After 4 1/2 years of attendance I began to thirst and hunger for more in G-d.  This led me to having different ideas for reaching the souls of men and women and having various questions. It was here that I first began to see my church for what it really was, a mind controlling cult.  Don't get me wrong we did not practice strange beliefs that were unorthodox in the "Christian" faith but it was very mind-controlling and not very patient with those who would question it's way of doing things.  It practiced information, emotion, mind, and behavior control and I don't know if they even realize that.

      It was when I questioned our famous (made equal to salvation itself) doctrine of "unknown tongues" as the sole evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit that I was giving the left hand of non-fellowship.  I was looked at differently for merely questioning the doctrine.  The pastor used scare tactics to convince me that I was on my way to apostasy.  This issue was also a major contributing factor to my wife's divorcing me.  I was originally the pastor's right hand man (even above the other certified ministers) and the best member in the church but now I was immediately seen as deceived of Satan.

       This G-d worked together for the good as it led me to study the issue of "unknown tongues" to the most extreme one could go.  The results was a book I written on the subject proving the doctrine as erroneous.  By this my eyes were opened to the need for one to study the Scriptures by what the Scriptures say alone!  By doing this, one by one the traditional doctrines of Xtianity fell and were shown to be erroneous, false, or/and Anti-Scripture/Anti-Messiah.  This has now been a awesome journey since December 2001.  G-d indeed delivered me from modern Babylon and her wine of confusion.
