John 8:32 : "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."In case the persecution theme is retaught again in the different CAI groups, here is something to think about for those CAI members who have the courage to "take a look at both sides of a story":
Those who have been around in CAI would remember Scott Williams "prophesying" at the different
HVs that:
- "one day the police will come... and there will be persecution...etc."
- "one day, the press will write about us... saying that some men in the assembly are gays... who will you believe then ? The press or your overseer?...etc."
Would Scott Williams then be a real prophet, a person who can give prophecies, explaining what will happen in the future?Well, to help CAI members to answer this question, here are a few questions for them to ponder upon:
- Would you say that a thief, who had broken into houses and stolen things years ago, is a prophet when he says : "one day the police will come to pick me up and say that I am a thief"?- Would you say that a man who has sexually abused people is a prophet when he says : "one day the police will come, the press will write and say that I sexually abused people... who will you believe then? The police, the press or me..."?No
wonder Scott Williams could "prophecy" about the police and the press
when he himself knew that what he had done is against the law! http://www.dailyexaminer.com.au/story/2009/07/18/pastor-charged-with-sex-crimes-on-parishioners/Is it not normal for a man who has sexually abused someone to be charged by the police? What would you do if it would be your child who had been sexually abused? Should Scott be treated differently than any other citizen?
How come then that the CAI leadership does not agree with Scott being charged although Scott himself said in the past that Catholic priests who had done the same should be prosecuted?
But now CAI members are told that persecution is coming...!!!
The question is : from who and why is the so-called "persecution" coming? Is it not from Scott Williams who should not have done what he did?!!!
Is it for CAI members to pay the price for what Scott did and which is against the law? Is it for CAI members to pay Scott Williams' lawyers?
Those who have clearly read the following article about CAI would realise that it gives more facts rather than exaggerated description about CAI members:
http://www.coffscoastadvocate.com.au/story/2009/07/17/cai-cult-linked-by-the-internet/This article was not written to hurt CAI members, but to give facts about what represents CAI in Coffs Harbour : a huge property with many riches, wired fences, etc... Anyway, the type of church which you can read in the Bible, can't ya? ;-)
Was God more interested about the Temple and its gold, or rather the people and their problems?Well, we know now what happened to the Temple in Jerusalem! Did Christ come to build huge properties with gold, Rolex, manicured gardens, penthouse flats, etc.? Or did He come to help
the poor and the needy?
Instead, Scott Williams and his acolytes (those who hold the finances and know more than any normal CAI member) get thousands of dollars to buy top grass and other expensive stuff in case the Queen might pass by one day.... Hmmmm, and all this doesn't profit at all to the needy, does it?
So the questions for the remaining CAI members are: - Do you prefer to be like germans in WW2 believing Hitler till the end? Do you need the americans to prove to you all the atrocities which the Hitler regime did? Do you still fear Scott Williams' authority and prefer to blindly believe him on everything he says, and pay then the price with him because of your blind trust and submission???
- Or can you listen to your conscience, seek for the truth and "look at both sides of a story" as the Bible says? Do you have the courage to question Scott and Michy' sayings, seeking proofs, facts, etc.???
John 8:32 : "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
