 Once again.....good luck.

I wish you all the very best.....tying up the loose ends will be worth it in the long run, but try not to be in both camps for too long.

Once you decide to leave, the best thing is to go.....quickly and quietly.

People who 'walk out' tend to have more hang-ups than people who are 'kicked out', so be prepared for a few rocky patches.

Always remember that you are doing the right thing and God isn't to be found within the confines of the GRC. 

Cheers,

Glad

Dear  chrysanthemum,
       
                            It's a long long road you have walked down, all those years and tears. Do we say we wasted it all, I dare not say  "yes" but maybe it's better to say what we did or achieved along the way?  If we knew what was going to happen, the we would be predicting last nights Numbers ! I know now but I did join the GRC (was GRC at that time) it was because I had a genuine desire to walk in the Lord -  just like all the others. We didn't know then that there were pitfalls and traps if we stepped out of line , nor of the controlling Spiritual Abuse that were poured upon us.
                            Now it is a whole new ball game for you and some big long strides to take too, I wish you all the best in all your ventures and may God Bless   ...... 
" Those are my principles and if you don"t like them, I do have others" Come-On ! always tell the truth motmot

a branch of Revival Fellowship has been established in Geelong for just over 12 mths, and a few ex GRC people are attending, it  has also experienced significant growth without defectors from GRC. pretty well runs its meetings along similar lines as GRC, but not as strict or unrealistic as GRC. been told it was the original Revival centre that GRC splitt from.

So the same heresy but with less bullying.

Hello, Guest.

a branch of Revival Fellowship has been established in Geelong for just over 12 mths, and a few ex GRC people are attending, it  has also experienced significant growth without defectors from GRC. pretty well runs its meetings along similar lines as GRC, but not as strict or unrealistic as GRC. been told it was the original Revival centre that GRC splitt from. 'No', that simply can't be right. Everyone knows that the GRC is totally unique; different to all other forms of Revivalism.

Well such is certainly the claim that's been oft repeated on this part of the forum over the years, eh Tom? ;P

"been told it was the original Revival centre that GRC split from."

Hi Guest,

Like the GRC, Revival Fellowship was formed from a split in 1995 from (Longfield's) Revival Centre.  Longfield, himself a schismatic, split with National Revival Crusade in 1958, formed the Revival Centres and introduced the tongues = salvation doctrinal heresy.

Like the RCI and GRC the RF hold fast to the doctrine Longfield introduced and are similarly legalistic.  All three groups are antagonistic toward each other, are fully seperated from each other, as they are from all other churches.
Warning bells?

Scott Noble was made a pastor to begin an RF in Geelong. In competition they preach the same doctrine as the already present GRC and RCI.  He took with him a group of Sth Australians, all sanctioned of course by the RF Adelaide headquarters.  Scott's father is the one most likely to succeed John Kuhlmann as head of RF. 

I would tread carefully my friend.  Take heed of their frequent warnings to 'beware of wolves in sheep's clothing."
I did and got out of Revivalism for good.

More on the history of the Revival groups can be found in the Revival Churches History section on this website.

God Bless.

EV

Some thing that I have learned over the years from this web site is that you have to be kind to thoses followers and to some extent to the less  zealot pastors and elders.
For not only were we once blind and now we see but we will always hope thst others will also see the truth  to  power that Herbie has over the lives of thoses who follow him in the name of the god. And when we take out our grievances  on these people we may just be helping strengthen their resolve to stay. That is if they read about these aimoo posts.
And if you do good for you.
Not only this but those who follow us out of the grc may one day be we hope a new or new again friend .
But if we give them a hard time for giving us ahard time whilstt we were in we forget the grace and forgivness that we did learn whilst we were in and should not needed to learn whilst in but should be human nature from birth.

They more you control your life and the better off you will be.
Whilst this is not true for everyone it is true for most people. And when you leave the grc you have tooften learn or relearn to use this control over your life. One of the reasons that I left the grc is this very lack ofcontrol over my life. I got angry at being stopped or judged by the over sight about what I was doing or wanted to do to improve my life. 
And being told where to go and when and given the why as some sort of judtification that allowed them to order me  around like a puppet.only why that mattered. 
So relearning to control your why or why not is going to take some time depending on many factors. 
But it sounds like you're of to a good start.
