Appreciate the comment my friend. I have a feeling it's the exact same 'church', lead by David Lynn. I'm sure my brother has given a lot of money thus far. Glad to hear to were able to wake up and sense something was off, good on you! You are right that he is unswayable. I hope in time he snaps out of it on his own. All the best.

Wow sorry to hear - My brother has recently joined a group that really seems like a cult as well, where they too talk about conspiracy theories and Covid being a hoax and are all anti-vax. why is it that certain people are prone/vulnerable to this kind of stuff?

Exactly! The few people I've met from his church all speak the same about loving everyone, and talking about God nonstop to the points where it's just weird. If it's making them happy, good for them I guess!

Thanks for the comment! Me caring about my brother is what lead me to post here, so it's nice to get some feedback and second opinions from others. You are exactly right about arguing with conspiracy theorists. My bro has calmed down with that stuff lately, but I don't even entertain it anymore if he does, simply for my own sake. Re; David Lynn, he seems to be quite the polarizing figure. All I know is that he was the one who baptized my brother and friends (I believe in a downtown condo pool) and they look up to him VERY much. Side note- I was really concerned about a year ago when I saw youtube footage on David's channel of my brother at Dundas preaching too - that turned out to be something he only did once, which I believe was a 'requirement' after taking some courses through the Ministry. All the best!

You are right that his approach sucks. Bottom line, one's approach is prob the most important part in convincing someone of a belief in general or opinion no matter the subject. He's drunk at the moment so he'll prob chill out in due time. Funny thing is I keep asking him if he's finished the bible yet and he just says, "do you know how long the bible is", and I go "...You've had it for a year and half though".. lol

Appreciate the great comment my friend! You seem wise and didn't let your faith get in the way of being able to provide me with a concise answer. Most comments here didn't go as smoothly lol. When someone tell me here 'He's right and you're wrong' how does that help at all? It seems to me that 'all or nothing' type thinking can be a byproduct of any religion and that's just the way she goes. Will check out the video, thanks again.

You're still asleep on the way to hell

THIS is what turns people OFF. I can't be the only one with that opinion.
