The Valley, SF, Sacramento, and perhaps Pasadena, (not sure about West LA) Need to disband and scatter.
Some of the other groups might possibly carry on in a totally different format, but this itself will a miracle if it happens.
Testa has chosen to side with an evil man. At best, he has such bad judgement that he is a danger to his family and neighbors on the grounds of pure ignorance.
More likely, he is truly corrupt, and very deceived as well. He is not fit to lead, period. Those who have suffered under his dominion, including Jim Karditzas, must get out, and away, and must never attempt to go back.
If SF continues, it will do so as a full blown cult. It will be far worse than an unhealthy place of fellowship. It will become a truly dangerous cult, where all of the demons that energized George will come to roost. They will have been given permission, by the followers, to do much more mischief than they were able to under George, because the people will have welcomed them knowing full well what they were doing. Deception is terrible, but calling Evil good is far more grave.
Scott Testa, Tim McCarthy, Jim McCallister: Step Down NOW!! Matt 18: 6-7 Mark 9:42
From everything I am hearing, the Valley is similiar to SF, with the exception that they are waffling and triangulating whether or not it is strategic to excommunicate, or not. What Pharisees!
Valley people, take heed to Mat. 15:14, Leave them! Get out now!!!
Depending on what happens here tonite, we will determine if the wonderful new "tone" of the website changes.
I promise I will NOT ever use sarcasm again. I repented.
