that common sense? For example, a Christian organization should be run by individuals who reflect the nature of Jesus Christ. A Buddhist organization should be run by individuals who reflect the nature of Buddha…and so forth. Being selfish, arrogant, and greedy for money are not traits of any benevolent entity I know about.

As previously stated, the Nightmare Church is the last one I ever joined. The high-energy, fiery, over-the-top church services served as a distraction from the inappropriate things going on. They were like circus acts or a form of entertainment. Although purported as a Christian organization, the nature of Jesus Christ was not in that place. It was in-league with the world which was reflected in how I was treated. When I first left, I was emotionally distraught, disillusioned, and wounded. It caused a major paradigm shift. However, my relationship with the Creator was untouched. I refused to allow those toxic people to ruin that. I eventually healed and emerged stronger and wiser than ever! 

I began to study the origins of many belief systems, particularly Christianity. I discovered the modern-day church along with their rituals are based on fabrications, man-made doctrines, and paganism. As a result, I want nothing to do with organized religion. It is no better than being in a cult, if not worse. If that is not bad enough, conventional believers are extremely judgmental. Anything they don’t understand is labeled as witchcraft. They don’t realize the witches & warlocks are in church right next to them. They don’t realize the witches & warlocks are in the pulpit preaching to them! They are spiritually deaf, dumb, and blind. Their minds are imprisoned and the keys have been thrown away. 

I am not against people congregating together to praise & worship. It is a beautiful thing to fellowship with like-minded people. I highly recommend it. However, they should receive authentic teachings based on scientifically proven concepts. It boils down to Truth versus Belief. It is comparable to consuming organic versus GMO foods. Which one do you prefer? Which one is better for your mind & body? Which one is closer to what God created? If you chose organic, you have no business attending a counterfeit church, with a counterfeit leader, teaching a counterfeit gospel. Wake-Up!!!

My opinion. My belief. My truth.

Let the Church Say Amen!!!
