"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....

Interestingly enough Kulhman died at the age of 67. So much for god's healing power.
I can't believe that Popoff guy is still going.
His show has just started here in Australia. It's the dodgiest looking of all the christian shows on.
The thing I don't get though is that he's constantly promoting his 'miracle water' (probably just tap water), but he's not charging for it.
It doesn't make sense, knowing he's a fraud.
I wish I could figure out his angle.
Here's a true story about the Rev. W.V. Grant: When I was about 10 or 11 years old, Mr. Grant came to our city to preach and "heal" at our high school's Performing Arts Center. My family being heavily involved in church at the time, as i recall we showed up early to the event for some reason, I think our church had something to do with hosting the event. Anyway, I remember being backstage and playing with a new transformer toy I had got earlier in the day. I was back in the dressing room, and two gentlemen came in, it was W.V. Grant and his assistant. They looked at me like I was some stupid little kid (which I'm proud to say I was!) and just told me to "get out," in a harsh tone. Apparently they had to prepare in private for that particular evening's fabrications.
What I find most interesting in your post is that you say you are not religious and you apparently don't know much about christianity except that it has obvious credibility problems. What you might find surprising is that most christian denominations preach the exact opposite of what you are advising us to do: be tolerant of other people's differences.
Don't be misled by our ire and our candor. Most (if not all) of us have friends and/or relatives who are christians just like your grandmothers. So, believe me, we know how to allow room for difeerences.
I'd love to see a video on "prophets" like Kim Clement. My husband's cousin is a HUGE supporter and defender of this fraud. Does anyone have any information on this guy that exposes him as such? Hey Webmaster Dave, how about it?
LIFE INTO HIS.
Big woop.
From wikipedia:"A similar state with loss of external awareness and motor control occurs as the result of a variety of rituals and dances in various religious and cultural traditions; see the article on religious ecstasy, Many are of the opinion that these events can be explained by psychological antecedents which could be a variety of different feelings, like "fire","electricity", " holy laughter", or a "cool wind".
Similar experiences are also reported by those who experience a Kundalini awakening."
