 %TESTIMONIAL TESTAMENT GOOD NEWS SALVATION CONTROL+940528
%MAGICAL CHILD KINGDOM HEAVEN JESUS CALL SELF OTHER 940528

    Considering  how frequently people behave as if  their
salvation  depends  upon their achievement of  success  in
some form  of being in control---it is strange that  there
are virtually not credible personal testimonials by and on
behalf  of  people  who  say  with  integrity  that  their
salvation  came to them through their achieving some  form
of control.

    Many  religious leaders preach that salvation  can  be
earned  through  conformity  to  their  prescriptions  and
proscriptions---but it is strange that there are virtually
no credible personal testimonials  by  people of integrity
who  are outside the conformists'  exclusive  fellowships,
and  who  witness  with integrity to   transformations  of
people which were achieved by them through such conformity
within fellowships of conformity.

    The pervasive collusive games of mutual self deception
(which are played by addictive religious leaders and their
codependent  supporters)   make it risky (for  people  who
enjoy  salvation which has come upon them through the Holy
Spirit in spite of their  efforts to achieve salvation) to
witness to what has happened.   Such a witness would be in
violation  of  the  rules  of  the  collusions  which  the
powerful  respected  players say  do  not  exist---because
dishonesty about the collusions is the  prime  requirement
placed upon participants in collusive games of mutual self
deception.    Yet the examples of such collusive games are
omnipresent for young children to see and lead  adults out
of.   It is no wonder that young  children  have a simpler
time with salvation  freely offered and  freely  accepted;
for they have not been fully inducted into adult collusive
games of mutual self deception.
