Arrests would be made in nearly every state. When a man was arrested in Washington, the FBI had footage from a camera planted on a telephone pole near his front yard. There were tipsters calling in names of old classmates. There were photographs on the FBI’s web page and online sleuths trawling for clues. One hundred arrests in the first two weeks. The FBI was at the airport, someone heard. At first it was just a feeling, watching the news, as the word rally gave way to the word riot, that the mood of the day had not carried onward into the present. The worry set in later, when the swarm resolved into 9,000 separate bodies in separate homes in separate beds. “If any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death” (Deuteronomy 18:20).They can’t arrest us all,’’ a future defendant had posted days before, and this was the vibe in the moment, the ecstatic invulnerability that leads someone to smear feces on the floor of the building in which the most powerful country on earth writes its rules. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds’” (Jeremiah 14:14 see also 23:21–33 Zechariah 10:2). I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. “Then the LORD said to me, ‘The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. JW's, rage away at this if you want, but you have been soooo deceived. The scripture says not to give any respect to a false prophet. Well, guess what? This never happened when they said it would. The falsely prophesied no less than four times the exact time and date of the Rapture where only their 144,000 JW saints get to go. The Watchtower Organization says it is the sole prophetic voice of earth for Jehovah God. Upvotes Follow Unfollow 2 weeks ago (edited) TLDR an acclaimed youth pastor tried to make it seem like his prayer had converted several people, when I could clearly see it had not And this wasn’t some nobody youth pastor, he was like quite legit having written books and being mentioned in national articles and stuff It was perplexing to see him lie to so many people like that. “Yes I see you over there, amen come find me afterwards”. (Which is fine, I mean maybe they were all already Christians?) However, as I’m looking at nobody responding, Mr Pastor starts saying “ok I see you there”, “oh I see another over there, Amen” “and you back there, praise god”. Every single person still has their head bowed, eyes closed. I discreetly look up and notice that exactly ZERO people in the crowd are looking up at him. I’m behind him, and facing the crowd who have their eyes closed so I decide it’s safe to take a peek.
Now if you just prayed that prayer with me I want you to look up - everyone else keep your heads bowed- but if you just now gave your life to Jesus look up at me or raise your hand so I can see you” “Ok everyone keep your heads bowed, eyes closed. Then his prayer went into the whole “here’s what you pray if you want to become a Christian right now” yada yada yada. The whole room (200+) had their heads bowed as dude was praying. At one point the pastor dude was praying and the musicians were behind him waiting to play when he was done. I was like 15 and playing an instrument in the “worship band” for the most popular “youth group” in the area (which is a verrry Christian area). That combined with her regular, not religious abuse has left me struggling a lot with my religiosity. Not allowed to say "damn" because it's an affront to God My rare genetic condition was part of God's plan and I'd understand some day Scientists should not be trusted under any circumstances
Harry Potter was an absolute no because witchcraft is an affront to God Hollywood is operated by Satan so I wasn't allowed to watch movies or shows (especially Disney) I was a d**khead because my dad got me fully vaccinated as a child and that is against God's plan I wasn't allowed to feel pride in my accomplishments because it's a sin Not allowed to believe in the Easter Bunny because it was also a hand of Satan trying to corrupt me away from Jesus. Santa was actually a hand of Satan trying to corrupt me Not allowed to believe in Santa because that takes credit away from God.
She instilled some serious shame into me under the guise of God.
