I felt I needed to explain to you the Guyana reference.
I posted because you fabricated your own belief system. I therefore employed the reference to Guyana. Are you a charismatic influential leader as Jim Jones? I wouldn't believe so. Yet, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Smith Wigglesworth, William Branham, and a host of others too numerous to post here, have formulated their own doctrines. So, when you posted that you were going to plant churches in my backyard, and in Utah, I thought, that's nothing new. All you need is a building, and a sign, and you have a church. You can preach the most off the wall stuff and you will have followers. Because most of the known world joins a church that is as vanilla as the one they left. Or should I say their is a rear end for every pew seat?

That's as meaningless as someone saying they have black friends. Your experience is based on your preferences, thoughts and feelings. It's like a guy bad mouthing Harley Davidson because he use to own one or two. That's that mean the bike is a bad machine? Hardly, because we don't know what kind of maintenance he performed, what was the cause of his issues with the bike? Those issues must be factored. Anyway spending time in a university doesn't necessarily make you a PH.d, and spending time in a kitchen doesn't make you a gourmet chef.

My brother Esaias already responded to the above and I agree. So, no need to go any further.
