Naturally, the family wants to inculcate their values / religion in their kids. This is brainwashing in my opinion, but every family, church, tribe, etc., does it... |
Sounds to me that you are now saying that your in a whole different religion than the majority of others. Does this now mean that he is not Jesus? He is just another man who has started his own religion for the freedom of expression? Why is it that every time you answer one question you raise others? Can you tell us without doubt that the religion that is being taught to you and the others is different than the masses you say are all brainwashed by America?

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall strike down one of your buildings, let him assault to him the other also. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" - From the fifth chapter of Matthew. |

Terry: I would agree that the media distort things. They often all jump on the bandwagon without all the facts gathered, whether it is a car accident, a shooting, politics, etc., and then sensationalize it to sell papers, get ratings, whatever.
I would also agree that many who claim to be Christians do not act that way - the best example being the one in the White House. From the Prez on downs, we seem to resort to lies, threats and violence all too quickly to get people to do our bidding.
How do you feel about being called a "cult" (I guess there are even some self references by Michael as being a cult) ? Do you view that as a negative term inhibiting your credibility?
What do you predict will happen as the future unfolds?
Dealing w/ the authorities?
Community stability?
Attracting new members?
TerryCzap, despite the 'hard' questions and 'attacks' against Michael I congratulate you for coming here and answering them as they relate to him and Strong City. Seeing as this Thread is becoming popular again I gave it a poll and image for easy referrence.
My question for TerryCzap, what is your 'position' in the group? Are you official PR or just an interested person in what is portrayed on the net about Michael?

I find the arguments in defense of this cult very weak. Also check this Thread to see how Michael's 'defender' reacts to requests to stop insulting KNtoran.
Most of what I can base this cult on comes from the words of Michael himself. I can quote a dozen or so scriptures that shows how false this man is and his claims to be Christ, but I do not think he deserves as much promotion as he is already getting from this Thread or the efforts of Terry and SFKid. As one Guest rightly put it...

Did anyone forget that when Christ returns every eye shall see? I don't believe that means only 50 or so people in the New Mexico desert. |
