the following is an exchange of 3 emails between an elder in my wife's congregation and me.
it's a hispanic congregation in los angeles area:.
is it a cult or not??.
Psssst...your names are showing.
Interesting exchange of e-mails.
However, that initial e-mail, talking about taking Satan's side, will just shut down an active cult member. They won't listen to anything you have to say once you say something like that.
If your objective is just to rile the elder up, then mission accomplished.
If your objective is to get him to listen to you, then I don't think your approach will work very well.
here it talks about the: "second stage of public hearing into catholic church authorities in ballarat":.

do you not judge those inside, 13 while god judges those outside?

It produces thrust by using solar power to generate multiple microwaves that move back and forth in an enclosed chamber. This means that until something fails or wears down, theoretically the engine could keep running forever without the need for rocket fuel.
