A few emails this week about our work in exposing deceptive spirituality are in mind as we share upon the privilege to shed the light of truth upon the dark of deception that Spiritwatch MInistries strives to provide. We do what we do for a reason -- and speaking truth loud and clear is behind that commitment.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Matthew 7:13 NKJV We are still going somewhere. We briefly revisit that chief concern about our dangerous times and give an update and what we will be soon doing in our ongoing discerning of them.
Megan James was quite literally born into the Xenos movement, when it was morphing from it’s original early 1970’s Fish House Fellowship days into the form of an actual church complete with polity, budgets and a primal need to start replicating its vision through private church educational institution. Her parents were caught up into the social and intellectual draw of the group, and she was one of the very first specimens that were dissected in the religious machinery cobbled together by Xenos to educate it’s young, even calling herself and her childhood peers the “prototypes” of their work. This ominously mechanistic verbiage, sadly, would be all too accurate as we shall see. This is the second of 2 90 minute parts. WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT MAY CAUSE TRIGGERING FOR SURVIVORS OF RELIGIOUS AND SEXUAL ABUSE.

The recent emergence of Michael Shamblin from the shadowy exile he took after quitting his involvement with the Remnant Fellowship cult circles which his late mother Gwen Shamblin Lara created has focused attention on the movement once again. Clearly identifying Remnant as a cult, Michael's confirming epiphany is rocking it to its core, even as it struggles to regain stability and even viability in the face of a seriously uncertain future. On our Spiritwatch stream, we are glad to host Richard and Terasee Morris with Doug and Sherry Vasey, four former members of the Remnant as they are sharing their views on the state of the Remnant movement and its legacy.
