Anglican Church asks you to donate all your money on Sunday's; Geoff Lin says money is "evil" so you should give it ALL away <-- retard!

leader of a group called Evangelical Union (now known as Evangelical
Students) at the University of Adelaide, when I was in Australia. Now
I am religious too, but he was irrelevant, he spent 100% of his time
trying to convince students that charismaticism was evil, that music
was evil (obviously he thinks everything God makes is "evil"), money
was evil. He was trying to convert people to his church (Holy
Trinity), even though the group was a "non-denominational" group. He
tries to convince people everything he says is gospel because he has a
law degree. He doesn't argue his points logically. He was arrogant,
rude, close-minded. He is boring. He discriminates against Catholics,
Lutherans, Baptists, Pentecostals.
My question for one is if he thinks money is evil, why did the dude
study a Law degree from the University of Sydney?
The Evangelical Union should probably be renamed to "Anglican Union"
because that's what the group consists of.
This is only my opinion, and you may want to hear some of his
preaching.

Geoffrey Lin (also known as Geoff Lin) representing the Christian Club
at the University of Adelaide (ES Adelaide, short for Evangelical
Students) and the Atheist Club had a "battle" of words to see feat as
to whether God was "dead" or not.
Obviously, the Athiest Club pulled no punches and made it clear that
God could not be "dead" since he was never "alive"; however, even IF
he was alive, he was now "dead" because the unneed of Him (God) in
modern society.
Anyway, you can see the full clip (there are three) on YouTube; in
which Geoff Lin (the Christian Worker) infamously loses to the Athiest
teenager. However, as with much Anglican propoganda, Lin retains his
smile and "smirks" at the video camera ending the session with a huge
applause from the Christian group, despite his obviously flawed
argument for the need of God.
Lin's argument was based on the fact that people in the modern world
face hurt, and that if there was no God, there was nobody to get the
agent of hate back. Obviously, this argument clearly shows reason man
MADE God (and God did not make man), however.
PS: Geoff Lin has a degree in Law, and is a pastor at Holy Trinity
Adelaide (Anglican Church).
------
It totally beats me why Reuben Salagaras would have studied Law/
Engineering, but
most possibly because it's one of the more difficult subjects at
University, so he wanted to up his respect.
I felt that as a leader he was arrogant, he always thought he was
right, like Geoff Lin, studied law for the pride (which is
unbiblical). His life was full of holes.
He then felt that he could only feel loved from Ministry, so pursued
that.
Another example of a person who has created God in His image, rather
than believing He was created in God's image. No wonder you see so
many arrogant and proud Anglican ministers who have Law degrees but
never practice it. I think it may also extend to the fact he found
that his life wasn't "clean" and that he would have to disclose "Sins"
that he didn't want to...

I've been attending the University of Adelaide Christian group on-and-
off for the past three years; I've graduated as of December 2008. And
I have to report it was an utter waste of time. It did not challenge
me; the principles that were discussed were not thought-provoking and
the arguments put forward were simply not strong.
As a girl however, I was assigned to a "small group" (also known as a
"cell group" by some Churches) and I was led by Miriam (she has since
been married, and is now Miriam Telfer, or maybe it's Miriam Telfa).
Her father was apparently a
lecturer at the University of Adelaide. Anyway, for what it's worth, I
was never contacted other than the ocassional automatic-email, and for
someone who was at-the-time studying "Nursing" (as I recall), I
obviously didn't feel very well "nursed" in the group. The group was
sectarian and I can only compare it to the "Exclusive Brethren" sect
in Adelaide. Anyway, the feeling that I got from it was everybody (all
the "Christians") would be in a group dancing; and I would be left
out. As I recall she was from St Matthew's Church in Kensington, which
is a mainstream Anglican Church of Australia, which makes it all-the-
more surprising, considering this evangelical denomination often
boasts of its "fellowship" with people - obviously they are referring
to other Christians, rather than people in general.
Miriam shared things with me that are too private to put on a public
forum (and I will get in trouble for confidentiality breach), but
Miriam Telfer was let's just say not as "clean" as we all might think.
She did some pretty "naughty" things to say the least. I think she was
hypocritical. I think she's faking a lot of her life. I think she was
a rubbish leader. As a leader Miriam Telfer freaked the absolute hell
out of me in our small group session. I think she must have paranoid
schizophrenia or something. She was telling me a ghost was out to get
me; contradicted herself and said that ghosts dont exist. Miracles
dont happen. freakin sociopath, the woman is.
The other person that really caught my attention was Reuben Salagaras,
who was at that time the president of EU Adelaide (now known as ES
Adelaide). Reuben Salagaras would always make a point. Contradict it.
Sounds like he has schizophrenia.
Mark Peterson was the person in charge of the music, and they tried to
sing songs that sounded like pop songs to attract people for the sake
of it. The group would always argue about what to sing and what not to
sing. It wasn't that great-an-atmosphere, in my opinion, for any
intrapersonal growth, if you look at it from the perspective of
Maslow's Hiearchy of Needs.
Mark Peterson spent all of his time trying to convince everybody music
was "evil". (how ridiculous, God made music!). He always would use the
example of a U2 concert which makes you feel "awesome". How
interesting, for the Anglican Church has created many priests who are
"feeling" children. He has this heretical belief of a dichotomy
between flesh and spirit (that the more spiritual you want to be, the
less "flesh" you have to be). These people also believe that Jesus was
not human because if he was human he cannot be godly (this group
includes muslims). Therefore, the more "godlier" you want to be, the
less "music" you should have in yoru service. RIDICULOUS!
Mark Peterson is IRRELEVANT, he is ARROGANT, cocky, he has strong
opinions, little empirical evidence. Thinks he's great, doesn't live
up to the hype. He's not a great instrument player. He looks like he's
got a psychological issue; doesn't seem to understand he BAGS music,
but then PLAYS music. Sounds like he might have schizophrenia.

He's God's holy man who's meant to help the helpless - but meet Rev Geoffrey Lin: a great man of smear!
On Sunday January 29, 2012, I (Geoffrey Lin) has tried to drag out the big guns in the South Australian Police force, to for a second time, accuse Jeremy Shum (who was involved with the Burnside Council elections 2010) for ousting him to the Anglican Diocese for engagement in child pornography and child sex abuse, according to iPetitions.com. However, the team at Shum's say there is no evidence to show Shum made these claims - but that "one does wonder why the investigation occurred if it [Geoff Lin views child pornography and engages in child sex abuse] is untrue". It then goes on to say the process was rescinded because of "lack of available evidence", noting that Mr. Lin has a law degree to defend himself with.
If you think these allegations that Geoff are making are vexatious, look at what his white bimbo wife (Wendy, with the self stylized surname Lin) has to say here: http://ministry-wives.blogspot.com/2009/10/interview-with-wendy-lin.html
"There has also been one specific challenge. A few years ago Geoff was the target of a smear campaign. It was incredibly unsettling and upsetting (although more so for me than him). I felt attacked and threatened, and wanted to rise up and defend Geoff. At the time, I also felt quite unsafe. However, the unstinting support of our church community, family and friends was wonderful, which made us even more grateful for them."
But that's beside the point of what iPetitions really implicates Mr. Lin for. It states that he is a youth worker with the AFES (Evangelical Union aka Envangelical Students), who, inter alia:
- Geoff Lin tries to convince students anabaptists/presbyterian christians are “evil”, and that all apart of AFES (despite being “non-denominational”) should switch allegiances to his Holy Trinity Church - but fails to remind them more people at his church, means more dollars, and hence higher salary rates
- Geoff Lin is described psychoanalytically as “arrogant”, “rude” and “close-minded”
- Instead of using his law degree (from the University of Sydney) to find a “proper job”, Geoffrey Lin tries to solicit money from “university students” by cocky-ing out his law degree
- Geoffrey Lin was also described as having the “s*** beaten out of him” by the Atheists club at UofA. In it, he “smirks” despite losing the God argument
- Geoff Lin is also most famous for making the joke that he wanted to be an Anglican priest so he could send his kids to St Peters (a private Anglican school) for 50% of the cost – and though it was a joe, was completely and utterly inappropriate
Information also enlisted includes:
- Holy Trinity Adelaide has 3 campuses and employes 44 people, with $2.2m on just the payroll (assuming each person earns $50k ONLY). Now you know what your offering is going towards. At the church, I once heard a pastor brag about getting free fringe benefits, and being able to send his kids to their prestigious Anglican private schools at 50% of the cost. So this is not to remember the millions of tax-free dollars Holy Trinity earns via its private schools, and capital gains on property given to it by the government for free 50 odd years ago.
- Miriam Telfer (Nurse from St. Kensington’s Anglican Church) in a cat fight online! She was described by a colleague as a leader of a small group at Adelaide University, whilst studying nursing there. She also attended St. Matthew’s Church in Kensington. Apparently, she shared to the third party about some sexually deviant practices, which accordingly showed she was not “clean”, that she was “hypocritical” and “faking”. She said Miriam Telfer “can’t” lead a small group, and likely suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, saying a ghost was out to get her. Miriam Telfer was described as a “sociopath”.
- Ps Reuben Salagaras, originally from St Matthew’s Kensington Anglican Church, was the president of the Evangelical Union (EU) AFES Evangelical Students. He studied law/engineering, but falling to get a job, went to study ministry. He has been referred to as “arrogant” and “proud”. He was told to be “controlling” and “dominating”. He has been accused of spending $70k in taxpayer dollars, then going to religious studies.
- Ps Mark Peterson (also Holy Trinity Adelaide) was accused of being there just to sell his private CD’s and website merchandise. He is accused of being an “annoyance” and was “threatening”, that he was “irrelevant”, “arrogant”, “cocking” with “strong opinions” but little “empirical evidence”. His theology was also described as “heterical”. He was described as a “dog” out to get your money (via donations), preying on the weak, and profiting from religion. He was also desired as “cocky”, “arrogant”, and that he shouldn’t be a pastor. Mark Petrson is said to be the person in charge of music, using pop song-sounding jingles to attract people, using things like “musical atmosphere” (like a U2 concert). Similarly, Mark Peterson would try to convince everybody secular music was “evil”, and that they should listen to HIS “Christian” music. Also interesting is this early church heresy of the false dichotomy between flesh and spirit (i.e. the more spiritual you want to be, the less “flesh” you have to be). These people thus believed Jesus was not human because if he was human he cannot be godly. Therefore, to be more “godlier”, they need to be less into “worldy” music. This is the false theology that Mark Peterson is promulgating! Mark Peterson was also described as “looking like he’s got psychological issues”, most likely schizophrenia.
Anyway, one just wonders why the folks at the Shum Camp haven't yet lodged a complaint with the Police Complaints Authority, which among other things, should claim:
- Of his responses to a questioning police officer, Jeremy stated "I am not going to write something in the newspaper if that's what you want me to do" on one occasion, and was also asked about who his supporters were (which is politically sensitive information).
- That since 2006, Jeremy has been subjected to online bullying, and there is publicly available evidence that this originated from UniSA. However, no computers have been seized apart from the Shum's - notably, that of Geoffrey Lin, Heather Kennett and Christian Sandor, who continue to target Jeremy online with defamatory statements - such as that he is gay, stealing his identity to perpetrate this harassment and bullying.
- That the police have for the past three occasions shown up on a Sunday (the Holy day of rest), with clear knowledge that Jeremy is Christian.
- In what is a clear fishing expedition, the police have over the past seven years, seized the Shum camp's computers three times, spoken to Jeremy perhaps seven times, and despite not finding a shred of evidence each time, continue to seize their computers whensoever they feel right to. Talk about a bully tactic, Mr. Jim Jeffery!
- Given that this is already the 3rd strike, if there is again no evidence this time round, this bullying behavior must cease and desist - and a court order should be sought next time to search (cf. the whim of a senior police officer).
PS: This is a parody, and shouldn't be taken as statement of fact
Jeff responded:
> What I find particularly interesting is why the South Australian Police have executed a computer seizure warrant for the Shum camp, based upon the fact there is highly implicating evidence that is supposedly RECENT, when in fact the Shumeister wasn't even within that jurisdiction at the time. In other words, it is IMPOSSIBLE this evidence exists for the "reason to suspect" - and the Police are blatantly "fishing" for evidence. And let me remind you, within a 7 year period, this has already been the 3rd time. Don't you think that SAPOL would actually act principled and ethically, and conduct a search on say Rev Geoffrey Lin, Ms Heather Kennett, or Dr Christian Sandor? And also- why isn't SAPOL finding anything???????????
> Just goes to show what lengths Jim Jeffery and his pals at the SAPOL Hi-Tech Crime Center will go to narcissistically attempt to hurt others. This guy is a psychopath - just read about how he tried to severe freedom of religion with regard to Ps. Rocco Leo!
Bentley then replied:
> Add to the above several comments I heard were stated by SAPOL:
> - "If it's not you [Jeremy], it could be anyone off the streets": Are you kidding me? Three computer seizures in 7 years, based upon the remote fact it COULD be him? Pfft...
> - They were apparently taking photographic video content of children under the age of 15: This is blatant intimidation that undermines even the most harassing of current affair programs
> - Det Insp Jim Jeffery who stated "We will take your computer for a couple of weeks", whch in fact turned out to be just over 8 months. For a superintendent, this guy is deceitful and dishonest.
> And as the zillions of documents online suggest, we know the connections between SAPOL, Rosemary Owens, Adelaide Uni, and the University of South Australia.
> All we can wonder, is in an interstate jurisdiction, where you can't use "reasonable cause to suspect" and ask a senior police officer - but rather get a court order, a judge - whether they'll let 'em through the hoop.
> I sense a Police Complaints Authority investigation :)
Mr Head then replied:
> Apparently, somebody put Geoff Lin's face on a gay sex image and posted it to the whole of Mr. Lin's church - Rev. Geoff Lin accuses Jeremy Shum for doing that.
> I'd say Lin is a tad paranoid there.
> No one is out to get you, Rev Geoff and Wendy Lin
Rose then said:
> Don't forget the hyper continuous phone calls that Rosemary Owens is making to the Shum camp, faking to be Australian Federal Police investigators - I'd say, impersonating a police officer - federal offense?
> Oh - can I add this is the same Geoff in who went around to all of Jeremy's social circle smearing that he had apparently posted defamatory content about him. Geoff Lin is a sociopath.
