For those of you that have missed it I deal with a lot of WMSCOG on the west coast. I have personally been effected by the groups in California and Washington. Even when I try and put myself in their shoes and see things from their perspective I keep running into destruction of families. From their point of view they seem to have an idea that the families are the ones to blame. If they would simply come into the "truth" everything would be great and the love would just pour over the entire family. Let me share one of the stories of a family with you. (Yes, I have permission to share this with you.) A long time member of the origional group in California brought his girlfriend into the group. They were married in the church and had kids. Over the years this man started seeing changes in the teachings and the doctrines. At one time he told me that they were discouraged from talking to black people and Jewish people. The reasoning for this is that supposedly black people are decendents of Hamm who was the cursed son of Noah and the Jews are the ones who killed Christ and took upon themselves the curse for doing so. All of this was taught to them using the Bible for the basis. As time went on these teachings were put aside and both groups are now preached to. It can only be speculated as to why this change happend. Anyway, seeing these types of changes this man started sharing with his wife his concerns. Instead of hearing him out and thinking for herself she started reporting his doubts to the leadership. As more things came up people started labeling him as untrustworthy and worse. As this group forced a wedge between this man and his wife they were also pushing to make him leave. This was his life at the time. His spiritual family as well as his physical family. Where was LOVE in all of this? This group claims to have all of the answers and the truth for crying out loud! Eventually he left the group, she divorced him, and he was shuned. Even when he tried to simply talk to old friends, past brothers and sisters who claimed to love him they would not give him the time of day. I spent some time with this man in California trying to help him reach out to some of his old friend that were still trapped in this group. I witnessed first hand the destruction and devistation that this group is willing to do to even one of their own members. Fortunately God introduced us to each other at a time when we both needed each others help. My loved one was trapped in this group at this time. This member showed me how some of the manipulation worked and helped me to understand things like arguing with the people inside of the group only pushes them in further. It's a very twisted mindset that we are forced to deal with.
This paticular thread I'm going to share with you some of the stories I've heard from the first hand accounts of the families. I'm going to expose some of the hate that is shown towards the people that God commands us to respect. The leadership of the WMSCOG is not going to be happy with me about this but they created these situations and I will not be sharing anything with you that I have not gotten the ok from the families for.
You would think after all of these years of destroying families, all of the bad blood and bad press, that this group would want to change this part of their image. It seems that it's business as usual for this destructive group.
