After watching this, can you determine whether anyone would be misled into something that would ultimately cause them harm?

[wastedyearsthere]

Yes, this is propaganda -- I was misled and if I was young, had low self-esteem and didn't know enough of the Bible -- undoubtedly I would do it all again.

I think I saw myself in one of those pictures.......

Gag!!  

This Blog should have our own representation (video) of the real GCC church

The lst 2 yrs were good.  After the big move I had a wonderful ministry opportunity, which I am thankful God allowed me to do.  The problem I had toward the end was not being fed.

I have an old friend who works with one of pastors overseas featured in this video.

I thought it was quite interesting that Dennis Clark was shown several times as part of scenes where a pastor was supposed to be casually talking with "other people", but he was never identified nor did he speak on the video.  I thought it was strange that one of the founders of the movement would not be included in a more prominent way on the video.  Strange....

[askingquestionsaboutGCI]

Oops, I guess that wasn't very clear!!  In those shots with Dennis Clark, he was supposed to be the "other person", not the pastor.  I still find that interesting.....

[AgathaL'Orange]

Wait, what?  I don't know Dennis Clark... are you saying he was "posing" as another person for a pastor to talk to?  That's funny!

[askingquestionsaboutGCI]

Yeah -- in one of the opening scenes, John Hopler is shown in the middle, with a lady I don't know on the right hand side, talking with a guy in jeans, white shirt, glasses, holding a Bible, and white hair on the left side of the screen.  That's Dennis Clark!  Also, if you look, towards the end of the video, you'll see him again, this time with Herschel Martindale and Herschel's wife Mardine.  I'm guessing the other lady is Hopler's wife, but I don't know them, so I'm not sure!

Yeah, adds a new dimension to the video, huh??
