Many want to be the next gurus and innovators of religious thought and social media has given a platform for such ones to become the next Maria and Charles Russell's, Ellen G White's, and Joseph Smiths. We see itt in the Mormon activist community with Shawn McCraney and Kathy and Lee Baker. We see it in the ex-JW activist community with Nathaniel Merrit, Mike and Kim, David Vose, and Daniel Halls. It is more common now with the rise of social media to develop a CULT LIKE following while hypocritically denouncing the cult they came from.   

Gus Astacio, former Jehovah's Witness talks about his dramatic conversion. Gus is from a long line of JWs and knows a great deal about the history of the organisation. He is now a (non-JW) Christian.

This Christmas an unpleasent surprise cultic heretical gift made an appearence in the ex-Jehovah's Witness community. Marcion was raised from the dead (no not literally rather metaphorically) clothed with an even more foreboding attack on sacred scripture and "ALL Christians from ALL denominations" as the culprits put it. The claim was the OT God Yahweh is covertly Satan. Today we will go through what Jesus preached about Himself .
