[nickk - not the imposter]

...It is no wonder then, that Monasteries in the US were created by Father Ephraim to extend the reach of his organization's financial wizardry skills and to get backing from the wealthy and government officials to push through money creation schemes. Father Ephraim clearly has mastered wealth creation taking non-cash generating land and parlaying it into hard cash for his organization by orchestrating complicated land swaps that enrich those at the table leaving the Ephraim Monastery organization all the wealthier.

One news outlet published an story that detailed potential connections between the Ephraim run monasteries in Florence Arizona and Pleasant Prairie Wisconsin.

http://www.weareorthodox.com/usersubmissions/TNH-Cromidas-Article-Dec-2013.pdf

Both of these US monasteries run by Father Ephraim (St. Anthony's Monastery in Florence, Arizona
http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org as well as St. John Chrysostomos Greek Monastery in Pleasant Prairie Wisconsin) have strong connections to the Mamalakis Family. The article elaborates on the money laundering activities that appear to be orchestrated by Milwaukee Business Man and past political candidate Emmanuel Mamalakis.

Emmanuel Mamalakis is the founder and past president of SXP Analytics which was removed from his control by order of the court following an FBI raid and a Bankruptcy filing by the company.

Both of the two monasteries referenced in the weareorthodox.com website appeared to have been vehicles used by Emmanuel Mamalakis to move massive sums of cash out of SXP Analytics through shell non-profits controlled by Mamalakis and onward to the Monasteries and Indigents receiving millions allegedly belonging to other parties.

St. John Chrysostomos http://www.hellincheartbeat.com/monastery/index.htm was the monastery where Emmanuel Mamalakis' mother Angelica Mamalakis once worked overseeing finances for the "Charity".

In September 8th, 2011, approximate to the beginning turn in Emmanuel Mamalakis' personal finances, his Mother Angelica passed according to the funeral home website http://www.freerickfuneralhome.com/notices.php?id=534

Without Mamalakis' mother working in the nearby Ephraim run St. John Chrysostomos Monastery, cooking the books may have become more of a challenge for Emmanuel Mamalakis and his account Linda Johnson to orchestrate. Later contributions made by the many Mamalakis' shell non-profits to the Ephraim Monasteries shifted away from St. John Chrysostomos Monastery back to the Florence, Arizona St. Anthony's Monastery. It was also around this time that Father Ephraim reportedly moved to Florence Arizona to continue to expand his empire in the US. http://oldbelieving.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/elder-ephraim/

Near the end of 2013 in December, well after millions of dollars had been siphoned out of SXP Analytics LLC bank accounts into shell not-for profits entities and EMM Holdings Real Estate Company and onward to the "indigents" and Ephraim monasteries, foreclosure proceedings were brought against Emmanuel & Kimberly Mamalakis' personal residence (2013CV002808 SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. vs. Emmanuel Mamalakis et. al. on wcca.wicourts.com), indicating the Mamalakis family is clearly under much stress and in need of funds, or is diverting all funds outside the US for protection from creditors.

The court appointed Receiver for SXP Analytics, Joseph Newbold, acting on behalf of the State of Wisconsin and Shareholders of SXP Analytics filed a lawsuit January 31st, 2014 against Emmanuel Mamalakis and the numerous "non-profit" shell companies controlled by him claiming embezzlement, racketeering and numerous other charges against Mamalakis and St. John's. See the complaint at http://newsfraudalert.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/complaint-00619024.pdf

It is interesting that local Wisconsin press have eagerly ran with stories spun by him or his Political PR Firm "The Firm" http://www.thefirmllc.net/blog/?category=Press+Releases (also a named defendant in the litigation recently filed).

Since the recent lawsuit was filed, a bare mention of the litigation was made in local Wisconsin press, with no substantive reporting, suggesting that the relationships between "The Firm" and local press run deep.

Mamalakis' former attorney, Daniel Adams once defended Mamalakis in the SXP Analytics litigation. Daniel Adams http://urbanmilwaukee.com/people/daniel-morgan-adams/ is a principal at Adams Ulfer LLC (A Wisconsin based Criminal Defense Law Firm), but formerly worked at the Wisconsin District Attorney's office as an Assistant States Attorney where Adams worked as a colleague to the Milwaukee County District Assistant States Attorney David Feiss (more on Feiss later). Daniel Adams and Mamalakis appeared to have parted their ways. Adams is currently running as a political candidate against a candidate backed by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barret http://bloggingblue.com/2013/11/marina-dimitrijevics-endorsements-right-out-of-the-gate/.

David Feiss, interestingly enough is the individual Assistant States Attorney that Emmanuel Mamalakis continues to declare is pursuing a criminal case against Father Dokos for fraud. http://philotimo-leventia.blogspot.nl/2013/10/usa-orthodox-leader-suspected-of-taking.html
The irony here is killing me!

A search on linked.com showed that Mamalakis once employed Father Dokos' daughter and was also rumored on some blogs to have employed Father Dokos' wife, Cristina Dokos. Milwaukee County Assistant States Attorney David Feiss, still continues his long, yet never ending investigation against Father James Dokos, presumably at the request of Emmanuel Mamalakis likely funneled through Mamalakis' money buddy Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Feiss is reportedly in the process of concluding his investigation of fraud allegations made by Mamalakis on behalf of the Greek Orthodox Annunciation Parish in Wisconsin. The Greek Orthodox Metropolis reportedly conducted their own investigation and found no proof of illegal activities, but has remained relatively tight lipped in the press regarding the investigation.

David Feiss and Emmanuel Mamalakis have a shared political history supporting some of the same candidates for office and clearly the two have many connections in common that may be causing lots of behind the scenes gasps over what could happen next. Both Feiss and Mamalakis have supported Laura Perez in her race for judge as detailed on the campaign website http://www.lauraforjudge.com/moreattorneys
Various other links scatter the internet showing campaign contributions from Mamalakis and related people involved in the various investigations and litigation. See http://www.docstoc.com/docs/96133253/Sch-1-B--DOA-Home

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Emmanuel Mamalakis run deep in their relationship given the large contributions Mamalakis has made over the years to his campaign. Perhaps there is a pause to act due to the potential for the house of cards to fall on so many.

All of those $20,000 plus campaign contributions ( http://www.wisdc.org/pr052610.php ) made by Emmanuel and Kimberly Mamalakis sure do go along way in buying influence in the Wisconsin Cheese State.

Its no wonder that there has been no criminal indictment filed by the DA yet against Emmanuel Mamalakis despite the clear paper trail laid out by the Receiver detailing Mamalakis' alleged money laundering activities. Maybe the Republican Attorney General of Wisconsin J.B. Van Hollen will act in areas where the local law enforcement leadership atleast appears on face value to have sat on their hands thus far.
Perhaps there is a good reason ADA Feiss hasn't taken action. Consider the possibility that the Feds are working on a "Jackson" type deal with Mamalakis whereby if Mamalakis helps target and get others involved in the money laundering schemes caught on the record and convicted, then he gets a reduced sentence or great plea bargain? There could be much larger fish involved such as the Russian money behind Singletick startup.

Not to worry Greek Orthodox of America. The monastery issue will be solved. As you know the headquarters of Ephraim monasteries is in his diocese. Metropolitan Gerasimos has developed a diocese growth and relevancy development strategy with 50 other GO in his diocese. The strategic document lists the core values and what the framers believe are threats to the strategy. It looks very good on the surface.

Monasticism of the elder has been written into the strategic document as part of the growth and relevancy development of this diocese.

The core value of the strategy I find most interesting is the core value of integrity in transparency and accountability. The framers of the strategy must believe that their metropolitan embodies integrity in transparency and accountability to lead the strategy to its stated goals. This core value is the guarantee that the metropolitan and the elder will be held to objective ethical and moral Christian standards/policies of the GOA without favoritism,cover up, stone walling, hiding, secret keeping, double standards, spinning and lying. The strategy states that it is Christ centered and so no doubt the leadership responsible for the strategy development and implementation will transparently expose as Christ in the Gospels transparently exposed.

Since the strategy is Christ centered that must mean the authority of Christ is over the strategy and all who represent the strategy leadership are submitted to Christ's authority first so that the strategy is not compromised in some fashion by any leader who could compromise it by a lack of integrity. The integrity of Jesus Christ is at the center of the strategy and the metropolitan who is of the direct spiritual line of the Apostles and therefore as an Apostle of Jesus Christ will uphold the integrity of the strategy.

Considering that Elder Ephraim and +Gerasimos are found in the same diocese makes for a dynamic duo team that will lead the diocese to fulfill its stated strategic goals. With spiritual leaders of this caliber of integrity in transparency and accountability in authority in the diocese it means the strategy cannot fail due to the core value being upheld with everyone in leadership held to the same objective standards of Biblical transparency and accountability.

The Archdiocene Council of the GOA commissioned a committee to investigate the monasteries of Elder Ephraim and to write a report on their findings. The metropolitan's of integrity in transparency and accountability welcomed this investigation and fully supported it along with Elder Ephraim. If there was a problem with the investigation being blocked by anyone +Gerasimos would have demanded that anyone, no matter who it is, doing that be held transparent and accountable and face consequences. The metropolitan made sure the report was made transparent to the GOA. This is what took place, correct?

Ephesians 5:1-13 is the thinking, attitude and behavior of senior monastery leaders and the senior leadership of this diocese. The strategy is Christ centered around the Words of God found in the NT that represent its Christ centered core value of integrity in transparency and accountability. The character of Jesus Christ is at the center of this diocese growth and relevancy development strategy. It says so and so it must be so, right?

The strategic document lists what it believes are threats to the strategy. Obviously, +Gerasimos and Elder Ephraim are not threats to the strategy by their Christ centered integrity in transparency and accountability that has no double standards. The success of this strategy will in time represent a template model that the other GOA dioceses can utilize to see the same success. The Elder by a vision given to him by the mother of God was sent to the GOA to get it back on the right Orthodox spiritually correct Mt. Athos track. The elder coming along with this diocese strategy is going to reverse the dying demographic state of the GOA. They are not threats to the strategy. They are at the center of its success by their integrity in leadership as metropolitan and elder in rule. The 50 framers of the strategy must believe that, right?

Anyone can see the strategic diocese document at the diocese website, make their own analysis of it and come to their own conclusions.

The integrity in the character of those leading the strategy will be the character of the strategy. In the end, the strategy will only be as good as the character of those leading it is good. Character of leadership will determine the degree of success of the strategy over time. Time will expose what the character of the leadership is as this strategy faces issues both internal in the diocese itself and externally in the greater GOA that impact it.

The strategy document lists a threat to it that I find very interesting. It basically states that the moral failure of other churches have the potential to negatively impact the strategy. Good thing that there will be no moral failure in the GOA that could impact it or it could be seriously undermined and possibly fail. The strategy must assume that the moral character of the GOA clergy and monastic's will protect the strategy from any moral failure in the GOA itself. Maybe I missed it, but ethical failure, like money laundering, was not mentioned. The GOA itself is not a moral or ethical threat to the strategy, right?

A church can have the best strategy ever written, but if the leadership does not have a spiritually mature Christian character of real Christ centered and Biblical integrity that lack of character will negatively impact the strategy. The degree of Christ centered spiritual maturity of the strategy leadership is what will impact the strategy the most.

The GOA has a deep hole to dig out of here. The GOA did not come to America based upon the command of the Great Commission. It came here based on the Great Omission of the Great Commission. It came here as the Greek Ethnocentric Ghetto Commission. That omission has been ingrained and generationally transmitted since the first parish was established in America about 150 years ago. The strategy admits that such a strategy should have been developed and implemented 20 years ago. That's a 130 years off by my analysis. The Great Commission should have been the strategy 150 years ago. The strategy for 150 years has been immigration, marriage and birth inside of a exclusive, closed, isolated, self focused,subjective and ethnic church in pluralistic America.

Freedom of religion is America and it is not the GOC in Greece from where the GOA came from. Freedom of religion is choice in options. It is competition between options. There really was no competition among options where the GOA came from and so it really does not know how to relevancy compete as an option here and so it is dying a slow, ugly and painful demographic death.

Since the GOA believes itself to be Gods only true church that gives it an incredible advantage in competition among church options. No other church has this Gods only true church EXCLUSIVE relevancy in America. It is Gods objective standard of measure that determines the spiritual correctness of Christians and churches outside of it and it determines them to be heresy practicing apostasy. Pay no attention to the corrupt, failed, irrelevant, cultic, abusive, incompetent and dying state of the GOA. This is America's best ONLY option and because it is not heresy practicing apostasy by its real world outcome in America,right?

Freedom gives you the freedom to have options and to compare options and come to your own conclusion in making a choice among options. A corrupt and cultic church whose leadership is not held transparent and accountable with consequences is a good option among choices in options that can be selected from? The +Gerasimos diocese growth and relevancy development strategy is going to address and solve that issue? Time will tell and by the dying demographic state of the GOA time has run out and so the strategy had better soon work or the GOA will continue to die a slow, ugly and painful death in America.It will erase itself here.

Our son, Scott Nevins, committed suicide at St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery on June 11, 2012. He had been a novice there. The Nevins told +Gerasimos and the greater church that it was doing great harm to our son. We told the church they had involved our son in a cult. The metropolitan of integrity in accountability and transparency, +Gerasimos, told us, 'You don't expect us to believe the parents?' Yes, we did expect him to believe us. Had he believed us and taken the necessary measures our son would still be alive today.

Blood is on the hands of this metropolitan, the diocese, the monastery and the greater GOA. Gods only true church refused to listen and stop the emotional, spiritual and physical abuse of our son.It believed its Gods only truth was more true than the truth we told it about what it was really doing to our son.

No diocese strategy is going to wash the blood off. What destroyed our son was the GOA and what destroyed our son is destroying the GOA. The second greatest threat to this diocese strategy is the elder and the third greatest threat to it is the GOA itself.

+Gerasimos is the greatest threat to this diocese strategy. I do not expect him or the 50 framers of the strategy to believe me anymore than +Gerasimos believed us as the parents of Scott Nevins. Every prediction of the GOA I have made has come true. Mark my words, this diocese strategy fails within 5 years. It does not recognize the real threats to it and it believes that the Christian character +Gerasimos will lead the strategy with Christ centered integrity in transparency and accountability.

When the problem is the solution no solution comes and the problem only grows worse. The definition of insanity is using the same failed solution over and over again and expecting that the next time it is used it will not fail again. That is a church that is circular without solution going in circles with itself. It is the dying church solution that cannot deliver a living God solution.

God is not dead. Gods only true church the GOA is a dead church. However, how and why it is a dead church is another explanation. Let it suffice to say that a church can be a dead church and still exist. It can alive physical bodies in it but be spiritually dead. The church of the living dead. I believe the GOA is the church of the living dead by its real world outcome. I have the freedom to compare to come to that conclusion. Christ is the comparison and not a dead church gone corrupt and cultic no matter what it exclusively claims itself to be. Christ in the Gospels is comparison. His confrontation was a warning to not become what He confronted or there will be serious consequences.

Those Christ confronted refused to hear the warning, John 8:31-59. Christ told them what their corruption was and who the idol god in rule over their corruption was, John 8:42-44. They had become systemically corrupt and had reached the point of no return to God by their corruption of God in their midst. They were the living dead.

Is the GOA systemically corrupt to the point of no return to GOD?

Does a corrupt idol god rule in the GOA or is the GOA Christ centered rule?

Gods truth is transparent and therefore Gods only true church is the most transparent church in existence, right?

Gods truth holds accountable and therefore Gods only true church is the most accountable church in existence, right?

Is the Mamalakis, SXP and St.Anthony's monastery issue a symptom pointing to a greater church corruption cause? What is that cause?

Is the structure and system of GOA hierarchy and monastery authority corrupt and/or cultic?

Is any systemically connected corruption taking place in the GOA hierarchy or in the +Gerasimos led diocese or in Ephraim led monasteries?

Is the top of the GOC hierarchy, the EP, held transparent and accountable with consequences or are he and the hierarchy he rules over above and outside of transparency and accountability that delivers consequences?

Is the Archdiocene Clergy/Laity Council holding the church leadership transparent and accountable with consequences?

Has the laity co-chairman of the Archdiocene Council taken action against the corruption in his church?

What has happened to the Archdiocene Council leadership under the chairmanship of the Archbishop and Michael Jaharis? Is it functional or dysfunctional leadership? Is is healthy or sick leadership? Is it competent or incompetent leadership? Does the laity leadership on the council have power to hold transparent and accountable with consequences or are they powerless puppet pawns?

Is the state of the GOA functional and healthy or dysfunctional and sick?

Is the laity leadership of the GOA powerless to take transparent and accountable action against any hierarchy or monastic corruption?

The strategy fails within 5 years and the GOA does not return to God. The strategy will go in circles with itself due to unseen and/or denied threats to it. The GOA remains the church of the living dead and continues to erase itself in America. All of my predictions of the GOA come true. All of them.

Dear Ashley,

I continue to pray that your son rests with the righteous in everlasting remembrance.

Peace be to you!

[Lucky Velotres]

The Ephraimites have a system of asking for donations of the belongings of
deceased elderly, going into the home and stealing credit cards of the deceased,
which are then used to fund Ephaimite activities by selling the extravagant
purchases made on those cards. Furthermore, their elderly prosphorettes
bring banned materials into the States in their luggage as they do not fall
into the suspicious profiles of the customs agents. THere is a very good reason
to demolish these desidaemoniac homosexual monasteries, here and abroad, as they are nothing but bases for the plotting of islamo-soviet terrorism!

[++]

Dear Vasos,

Have you ever been to one of Archimandrite Ephrem's monasteries? If so, and I doubt it, which one? I have friends currently living at such monasteries.

[ashley...@att.net]

Scott's salvation was secured when he was a young child. He is healed,whole and well now. Your prayers are appreciated who ever you are. No need to keep praying for our son. He is in heaven.

The issue is the church itself. It will not take action against the systemic corruption.

Where is the Jaharis action? The only thing I have heard about him is that the monastery and therefore the hierarchy are stone walling him. That is an excuse not to have to take the risk, make the sacrifice and pay the price to take Jesus action.

Jesus spoke words of truth and He always showed up to back them up with action. He never told God the Father, The Sanhedrin is stone walling me. Unless the so-called men of God in the GOA leadership like Jaharis take the same risk action that Jesus did nothing is going to change.

Look at the state of the Archdiocene Council under the Jaharis co-chairmanship leadership. It is a spiritually immature, powerless and religious codependent enabling of the corruptions and cultism. It is systemically corrupt and that is not all the hierarchy fault. No way that is not also the character of the co-chairman Jaharis who will not take Jesus action against the corruption.

Jaharis would not take action before when warned by us and he will not action after the fact and when he said he would. The GO need to put their faith and confidence in men like Jaharis who lead their corrupt council. That's the solution to the systemically corrupt state of the GOA, right?



Speeches are cheap. Action is expensive. Taking action can cost you something that you value over God. Is Jaharis a ethnocentric cultural religious Greek club chairman or is he a Christ centered Christian leader of Christ's character that puts God first? Is his character corrupt like his church and the council he leads is?

Jaharis got the disease wrong. The real disease in the GOA is the spiritual cowardice of its laity men who will not show up and take Jesus action. The entire church is diseased. It is systemically corrupt.

At the last Archdiocene Council congress in Az. in July of 2012 I showed up with action. I am not afraid of the corrupt and the cultists. I am not their religious codependent enabling slave puppet pawn. I don't play sick religious political games with the corrupt. They cannot intimidate, coerce or threaten me.

I serve Jesus Christ and not corrupt men. I bow to the Lord and not corruption. I suppose that is considered an authority problem in the systemically corrupt GOA.

The Bill Stotis led Archdiocesan Council committee that supposedly developed a report on the monasteries of ephraim was supposed to show up and deliver that report to that 2012 congress. It never happened like the Jaharis promised action against what he called a 'disease' never happened. Jaharis will not even deliver a public update about his progress with his promised action. Now compare that to the state of the Archdiocene Council that he leads. He does not lead. He religiously codependently enables the corruption by a lack of Jesus action. He follows the direction of the corrupt that he fears. He is the co-chairman of GOA corruption by his lack of Jesus Christ character in spiritually immature leadership.

The character of a church leadership is the character of a church. So goes the leadership of a church and so goes that church. The character of the GOA by its laity and clergy leadership is systemically corrupt and cultic.

The next Archdiocene Council congress is this summer. It will be interesting to see if Greek Orthodox Truth and Reform and Jaharis can show up and deliver Jesus Christ action that backs their words up.

When Jesus showed up among the corrupt religious leaders of His day it created a scene. They then took up stones to kill Jesus. Jaharis and those like him are afraid of the stones. They are afraid of ramifications and/or consequences if they deliver Jesus action. They are spiritual cowards.

When I showed up at that congress it created a scene. They called the police. I put myself at risk and it is a risk that Jaharis and OTR will not take for Jesus. I have heard all of their excuses and rationalizations and they all boil down to spiritual cowardice.

No risk = No return.

No Jesus action = No return.

No Jesus = No Jesus action.

I suppose those who are opposed to the corruption and cultism in the GOA were waiting for Jesus to show up at that congress and deliver Jesus action for them. They must have wanted Jesus to do for them what Jesus in Gods Word commands them to do for Jesus. If Jesus in in them then Jesus comes with them when they show up. He does not come if they don't show up. Jesus was no spiritual coward. He showed up.

When I went to that congress in July of 2012 I passed out obituaries of our son. The first person I handed one to was an EPHRAIM MONASTIC. The ephraim monastics will show up to deliver their cultism, but Jaharis and GOTR will not show up with Jesus action against the lies of the cult destroying lives.

Jaharis action is not Jesus action. Does Jaharis really have Jesus or is something else the Jesus he serves? Hey, Jaharis, Gods Word says you cannot serve two masters and serve God.

Greek Orthodox, you get the church you pay the price for, take the risk for and make the sacrifice for. It is obvious none of you do these things as Christ in the Gospels and the authority of the NT would have you too by the corrupt, failed, irrelevant, cultic, incompetent, abusive and dying state of your church.

Your excuses and rationalizations why you will not show up with Jesus action work among you who make excuses and rationalizations as to why you will not show up with Jesus action. They do not work with Jesus who paid the price, took the risk and made the sacrifice by showing up with action that backed up His words.

They then took up stones to stop Jesus action by stopping themselves from taking Jesus action that stoned Jesus. No action stones Jesus like the corrupt and cultic stone Jesus by their actions. No action is standing in your church and watching the cultist's and corrupt stone Jesus to death right in front of you. You know, just like the Jaharis led Archdiocene Council stood by and watched their leadership of their church destroy our son. I was loud with the warning and so they are without excuse.

The metropolitan's and the Archdiocene Council leadership are more responsible for what happened to Scott Nevins than the cult monastery. A cult is not transparent or accountable. A cult will not take action against itself. That is why no action has been taken by the metropolitan's or the council. The GOA is a cult. Anyone involved in the GOA as member is a de facto cult member like the GOA is a de facto cult.

The Greek Orthodox can disagree and stand on the spiritual coward sidelines and watch their church destroyed by systemic corruption and cultism. They disagreed that their church was bringing great harm to our son and so I know they will disagree with me that the GOA is a cult.

The week that Jaharis made his Oct. 2012 speech to the council and said he was going to take action against the 'disease' I went on one of your forums and in public predicted he would take no action. I was a little later told by a member of GOTR that the council did not like my confrontation and that I was not helping our case with them by it. They did not take action when warned and then are not liking it when they are confronted after his death. They took no action prior or since his death and so their complaint is pure hypocrisy. They never had any intention of helping us or they would have acted long before he died and when he was still in the cult.

So, its my fault because I confronted them that they have not taken action?

What's next, I am responsible for the cult and corrupt state of the GOA that destroyed our son?

Oh, I see, its those other leaders on the council who are corrupt and not us, or is it, none of us on the council are corrupt or we could not be on the council? The GO are delusional about themselves in perspective of themselves in their systemic corruption. They don't like having the delusional bubble they exist in popped. It exposes their true thinking to them and it is corrupt thinking.

Will it be that Jaharis will read this and then not like it and then not take action?

Corrupt thinking to corrupt attitude to corrupt behavior = No Jesus action that saves Scott Nevins from the cult GOA. The behavior is corrupt by how they enable the corruptions. Corrupt behavior is not taking action against corrupt behavior. That behavior is not Jesus in the Gospels. The corrupt Archdiocene Council does not practice Jesus in the Gospels thinking, attitude and behavior and that is why the GOA is systemically corrupt. It is why our son is as dead as the GOA is a dead church.

The council and many others not on this council did not like the mirror held in their face that told them who they really are and they are corrupt. The corrupt will not take action against their own kind who are corrupt. If they did they would have to face and take action against their own corruption. That is how systemic corruption works and none of GO really understand how systemic corruption works for being the systemic corruption.

POP,

Ashley Nevins

Maybe this poster has not been there before but I have been to St. Anthony's 3 times. Your friends are in great spiritual peril. It was at the monastery that I learned that elder can divine water, that God will act against the elder enemies who speak out against him (if you disagree you are an enemy), that he cannot visit a zoo for the animals going wild wanting a blessing from him, that he can astral project and the Bible is just another book, etc, etc, etc.

When I visited the monastery book store a monk was there and I asked him what book in this one section was the best one to read. He looked at the shelf intensely for a good minute and looked at me and told me they are equally good books. I then took down a NT from the top shelf and told him this is my favorite book. His face turned red. Yes, I set him up intentionally. I know how the GOA thinks by how it does not operate Biblically.

When I walked around the monastery grounds at a couple of places it reeked of this horrible smell. It was not garbage, sewer or fertilizer that I smelled. Take a wild spiritual guess what I smelled. No I was not expelling any hydrogen sulfate gas and there was no one who was around me who could.

My son introduced me to the cook who is a monk. He wanted me to involve our daughters in the monastery with the hope that one would become a nun. He was delusional. I saw many fractured looks in monks eyes. The cult has to fracture the self to change the self into a cult personality. Talk to a psychologist who is a cult expert to find out what is going on behind those delusional eyes in the mind.

I was wondering. Have and of you monastery supporters asked the elder or his abbot about financial integrity in transparency and accountability? In the first KVOA report a Tucson priest represented the monastery and explained how the monastery and elder views financial transparency and accountability. He later settled out of court over inappropriate behavior with a female member of his parish.

What's next, Mamalakis represents the monastery as its legal council? Yes he does. Seems that those who represent the monastery have serious issues. Of course, in the mind of a monastery supporter the monastery has no serious issues and those who represent them must have the same character as the monastery or they would not be allowed to represent them. After all, they are Greek and Greek Orthodox who represent them. Only the most loyal and trusted Greeks represent the monastery in these kinds of ways. The monastery has a great track record of choosing who represents them and just like they have a great track record of financial integrity in transparency and accountability.

Certainly, there is no connection to how that priest explained the monastery mentality around financial transparency and accountability and the monastery, SXP and Mamalakis money issues. There is no connection between them what-so-ever, right? No dots to connect there, correct? There is nothing that priest said that correlates with Mamalakis. No red flags raised that would give insight into a future problem around financial transparency and accountability. Ask the abbot at St.Anthony's if you don't believe me. He will be completely transparent with you on such a matter. He has nothing to hide and will welcome such an inquiry.

This is a moot point anyway now that the +Gerasimos led diocese growth and relevancy strategy is based in a core value of integrity in transparency and accountability and since monasticism is in the strategy as part of the strategy. I am sure the core value is going to hold both the metropolitan and elder transparent and accountable without favoritism or double standards.

+Gerasimos is the embodiment of Christ centered integrity in transparency and accountability who will hold the elder and his monastery transparent and accountable with consequences. If he doesn't there is nothing to worry about. Jaharis promised to take action against the 'disease' that is headquartered in the +Gerasimos diocese. So, this all will works out well for the GOA in the end by how it holds itself transparent and accountable with action that brings consequences to those who would destroy the integrity of the GOA and whose integrity has no comparison outside of the GOA. I mean, the GOA does believe it is Gods only true church that has no comparison, right?

Jaharis got the disease wrong. The elder cult is a symptom of the disease that is the systemic corruption of the greater GOA that is the real disease. The entire structure and system of church rule and the church itself is the disease. The Archdiocene Council is part of the disease like the elder cult is and Jaharis leads the council like the elder leads the cult. Jaharis is the disease as much as anyone in this church system is the disease. That is why he will take not action against the disease.

What an excuse, the disease is stone walling me.(The disease cannot bring a cure to the disease.) Oops!If the council reads that they will not like it and they will not help us. They told me that they did not like my confrontation after Scott died. Some of them told a friend of mine that they would have called and apologized to us but they didn't think we would believe them. Gee, I wounder why they would think that since they took no believable action to save our son from the disease that killed him. What they were really afraid of was facing me and getting confronted. They didn't want to stand in front of the mirror and not be able to escape the reflection. Period.

Metastasized cancer will take action against metastasized cancer? Metastasized cancer is a systemic disease that kills the whole body dead by its systemic spread. Every aspect of the system of the GOA has been infected by this systemic corruption disease. Everyone in the GOA has been infected.

The dead cannot fight the disease. Only the living can. I read that in the NT. It is my favorite book that is not just another book. The Word of God is not just another book. It is a much greater book than, A Call from the Holy Mountain. Lose the transparency and accountability of Gods Word authority and watch your church go systemically corrupt. Watch it be turned into a cult. The more a church lowers or eliminates the authority of Gods Word the more corrupt it becomes. A cult submits to its totalitarian authoritarian power and control as as an idol god authority and true church Christianity submits to Gods Word authority. It is easy to tell the difference between them if you have not been systemically corrupted.

Gods only true church, the GOA, is the Christ centered model of integrity in transparency and accountability that delivers Gods only true truth actions of consequences to those who would undermine and/or destroy the spiritual,moral and ethical integrity of the GOA. They know that if they don't do that this church could potentially end up corrupt, failed, irrelevant, cultic, incompetent, abusive and dying. It could go over the irrelevancy oblivion cliff and not return to God's relevancy. It could end up a dead church or worse yet a cult.

Not to worry GOA. The metropolitan's, the Archdiocene Council and the Elder are all there to protect your church from systemic disease. They are going to protect you like the EP protected the victims of Astoria, NY. The EP is their Christian moral and ethical role model of Christ centered integrity in transparency and accountability. He is a man of Jesus action like Jaharis who bows and kisses his ring when in his presence. He is the senior leader of the church who protects the church by his spiritual maturity in Christ centered character. He is the most competent leader in the entire hierarchy.

Dear Ashley,

I have never been to an Ephreemite monastery. I have only been to St. Tikhon's, Holy Trinity, and Holy Transfiguration (the latter many decades ago), so I am unfamiliar with how these Ephreem monasteries are or of any of the personalities associated with them.

You are a good father fighting on behalf of your dear son's memory. I respect you for that.

[gkit...@gmail.com]

Dear Ashley.
I am happy to see that you know your son is in a great place.
I read most of your comments and I agree with you in everything I read. I have to say that I have experienced first hand the dominance of the Orthodox Church in the blind following the blind but in their case, their church governs by fear and corruption. The first by brainwashing the followers the do as your told or you will be punished by God, or better yet, he who is not one of us is a barbarian so you will suffer, the second follow blindly or you will fall in the underworld with the kalikantsarous that was taught in schools. I am a Greek but from the barbarian side, I am Protestant, so you see we were from the outsiders.
I can go on and on about the matter but if you want some answers you can google the word Vatopaidi scandal to find where ephraim and who his mentor and his pretasesor was he build women's monasteries so he can have sex also had a twelve year old girl that the mother trusted the holly man to sexually abuse for years, and his excuse this is what God wants of you.
As to the money laundering and the unbelievable real estate that followers have to sign over to the church for a better spot in heaven is outrageous.
I don't know if you will have any luck or details, because the majority of the reports are in Greek.
You can contact me at gki...@hotmail.com if I can be of any help .

The top down authoritarian church based in its own power and control is powerless salvation. It has to steal your power to prop itself up with and to hold you down with and so it can stay in power and control as your God and salvation in rule over you. Since the power and control is top down and centralized authoritarian that steals power its only real power is religious legalism, works and performance as you salvation. Without the power of God in salvation it has to steal your power to prop itself up with and your power stolen is salvation by grace stolen. You practice religious works to earn your salvation from the authoritarian church as God. Religious works is your power of salvation. You do religious works to prop the authoritarian power and control up, to prop your works salvation up. All religious works are for the purpose of propping the authoritarian power and control up and are therefore not about worship of God but instead are about worship of the authoritarian structure and the rulers who rule over it as God and salvation. Everyone is religious working to prop the structure and system of their salvation up, they are working for their salvation.

There is simply no way a church that exclusively claims to be Gods only true Christians in Gods only true church would not turn that exclusive claim into our church is our God and salvation and that is the set up for turning that church into religious legalism, works and performance as salvation.

Christ is inclusive salvation and religious works is exclusive salvation. The exclusive church has exclusive salvation based upon religious works over inclusive Christ salvation by grace. Exclusive salvation of this kind is easily turned into cultism or into a Christian cult church.

If you believe your church is salvation that is idolatry and idolatry is powerless salvation. A systemically corrupt church corrupted by this kind of idolatry is powerless to stop its corruption by this idolatry.

The first lie the Christian cult GOA told our son was, we are Gods only true church and Gods only true salvation. What the church basis itself on was the first lie told to him. He was, in affect, told that the GOA is his God and salvation through its elder, monastic system and the church itself. Scott was told that the church and salvation he was raised in was heresy Christianity that is practicing apostasy as its salvation.

The more exclusive the more legalistic. Legalism is closed thinking like the exclusive thinking that creates it is closed thinking. It isolates and segregates. It is subjective bondage that cannot be wrong about itself, but you are found wrong in comparison to it by it if you are not of it and practicing what it practices. Legalism can easily turn itself into God and salvation. Legalism can turn a church into a cult.

Jesus did not come to us in the Gospels like the monastic system of ephraim does. Christ was no monastic and their is no Biblical basis for it in the Gospels or NT. Christ did not come to us as a top down authoritarian structure of rule merged as one with the state in absolute power and control rule. Put that exclusive authoritarian church rule structure in a closed system together with the authoritarian closed system of monasticism and you are asking for serious problems of idolatry. You are asking to be turned into a cult church.

The ultimate in EXCLUSIVE is MONO exclusiveness. It salvation by my religious works, performance and legalism. Monasticism is closed, isolated, segregated and insulated salvation. It is self centered exclusive salvation like the GOA is a self centered exclusive religious organization. The Greek Orthodox believe the Ephraim monasteries represent the role model of Christ's life and salvation among us in the Gospels.

Jesus did not come to us from inside of a dark cave, high up in a tree, isolated in a compound or sitting alone on a rock. He did not live out in the wilderness alone in isolation and once and a while visit us. He did not come to us as the EOC does in America as a exclusive, closed, isolated, segregated and insulated authoritarian structure and system of top down power and control rule that is self centered in its subjective exclusive viewpoint of its mono self. Christ did not come to us as the MONO omission of the Great Commission, but instead came to us as the pluralistic inclusive God of the Great Commission. Christ is I come to you in public and not you come to me in the closed isolation of my multi-million dollar desert complex compound. Christ is the other centered God and not the mono me, myself and I centered God.

Exclusive is excluding. Mono is the ultimate in exclusion. The more exclusive the church the more it exclusively sees itself as singular mono God and salvation. That is, the more it sees itself as the only exclusive God and salvation.

On top of this exclusive viewpoint in exclusive claim the Orthodox are anti west, anti rational and anti modernity. America is western, rational and modern. Put that anti of what America is together with the anti of the exclusive segregating of the exclusive claim and look at the outcome of the Greek Orthodox in their exclusive ethnocentric church that is anti other ethnic others in America. America is freedom of religion and church/state Orthodoxy is not by its exclusive claim. They call their outcome here Gods only true salvation come to us in America. They actually want all Christians in America to convert over to them to turn them into what they are here and they are systemically corrupt, cultic, unrepentant, under foreign rule, abusive and dying in America. That want for us is delusional by pride, arrogance and self righteousness in exclusive claim that cannot be wrong about itself no matter how corrupt, failed and dying the church becomes. The corrupt, failed and dying state only compounds their salvation irrelevancy here by the exclusive claim that creates the corrupt, failed and dying state of church. It is a never ending cyclical circling cycle of bondage that the exclusive claim will never allow them to bondage break be Christ set free from. This is not a freedom in Christ church. It is a bondage by legalism in religious, works and performance church.

Any strategy to change the course of the dying GOA in America will fail by what is causing the failure. The cause of the failure is the top down authoritarian structure and system of power and control rule melded together with the exclusive claim as one. The cause of the problem will be at the center of any strategy to bring correction and it will not allow the correction to take place. The problem cannot solve the problem and so any strategy will fail. Cancer cannot cure cancer. The cause of the cancer is not the cure of the cancer. The exclusive in their closed authoritarian isolation believe that their pride in exclusively being right and that creates self sufficiency in exclusiveness is the solution and when it excludes the solution that is the other centered, bottom up, open system, transparent, humble and living Jesus Christ. Exclusiveness excludes the Christ solution and they die in America. In their dying they expose the real reasons why they die and those reasons are denied by the exclusive viewpoint in claim that the Greek Orthodox have about themselves here and that denial only causes them to die more.

The first lie our son believed is the lie they all believe and they all told him this lie. The entire GOA lied to our son to steal him to own him and once owned by them they destroyed his mind to cult mind control him and to turn him into their self destruction in their self destructing church. Scott was turned from a Christian being into a dead religion cult doing by religious works that are designed to prop the entire corrupt system of church up. He was cult mind controlled turned into a dead religion slave of the slave master cult GOA. His only real purpose, and no matter how the Greeks try to spiritualize justify their monasticism, was to prop the whole corrupt structure and system of church and cultism up. His role played out in the cult church is really no different than the role of all of the other cult members in this cult play out to prop it up.

The GOA is a liar, thief and murderer church that is powerless like it true ruler is behind the scenes and who has to steal power to prop himself up as their idol god who has replaced God and His power. Any means to any steal your power to prop it up with is the means to its end and you are expendable to it to prop it up ends. The dying GOA proves that the GOA is expendable to those whose authoritarian power and control steal power to prop themselves up with. Your only real value, worth and significance you have is your power they can steal to prop themselves up with. Your only real worth and value in the GOA is a shamed and shaming worthlessness you were indoctrinated into by a church culture of shame, corruption and cultism. You are really only worth what you can by religious legalism, performance and works do to prop up the corrupt authoritarian power and control rule.

The Greek Orthodox missed the message God sent directly to them in the death of Scott Nevins and just like they miss the real reasons why their church is systemically corrupt, cultic and dying in America. When such a authoritarian dead religion church believes it is God and salvation it is easy for it to miss the message sent to it from the only one true living God and salvation. In its exclusive viewpoint in authoritarian self sufficient perspective of itself it is the only God that it listens too and needs. You know, like those Jesus confronted in John 8:31-59. They were Gods only exclusively right and true in their dead authoritarian closed and isolated religion and they told the God In Christ standing right in front of them they were Gods superior exclusive ones and they also told Him that He was a heretic practicing apostasy in comparison to what they were and practiced.

Jesus confronted what we today in western, rational and modern Christianity call a cult. It is no wonder to me that the Eastern Orthodox who are anti western rational modern Christianity disagree with what proves they are a Christian cult in western rational modernity America. Only Gods exclusively right and true superior special ones can determine who and/or what they are where ever they are. They define themselves as God and salvation and so only they can determine who they are where ever they are found. In their Orthodox exclusive Orthodox Minds they are always Gods only true Christians in Gods only true church where ever they are found and everywhere they are found they are corrupt to their we alone are Gods right and true core. Where ever they are found if you are not of them then you are made wrong in your Christianity by them by their comparison of you to them in their exclusive claim.

The first lie the Greek Orthodox told Scott Nevins was, 'We are Gods only true and right Christians in Gods only true and right church and the Christianity your parents involved you in is a lie of Christ, church and salvation in comparison to us.'

If any Greek Orthodox disagree that this is the core lie told to Scott Nevins then they can tell me how I got that wrong by their exclusive claim and viewpoint of themselves in that exclusive claim. They can then try to back that up with the authority of their top down authoritarian foreign ruled church based in its own power and control propped up by them who hand their power over to it to prop it up with and that then renders them powerless to stop its corrupt, failed and dying state in America. I want to hear their very best top down centralized authoritarian power and control exclusive, closed, isolated,insulated and segregated apologetic defense answers. Yes, what is your very best mono exclusive apologetic that proves that your church is exclusively beyond comparison and therefore cannot be compared to expose what it really is in the real world.

Greek Orthodox by your exclusive claim and viewpoint of yourselves in freedom of religion that in reality is freedom of competition among religious options that COMPARE tell us how you are the Gods only true and right option that can be chosen and because it has no comparison to it by its exclusive claim. Tell us by your exclusive viewpoint of yourselves how every Christian option in America is the wrong option to choose in comparison to you in the state that your church is in. Tell us to ignore the state of your church and make no comparison of its state to what it exclusively claims to be and park your Christian mind at the door of the parish and come on in and join the dying mayhem of this Christian cult church gone right over the irrelevancy oblivion cliff. Tell these people that Gods only true rulers, the hierarchy and elder, are exclusive superior beyond comparison. Tell them that people who point out their corruption are the problem for pointing it out and when Gods only true church rulers in Gods only true church are superior God right above corruption. Tell us that the focus of the church is one true holy God and not a top down centralized authoritarian structure and system of rule as God and that is systemically corrupt, unrepentant and cultic with an exclusive we alone are Gods only true and right viewpoint of its rule. Tell them if they decide to leave it for another church that they are leaving their salvation and putting themselves at eternal salvation peril risk by heresy Christianity that is practicing apostasy as Christianity. Tell us that the Greek Church has the exclusive Gods only true Hellenic interpretation of the Bible and that the GOC real world outcome proves that it does both in Greece and America. Let your real world outcome in America prove what your salvation really is come to us in America and stand inside of that corrupt failure and tell Christians and their churches how wrong they are when compared to the GOA and then tell them that the exclusive claim of the GOA is beyond comparison for it being what other churches and Christians are compared too to determine their standing before God Orthodoxy. Tell us that the Greek church that is the first among equals that leads the corrupt failure in America is not a corrupt failure due to the exclusive claim that says it cannot be a corrupt failure and expect us to believe that and line up to join up. Tell us how the western, rational and modern church is a corrupt apostate failure and heretic in comparison to the eastern church in America. Tells there is no comparison to being under foreign EP rule in freedom of foreign church/state rule America. Tell us to pay no attention to the word 'GREEK' in the church title and that yours is the inclusive pluralistic church of Jesus Christ that has no comparison for how exclusively alone God right and true it is by its exclusive theological viewpoint of itself. Tell us how those other not Orthodox Christians and churches are the ones with a delusional viewpoint of themselves in comparison to your exclusive claim that cannot be delusional about itself by exclusive viewpoint of itself.

Laugh along with Frank at us. What did Frank turn out to be in Orthodoxy? Frank was looking for a Christianity that hated what he left like he did and he found it in the GOA. Are you laughing now??? Are you laughing at his outcome like you are the outcome of the greater church? I only bring him up because you raised him up as the proof of how superior you are to what is not of your Christianity. You all felt a sense of being God right and true superior to all below you when he converted over. It made you feel like you are viable and relevant Christianity and salvation. You did not vet him. You ran to embrace him and you did because you are so desperate to justify yourselves as the only best Christian church option in America. You didn't feel as dead as you really are when he converted and in that you felt it proved you are right. The self righteousness was thick when he converted over and you all went along with his thinking, attitude and behavior in his hate. He gave you hope that the lost Christianity in America could and would covert over if someone like Frank did. Frank ended up being a back fire right in your Greek Orthodox faces and just like your exclusive Gods only true and right church is a massive systemically corrupt backfire failure in your face in America. Are you still hoping in backfired Frank like you are in your backfired GOA? The only real joke that Frank made was his joke of a failure in the joke of a church failure the GOA. He only exposed more about why the GOA is corrupt and failed by its hate of the Christianity that is not under its systemically corrupt structure and system of authoritarian Christian cult rule. Frank only proved Orthodox hate and all the Orthodox laughed along with his hate. All of the Orthodox believed that Frank was the comparison that proved them right in comparison to what he left for them. It was the same hate that destroyed our son and lie lured him into this hate. Top down authoritarian exclusiveness leads to hate of what is not under its superiority and superiority is the best position to hate from due to its self righteous mindset that cannot be wrong about itself and that in truth hates the truth told to it about itself. It just HATES the truth being told to it about itself due to the delusional exclusive viewpoint it has of itself in comparison to everyone else not of its exclusiveness. The Orthodox reading this just LOVE this and don't hate what it is telling them about themselves, right? I know how the exclusive Orthodox Mind really thinks and it hates this type of comparison. I find that interesting since the the Orthodox exclusive claim itself makes the comparison of them to those not of them and that comparison then exposes them when they hate the comparison that exposes them. Where the Orthodox came from there were no other real options to compare them too and now they find themselves in freedom of religion comparison and they can't compete, but the competition of freedom of religion options exposes them for who they are here like their exclusive claim does that makes the comparison that exposes them does. The Orthodox are the exclusive claim that brings them the comparison in freedom of religion options that compete by comparison that they HATE. The Orthodox in America are no more going to escape the exclusiveness that creates their hate than they are going to escape the comparison that they hate and that their exclusiveness creates. The dying state of the GOA is hate of the living state of God. The more the GOA hates the more it dies. It has to kill Christ in its midst to die, to turn itself into a dead religion church, to turn itself into a Christian cult church. The more it hates Jesus the more it dies without Jesus.

This is what I spiritually know, Satan's hate is the diametric opposite of Gods love. He tried to kill Jesus walking in our midst. Christ in the Gospels is a warning to all Christians and churches to not turn themselves into what He confronted or they will be turned into Satan's hate by the degree they have killed Christ in their midst. He shows us this in John 8:42-44. He is telling us no one is immune no matter who or what they exclusively claim to be. I see the context of those verses (John 8:31-59) differently than the Orthodox do and whose exclusive claim says they cannot turn themselves into what Christ confronted. Christ told them who and what they had placed their exclusive we alone are right salvation in and they then picked up stones to kill Jesus by HATE. They wanted to kill Jesus in their midst for what He told them about them and it did not line up with their exclusive we are Gods only true and right exclusive viewpoint they had of themselves. They hated the comparison and in their hating it they hated Jesus in their midst. They hated their salvation from the only way of escaping what they had become in their exclusive viewpoint of themselves. They were exclusively wrong about themselves in their exclusively right viewpoint of themselves and they HATED Jesus for telling them how wrong they were in comparison to Christ. Christ is the only comparison and because He cannot be corrupted. That is what we are being told in those verses. They HATED being told they were corrupt by their exclusive viewpoint they had of themselves. That is what He is warning us about not to become or you can end up just like them. You can end up as a unrepentant, self righteous, systemically corrupt and cultic dead religion that is powerless without God, and even in that state you will still claim to be Gods only true and right superior special ones who have no comparison. That is just asking Christ to compare you to expose you for who you really are in the real world outside of the delusional we alone are God right and true world you exist in.

The steeper the authoritarian structure and the taller exclusive claim tale believed the harder you fall (Its a tall tale). The Orthodox in America have fallen hard and their authoritarian structure and exclusive claim are not going to stand them up. What has propped them up is exposed for what it really is and it can no longer prop them up in America no matter who or what they exclusively claim to be here in comparison to other Christians and churches here. So called Gods only true salvation is not saving the Orthodox in America. If anything it is bringing them down by what it really is as salvation. The EOC as God and salvation is what is bring the Orthodox down in America and they all want us to convert over to what they are to bring us down to their level of failure and corruption like they have turned God into their level of corruption and failure among them. They will not raise you up to Christ and His spiritual maturity that is not corrupt. No, instead they want to top down power push mold bring you down to the level of their spiritual immaturity they have brought Christ down too in their church that is systemically corrupt and is in unrepentant corporate bondage. They want to bring you down the level of their self glorifying self idolatry of their church as God and salvation that systemically corrupted them beyond the repentance return point back to Christ as our only God and salvation. The authoritarian authority structure wants to push you down by stealing your power and then use that power to mold you into what it is. The we alone are God right and true exclusive authority structure and its exclusive rulers want to push you down to stand on top of you to raise themselves and their authoritarian structure of rule up with and with it standing top of you powerless crushed under its corrupt feet. That is the truth of Gods only true church salvation come to you in America. It is salvation that steals your power to prop its corrupt power up with. It does not have the power of Christ's salvation to hold it up and so it has to steal your God given power in your freedom in Christ salvation power to prop itself up with. It has turned freedom in Christ power in salvation into powerlessness by stealing your power by placing it in bondage to what steals it to prop itself up with. Salvation that steals power to prop itself up with as your Gods only true salvation is a lie of Christ's salvation no matter what that salvation exclusively claims to be. A dead religion church is not living Christ salvation when it has to steal your power to give it life it does not have. Bondage that steals your power is not Christ's salvation. What places you in bondage as salvation is not freedom in Christ salvation. It cannot be the grace salvation of Christ. It really only can be a powerless salvation that relies on religious legalism, works and performance as salvation. In its powerless state it really can only be salvation in its own powerless power that has to steal your power to prop itself up as salvation with and project the veneer image that it represents Christ's salvation. The more you idolize it as your God and salvation the more powerless you become before it by the power your idolatry of it turns over to it. Below the pretty church surface that looks like Christ is alive in this church is really a dead religion church that is powerless unless it steals your power to prop itself up with.

The Greek Orthodox have no respect for being a good father, mother or family since they expendable to the propping up of the self glorification and self idolatry of this church. It was the Year of the Family the year they lie lured our son into their corrupt church.

The Greek Orthodox family centered church have a short term memory that easily forgets and so they don't have to remember what they did to Scott Nevins and his family. You see this is in the 2013 and 2014 Jaharis state of the church speeches where he talks about Scott but will not directly state his name. Scott is called a unnamed 'Person'. If you can erase his name you can erase what happened to him and who is really responsible.

No doubt Jaharis was told by the hierarchy to leave his name out and the problem is that he went along with it. He called the monastery a 'disease' but the real disease is the reason why Jaharis went along with the hierarchy and would not speak the name Scott Nevins. His excuse why the Archdiocene council committee report on the monastery report is not delivered or finished (take your pick) is that they are being stone walled. It it the same stone wall religious political game Jaharis is playing that stone walls Scott Nevins name. He is as sick as the sickness he calls the disease. He enables the very thing he calls the disease by playing the sick game the disease plays. The name Scott Nevins is a big GOA secret. The GOA is as SICK as its secrets and the sick Jaharis is keeping the secret of Scott Nevins name.

Michael Jaharis is one of the central key leaders whose co-chairmanship of the Archdiocesan leadership council has led the GOA into a corrupt, failed, irrelevant, cultic, abusive and dying state. He like the hierarchy and elder is not being held transparent or accountable with consequences for his role in leading the GOA into this state. When the whole leadership structure and system is responsible who is going to hold the whole leadership transparent and accountable with consequences? Yeah, like Jaharis is going to bring consequences to Jaharis for the role he played in this corrupt church failure and like a man in that compromised unethical position can then hold the hierarchy accountable for their role in leading the church into this state. No one is going to hold anyone transparent and accountable with consequences for the state of this church or what this church did to Scott Nevins.

Michael Jaharis whose name I am not afraid to state continues to spiritually abuse and shame Scott Nevins by playing the corrupt church game that destroyed our son and now tries to destroy his memory by not stating his name. Scott Nevins meant nothing to Jaharis before this happened to Scott and he means nothing to him today by his not speaking his name.

Jaharis was warned by the Nevins family for years and unless he is completely deaf and blind he did not hear the loud continuous noise and see the expose' we made in warning of what HE and HIS church were doing to our son. He did not lift one finger to help him or his family and just like he did not say one identifying word in his speeches that call Scott Nevins by name. No, instead Jaharis continues to consistently play the corrupt church religious political game that will not say Scott Nevins name. He is as corrupt as the corrupt game he is playing.

He can read this and turn against us and like he was ever for us to begin with. I was told by a member of this corrupt council that the council did not like my confrontation and that I was turning them against me. Like they ever were for us during all of those years they had mind control over our son and when we warned them of what they were doing to him. You will notice I did not stop the confrontation and not one thing has been done to stop what destroyed our son Scott Nevins.

I guess I turned them against us and so Jaharis will not speak his name but will use the situation as a means to his ends what ever they religious political game played ambiguously are(???). He is trying to play both sides and it will never work. I have chose my side and it don't play their rigged and corrupt religious political game and so I NEVER NEEDED THEM after Scott Nevins died at their monastery. Needing them is like needing an incurable DISEASE. It is delusional grandiose self centered and self important thinking to believe we need for anything after what they did to Scott Nevins.

My confrontation was offensive to the leadership council but what they allowed to happen to Scott Nevins was not offensive to them. I can send them pictures of Scott in the morgue and the inside of his car if they want to see and experience what is offensive in the real world outside of their delusional we alone are right world that cannot be wrong about itself no matter how heinous, sick and abusive are its corruptions. Yes, like I need those hypocrites help to stop the elder and this corrupt Christian cult church from killing again and when they enable what kills Christians.

Kill Scott Spiritually, then kill Scott emotionally, then kill Scott physically and then kill his name to kill his memory. That is the religious political game men like Jaharis are playing and I don't play that lying, thieving and murdering game. As far as I am concerned those who play this corrupt game are playing the John 8:42-44 game that Jesus would not play but instead confronted. They then took up stones to kill Jesus to shut Him up. He didn't shut up and He didn't because He refused to play their rigged religious political game that tells you to shut up or there will be consequences.

Oh, my, are the leadership council consequences come to me is that they did not take promised action that is in their best long term interest? I was the problem for pointing out their problem and they didn't like it? So I get the subtle threat that if I don't shut up the council who never was for us will now be against us if I don't shut up? I am not going to shut up unless I on my own decide that without Orthodox coercion, threat or intimidation telling me to shut up.

Those kinds of threats might work among the Orthodox but they don't work with me. They obviously work with the co-chairman of the leadership council by how he shut up about the name SCOTT NEVINS. He is the role model of the corrupt laity leadership who bow to coercion, threat and intimidation from the hierarchy corrupt leadership. They are all systemically connected and corrupted by that corrupted systemic connection between them. No wonder to me about why and how this corrupt leadership council led the GOA into a corrupt state.

I don't back down to corrupt religious bully punk thugs who have an exclusive superior viewpoint of themselves that is above transparency and accountability and that wants to bring consequences to you for telling them exactly what they are in transparency, liars, thieves and murderers. If you back down from them you give them power to rule over you with corruption that only gives them the power to systemically corrupt the entire church. Morally and ethically compromised leadership like this will kill your church dead.

If Jaharis were to have broke the rules and spoke the name Scott Nevins what would have been the consequences come to him? What was he really afraid of and why did he comply with that corrupt demand? Did they threaten to steal one of his grandchildren by involving the child with ephraim? I know why and the Greek Orthodox hate being told why. What is a intentionally exclusive, closed, segregated, insulated and isolated as a self centered system that is self protective hates being told why for how it exposes them in their hiding, secrets, cover ups and lies for who and what they really are.

Jaharis is exposed and I am the ONLY ONE who has exposed him for who he really is in the toxic leadership role he plays in the systemically corrupt, failed and dying Christian cult church. If his leadership role on the council and the leadership council itself are not toxic leadership then why is the GOA dying? This toxic church leadership is going to lead the GOA out its toxic dying state that they led it into? They are going to protect the NAME of their church while they don't state the name of Scott Nevins who to this day they still do not protect by their not stating his name? Life is expendable cheap to the GOA end of self protection. Jaharis protects the very thing he says he wants exposed when he does not state the name Scott Nevins in a speech that DIRECTLY references itself to Scott Nevins. Jaharis is the elder ephraim protector. He is a hypocrite who speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Well, on second thought, one side of his mouth can't say the name Scott Nevins but the other side of his mouth states it wants an end to elder ephraim. Hey, Jaharis, your message sent was loud and clear out of both sides of your mouth.

Greek Orthodox I see right through your rigged toxic church religious political game of systemic corruption you are corporately involved in and now is at the center of your save the GOA strategy. It will not save the GOA, but it will destroy it. It does not surprise me that what you believe will save you here in America will only further destroy you here in America. You know, just like you believed ethnic ghetto exclusiveness would protect you here and now look at what the ethnic ghetto self protection has turned into, you are demographically dying. With men like Jaharis leading the GOA in this type of a corrupt authoritarian structure and system of top down centralized power and control rule it is no surprise at all that you believe you can protect the GOA to save the GOA by a strategy based in authoritarianism and exclusivity. The GOA is designed to be self protection of the worst kind by its authoritarian structure and exclusive claim and so will any save the GOA strategy that will end up not saving the GOA for what it is really centered in as self protection of the exclusive GOA.

The GOA can no more save the GOA than it can say Scott Nevins name. Yes, I know, I have all of this wrong by the subjective filter in subjective negative experience our family has had with the GOA and so it is not objectively true and none of it will come true for the GOA. This about as true to come true for the GOA like my warning of what the GOA was doing to Scott Nevins never came true. It become more true than anyone imagined.

Sotirios is not enough to stop the cult corruption of the elder or the cult leadership corruption of the hierarchy that supports, enables and protects the cult of ephraim. Volumes could be written and unless practical action that takes risks and is not in fear of the consequences that risk will bring when real action is taken or nothing changes. Do you how much NOTHING is?

The elder is not the primary problem. He is a symptom of the primary problem.

Barrie, do you know what the primary problem is, what is the cause of the elder problem? Sotirios in context of ephraim is really only talking about the symptom and he is not pointing at what the symptom points to as the cause of the elder. Yes, it is well written and it brings up some good points, but it is not the solution. Barrie, what is the solution? Explain it to me. If you had the power and control in authority, what would you bring as solution? The problem has been pointed out for decades now and so where is its practically applied solution or at the very least where is it stated?

I believe the effort of We are Orthodox and Orthodox Truth Reform are over. Yanni is a fine Christian man who is deeply concerned about the welfare of his church. However, he has stated something very wrong and that needs to be addressed. He stated it on the We Are Orthodox website under the article heading Don't Hold Your Breath. I take no pleasure pointing this out. It is painful because I know he has a good heart, but I refuse to play favorites and just like I refuse to play the corrupt religious political game like Jaharis does and that plays favorites. I call them like I see them and no matter who they are. The reason why there is no real Christian critical thinking that is objective about Jaharis from GOTR and WAO is because he is a FAVORITE. You don't hold the co-chairman of the council transparent and accountable when he can't hold the hierarchy and elder transparent and accountable. Get it? No one is really being held transparent and accountable and that is why the entire church structure and system is corrupt and being turned into a cult. There is no objective God standards of accountability the leadership council or the hierarchy are held too. The exclusivity of being Gods only true church and that creates a closed, isolated, insulated and segregated church is the subjective church that will not hold itself objectively transparent and accountable. Until that changes nothing changes. You heard it here first. Now tell me how I got that wrong.

The good Christian man, and I really mean that, commented on the 2014 Jaharis state of the church speech in an article on his website called Don't Hold Your Breath. As much as I regret having to say this, it was weak. My concern is with his misplaced reverence, respect and honor in his thinking in approach to the hierarchy on the issues destroying the GOA. The hierarchy does nothing but disrespect and dishonor the Lord, His people and His church by their systemic corruption and protection of the cult of the elder. The hierarchy does not reverence the Lord they reverence themselves and expect to be held in reverence.

Respect, honor and reverence is EARNED. Unfortunately, Yanni has not learned that yet.

After reading Yanni's comment on the speech I came away with the feeling that Yanni is nearly standing alone now. I could be wrong, but his associates at GOTR have not posted an article for over 5 months. They have been in existence since 2010 and really have been powerless to stop the elder or rally a real grass roots effort to deal with the elder and the corrupt hierarchy.

They have spoken many words but have done little to back those words up with paying the price risk taking and sacrificial action. Playing the religious political game is not paying the price, taking the risk or making the necessary sacrifice. You get the church you pay the price for, take the risk for and make the sacrifice for and if paying the price, taking risk and making the sacrifice is playing the religious political game that only renders them diseased, powerless and pathetic losers.

The losers who play the mind game of the religious political game are over. Their effort is as dead as the religious political disease game whose infection kills. Playing the game kills the effort to stop the disease by becoming the disease itself. Yes, play with an infectious disease and then say you are immune to being infected and being a carrier who spreads the disease. Did spiritual IQ's suddenly drop among all of you to believe that if you play the game you will not be turned into the game played and that is destroying your church? Does this disease that is a disease of your mind, how you think, drop your spiritual intelligence? Does it spiritually dumb you down?

Jaharis got the disease wrong and so Jaharis will get the cure to the disease wrong and nothing that really needs to change is going to change. More than the elder needs to change. For instance, and contrary to what Yanni states, the approach to the hierarchy needs to change or nothing changes. Has anyone of you noticed how the current approach to the hierarchy has resulted in no change? Yes, I know, not a one of you has connected those dots. Let me explain it to you with crayons.

Here is the PICTURE drawn with crayons. When I see pictures of Jaharis at the 2014 Congress with the hierarchy I see how much he is being stone walled by playing their rigged religious political power and control game. The game is the disease and not the elder Jaharis spoke too in his 2012 speech. Jaharis is playing this sick religious political disease game with the sick hierarchy. The disease is the game they play. The elder is just a symptom of the real disease that is the sick Christian cult church the GOA. Those who play this game are showing how infected they are by the disease.

Barrie, do you have a different picture of what you see than I do when you see pictures of Jaharis being reverencing, respecting and honoring of the corrupt church hierarchy at the 2014 congress? What do those pictures tell you what he is doing by being there? Is he stopping the elder and dealing with the corruption of the hierarchy? Is he in trouble and suffering consequences for his UNCOMPROMISING STAND that does not play the corrupt hierarchy religious political game that renders anyone who plays it powerless? Do the pictures reveal Jaharis powerless by having turned his power over to the corrupt rulers he willingly submits too as Gods appointed corrupt authority over his life or does he strike you in those pictures as being under the authority of Christ and operating in the power of the Holy Spirit? Where you see Jaharis in those pictures can you imagine Jesus being in the place of Jaharis in those pictures? Would Jesus be found in those pictures like Jaharis is considering how corrupt and cultic the GOA is in the reality of the real world where Jesus really lives?

Be very thoughtful and careful in how you answer. That is, if you have the spiritual courage to answer. Yes, explain to me how Jaharis is operating like Jesus if you believe he is operating like a spiritually mature Christian leader in his senior role and position on the council.

Play that rigged game that is designed to steal your power and manipulate you and you will end up a manipulated powerless puppet pawn being played on the evil strings of the John 8:42-44 hierarchy in their game of sick systemically corrupt and corporate unrepentant disease. Play the game and the toxic of the disease will kill anything you try to do to bring cure to the corrupt religious political disease game.

Jaharis not speaking the name of the unnamed person in his last section of his 2012 and 2014 speeches is him playing the sick, pathetic and powerless religious political disease game. It exposes how infected sick that he is by the disease that is the whole structure and system of the entire GOA. He is the co-chairman of the diseased church leadership council. He co-leads the disease and when he plays the game of the disease he systemically spreads it. He reinforces it by playing it and believes that by playing it that will somehow bring about the desired solution. There will be no solution coming out of that game being played and only a spiritually immature spiritual fool would believe that there will be. False hope is hope in the game providing the solution. God is not playing that game with the council, the hierarchy or JAHARIS and that is exactly why He cannot and is not going to bring solution. It is the game of corporate unrepentant sin and bondage and God don't play that game no matter who playing that game believe they are in their corrupt church of the powerless making religious political game. Was Jesus in the Gospels religious political leadership or was God the Father centered spiritually mature Christian leadership. Was Jesus a religious political ruler or a spiritual ruler? If you can't see the religious political game being played in the GOA the only reason why is because you are playing it. If you agree that playing it will lead to solution you are as sick as the game being played and the game is playing YOU!

If you can erase the persons name you can erase his memory and what really happened to him in the hands of the disease that is the GOA. What, you don't know who I am talking about and because you don't know the unnamed persons name? Erase his name and you erase his worth, value and significance as a Christian created in the image of God. His life is as expendable as is his name with Jaharis playing this don't speak his name game. Jaharis, the corrupt religious codependent enabler of the game, went along with the hierarchy requirement that the unnamed persons name not be named.

Jaharis is a shame based Christian leader leading in a shame based church that shames by not stating this unnamed persons name. It is the shamed and shaming game the corrupt religious political game plays. Was this unnamed person shamed to his death by the dead church that is shamed based? Shame killed this 'person' like it is now killing this 'persons' name that the shaming Jaharis cannot speak? Is shame killing the GOA?

Oh, I see, shame is the solution to shame based corrupt religious political game that shames. Jaharis shaming this deceased person by not stating his name is the solution to what shamed him to his death. Makes perfect sane rational sense to those who exist in the irrational shame based church. Jaharis is Yanni's hero who he places his hope in to bring solution by shame and that is why he will not hold him objectively transparent and accountable. Yanni, is playing the shame game like Jaharis plays the corrupt religious political game that shames. This entire shame based church is a giant systemically corrupt religious political game that shames and all are involved in the shame game it plays and that renders them powerless by shame. They can no more release that council monastery report as they can say this unnamed persons name. Yes, so tell me how they are not playing the shame based church religious political game that shames them into powerlessness by shamelessly stealing their power that they by shame willing hand over to the shame based church to use their power to shame them into powerlessness with. It is vicious circle of shamed and shaming. Jaharis is shamed and shaming in his playing this shame game.

The unnamed person was part of the GOA church family? This unnamed person has a family of origin? What is the name of his family of origin? The elder was this unnamed persons spiritual FATHER in the monastery that is part of the GOA church family?

Looks like to me that since Jaharis will not speak this unnamed persons name he was never a member of the GOA church family and that the church leadership is , in effect, excommunicating this unnamed person and his name. Is this unnamed person not written in the Book of Eternal Life? Oh, I see it isn't and so this person is not part of the greater family of God and where God the Father is his Father in heaven and because he is not in heaven.

If his name is not written in the book of eternal life then why should Jaharis speak this unnamed persons name? He never was part of the GOA church family and so why even mention his name? This person has no worth, value or significance to God and so why mention his name? His name means nothing like his life means nothing to those who will not speak this persons name.

Of course, no one at GOTR or WAO has ever mentioned that Jaharis will not speak this persons name or why he will not. They are playing the corrupt, pathetic, powerless and loser religious political game right along with Jaharis. They are diseased and at the same time believe they are the cure to the disease. If you point out why the unnamed persons name is being played with by the corrupt religious political gamer Michael Jaharis that would mean holding him transparent and accountable objectively and he will not be seen as the brave hero, but will instead be seen as he really is as a spiritual coward by his not speaking this persons name. It would expose why and how Jaharis is playing the sick religious political game, it will expose his sickness in playing it.

Brain cancer is going to cure brain cancer. The diseased mind is going to cure the diseased mind. The disease is the cure to the disease by playing the disease game in their sick Orthodox Minds. Playing the sick diseased religious political game is the cure to the sick disease of the religious political game in their sick game playing minds. Play that sick game and your effort will become as sick as that game and you will not only lose game you will lose your effort to stop the very sick game all of you are playing. You cannot stop the game or the disease by playing the game and being the disease that plays the sick game that is the disease.

Not saying this unnamed persons name may seem like a LITTLE matter. In reality it is the little of the little leaven that leavens the whole lump. It is a symptom of the disease pointing right at Jaharis as a CARRIER of the disease by playing the religious political game that is the disease. It exposes the leavened state of Jaharis on the leavened council in the leavened church.

Yanni, didn't notice that Jaharis addressed the EP and Astoria, NY in his 2012 state of the church speech and that he also didn't in his 2014 state of the church speech? Two times in a row. Why is that? Did he omit it intentionally like Jaharis did along with the unnamed persons name? Yes, tell me how that is not all of you being the disease that plays the disease game. Has Astoria NY been erased like this unnamed persons name has been erased? Did the EP speaking to the 2014 congress by Skype have anything religious political game to do with why Jaharis did not bringing Astoria, NY up?

Oh, but, Ashley, are you not appreciating that Jaharis still brought the issue up of the unnamed persons death and the problem with the monastery? Aren't you glad he didn't forget about it? It looks like to me that the unnamed person is just a pawn being played in the religious political game. It looks like to me this unnamed person is just a means to some end Jaharis wants to accomplish by playing the rigged, powerless and loser religious political game. A pawn does not have a name like in a child's board game. It is an object played in the game. The unnamed person is not a person. The pawn is an object and not a person. A pawn is expendable and so is this unnamed persons name and the person himself. GOTR and WAO tell me how I got that wrong.

With men like Jaharis on your side you might as well believe that the disease is the cure to the disease. Yes, what is diseased is on your side. Only a spiritual moron would believe that. Jaharis is the disease like the council, hierarchy, elder and entire church is the disease. The GOA is the disease and everyone in it is the diseased. Playing the game of the disease is the systemic spread of its pathology through the entire structure and system of the diseased church.

There will be no cure coming to the disease that is the GOA when those who say they want to bring a cure to the corrupt and failed state of their church are the disease itself. If you play the sick religious political game you are sick with the disease of the game. Those with spiritual EBOLA cannot bring a cure to their sick state. Those who will not separate themselves from the dead body of their diseased church will be infected just like those who will not separate themselves from the dead body of an EBOLA victim become infected and spread the disease to others.

All analogies break down at a certain point but no analogy can really describe the breakdown of this dead body of a church killed by the religious political sick diseased game everyone plays in this corporately systemically corrupt and unrepentant in bondage Christian cult church.

Yes, approach the hierarchy like Yanni tells you too and see what they deliver in return to you. How has that approach methodology turned out for all of you? Its the cure to the disease, right? So, where is the cure then?

The definition of insanity is using the same failed methodology over and over again believing that the next time it used that it will not fail. The insanity is the result of the disease that infects the mind. How you think determines your effort outcome in the real world. How your diseased church thinks has determined its real world outcome. How a deceased church killed the disease think is dead. Yes, tell me how those who play the game of the disease are not the disease that ultimately kills the church dead.

The new save the GOA strategy that Jaharis believes in is the cure to the sick diseased state of the GOA? He supports the systemically corrupt hierarchy in the save the GOA strategy and at the same time wants the elder who they enable,support and protect to come down. The corrupt hierarchy is not the disease, but the elder is and so the elder goes and the corrupt hierarchy that is the real corrupt power and control causing the disease corruption of the entire GOA stays. That's a strategy that is the solution cure to the disease killing the GOA?

Yanni, how failed does your approach methodology have to get before you figure out it is a failed approach methodology? It has been the methodology since 2010 and it has not worked. In another 4 years it will work? Not exposing Jaharis by objective transparency and accountability is going to cure the disease?

Yanni, there is no easy way of telling you this. You have the disease. You are the generational transmission of it, the systemic spread of it. The disease has infected you in ways you do not see and that is a symptom of this disease. It blinds you and since it is a disease of the mind it tells your mind what its cure is and so it will never be cured. The disease is a liar who steals the mind to steal the church to kill the church once it is owned by the disease that stole it. The disease turns the church into the disease and NO ONE escapes being infected. Oh, I see, Yanni and his associates believe they are cured of the disease and when no one is immune in a structure and system of church this deeply infected and for this long of a period of time being infected and where everyone in this church culture of disease is indoctrinated by and into the disease.

Any save the GOA strategy is infected with the disease and the disease will kill the strategy dead.

I know what your church future is for its next generation. It is a continuation of the disease that is the GOA and unfortunately Yanni is my proof.

There is a cure to the disease but the disease of the mind that this disease is will convince those infected that their methodology that does not cure the disease is the cure to the disease. Approach the disease with respect, honor and reverence and that will cure it, right, Yanni? Play the disease game and believe that is its cure, right, Yanni?

The real tragedy here is that the next generation of leaders in the GOA is practicing the same powerless making and corrupt religious political game as the previous generation did. Generational transmission of the corrupt religious political game is alive and well in the GOA and at the same time the GOA is dead and sick for it.

Now, of course, I have this all wrong. The game being played says so and who can argue with the Gods only true Christians in Gods only true church when they are always so God right and true about themselves and their corrupt, failed, irrelevant, abusive, incompetent, cultic and dying outcome proves how Gods only true and right that they are. The religious political powerless and corruption making game proves that it is the authority of Christ in the power of Holy Spirit that is the God leading the GOA through men like Jaharis, the hierarchy and the leadership of the council. Why Jesus played this same powerless and corruption making game with the Sanhedrin and Pharisee's in the Gospels. He is the role model to those who play this rigged pathetic loser making game. He approached those who were the corrupt, exclusively God right and true, self centered and self protective rulers of authoritarian power and control with reverence, respect, loyalty, honor and in submission to their authority. He was all about Greek Orthodox nice etiquette, reverencing protocol and polite manners in His relationship with the evil one and those under his rule power and control and that wanted to kill Him. You know, like all of the Greek Orthodox want the same relationship with those who kill their church dead. Christ never aired their dirty laundry in front of them when He was in their midst or where they were gathered together. He never showed up in person where they were gathered and backed His words up with price paying, risk taking and sacrificial action that confronted them to their faces right in front of each other. He never took them on when He was vastly outnumbered. He was easily intimidated, coerced and threatened and made afraid of the consequences if He showed up and confronted them in a fashion they would not want or like.

Considering this is the reality of the situation that Christ accepted it would just not have been the right time and place to confront them. He came to us at the wrong time and so it was not the time to stand. It had not gotten corrupt enough yet to take action. He interacted, negotiated and compromised with them in their religious political game He played with them and He did that with the highest honor, reverence and respect of them. He believed that was the solution. Jesus did not come as the cure to the disease. He came as the disease itself so that He would be accepted by the disease and so that they would listen and believe Him. Jesus bowed in submission to the disease as His God appointed authority. If He confronted the disease and that offended the disease then the disease never could have been cured by its reaction to His confrontation. They never would have gone along with Him as the cure if He had confronted them and turned them against Him. He walked among them as if He was walking on egg shells. Break the shells and He would have broke unity with them and then where would He had been left without them being in unity with Him? He needed them or He would fail without them. The only thing left that would save them was Christ playing their game with them and that's why He played along with them.

If that previous paragraph sounds ridiculous just ask Yanni if that is not how Jesus Christ came to us and approached those who believed they were Gods only true religious rulers and who believed no rule compared to their God only right and true rule.

Not to worry when Jaharis dies or retires from the council he will be replaced with the same shame based religious game player laity leader or worse. Like the hierarchy has not already figured that out and are not wanting someone 100% in their corrupt camp in that position on the council and like they don't have the power and control to make that happen. Like they don't want to erase Jaharis and replace him with who will help erase any issue that points right at their systemic corruption. Like they will allow a person into that position who will not submit too and obey their corrupt religious political game. Like they ever would have allowed Jaharis into this position had they known he would end up being a problem for them. Having said that, he is not a problem they can't handle for how he plays their corrupt religious political game. It is the person who absolutely will not tolerate or play the game that they fear and so they really have nothing to fear from Jaharis or anyone they replace him with. Jaharis is neutralized and they know it. He neutralized himself by playing their neutralizing game that renders those who play it powerless neutralized.

Don't hold your breath with the highest honor, reverence and respect. Play the shame based corrupt religious political game with the highest honor, reverence and respect for it and those who play it and rule over it. Yanni, the message you sent was crystal, honor, reverence and respect corrupt and unrepentant senior church rulers and as if they were holy men of God worthy of honor, reverence and respect they have earned. Your effort and stand is over when you advocate that. It is no wonder why your church is over in America and why no save the GOA strategy will work if that is thinking and attitude towards the corrupt rulers who lead the strategy and who will not repent.

Yanni, if it comes down to don't hold your breath then why stay and waste your breath on what is not going to change? I know why you stay. You are part of the game being played and that plays you into staying with the game. I am not going to hold my breath waiting to see if your change your mind about how you stated to approach the sick disease with honor, reverence and respect. That has about as much a chance of happening as the save the GOA strategy will see success.

I am very sad for you Yanni. You represent the hope of the future of your church and now by how you see the corrupt authority I see what your generation means for your church future. Nothing is going to change. It is all just going to grow worse and worse. Mark my words Yanni, it is all just going to grow worse and worse. You could have been a catalyst of change and you could have led your generation into that change but not now. Jesus in the Gospels is not your role model the corrupt religious political game being played is your role model. You are a product of the culture of church corruption indoctrination that reverences, honors and respects the rulers of the corrupt religious political game that they play. There is no other approach to them than reverence, honor and respect that they have not earned. The wages of their sin has earned your church the state of being a Christian cult. Your rulers have exactly what they want from you and that is reverence, honor and respect in approaching them and no matter what they have done and no matter how corrupt they become.
