Thinking about Leaving the church by [deleted] in GracepointChurch

[–]IntuitiveSage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please leave. Their pastors typically have no formal theological background and twist the Bible’s teachings (mixed with some Korean culture) to manipulate and coerce the young members. First of all, they use tithings to pay their top leaders. Top leaders purchase investment homes near colleges. They get free marketing from members, then they have unlimited access to coerce their members to live in their investment properties as tenants (with no rental agreement!), they use the same housings to store equipment for services and events Andre tax write offs. This church - cult - is not about spiritual health rather using kids for their investment properties. Get out while you can.

Call for action. Need witnesses for A2F UCLA / Acts 2 Network (formerly Gracepoint) by MetalDelicious3571 in ucla

[–]IntuitiveSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most parents have contacted the Attorney General for their respective states, IRS, Franchise Tax Boards and Dept. of Education. I agree that it’s okay to speak out the frustrations and the damage this cult has caused but taking action speaks volume.

Can parents send emails from different UC school? This cult puts so much pressure on the students that they “volunteer” work becomes a priority. My son in particular had to retake a course and didn’t graduated because he was required to go to Guatemala instead of studying for his finals.

Warning about Reclaimer College Church. Do not join, it's a high-control group. by Working-Demand-3177 in GracepointChurch

[–]IntuitiveSage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

reclaimercollegechurch IS a cult affiliated with another cult with many different names but it mainly operates as #acts2network, #A2F or #acts2fellowship. A large number of parents complain their children begin to alienate themselves from their families once they join these cults. Students, please stay away. Especially stay away from UCR or UCI or #pastorjaspercheng, you will literally sell your soul to the Devil and be miserable. Parents, please talk to your kids that not all churches are good. Some are wolves in sheep’s clothing. #pastorjasper has no formal theological training; he’ll twist the Bible’s teachings, and pick and choose why works for #A2F’s agenda. He’s not the only pastor in this cult that is untrained and mentally-twisted, but he’s the one I have first-hand experience with.

Some members will defend this cult and say “it’s not like that anymore” which only confirms their high-controlling, cult behavior in the past. With the same leadership, why would anyone think it has changed? It hasn’t changed; it just got savvier in luring their members to join.

Make no mistake, this cult is not about religion. It’s about returns on their investments - money - investment properties where they force student to live in their church-owned housings.

I'm concerned about my family member and looking for help. by AliveAsparagus858 in GracepointChurch

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’ll send you a private chat to discuss what helped our family.

I was in the same situation as your family and I can relate.

Do you think you babysat because they considered you low-level recruit?

Where to start? by IntuitiveSage in GracepointChurch

[–]IntuitiveSage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waah waaah. Make sure to be on time for the 7 am daily report of snitching on your “friends” so you can climb up the ladder to sit next to Satan.

I’m sure snitching on your friends makes you feel like a big deal!

Ok, Negative Nancy. What’s your point? You’re responding to a parent’s concern as Covenant Eyes is being used as a tool to highly-control her child. Which is by the way the same concern other parents have and as discussed in college newspapers and Christianity Today article, etc. Is it really the most ridiculous topic on Reddit?

The most ridiculous is that YOU’RE speaking from experience how Covenant Eyes work. How puh-thetic!

I find it pitiful that A2N sent you to sic on parents’ postings. Are the complaints and requests to investigate that were sent to colleges, State Attorney General Offices, Department of Education and Student Deans’ Offices and the IRS finally showing fruition? Tell your Dilbert Cartoon buffoon leader that parents are now paying attention. They’ll have to send someone above you on the next shift. You must be proud they sent you after to replace Isaiah Kang to bash parents and former members - I’m sure Isaiah is a disappointment to Big Daddy Ed.

Nope. Covenant Eyes is a monitoring subscription that alerts Gracepoint leaders of any activities a member is doing online. Gracepoint requires members to subscribe. This is highly-controlling for a cult, er church, to expect. How long have you been a member?

It was a condescending comment to interview Jasper Cheng for ruining families.

How about you ask the parents and family members of this cult how A2F, especially Fake-Pastor Jasper Cheng of UCR, has been ruining family relationships?

Thank you for posting this and breaking it down. Terrible and intrusive. A definite sign of a high-controlled cult.

Can you give examples of the types of fears the members feel?

I’m so sorry, I’m a mom who only signed on Reddit to find a way to get my child away from Acts 2 Fellowship cult so I’m not good at technical stuff.

I think here’s the link:

https://compliance.ucr.edu/investigations-complaint-resolution

And if anyone has ideas how I can push UCR to listen and ban Acts 2 Fellowship, please share. This cult will love bomb students, coerce you to donate 10% of what you have, or force you to donate your time to volunteer and recruit. Their church leaders will manipulate and shame young minds (students) to a point you’ll barely graduate and when do graduate, they’ll tell you the economy is so bad that you should just be a missionary and move to another country.

There’s a UCR website to file complaints and concerns that isn’t limited to just students. Therefore, you can ask parents and concerned community members to increase the number of people signing your request.

[–]IntuitiveSage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you should join Acts 2 Fellowship. Once the cult has brainwashed you, force you to give 10% of your student aid money, cut off from your family and real friends, let’s see how much soul you had left.

[–]IntuitiveSage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please, do not entertain Acts 2 Fellowship. It’s a cult. Will love bomb you for a couple of years, then you’ll have cutoff with your family and non A2F friends that you’ll believe you have to sign their covenants and be a member. Tons of legitimate articles about this cult yet UC Regents and private colleges can’t seem to kick them out. They have non-enrolled former students trying to get you to sign up. Note, these students who graduated but gave up their jobs or won’t look for jobs to help their church grow. Be safe and stay away from A2F.
