"I usually squirm with embarrassment whenever the media get their teeth into the church. The trouble is that, most of the time; the observations and comments of the secular press, radio and television are spot on. We know things have reached a sorry state of affairs when the world rebukes the church for its godlessness."

I feel ashamed to have spent so long spiritually asleep, blind to the evil tom-foolery that the church has been up to.

When non-christians are required by God to provide for his people because the church is not, when the media chastises the church for sitting on our arse and letting wolves ravish the sheep, when we allow this abuse we invite judgment from God.

Back in 2002 very odd things were going on in the UK AOG. I was a member of an AOG church and was utterly unaware of this. Having read about the AOG of Australia sanction abuse, theft and lies I weep inwardly for my brothers I have left inside the claws of the AOG.

"Can anyone please put us out of our misery here? We've heard the strangest thing, and simply cannot believe it.
Did Gerald Coates really get a group of men to lift Paul Weaver up on some couch-like object, proclaiming that they were lifting him up towards God? Did Gerald Coates really sprinkle water on Paul Weaver proclaiming that this was the dew of heaven? Did Gerald Coates really present Paul Weaver to those young men, and tell them that they should honour him, as he is their spiritual father?

"Is Paul Weaver aware of the fact that this is how the Pope is treated? He too is carried in this manner, and called 'Father' — contrary to Jesus' specific instructions."

I can see no other conclusion - THE AOG IS A CULT.

"Now that they have all sobered up, this whole sorry affair has proved to be a bit of an embarrassment _ and has led to the latest sport in discernment circles, which we call 'Spot the Spin'."

While all this is going on I hear from my friends in Kent. There is an AOG church called NLCF (odd name I know) that has a leader called Dario. This man has publicly declaired that members MUST tithe, give thier first months wages of any new Job to the church, attend both sunday meetings and a house group meeting. Otherwise they are told they are robbing God (of the tithe which must go to the church) or not walking correctly with God (church attendence).

These people are warned that they MUST be carefull who they talk to (ie not people who have woken up and bailed out already).

I have heard that only leadership sanctioned Bible study is allowed to be carried out.

There is even the suggestion that Jobs or family that stop you attending the meetings scheduled must be got rid of.

Can you say Cult?

Did you say it already?

I have urged my friends to leave the cult that is NLCF/AOG and some have. But I weap deeply and compleatly for those trapped in this soul rape.

God is not mocked. This cannot continue forever.

Dario, or any other Kent person (UK) please say it aint so.
