Daily Deprogramming

I spent my first 35 years as a Jehovahs Witness. The verse from Revelation 21:5 was a verse they used to promote their doctrines of everlasting life on earth.  It reads, “And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold I shall make All Things New, and he said unto me, Write for these words are faithful and true.”   ”All Things New”  reminds me of  a hymn which they sang and I loved.  I could plink it out with my right hand , on the old  piano we had.  The first verse went something like his: Oh Walk with God and you will find how He can cheer your way;  And lead you with a peaceful mind straight on to perfect day; His joy will strengthen you as dew ,revives the drooping flower, His mercies are each morning new, and fresh at evening hour…. 

 I loved the words then and I still love them. The words are true, but they come from a cult. They come from a cult that doesn’t recognize Jesus Christ as God.  A cult that doesn’t believe when we die we will go to heaven.  A cult that believes that only Jehovahs Witness will survive the battle of Armegeddon and Born Again Christians are evil.  They call themselves, “Christians.” They’re a mixed up bunch for sure but many are sincere. Sincerity and a measure of truth does not a Christian make.

Then we read Ardith Keef’s Daily Devotional this morning. It says a lot of good things, however I believe she is much more responsible before God than the JW’s  because she knows these things.  She claims to know Jesus Christ as her Savior ,and believes that she has His  Authority to teach others  when she has been married 5 or six times and three times to Christians who are still living. This is unscriptural, (why is it ok for Ardith Keef to lead  and teach others after multiple divorces, and not ok for others? )  

Her life  pattern of divorce and remarriage,  over and over,  makes the foundation  of  everything she teaches false and cultish, and her doctrines are twisted with erroneous ideas just like the JW’s , because her teachings are rooted in her lack of respect for the Word of God.  It is a “do as I say, not as I do”, ministry.  She may show all kinds of respect for the Word in what she writes and teaches, but her actions prove otherwise. There is some Truth to what she says, but the mixture is lethel,  and is only a few superficial thoughts, and grandiose ideas,  stirred up with a little truth, much like “some experiment in a pietre dish.”  

The proof is in  tasting  and testing the fruit, brothers and sisters, not in all her smooth and  pretty, godly sounding words. The fruit of the  leadership of the Anchor Church is abysmal, filled with filth and bruises.  Their apples are filled with dead and deadly worms.  The skin is dried up and cracking. Inside it is even more decayed, then outside, but it is now showing through. The rotting fruit of: emotional and spiritual abuse and affliction of innocent people, Broken homes, divorces, shunning missionaries, discarding mates, secret annointings of women, seperating children from siblings, breaking up churches, counseling people then marrying their husband, taking other Christians to court,  lying and bearing false witness, becoming surrigate parents after dishonoring the real  and faithful ones,  abandoning aging and dying mothers….When you mix these with Truth, what do you get?  Hypocricy at it’s worst! Disgusting isn’t it?

All Things are Not New at the Anchor Missionary Fellowship Church.  Ardith Keef’s  teachings are simply  a mixture, and  the same old garbage satan has dished out to believers for centuries, trying to deceive them into following something other than the Untainted Truth, Jesus Christ and Him alone.  The deceiver,  has a stench all his own, it is easily recognizable after being cast out of two cults.   The teachings of Ardith Keef are a deadly blend of truth and lies at best.  Her doctrines are  a perfect example of how the devil can stealthily change a group of people from serving the Lord into  obeying something that is his agenda , with a  hidden mixture that is lethel to the Christian.  All it takes is a pride-filled charismatic person who thinks they know everything , wise in their own eyes, and a bunch of gullible religious zealots, and there you have it!  Fruit fit for the devil!!  And a cult in the making!
