Here's a recent one from the Tomax website. This guy seems to be pretty sure of himself. Your comments are welcome, just remember I'm the messenger not the teacher....ok?
Here goes.....
March 2006 - I found your website interesting I attended Faith Assembly from 1972-1987. You say you set under the teaching and were there 8 times. You seem to have some insight on what went on, but not much. You had to go there and you had to agree 100% with teaching to be in good standings. My wife and I did that .
Agree with every word that came out of the “Prophet’s” mouth. We left in '87 what a breath of fresh air. I am not bitter about experience we had. I knew all the ministers and find it interesting how it has unraveled. The faith concept is correct, it needs common sense mixed with it. Hobart Freeman was the problem, he was not in touch with his followers and made many recorded statements that were way off the chart.
I did all the studies, Hebrew, Greek, and everything that was offered. After leaving I found out I was not superior to any other Christian. God still loves us and I have found purpose in life that living Christianity is better than just talking and studying the ”deep” things of God. I hope that for many who left that they get mental healing, I still see some former FA people that can’t figure it out. Gods grace, mercy, and love were not a part of FA teaching. Interesting website brought back many memories.

My experience was like this. It was fear that lead me to him and now its love that makes me serve him.
However the only reason I feared him was that grace was given to me so my eyes were opened to see what a miserable wretch I was. Without that grace I never would have had that Godly fear that leads to repentance.

Sure of myself? Well not really, I used to very introverted and insecure.
More like Phil 4:13..."I can do all things through Christ"
Someone mentioned about not seeing any miracles at FA, well I am one, I can stand up for myself now. I actually teach at colleges and various training centres...that means standing up in front of people and teaching.
Guess that isn't too spectacular, but I know inside me things have changed because of Jesus and His Blood.
cheers
