I browsed around on their Youtube channel for a bit. There are a few channels I like to watch a lot of... but this is NOT one of them. I would have the heck embarrassed out of me if I was associated with this channel.
I like to see what John is up to occasionally. From 1989 to 1996 I followed John fairly closely... just about the same amount of time I spent involved with TWI. I contributed to the Dialogue newsletter, and when he was on the road, John let me teach the fellowship that met in his home. At first, he wanted to save the things he considered good about TWI and get rid of what was bad. But there was no fear of the LORD before his eyes... he learned that from Wierwille... and he flattered himself so much that he lost the ability to distinguish what was good from what was bad (Psalm 36:1-4). I liked John as a person, but he's been gone off the rails for a long time.
So much so, that he thought Momentus was a good thing, and far too many peoples' lives were wrecked by it. John's cluelessness makes him dangerous, in the worst way.
In the last days of CES before the shift to Stiffy, John, John and Mark decided to host a seminar addressing various questions that people had brought up. I wrote and submitted a paper about how fallacious dispensationalism (Wierwille's "administrations") is. My paper was solid research. Instead of considering and rebutting viewpoints other than their own, they cancelled the seminar. I don't attribute their decision to my paper alone. There were others, too. The upshot of this paragraph is that the leaders of Stiffy and the Teenage Mutant Truth Fellowship have had an opportunity to seriously consider the truth about what they are teaching, and they deliberately chose to ignore that truth.
"GET A CHART! GET A LIFE!"
What kind of rallying cry is THAT! The rallying cry I taught to my seventh-grade students was "EXERCISE JUDGMENT!"
It struck me from the time I started to really question the things John says that he often makes the most audacious claims, unconsciously equating himself with God and the Word. "GET A CHART! GET A LIFE!" reminds me of Proverbs 4:20-23. Wisdom's words are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. There is nothing... and I mean NOTHING... on TMTF's chart that communicates the gospel of salvation... nothing that communicates life or health.
There is a fifteen minute video on the channel titled "Social Media Tips" about how to use the stickers on facebook. I thought "what is this? a clever scheme for promoting their group on facebook?" IT WASN'T! It was the most stupid, insipid, condescending drivel I've EVER viewed! John thinks he is being media savvy, but he is just once more demonstrating his cluelessness.
And the fact that Adam was a Gentile is some kind of ignorance-shattering revelation that will motivate people to take a class on THE END TIMES!!!! OH EM GEE
Love,
Steve
