One Person Can Make A Change: Why The Church of the New Jerusalem Hates Other Christians :The Movement

Dear Readers,
As I shared my message about the New Church the other day with lots of people I found this bumper sticker at a booth that was a Vegan Outreach and Anti Animal Cruelty.  I wanted to share this message with those of the Church of the New Jerusalem.  Not only am I a vegetarian but I love others, show compassion, humility, and kindness.  This is something I have not encountered from the New Church.  What I have encountered is bias, haughtiness, self absorbed loftiness, arrogance, and selfishness.  Jesus never taught us to practice such things did he?  I don't hate the New Church but all I see is how they put down other Christians and I have encountered that myself so I am taking my message to the people.  Rachel and the others who could have been loving could have prevented this with a phone call or to talk to me in person.  Instead they want ignore me like this is a game or that I am kidding.  You will come to find out that this campaign is very real and I am sharing this message with many Christian and Non Christian on a daily basis.  Rachel's one act of selfishness, unkindness, and Pastor Coleman, Cooper, and Lumsden's self righteousness, uncaring attitude, and arrogance all lead to this.  I had nothing but love and respect for not only Rachel but the laity and clergy of the Church of the New Jerusalem.  Just to let you know that I was not kidding about being at one of the largest U.S Festival and the longest running one yesterday here is a little picture.  It was a place where people mostly young of all colors, backgrounds, religions, and walks of life go to share love and music.  I am a Christian and I want everyone to love God but the Bigotry I was shown by Rachel Myatt and the Church of the New Jerusalem needs to be told so I am telling it.

Yes I am out telling my story not only because I love people of all faiths but because The Church of the New Jerusalem needs to stop doubting others abilities in God and to stop constantly putting down others.  I look at their message boards, their websites, and comments by Pastors that are nothing but hypocrisies to the message they are supposedly trying to convey.  Rachel's behavior and treatment of me was destestable, dishonorable, and I am not going to forget it anytime soon unless she is brave enough to forgive and forget.  We in North America enjoy the freedom of speech.  I am telling a story about my experiences with proof of how Rachel and the New Church members have treated others and speak on others of faith and how bigoted and hurtful they are.  I am not here for libel or slander and my story is a true one.  I will not say stuff to others that did not happen I will only point out what was said and what happened to me.  It is for others to decide.  Pastor Derrick Lumsden was offended by my campaign and asked me to repent.  Repent from what Pastor? I am only reflecting the mirror back in Rachel and the New Church's face of how they treat people.  People love to put down others, be unkind, and cruel but when someone calls them on something, gives them a taste of what they are doing, and then threatens to show others you get all judgmental on me. Where was the clergy when I pointed out how Rachel acted?  When I publicly wanted reconcilation and forgivness and to forgive.  It was a joke to the New Church, Rachel, and the Myatt family, and most of the clergy.  They didnt see the love in my heart instead they though I was on here to make fun of Rachel which has been the furthest thing from my hear.  I started this blog because I wanted to show Rachel Myatt that someone truly did love her even though she treated me horribly I wanted to show her Christ love and His message of reconciliation, patience, long suffering, and kindness.  She hurt me deeply with her actions and her words but I was willing to go to the ends of the earth for her to let her know I love her.  If you people in the Church of the New Jerusalem cant understand the urgency and the clarity in that simple message from Christ then dont judge others.  I don't hate Rachel,  I dont hate anyone, I surely don't hate the New Church but when I extended my hand in love and in worship to Rachel, her family, and the New Church at a time when I had just lost my mother I was met with lies, hypocrisy, and ridicule and that is the most UnChristian thing ever. So those of you who have a problem with my blog or my methods. Pray for me or Reach out to me. Talk to Rachel because she could end this by being loving reconciling with me, talking to me, and making peace. If not then don't get mad because I tell the truth.  One person can make a change and I have just begun a revolution.  You can sit back an ignore it and watch my message grow or you can be the loving Christians you say you are and reach out to me to find a resolution to this. My heart is open is your Church of the New Jerusalem, Rachel Myatt, Myatt Family?


My battle is one of peace, love, acceptance, healing, and understanding others. If you want to constantly judge, hurt your fellow brothers in Christ, and be so biased that you dont see the forest for the trees continue and your faith will crumble to the ground.  I am fighting for what I believe in and I have always loved Rachel.  I never give up on people I love and if she had any love in her heart that Christ or even Swedenborg talks of she would realize how deeply she hurt me and how courageous it would be of her to pick up the phone and not only forgive and be forgiven but she could put an end to all of this.  Love is the key, Love is the answer, accepting the wrong, moving on, and loving is all I know to do. Rachel Myatt I forgive you for hurting me, for hurting my family, for breaking my heart be strong my friend and come back to me stop the hurting or live the rest of your life knowing you damaged someones soul so much that it led to events that affected lots of people through your words. I love you Sister.

Ephesians 6:12-15

¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.


The church does not exist where there is no truth of faith, nor religion where there is no good of life. The church and religion make one like truth and good. And as truth relates to faith, and goodness to charity, they make one just as faith and charity do. Or, to make this clearer, they make one like understanding and will. We know that we may understand well and yet not will well; and that we can understand truth, and from understanding speak it, and yet not do it from our will. But when we will as we understand, and do as we say, then our will and understanding make one within us. It is the same with the church and religion. The church is a church from its doctrine; religion is religion from living according to doctrine. And the doctrine must consist of truth, and the life of goodness. (Doctrine of Charity #212)

“They condemn what they do not understand”    Cicero


We could also use a point in the Bible which was given to us by Our Lord and Savior during His impending exit from this earthly Realm. 

Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”



Pastors and New Church Members can chastize me but they do not see what is in my heart and I am standing my ground and practicing what I believe is Good and Truth.  I do not write on this site to hurt Rachel.  I write to let her and others know that I love her and that she continues to hurt me and be hypocritical to her doctrine.  I write because it is a way of release and expression for Rachel to realize I love her instead of  wanting to get revenge.  I write because God wants me to tell my story and give others hope for when it seems even prayer and asking God for help isnt working.  God hears all our prayers and in time if we are patient they may be answered just not how and when we want them too. 


What I am doing my July 4th?  One each year I find someone who is incarcerated and write and pray for them so I am about to drop a letter in the mail.  Two my friend was battered by her boyfriend last week and I worry for the saftey of her and her children so I have been giving her my time and showing her how special she is and how she doesnt need a man and that God give us others to lift us up when we are down.  I am trying to help her get into school, to better her life and her children, and I want to see her grow and be her own person without depending on a man.  Lastly I am writing and printing more Newsletters about my experiences with the New Church.  It has to and needs to be done.  I am sorry if it offends anyone but today is a day to celebrate the freedom we have and those who fought for that freedom.  People in the New Church seemed to forget that.  You are free to worship as you want yet you use that freedom to put down your other earthly brothers and sisters Christian and Non Christian.  Maybe in time the people in the Church of the New Jerusalem will open up and see that I am doing this to show Rachel that I love her beyond all space and time not to embarrass her,  ruin her reputation, or hurt her but because I love her as my sister with all my heart.  That is the moral to this blog..



In the end I do good to love people and because I want to do good.  Not to rack up points with God though I want Him to see me do good I dont live my life that way.  He knows what we are doing and we know if we are sinning and doing wrong or right.  If I were doing wrong I would be hiding and not telling my story but I know it is the right thing to do.  One day I hope Rachel will do the right thing and end this with me by coming to me and making peace with me.  Until then..



Rachel had no idea what a strong empowered and determined person I am.  I never gave up on her and when she said never I said yes and I will.  I just want you people who think this is a game to see where my heart lies in equality and justice for all.  Even though I consider myself a Conservative Christian it doesnt mean I don't believe in freedom, justice, and equality for all.  Just because I believe different than others doesnt mean I should treat them bad and not love people for who they are.  Rachel played with my love and then shunned me for being different.  I am against homosexuality as a sin but do I hate my friends who chose that lifestyle.  No I accept them and love them for who they are and respect them as my friends.  My point in this is if Rachel didnt want to date a Protestant Raised African American male then she shouldnt of.  She should have found someone in the Church of the New Jerusalem that was just as bigoted and hateful as she so they could share their convoluted world view.  I will never be racist, I will never be bigoted.  I have been prejudiced but I changed because I got older and evolved.  I loved Rachel Myatt Unconditonally and I never did anything but want to learn with her and serve God I didnt nit pick or find flaws and differences I looked for love and common ground.  I dare anyone to say otherwise or get on my blog and tell me I am wrong for standing up for what I believe in.  It is also possible not to be a bleeding heart liberal and be aware of all the wrong and injustice that is going on in the world and it could change with God's love, compassion, kindness and understanding our fellow man.

These are causes and organizations I believe in and have supported and will continue to be an activist much as I am being an activist against the evil and prejudice in the New Church.

First and foremost I am a Christian but I am also a Christian Anarchist and have always put God over man and his evil Governments and men who claim to be revelators of God but are false prophets.  God is about love and people who spread what certain people in the New Church do are missing the point of Gods love so I hope you take the time to read this

  This is for you Rachel Myatt, Pastors Glenn, Lumsden & Cooper
"People who love God sometimes make the terrible mistake, in their zeal, of trying to seek Him in their own strength, and trying to understand the faith in human terms. This will always be disastrous, because they will end up serving mammon, instead of God, believing all along that they were serving God. Christians today often get caught in this trap, and churches by and large fail to make a clear enough distinction between the role of knowledge and works; and true spirituality. Knowledge and works do not equal to faith--they are two different things. If we make knowledge a pre-requisite in our minds for being spiritual, and having true (saving) faith, then we're cutting ourselves off from the truth. We're trying to save ourselves by works, and not by faith."



Those of you in the New Church have failed to see this is what I am talking about in dealing with you in terms of trying to understand God you putting Swedenborg's interpretation so far in front of you that you are failing to not only follow God's word but trying to interpret it on Human terms but you dont want to see that.  Lastly this last paragraph from that page is exactly how you come off to people it may not sound mean and judgmental to you but it is.  You are not very patient and loving people.  I was patient, loving, and kind with Rachel and she abandoned me like an old dirty sock and thought nothing of it. Her Pastor Glenn showed an I dont care what you do attitude toward me too.  Is this how the New Church wants to be percieved?


"We need to get out of the mindset of ultimatums and fear-mongering. God is Love, and fear does not help lead anyone to God. Divisiveness doesn't help either. This is the core of the Christian Anarchist tradition. We're anarchists because we don't identify with any fixed "way" how things should be. We identify with "the Way", which is God's Word. If you believe in any other way at the same time, that's probably because you're zealously seeking God, and you really love the truth... but, there's a better way. True freedom is available when we let go of the hard line and let things take their natural course. It doesn't mean that you don't care when you do that; it means that you care enough to listen, and be patient, and kind. You're probably not being judgmental and mean, but that's definitely what it sounds like, and it's not necessary to sound that way to let people know that certain actions and choices are a mistake."


Why is it so hard for Pastors and members of the New Church to just love instead of being judgmental, biased, and trying to make themselves seem right instead of learning about people first and what is in their hearts?  I ask you this because this is why the revolution started!!!!!
