Dear Reader,
First I want you to take a couple of minutes to watch this video which is from the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know? This movie is about Quantum Physics and Spirituality. The lady speaking at the 3:23 mark is one of the best things that can ever be said about. I wish that the people of The New Church who I have dealt with would realize the hypocrisy in their message I will explain after this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kWAy65ZFnk&NR=1
Last week I was reading Pastor Glenn's Good and Truth Blog and a person named Gene commented about they way the New Church handled treating people of others faiths. When Pastor Glenn retorted one of the first things he did was attack false teachings of Protestants and Catholics and this has been the message I have been trying to convey to him and others in the General New Church of Canada. You spend so much time trying to make others look silly in their beliefs and prove them wrong that your message becomes hypocritical. How can you truly believe there is good in all religion and actually want people to convert to a faith who readily puts down others let alone use teachings by man who was considered a heretic, disturbed, and sick by others and other people strickly follow the Bible and not use text made up out of the Bible cannon. Pastor Glenn also says there are only about 100,000 people in the world who believe the way that he does and there are different sects of Swedenborgians as they might be called. From the research I did it says that the number has been falling and now they are facing a crisis within the General New Church about women being ordained as ministers which is sure to cause more to leave or go elsewhere. It seems they are so worried about proving themselves right instead of just loving God and loving others like their doctrine says. I cannot speak about my dealings with the New Church in The U.S. or other countries because they have been loving and accepting. I can only speak on the disrespect and arrogance that I have encountered with the General New Church in Canada and I have had nothing but love and respect for all of them. It is because Rachel Myatt and Pastor Glenn and Pastor Cooper that I am bringing this message to people of other faiths now. I tried to make peace with all of them as people. I gave reasons for my thought and I told them my story and to them it really didnt matter because they scoffed at it for a year. So Rachel just remember your unkindess to me, my family, and your hateful remarks regarding me and my mother that were made started this. I tried to make peace with you. I showed you unconditional love. I apologized to you even though I never had to. I still love you. Now since no one took me serioius till now I want Protestants, Catholics, Evangelicals, Anglicans, and any other form of Christanity or Christendom to know what the New Church of Canada thinks of you. They think you are dumb, ignorant, and unenlightened. They think because we believe in Christ and his teachings from the Bible and take both spiritual and literal meaning from the Bible(God's Word not Swedenborg's word that you are ignorant) They don't believe in a literal Adam and Eve nor do they believe in the Immaculate Conception but Rachel Myatt and others will tell you how stupid and ignorant you are when you try to discuss you beliefs with them. I had nothing but love and respect for all these people and I did nothing but read their works and never judge them like they jugded me. They didn't even welcome me to worship with them. Pastor Glenn finally did weeks ago but that was almost a year after I brought my grievances to the Church. I want to leave Pastor Glenn's blog with you so you can see that I am not making things up and that I am just proving my point about their spiritual bigotry toward others who love God. Here is the link for the site.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/goodandtruth/2011/11/how-helen-keller-and-i-would-help-the-world/#more-337 and here is the direct retort that Pastor Glenn made to the person who asked him the question.
From Pastor Glenn Coleman to Gene
Thanks for your reply, Gene. Sorry that you've had bad experiences trying to talk to New Church people about the New Church. Swedenborg's Writings clearly teach that there's good in all religions, and that people of different religions ought to treat each other with charity. That said, there's also a lot in the Writings about false ideas in Protestantism and Catholicism, and I think that when New Church people talk about how their faith is different from other kinds of Christianity, it can come across as a personal attack. That doesn't serve anyone; I'm right with you when you say that we should discuss these things with the attitude that we're all children of God.
I am in no means trying to discredit Pastor Glenn in anyway but even he knows that there is bigotry and selfish pride that is swelling in his Church and I tried to point out to him on many occasions that the masses will never respond to that or take the New Church seriously if they go around attacking their other brother and sisters of Faith. I also will put up the New Church of Canada beliefs comparison link so that you can see that I am not being biased or hateful toward them. It is because I love Rachel Myatt and have respect for my other brothers and sisters of faith both of the New Church and of other Faiths that I am doing this. The chart can be seen here.

I want to take this time to say to Rachel. I am sorry that you didn't and don't see the deep Christian love I had for you but you have set off something that I will not walk away from. You judged me spiritually. You had people investigate my email accounts and youtube page because you couldn't deal with me telling the truth. I have done nothing but express myself and my disgust with how you used God's name to put me down and abandon me in vain. I am not a victim. I am a strong fierce Christian man who loves everybody and respects those who respect me and I respect those who are my enemies and I try to become friends with them if I can. I loved you as my sister in Christ and the most beautiful person in the world to me inside and out. I loved your son Jonathan with all my heart and still do. So just remember I asked you for forgiveness. I asked you for reconcilation. I tried to make peace with you but you would rather be evil and hateful. I will not apologize for telling the truth and you can sue me, have people hack my email and those who have helped me and write the emails and letters like you have done. You can do whatever you want because my heart lies with God and not with man. I know my parameters within the law and I will not break that. I have freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and anyone that knows me knows that I love you and if I wanted to truly slander and bring you down it would have been done. I would never treat you like you treated me especially right after losing my mom. I just want to say to all New Church members who think I am out for a vendetta or revenge I am not. I am doing this to show one person that if God is really in your heart and things are meant to be they happen and He is guiding me on this journey everyday and giving me inspiration. I love Rachel Myatt with all my heart and all she has to do is make peace with me and I am done with this. Just remember the video from the start of this blog. God should be about love not division, hate, hurt, or anything but love and acceptance. Rachel and the Canadian Chapter of the New Church have made it just that in the way they treat others who want to worship with them.
Do I hate or dislike anyone in the New Church. No I have nothing but love for them all. I am sad that someone like Rachel Myatt who was my best friend was so vain and insecure with who she was that she would lie to me, kick me when I am down, and hurt me and my family when all I did was love and respect her family. I thought the world of her and she thought so little with me. I want anyone who reads this blog to remember that and though she doesnt deserve my kindess or my love but I offer it freely because I am on a level that transcends the ugly, insecure, judgemental life that she wants to subscribe to. I dont like drama and silliness but Rachel seems to. She would rather make her whole religion prone to scrutiny than to pick up the phone and make peace with me. I am not a victim I am someone who believes in myself and I am great, I am wondeful, and I most of all am one of God's precious children just like we all are. All I want is an end to this beef and feud with you. I want peace and consideration because I love you much more than selfish and foolish pride. One phone call and this could all go away. I have no ego just a hear full of love for you that God gave me and I continue to believe in that. It is your choice how much farther I go but the next revelation and move I make is going to shock you and the New Church and you have had every chance to prevent it.
God Bless All
