Living hope, the church that love bombs new people….gets them under cult like control…..expels anyone who dares to question…..lies to their own congregation about what really happened (bearing in mind they have got rid of the people so no other side)…. Buys a house for their lead pastor who travels endlessly to other parts of the world…the house was to be used as a base to house training and visitors so was sold as a part church building even though it’s not seemingly used like that….was part bought a house in port Erin when he first came over to port st mary baptist church…..supported by port st Mary church… moved to a bigger house in port st mary and and without sharing a lot more Lots of leadership left and trustees were virtually disintegrated, business status changed etc …. jeepers you could go on and on and on and on, did I mention Louis group… one pastor is related to another (brother in law) and was brought over to join in the party, neither studied theology. im amazed they have lasted.

Living hope tithing Interesting video from Living Hope church. My questions are: 1. Is there anyone who has been witness to, or can provide evidence of the church helping them…..they suggest 30 in their own church and hundreds more outside… Genuine question! 2. Is this theology “prosperity preaching”? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/andrewbrown/2013/may/29/prosperity-gospel-mockery-christianity Maybe their context is totally different than the one referred to above. interested to hear of any “good news” stories, which perhaps equate to the type of income this church appears to receive.

Very interesting post just put on by someone who is scared to put their name to their post due to fear of intimidation. See below. Has this all gone to far?? When is a charity not a charity but a profit making enterprise for those in the know? Quoted from iom news and politics “ This post is being done under a pseudonym due to fear of libel action and intimidation from the living hope church. This week has been a very tough experience for me. On Thursday evening I was at the Living Hope Church conference in the Villa Marina. I have been a member of the church for about a year now and these past couple of days have shown me the true side of the living hope church. The Thursday evening had a pastor from South Africa called Ryan Kingsley who gave a homophobic sermon on “sexual immorality”. The pastor used the analogy of a flock of sheep and if one sheep has cut its leg, it infects the rest of the Flock. He told us to “look out for wolfs in sheeps clothing”. Shocked and stunned, I walked out of the villa as this was to far. The day previous at the villa a gentleman with Prostate cancer was told that he did not need to take his medication or go to hospital as the “Holy Spirit would heal him” from a pastor called Jason Livingston. I was shocked. I’m sorry that it has had to come to me venting my anger and upset through Facebook but I feel this is the only way I will get my story across. Many people have left the church as it is becoming more and more extortianate. They were asking tbat we sell our houses and remortgage our homes in order to fund the Church. I’ve attached a Photo of the standing order form used by the church. They are asking for more and more money to fund churches in South Africa as the Joshua Generation church is getting thrown out of buildings due to the extreme views such as whipping children and preaching death to homosexuals. I hope this post does some good. Regards J”
