CHURCH CENSORSHIP
By Van Robison
As a former member of the religious system of local institutional churches, I can well remember that listening to “sermons” or reading the literature or material of anyone outside of your "local church affiliation” was discourage or in some cases, even forbidden.
“Pastors” would say "don't believe me, believe your Bible", but then the cult would tell its members not to listen to anyone other than their own church leaders. What motive would any religious leader or group have to censor alternative opinions, books, reading material or vocal lectures, unless there was FEAR that they might lose members to alternative possibilities? Living in a cult cocoon stifles the ability of anyone to learn that there is a vast world outside of the cocoon.
Many religious leaders, religious organizations and political groups hate FREEDOM of thought. Cult religious groups insist that they and they alone are the bearers of "truth." Even human governments live in perpetual FEAR of losing their power and control over the common people.
Propaganda, disinformation and distortion, suppression, silence and twisting of facts and truth are common in the world in which we live.
How many members of local institutional churches cower in fear that they might be found out, but who secretly read websites such as the one you are reading now. If any such reader is reading on these types of websites, let me encourage you that the world is vastly bigger and greater than any “church group” can imagine.
It is only when a human being steps outside of their comfort zone that they come face to face with the FACT that there are possibilities about God, the Bible, life on earth and existence that are light-years beyond the confines of cult mentality. There are dimensions of thinking that will leave a human being speechless, when anyone with a little courage "risks" learning beyond the censorship of the confines of self-appointed "ministers" of local churches.
Life on earth DOES NOT revolve around “church” and “pastors” who think they stand between God and their members. Censorship of views and perspectives that differ with "accepted" views is a tool of tyranny.
Censorship is common in “church life” among the religious rulers, as much as it is common in the world of politics and other matters in human life. Anyone who differs with the status quo is naturally and automatically demonized by those who do not want alternative views expressed. The primary tool used by those who censor, is to demonize, terrorize, ridicule, assassinate the character of opposition, cause fear, cause guilt, make people think that truth is evil, and belittle opposing views.
History is rife with examples of those who were burned at the stake, tortured and put to death for no other reason than that their expression of their own thoughts about issues engendered animosity from the "elite" rulers who hated opposition.
We all know that Jesus Christ was the greatest Whistleblower the world has ever known, and He exposed the religious frauds for what they were and are---WOLVES!
BEWARE!
