Today Ardith Keef tries to reign in the troops by telling them that one of the “finer things” God says should be at the top of your list is “your decision to ignore public opinion.” I have never heard that before! I never read it in the Word of God either! It’s not there. It’s a ploy to get someone to comply. A mere cult tactic.
“What is your limit?” she asks. “If a limit exists, it is indicative of a serious spiritual problem.” Then as usual she has an “issue.” (Ardith Keef has a different “issue” every day, it seems.) She says, “Here is the issue: there is nothing but God’s Word. There is no one but the Lord. I know it and you know it. If that is true, then we must obey, for there is no other way!!”
Watch out for cult leaders with forked tongues! They might say on the one hand that it’s “on the top of God’s list” that you should “ignore public opinion”, then from the other side of their mouths they get their followers to lie and pretend to change positions in mid -stream in order to protect the very same cult leaders, from being seen as they truly are at a very “public” court hearing. In short they tell their followers to “ignore public opinion,” but they protect themselves publicly at all costs to you. Jesus hated hypocrites and pretenders! He called them liars and let them know it in no uncertain terms. He called them offspring of vipers! After our experience, I can understand why.
Lately some of Anchor Missionary Fellowship’s best shunners have pretended nothing ever happened when they see someone from our family. You can almost see their strings! It is a pathetic example of cult brainwashing, and the searing of a conscience, and even a numbness in the basic decision making processes, seeming to have no mind of their own. These followers are now implicated before God as liars and pretenders , in the image of their leaders. Do these leaders not know they might fool a judge, they might fool even some of the public, but they cannot fool God! He sees the schemes and strategy’s, the manipulations, the pretense, the lies, the hypocricy! Who does this resemble? Certainly not God!
Is there no limit to the depths a cult leader will sink to manipulate their poor followers to suit their own purposes? No, as we have seen with the likes of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and many like them, there are no limits for these kinds of people! They twist the Word of God as they twist the minds of their followers. As if in a vise, their “servants” are held, firmly gripped by fear, looking up to their “masters” for “direction.” These false leaders get their followers to move in any direction they choose , by bullying them with such things as Ardith Keef does today when she asks, ” What is your limit? If a limit exists, it is indicative of a serious spiritual problem.” This creates passivity and compliance.
These behaviors on the part of cult leaders are frightening! Cults escalate often to violence in the name of God, while adhering in words to peace, love and obeying the Word of God. Ardith Keef asks today, “Are you willing to die for Him? This is a question you must consider in prayer.” This ought to make anyone who cares sit up and take notice! When a member can be changed in personality from outright hostility to glib and insincere feigned friendly behavior, to follow the orders of a cult leader theres no telling to what levels that cult will sink.
When a leader who claims to obey God, to love God, to love His Truth, is driven to manipulate and strategise, and influence others to lie and pretend, for the cult leader’s own vain ends and base advantage, there is a “serious problem” with both person’s thinking! When a leader would rather let a whole church suffer, let little children be divided from their family, shun and slander old friends, encourage Christian divorces without Biblical grounds, dishonor parents, take others to court , abuse whole families, rather than sit down and reason together, “this is indicative of a SERIOUS SPIRITUAL PROBLEM!” When it looks like a cult, smells like a cult, feels like a cult, sounds like a cult, acts like a cult, IT’S A CULT!”
The Word of God says to “test the spirit” of anything to find out if it’s source is from God. Every time we write a rebuttal, we test the spirit ,and find Ardith Keef’s writings are not from a true source. The writings are manipulative, strategic, self serving , and twist the Word of God for her own ends. We do these rebuttals for the good of unsuspecting souls who are easily carried away into darkness by such writings. We do it because we care deeply about all involved and their spiritual journey, including their final outcome. Above all we do it because we love the Lord and He says we are obligated to speak out if we see a brother or sister going in the wrong way.
