Hey Scally,
This is a confusing bunch of crap, isn't it? One example:

Karen,
I understand your urgent desire to wake up the church. I too have been wondering why the church turns its back on
Christ for the sake of their traditions and pagan lifestyles.
I, however, do not believe it is possible at this late hour for the churches to wake up. That opportunity has come and gone and now Yah is calling his people out of the churches so that he can judge the remainder (gather up the tares and
burn them).
(This sounds like some imitation of the Associated Bible Students. Since they feel we are in unique times, I would say they are rather cult-like in behavior.)
That is what the Table of the remnant is all about, I believe. That is certainly what the body of believers I currently associate with also believe. Christ's message has never changed. I believe he has always desired a people for himself.
He wants a people who love him and want to serve him together in one location, a holy city if you will, encouraging one another daily lest they be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
(Oh boy, another group of JW style fundies, just what the world needs.)
Daily fellowship of that sort requires that they live close enough to one another that they can easily walk outside and be together, or even share the same dwelling. Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity!
(Cult)
Now, I am not talking about the sick way the world does it when they live together, I am talking about a holy, sanctified life dedicated to serving and worshipping Yah and his only begotten son, Yahshua of Nazareth, the Christ.
(Yea, right. There is no one hornier than a bunch of fundies after a few weeks of celibacy. "Oh, we are better than anyone else." Crapola!)
Just imagine brothers working side by side together to raise up a community of saints and to collectively provide for the needs of all, especially including widows, orphans, and those unable to care for themselves. A whole community
dedicated to doing all things as unto the Lord!
(So was Jonestown, Guyana)
There is at least one place on this earth where that very thing is happening right now. I am about to leave the Navy at the end of my current enlistment, and forsaking (for his sake) all things I once treasured or thought important, I am
moving my wife and our two sons and I there in about 6 weeks from now. For the rest of our lives we will be his devoted servants, worshipping him 24 hours a day in spirit and in truth, along with about 230 others of like mind.
(Yea, right. I feel sorry for the kids. The wife will probably end up being impregnated by the leader of the group. At least she will have fun will Mr. Saint here deprives himself.)
No, this is no Waco. We do not do anything weird, or practice perversion, or hord guns or anything like that. Our only weapon is the one included with our spiritual armor (the sword of the Word of God). We eschew all weapons of human craft.
If you or anyone else is at all interested in living totally for Christ, then come check us out. Our address and phone number in West Tennessee are on our web site at:

(Oh boy, up in the hills and out of contact with normal people. This post screams, "We are a cult!")
MY assesment.
