Perhaps. The only problem I may foresee is my information may be obsolete at this point as evidences pertaining to one of the allegations could have been erased and destroyed as it has been almost 10 years since then. So it is now just verbal information now unless more parties willing to come out.

Whatever it is, I really admire your courage to speak up although it is perfectly understandable you provide little details. :udaman:

No. My account was that of a CHC church goer. Above was what Kong Hee told us.

I think he will be proud to know of your faith in him. Many people also believed Jim Jones.

I never actually believed Kong Hee's account. That was one of the main triggers that caused me to leave the church. The final trigger was related to an activity relating to Crossover Project. His past actions (the ones I personally observed) before this case have been enough for me to deem him unfit to be a God's shepherd, hence I refuse to address him as a Pastor.

Please be clear above was only an opinion and you are free to disagree with me.[/quote]Dreamaurora,

Simple, a God's shepherd is one who truly seeks to emulate Jesus, the Shepherd who became the Lamb.

Actually, Jesus did elaborate what a good shepherd should be in John 10. You can go read up on it. Notice the overlying theme of sacrifice in the those passages.

Of course no human being can possibly approach Jesus' standard of morality and living. I do not mind an imperfect shepherd or pastor, noone is free from sin, and that includes me. But not acknowledging the sins and to continue a life of unrepentance is one that is totally unacceptable for a God's shepherd. Such shepherd will definitely lead his/her sheeps astray.

Don’t think channel u 11pm mentioned anything about Chc tonite…old news soon.
