Well said, Piper! Christians and non-Christians alike get deceived. IMHO "Christians" need to study the Bible more so
learn how to not so easily be swayed. As a Christian or anyone else for that matter, we attempt gaurd ourselves against
being deceived, but it still happens. The more I learn of what the Bible teaches, the less I get trapped in some
worldly lie like Quixtar...but it still happens to some degree. Because I am an imperfect person living in an imperfect
world, I still let my desparation for a "way out' of my "financial delima" get me in Quixtar for a short time. I thank
God I got a "revelation"
just about any common belief than can to twist to their advantage.

actually it seems to be typical, many MLMS claim to be "Christian" based organizations. It seems there are people in
them who are Christians and who have "good intentions" to help people but after a while - who are you really helping
and what guise are you doing it under? Meaning, once you're in that MLMbrainwashed mentality everything gets distorted
including your faith.

Subject: [MLM Survivors Club] The "Jesus" Twist -- Rant on Religion and MLM's
All right, time for another rant.
I don't think I mentioned this in my original post, but the more I
think on it, the more irritated I'm getting.
Apparently, Jesus "wants" me to do LTD. This is the latest info I've
gotten. LTD is apparently a "Christian" based organization. This is
the latest argument that has been used to er...tempt me to join.
My friends know that I have a strong faith, and they've sunk to new
lows by telling me that Jesus has led me to this opportunity -- I'm
struggling very hard by the way, to not put everything in "" because
of how stupid it all sounds -- and how He would never want me to be
a failure in life.
*Deep breath...count to ten...temper still boiling....*
Also, during meetings, LTD has what are apparently called "ALTER
CALLS"...I'm Catholic so I have no clue what those are, but
apparently this is where you are invited to come up on stage and
accept Jesus Christ as your savior.
During a "business meeting". Procaiming you are saved by the big J.C.
...
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Is this typical of an MLM, or is this LTD just it's own special
brand of crazy?
