I have just escaped this movement myself after being their for over a decade, and I need to commit Matt 5:44 to memory and practices as the lies, slander and defamation of my Christian character come.

I was reminded again this a.m. of how we were put out back in 2000. None of us ever had the intent or ever expected to leave the Restoration. Even with all the things that happened around the time of ministers meeting in California, it was never anyone's intent to leave. So we also have seen and felt the carnality that was manifested from those in leadership and how they influenced their flock. We know what it is to be cast out and be evil spoken of for righteousness sake. Through it all we have learned more the wondrous "secret of abiding in the Lord". Our only desire is to see all souls prosper and do well in their walk with the Lord. It may have been easier for all of us back then, since we were all put out at the same time. It has helped our family a lot to have been in touch with our brethren that have stayed faithful, through the many perplexing times since then. you asked about our involvement with Charity. We only went to one weekend meeting in South Dakota. It was a breath of fresh air at that point in our experience, and for many there as well. Unfortunately, for many there that weekend that special bond that was experienced there that weekend was not to be known amongst them for long. Soon after differing factions(spirits) sought to gain control and take that small group back into bondage according to their beliefs and as far as we know most moved on in their spiritual journey parting ways. There was a family that moved out to Manitoba to work with the Hutterites there. Since they had come with an agenda and they sensed we were not interested in joining another closed fellowship we we never saw much of them after that. We are thankful for all that we have learned over the past 25 years and with the help of the Lord we learned to sort out what was of his spirit and what was of man. We are glad to let the wood, hay and stubble burn up in our lives and only desire the gold that has been tried in the fire. Those that have failed to do so have lost their way and we trust will yet be able to again hear the voice of the shepherd. For the most part those in the Restoration are either in denial of what they see and know to be inconsistencies in there or are ignorant of what is really happening. They willing believe the lines they are continually fed about others, new doctrines and whatever so they are happy in there. I don't say that with any malice. It is the conclusion we came to about much of our own experience in that group the last number of years we were in there. If we had heeded the spirit more carefully on a personal level we would have honestly had to question things more than we did. That is just what you did. We trust that you will continue to be blessed and encouraged this weekend. The Hightowers are only about 6 hours away and they would love to hear from you some time if you have not already contacted them. 937-374-0604 Bro.
