Quote I still believe a lot about what Ron taught too – ie. XMas, Easter etc etc.I must add I learned all the things I still believe with another group FIRST, not PKG.

Hi there,It took me a while to think of that too – that indeed he was acting like the Pope.I am not sure Irene as to which comments you say are not right exactly – you see Ron doesn't say he is Jesus, but if you don't believe Ron, he says that you are not believing God/Jesus (the message) – this is common knowledge, for all to see and hear.When my…[Read more]

I agree Theodorej, I think it just takes some time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and then effectively disipher what is right.There is the challenge!I have learned through all this where my trust actually was (thought it was in God – but it was in man).To be honest, I am glad to have learned this lesson.Thanks Karmarie for your post – we…[Read more]

Quote When I left in January this year, there were only 2 left in South East QLD, with I think the 1 left in Cairns. I'm hoping that other areas have experienced the same exodus – but you just don't know.I mean this was for QLD alone – I am not sure about the other areas of Australia now that I have left.

Hi Karmarie,When I first joined PKG nearly 2 years ago, I think worldwide there were 800 members – but I am only guessing. I imagine that has dwindled somewhat, however he apparently is getting new converts.Put it this way, in my little group in QLD Australia when I joined, and counting all those that joined (and left subsequently) – there were…[Read more]

Hi Keith,I haven't studied cults at all – so I hope you are wrong!But there is a LOT to be concerned about that is for sure.There are just so many layers to all this!Thanks again, writing things certainly helps me heal – I was in PKG for nearly 2 years – others have been in a LOT longer than me. If it has been this hard for me, I hate to think…[Read more]

Hi Keith,I am sure Ptr775 won't go away. Many cannot help themselves despite what the ministry tells them.I have not come to the place where I would put Ron in the same boat as Koresh or anything like that – but Ron is a VERY cruel man.It is not until you leave that you realise this.First of all, he writes 2 books – one of which tells us to look…[Read more]

Hi all,Thought I would share another piece I posted on Mike's blog:-I know I said this last week, but again, why does God’s most formidable prophet of all time feel the need to look at what his critics are saying? Why does he care? Yes Ron, I will admit I have been miserable – let me explain……You see, on the 17 April, 2008 (USA time) – I was sic…[Read more]

Hi all,Ptr775 – you do not know me personally. The only ones who could attest to that is Wayne & Chris Matthews, Nathan and Sharna. None of them would be on a forum like this, being obedient to Ron's 'suggestion'.Just to raise a few issues. Ron stated that the first timing WAS given to him by God – but when everything FAILED, he then said he…[Read more]
