Date Posted：19/01/2006 9:09 AMCopy HTML $%*'`[Deep Throat Mole]%*'`@"Pastor Simon" is alleged to have said (words to the effect that) "when people leave RCI they frequently bag individual pastors/house leaders but they are unable to criticise the doctrine" (presumably because it is 100% correct)Not so sure about BI myself!.Deep

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：01/04/2012 2:05 AMCopy HTML I think it's sad, that the RCI don't have a 25th Dec meeting, The church should have Sunday as the lords day 52 times a year, the sabbath, so "the world" still influence's the church, and all you good RCI people go have the 25th day off from the lords day and mix it with your worldly friends, giving presents to their pagan beliefs, the RCI will accommodate you on this worldly belief. Stand up RCI and don't let these worldly things into the church, Christ never did Godspeed Apprentice Spirit searcher

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：24/12/2012 1:27 AMCopy HTML The Mole understands that during Simon's sermon on the evils of commercialised Christmas he gave a spray to those who could not be bothered to think of an appropriate present for someone and resorted to a gift voucher.
After his homily Simon called up a visting Canadian pastor and his family for their testimonies. the Canuck kicked off with the statement that they had obtained a gift voucher for Simon but after hearing his views on the topic they has destroyed it. Canada 1, Simon Nil ! The Mole will be at Midnight Mass as usual on Christmas day. Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：01/01/2013 3:15 AMCopy HTML Hi, Mole.
I'm surprised. Given that the RCI stands apart from the entire Church in their dismissing of Christmas outright from the Christian calendar, I find it somewhat amusing that Simon would comment on the commercialising of the celebration one way or the other! Also, that he would do so presents the impression that he is accepting of a 'true' meaning for Christmas after all (which is bolstered even further by the Follow the Star display put on at the sect's headquarters). What would Lloyd have made of all this?! ;) Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

I could not reconcile the FTS display with that fact that there is no service on Christmas day from the first time that it was presented. Something else that occurred to me while reading Ian's post was that RCI does not commemorate either the birth or death of Christ, the doors being closed on Good Friday as well. In conjunction with one of the previous FTS presentation they had a carols concert to which Mrs Mole invited friends of ours, doing her recruitment duty. After the concert one of the greeters at the back asked the husband how he liked to show and in response John asked what time the Christmas day service was to take place. A short silence then eventually there was some stammered reply about no show because everyone would be getting ready to go the camp the next day. Mrs Mole advises that Richard, the bloke who has organised FTS up to now has stated that he won't be putting up his hand next time so we may not see this event in the future. Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：29/01/2013 11:46 AMCopy HTML Well said Ian that is exactly right. They are nothing but `Longfieldians` and that is the sum of it...... the Longfield cult for sure- sadly leading many (or not so many these days thankfully) astray....

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：01/02/2013 11:06 PMCopy HTML Sadly, whenever I've asked Revivalists, "what makes you different from everyone else?" In about 95% of the cases, the answer doesn't include the words, 'Jesus Christ'.
It is sad. The eternal purpose of God centres on Jesus Christ. All blessings come through him. Any attempt to separate the Father from the Son and the Spirit in election, or to move the attention in the Christian doctrine of salvation from the person and work of Christ, is unbiblical and therefore harmful (Milne). Revivalists do exactly this by promoting tongues along with receiving the Holy Spirit as the means of salvation. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：06/02/2013 10:03 AMCopy HTML Mrs Mole reports that Simon announced last Sunday that there was a new Assembly in Monrovia, Liberia with 30 members. Not sure whether this is another franchise operation.

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：27/08/2013 3:39 AMCopy HTML Last Sunday PR Bruce Judkins is alleged to have given a spray to those who arrived "late" i.e during the choruses saying that they should arrive at twenty to two and not twenty past.
According to the page in Wikipedia participation in the choruses is optional but maybe Bruce hasn't read the Wikipedia entry lately. The Mole reckons that two choruses before the "talk" would be more than enough which is probably why he does not go there very often and prays that Mrs Mole will see the light eventually. Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：27/08/2013 10:40 AMCopy HTML Hi, Mole.
Perhaps instead of 'spraying' Mr Judkins should be thanking his lucky stars that anyone turns up at all! If the 'folk' were to visit a Christian church, and were to experience the freedom, grace and love firsthand, they'd never darken a Revivalist hall again. Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：24/01/2014 6:57 AMCopy HTML Last Sunday Simon is alleged to have complained about not being able to get good help these days in that nobody wants to be pastors, house leaders or chorus leaders and he added that he had been trying to get a pastor for Adelaide for the last fifteen years.
If he looked at the unseen female half of the membership as many Christian Churches now do he would double his pool of prospective candidates. With regard to Adelaide how about having a go there yourself Simon and let Victor mind the shop for a year or two? Another thing that Mrs Mole mentioned was that a wedding was not held in the Box Hill hall because the best man and one of the groomsmen were persona non grata and not permitted inside the building, possible due to their own cohabitation with persons with whom they were not joined in holy matrimony. Cheers Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：21/05/2014 5:18 AMCopy HTML Mrs Mole advises that the latest ""outreach" will be a carwash that will take place on Sundays and not conclude until after 2.30PM and the coffee will be served in the mezzanine so the punters can watch the choruses and if the stay long enough experience the talks.
Heaven forbid that some of them actually stay long enough for the "tongues"and pröphesy" bit! Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：30/05/2014 6:19 AMCopy HTML Mrs Mole advises that an elderly lady reprimanded Simon as the carwash would mean working on the Sabbath and not in line with the ten commandments. Simon's reply was someting along the lines of now that we are saved we are always one with God so the Sabbath is no different to any other day.
Mrs Mole is starting to mention the one with God bit with some regularity now as well. Mole |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：30/05/2014 9:58 AMCopy HTML Hi D-T-M.
I remember that 'quip' in their doctrine. I wonder if Simon really knows the meaning "to be one with God" or in what context does he take it in scripture? I was led to believe, just because we 'babbled in tongues' and got 'dunked under the water', we had the Holy Spirit making us equal to God and therefore made us one with him. Suggest to Mrs Mole to ask Simon what it really means to be 'one with God'. 'care Bib. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：30/11/2014 5:32 AMCopy HTML Just referring to the blog back in Jan. Hypocrites the lot of them as there are many in the church who have had sex out of wedlock ( fornicated) and who are still in the church and still been allowed to be married at church (that law was not retrospective, so everyone could stay in who had fornicated prior) .There are also very senior pastors who have wavered from the path and had to get married who are still preaching and still pastors ......hypocrites the lot of them! I was recently interstate and a senior oversight there was talking about this - the comment was something like ' sooner or later many in the church will have to choose... How can you have fornicators in charge of the church especially with our doctrine of putting all fornicators out of the church permanently and banning them from attending other churches' ......and that was on top of the Gold Coast rally which opening preached that it is better for these people to go nowhere rather than any other church ... Less they pollute if too!
This is a subject that is taboo and only whispered about, but people are getting more fed up with the hypocrasy and therefore becoming more vocal.... |

Re：Simon Says Date Posted：07/04/2016 12:20 PMCopy HTML The other day Simon alighted briefly on a verse in the Old Testament in the middle of an account of some wrong doing under the influence of alcohol and he commented that when "some people" had asked him why RCI did not use wine for the communion service he was able to direct them to that passage as an indication of the evils of alcohol and which was why RCI members were expected to abstain.
So what happened to the "wine means grape juice" line that they have been running? Mole |
