#newapostolic

Sooo I don't know if this is a smart thing to do but

Recently, I've been kinda struggling of always feeling like the only one in my position which I am very sure is not true.

But I wonder if there are any other ex newapostolic queers out there who still identify as christians, just not as extreme as before?

I know that my former church is not big. I'm still sure I cannot be the only one who left. And is queer. And still believes. While deconstructing.

Für die nicht-so Englischsprachigen; Ich glaube eigentlich nicht, dass ich die einzige queere Ex-NAKI im Dekonstruktions-Prozess bin, die trotz allem noch irgendwo christlich glaubt. Und ich würde echt gern mit anderen in Kontakt treten.

So if you are out there, feel free to react to this post and/or dm me~

Rick Perry's Army of God - On September 28, 2009, at 1:40 p.m., God’s messengers visited Rick Perry.

On this day, the Lord’s messengers arrived in the form of two Texas pastors, Tom Schlueter of Arlington and Bob Long of San Marcos, who called on Perry in the governor’s office inside the state Capitol. Schlueter and Long both oversee small congregations, but they are more than just pastors. They consider themselves modern-day apostles and prophets, blessed with the same gifts as Old Testament prophets or New Testament apostles.

The movement’s top prophets and apostles believe they have a direct line to God. Through them, they say, He communicates specific instructions and warnings. [...] Their beliefs can tend toward the bizarre. Some consider Freemasonry a “demonic stronghold” tantamount to witchcraft. The Democratic Party, one prominent member believes, is controlled by Jezebel and three lesser demons. Some prophets even claim to have seen demons at public meetings.

[What] makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government. The new prophets and apostles believe Christians—certain Christians—are destined to not just take “dominion” over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the “Seven Mountains” of society, including the media and the arts and entertainment world. They believe they’re intended to lord over it all. As a first step, they’re leading an “army of God” to commandeer civilian government.

In Rick Perry, they may have found their vessel. And the interest appears to be mutual.
