Dear Readers,
There was not an english version of this video on online but if you have seen the movie XMEN 2 then you will remember this scene in which Nightcrawler and Storm were discussing faith I have included the the English translation below of the conversation so you will understand why I used this and it is a means to discuss what I have to say. The conversations starts about 1:13 in which I am refering to. This is the translation.
X2 (2003)
Nightcrawler: You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Storm: Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago.
Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.
Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith.
This is a message to Brian Smith the Editor in Chief of New Church Perspective and anyone in the New Church organization that wants to read. It is also to Rachel Myatt, the Myatt Family, Pastor Coleman Glenn and The Dawson Creek New Church.
If you looked at the conversation above then you will notice two things. One even though Nightcrawler may not be accepted or beautiful in others eyes he is one of God's children. In the comic book and the movie he is a man of deep and devoted faith. The part where he talks about people being afraid of him all the time, I know that pain and that hurt. People always make assumptions, cast judgment on me, and never truly get to know me much as Rachel did. I was supposed to be her boyfriend and close friend and I had just lost my mother so what does she do? She abandons me, makes assumptions, and is very cruel and my heart was truly broken to the point where I wanted to just give up. I am not ashamed of that because I was grieving and I was kicked down to the lowest point. She called me sick, crazy, damaged and made fun of me.
Here is my point to you Brian Smith of New Church Perspective. Maybe you dont want people publicly acknowledging the Good and Truth of others on your website and also because Coleman Glenn is an editor too but I will come here and say and do as I please. I had nothing but respect for Pastor Glenn and Rachel and I loved Rachel enough that you can ask Pastor Glenn I even offered to travel 2000 miles for one day, sit in a room after observing a church service, and make peace with both the Pastor and Rachel. That is how much love in my heart I have for people. It would cost me $1500 plus just to do that for a day and a half but I was willing to do that. You see I am pointing out the hypocrisy that lies in the New Church , Mr Smith. While you sit in the same circle and pat each other on the back for the good you think you are doing you forget about expanding and opening your mind and your ministry to others. I mean look at all the publications and things that are printed in the New Church realm I see a lot of people with the same name so it seems like it is just an extension of families and you dont want to let other people in and you want to chastize and criticise others who come looking who may believe a little different or are interested. I tried to make peace with Rachel for 5 months and corresponded with Pastor Glenn but he didnt take me seriously the first time in October of 2010 so I waited and God came to me and directed me to write this blog and start a worldwide campaign of love toward Rachel. If you read the blog "The Woman I Continue To Love Unconditionally" You will see the blog and and a personalized letter that was sent to New Churches all over the world. I loved Rachel and her son Jonathan that much. My anger is a gift and it is not an anger that is one of hate it is one of sadness that people who claim to be of God and love Christ Word would be hypocritic to the most beautiful of His Commandments besides loving Him and that is to love your neighbor. I never thought twice about giving up what I have here in Texas to devote my life to Rachel and Jonathan. My mother on her deathbead blessed Rachel and her family and told me that I should just go see Rachel that she would be fine but I knew in my heart I had to stay because I felt she was going to die. I stayed till she passed then I went to be with Rachel and it was only 3 weeks after that. I am sorry that Rachel and the Myatt family could not understand what I was going through and how much I loved them but using your religion to put down others is the reason for my constant criticizm of the New Church. If Rachel picked up the phone and talked to me today, all would be forgiven. I do not hate her, I do not hate her family. I have nothing but love for them. When I did send my letters out to the New Church both Chuck Blair and Kenneth Alden were the Pastors who came to me with love and great discernment. I got an arrogant short letter from Assistant Bishop James Cooper in Canada and constant excuses from Pastor Glenn about how free will dictated over God's will. I mean the guy did a sermon on "The Lesser Evil" http://colemanglenn.wordpress.com/2011/10/30/sermon-the-lesser-evil/ Im sorry but God always wants us to do any amout of good over any amount of evil. If we choose to continue doing evil things and hurt people then we should expect for things to happen to us. I also want to point out Mr Smith that many times during my relationship I was told I was stupid for what I believed in by Rachel and I just kept loving her. I have extensive Bible knowledge, studied religion, in school, and have had far more training in theology than Rachel has ever had but not once did I say what she believed in was stupid and I said I would study with her and like to be in unison with her because I loved her and I loved God and that was what mattered to me that we had a relationship together through Christ. So how am I bad for that. Do you see Mr. Smith how I was turned away and how loving someone who is selfish and who puts themselves and uses Swedenborg's doctrine to put down others might make someone like me who is loving and accepting very angry and discouraged. When I first wrote Pastor Glenn he didnt even acknowledge about me losing my mother in all this it was just about defending Rachel and Swedenborgs theology. At the time he was just Rev Glenn but still I was appauled and disappointed that a person who is supposed to be loving and non biased would take her side. I came to him because she doubted I would. Rachel doubted others ablilities in the the Lord. She told me I would never be with her, I put my faith in God not in her and there I was in her house, in her heart, in her bed when she told me I would never be there. Pastor Glenn put doctrine over loving his neighbor because I simply asked him if the selfish hateful nature that Rachel displayed was part of the New Church theology because she was selfish in so many aspects of her life. It was all about her. I even asked him if the New Church was satanic and hedonistic because of how she treated people. I still have all those emails and I am not ashamed to share them with you nor will I hold back or not take into account anything I said. I want you to understand Mr. Smith that I want the New Church to look at the wrong they are doing. I am not out to discredit or show hate or turn people away from the New Church but what I am doing is showing both Rachel and Pastor Glenn that one person can make a difference and I am not afraid to expose them for their behavior. Months ago I put up a song by Christian band Flyleaf called "Beautiful Bride" It is about the body of Christ and Christianity worldwide and in the song there is a line that says "If One Parts Hurt The Whole Body's Sick" at 1:54 in the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl0HPkBcpSQ Mr. Smith you have people that are bringing you down in your faith and that will hinder that growth and here is an outsider giving you insight to how he was treated and how people are acting in Dawson Creek and so it is your chance to resolve it and look into it. You want to take what I am doing as someone who is just out to get revenge or out to hurt others then fine that is your point of view. You are free to see it that way but it is just the opposite I am full of love and that love was ignored. Another thing I want to say is that you seem not to want to display any negative aspects of your organization but when I came to you people about religious and racial bigotry you want to push it under the rug. I hinted at the fact that because I happen to be black there might have been some reason by others to make Rachel think she couldnt be with me by people in the predominately White, Dawson Creek New Church. I should have been welcomed with open arms as I recall I look at the NewChurch.org website and see this.
Official membership of the General Church is made up of those who have chosen to be baptized and subscribe to the principles and purposes of the General Church. Membership is individual, and is not limited by race, nationality, or geography.
I didnt feel that way and my heart was open and I was looking to learn and be baptized. Another point I wanted to make when I really started hitting the bigotry part hard in my blog suddenly a essay by Cortland Bell appears in New Church Perspective. I enjoyed the article and though I was the opposite of Cortland as an African American I am a straight edge Christian who doesnt drink, never done drugs, try to help others and most of all I try not to judge those who do. So why did no one want to hear my story about how I loved someone in the New Church, treated them with respect and love and then I was ridculed, put down, and still had love for them and sought both forgivness, reconcilation, and good and truth. See you can pick and choose what you put on your site but you cant pick and choose what others see because of your actions. Take a minute to click on the picture of Rachel and I at the bottom of the screen where my screenname futureperfect is. You will see a black man American, with a white woman Rachel who is Canadian. I dont see colors, I dont see religions, I dont see country or nationality borders Mr. Smith. All I see is Gods love and I love Rachel and her son with all my heart.
I am going to close on this point in regards to Christ, in regards to Swedenborg, and regards to the way the NewChurch has treated this situation.
In the conversation between Nightcrawler and Storm above Kurt(Nightcrawler says this)
Nightcrawler: You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
You claim to see all these things that others dont but you dont want to accept what they see and you shun them for it. In return you want to be respected and others to respect what you see. It works both ways? How are you going to continue to grow if you cant even have a conversation where you have to be right or blast others about the truths they hold about God? Think about it Mr. Smith.
Lastly Am I right to be angry and to expose Rachel and Pastor Glenn. I am completely justified because I came to them with love and they and the New Church Ignored it. I was a deep forgiving and reconciling love and it was put down, pushed by the wayside, and scoffed at by members of the New Church so Rachel, her family, and Pastor Glenn are getting exactly what they deserve. You judged me, put me down, made a mockery of the love in my heart that I had for all of you so now you reap what you so. My anger was a result of the evils that you sought fit to protect people of the New Church now as I spread my essays about my treatment and how you put down other faiths and proclaim ot be a certian type of Christian while not even adhering to your own doctrine maybe the Church will wake up and see what could make it great. So like in the last part of the above conversation.
Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith
Both my anger and faith have helped me to survive so Rachel can show Gods love and realize what she has done or she can continue to hide and I will continue to prove what I said is right about her. I had nothing but love and respect for her and Pastor Glenn but with God and God's love they both can not only turn the tide but also show that the New Church has something to offer in arena of forgiveness and accepting others.
