Some posters just can’t stand it that somebody found Christianity….

Nobody said anything negative about Christianity but born again is extremist

It doesn’t have to be. I’m not born again, but even I know you can live a pretty normal life. Stop being bigoted.

If she was going for Christianity she would just get baptized in a normal church and practice chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

But she didn’t. She got baptized in an evangelical church and it’s time to monetize.

You have zero evidence anybody is monetizing anything.

Really? There is no evidence churches monetize? Are you that daft?

OK, Sherlock, give us evidence that her church is monetizing this. TIA.

She posted her baptism on divide media. You don’t understand how social media works? You don’t understand it makes money?

So everyone posting on socials make money off their family, the pictures of the kids, etc.

She is allowed to talk and post about her faith online. Somehow she’s the person you are singling out as a grifter because she’s “posting online.”

I think you just don’t want people to see her transformation and new attitude in life. She’s taken out her fillers and started tattoo removal. She’s prioritizing her health and her kids, and turning over a new leaf. But somehow she gets called ugly here (that post was removed but wow) and attacked for her church monetizing her. Nobody knows what church she attends.

According to this thread, Angela has to not tell anyone about her religion, delete all social media, and then they will approve of her new life. She’s been declared bi-polarish and called an extremist in this thread.

Nope.

Nobody called her ugly.

Everybody is happy she is doing what makes her happy but unfortunately she has attached herself to an extremist religious sect opening her to be abused again.

The moderator removed the post that said “she is one ugly woman.”

When she was stripping and posting sexually explicit content on OnlyFans, no Christian posted here condemning her. However, now she’s changing her life, she is being condemned and judged by the atheists and anti-theists here as ugly, money hungry, bi-polar, and an extremist cult member. And more than one poster has said they wish she was still engaging in sexual acts that make her feel degraded and unhappy, because they personally like that behavior and approve of her being an unhappy sex toy for the internet.

And she is being judged for supposedly lying and and not telling her correct truth about being happy. (How would anyone know?) These judgments are being made upon her here not by Christians.

Nobody is judging her people are concerned about an extreme swing to a cultish church.

Why can’t people show concern?

Go to any college campus and they warn you about cults, it would be nice if someone can save her from that pain before she is too deep.

What church does she attend? How do you know if it’s a cult?

General groupings of cults:

-Doomsday cults: Certain cults come together to prepare for the allegedly imminent end of the world. For instance, the Branch Davidians stockpiled firearms and explosives in a Waco, Texas, compound over the 1980s and ’90s to prepare for the apocalypse. This led to an infamous standoff with the federal government.

-Political cults: Political groups on both the left and right can morph into cults.

-Religious cults: Spiritual beliefs serve as the bedrock for many cults. Some cults are offshoots of mainline religions while others offer brand-new dogmas and theology.

-Sex cults: All types of cults might have a component of sexual abuse, but some focus on sex as one of their primary functions. For instance, New York–based NXIVM encouraged rampant sexual behavior between its group members before dissolving.

Notorious cults:

Heaven’s Gate: Inspired by the Book of Revelation, Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite formed Heaven’s Gate as a doomsday cult with a focus on UFOs. In 1997, all the members died by mass suicide in an effort to ride a comet passing by the Earth.
The Peoples Temple: Jim Jones, a charismatic preacher from the United States, formed the Peoples Temple to spread his own flavor of Christianity before moving to Guyana. There, he founded Jonestown, a compound for his religious group of followers. They died by mass suicide in 1978.

The Unification Church: A new religious movement that began in South Korea, The Unification Church spread to the rest of the world. All adherents follow the teachings of Sun Myung Moon.

What Makes It a Cult?
The answer depends on how you define the word and to whom you are talking. For
purposes of liberal religious examination, this is our working definition of a cult:
A religion or sect, generally considered to be extremist or false, under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader for whom members exhibit fixed, even religious, veneration.
Groups that meet this definition tend to have an escalating negative impact on the lives of followers. These groups exhibit many common characteristics:
 One charismatic leader is the group's sole authority on truth; only this leader decides, or has the right to approve, all policies and practices.
 Members are zealous, protective, and unquestioningly committed to the leader.
 Members regard the leader's beliefs and practices as truth and law; the leader
affirms and enforces this idea.
 Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or punished.
 The group's leadership dictates how members should think, act, and feel. Members require the leader's permission to change jobs, date, marry, or have children. The leader tells members where they can live and how to teach and discipline their children.
 The group uses public humiliation or punishment, debilitating work, sleep deprivation, or other practices to create group-think and to suppress individualism and doubt.
 Criticism or jokes about the leader or group are taken very seriously and likely punished.
 The group is elitist, claiming special status for itself, its leaders, and its members.
 The leader and members maintain theirs is the only path to truth and salvation.

 Insist that their own thoughts and feelings be respected, but are not respectful of others' thoughts and feelings
 Blame the victim for inciting abuse: "You made me do it."
 Generally will not take responsibility—constantly blame everyone and everything
but themselves
 Keep people isolated by preventing or discouraging contact with friends or family
 Shove, push, block the way, or stand or behave in a threatening manner
 Threaten to hurt people or their friends or family
 Discount other people's worth and opinions
 Encourage dependence; tell others they cannot get along by themselves
 Control access to finances, telephones, television, computer, cars, and other family resources
 Criticize, devalue, insult, humiliate, and otherwise make people feel small, worthless, stupid, clumsy, helpless, unwanted, or inferior
 Use intimidation or manipulation to get their way and control people
 Abuse or threaten to abuse pets
 Destroy or threaten to destroy things other people value

 Act distrustfully; intrude on privacy (e.g., barging in, reading mail)
 Withhold conversation or affection to control or punish
 Exhibit jealousy; make unfounded accusations
 Have unpredictable outbursts of anger or rage
 Cite authoritative sources to justify their oppressive behavior (e.g., quoting a religious text to justify physical punishment or assert superiority)

Mainstream Christians do not belong to cults.

Not by your definition

Religious cults: Spiritual beliefs serve as the bedrock for many cults. Some cults are offshoots of mainline religions while others offer brand-new dogmas and theology.

key words: offshoots, brand-new

I don’t define cults. People with way more education, expertise, and knowledge do.

Evangelical is an off shot, born again is new.

Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that affirms the centrality of being "born again", in which an individual experiences personal conversion; the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity (biblical inerrancy); and spreading the Christian message. The word evangelical comes from the Greek (euangelion) word for "good news".

Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including Pietism and Radical Pietism, Puritanism, Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Moravianism.

As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3–7).

Being born again means being made new in Christ.

Protestant is an OFFSHOOT of Catholicism.
Evangelicalism is an OFFSHOOT of protestant, an extreme sect of Protestant.
Born again religions were founded in the 1960s.

It’s your definition

Jimmy Carter was the first President of the United States to publicly declare that he was born-again, in 1976. By the 1980 campaign, all three major candidates stated that they had been born again.

Heaven’s Gate: Inspired by the Book of Revelation, Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite formed Heaven’s Gate as a doomsday cult with a focus on UFOs. In 1997, all the members died by mass suicide in an effort to ride a comet passing by the Earth.
The Peoples Temple: Jim Jones, a charismatic preacher from the United States, formed the Peoples Temple to spread his own flavor of Christianity before moving to Guyana. There, he founded Jonestown, a compound for his religious group of followers. They died by mass suicide in 1978.

The Unification Church: A new religious movement that began in South Korea, The Unification Church spread to the rest of the world. All adherents follow the teachings of Sun Myung Moon.

What Makes It a Cult?
The answer depends on how you define the word and to whom you are talking. For
purposes of liberal religious examination, this is our working definition of a cult:
A religion or sect, generally considered to be extremist or false, under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader for whom members exhibit fixed, even religious, veneration.
Groups that meet this definition tend to have an escalating negative impact on the lives of followers. These groups exhibit many common characteristics:
 One charismatic leader is the group's sole authority on truth; only this leader decides, or has the right to approve, all policies and practices.
 Members are zealous, protective, and unquestioningly committed to the leader.
 Members regard the leader's beliefs and practices as truth and law; the leader
affirms and enforces this idea.
 Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or punished.
 The group's leadership dictates how members should think, act, and feel. Members require the leader's permission to change jobs, date, marry, or have children. The leader tells members where they can live and how to teach and discipline their children.
 The group uses public humiliation or punishment, debilitating work, sleep deprivation, or other practices to create group-think and to suppress individualism and doubt.
 Criticism or jokes about the leader or group are taken very seriously and likely punished.
 The group is elitist, claiming special status for itself, its leaders, and its members.
 The leader and members maintain theirs is the only path to truth and salvation.

 Insist that their own thoughts and feelings be respected, but are not respectful of others' thoughts and feelings
 Blame the victim for inciting abuse: "You made me do it."
 Generally will not take responsibility—constantly blame everyone and everything
but themselves
 Keep people isolated by preventing or discouraging contact with friends or family
 Shove, push, block the way, or stand or behave in a threatening manner
 Threaten to hurt people or their friends or family
 Discount other people's worth and opinions
 Encourage dependence; tell others they cannot get along by themselves
 Control access to finances, telephones, television, computer, cars, and other family resources
 Criticize, devalue, insult, humiliate, and otherwise make people feel small, worthless, stupid, clumsy, helpless, unwanted, or inferior
 Use intimidation or manipulation to get their way and control people
 Abuse or threaten to abuse pets
 Destroy or threaten to destroy things other people value

 Act distrustfully; intrude on privacy (e.g., barging in, reading mail)
 Withhold conversation or affection to control or punish
 Exhibit jealousy; make unfounded accusations
 Have unpredictable outbursts of anger or rage
 Cite authoritative sources to justify their oppressive behavior (e.g., quoting a religious text to justify physical punishment or assert superiority)

Mainstream Christians do not belong to cults.

Not by your definition

Religious cults: Spiritual beliefs serve as the bedrock for many cults. Some cults are offshoots of mainline religions while others offer brand-new dogmas and theology.

key words: offshoots, brand-new

I don’t define cults. People with way more education, expertise, and knowledge do.

Evangelical is an off shot, born again is new.

Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that affirms the centrality of being "born again", in which an individual experiences personal conversion; the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity (biblical inerrancy); and spreading the Christian message. The word evangelical comes from the Greek (euangelion) word for "good news".

Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including Pietism and Radical Pietism, Puritanism, Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Moravianism.

As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3–7).

Being born again means being made new in Christ.

Protestant is an OFFSHOOT of Catholicism.
Evangelicalism is an OFFSHOOT of protestant, an extreme sect of Protestant.
Born again religions were founded in the 1960s.

In the 1970s, it was found by political strategist that the evangelical vote had not been won by anybody. Jimmy Carter declared himself to be evangelical and it helped him win. So did Ronald Reagan. Neither were born again, and neither were evangelical, but it did help their elections.

After an initial defeat for the governorship of Georgia, he was elected to the state's top office in 1970 - a position he would use as a springboard to the White House.
As a office holder, Mr Carter was driven by a mixture of born-again Christian spirit, a sense of independence and a liberal tradition. The latter was inherited, not from his father, who was a white segregationist, but from his mother, Lillian, who joined the Peace Corps at the age of 68, and spent two years working as a nurse in India.

His sister, a faith healer, had by then convinced him to commit himself totally to God. As president, he continued to preach at Sunday school for children and always said grace before meals, even at state dinners with foreign leaders.

“Today it may seem inevitable that evangelicals gravitated to the Republican Party in the 1980s; but Carter, the wealthy peanut farmer from Georgia who won the 1976 election as a Jesus-loving Democrat, complicates the story. Like the evangelical politicians who succeeded him, Carter talked about his “personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”

But there's another source of inspiration for Carter that's been overlooked in many of the tributes -- his distinctive brand of White evangelical Christianity, which remains hidden from most Americans.

Carter is a progressive White evangelical Christian. That may seem like an oxymoron, but it shouldn't. Progressive White evangelicalism was once what one historian called "the ascendent strain of evangelicalism in America."

Jimmy Carter was definitely a born again evangelical Christian.

And a cult member.

Describing his beliefs at the 1978 National Prayer Breakfast, Carter said, "For those of us who share the Christian faith, the words 'born again' have a very simple meaning: that through a personal experience, we recommit our lives as humble children of God, which makes us in the realest possible sense brothers and sisters of one another."

In an interview with Fox News, Carter was asked to define what he meant by calling himself "born again". He replied as follows:

"In the Book of John, when Christ was questioned by one of the Pharisees, he said, 'You must be born again to have a new life as one of my followers.' So being born again is just like breathing for us. It was a phrase that we used without question for the first 50 years of my existence. And then, of course, evangelical to me is someone who relates their experience with Christ and others in hopes that the other person will accept Christ as savior. So I look upon both these not as a matter of liberal versus consecutive, or fundamentalist versus progressive, or whatever, but as a standard description of someone who is a believer in Christ and who follows the Bible."

I suppose you could post a citation for your comment, but you are just making it up as you go, throwing anything up against the wall to see if it sticks.

Why don’t you Google it? It’s very well documented. There are about 3 million articles written about it. I don’t know how people can be part of a religion and not understand how it’s intertwine with politics.

When you are part of a religion, it is your obligation and duty to God to ensure you understand if the leaders of your church are using you to further politics or wealth.

You are not doing gods work if you allow yourself to be used.

Interesting that the first time Jimmy Carter use the word “born again” was during an election time. In 1970s. Yet never before in any of his other elections did he mention being born again.

Yes, it was a political strategy. He was evangelical the whole time but “born again” was used as a political strategy. And if you need citations, go to Wikipedia, and look at the citations… reduce some real Research, but you won’t.

You know neither of your google links gave any information to support your claims, right?

The born again link you cited was about a chinese cult.
