Quote from Hanifa: Dear ReadersFrom a purely human standpoint, devoid of any depth of understanding and based upon mere ocular evidence, one can comprehend how it is that those of you who have had such a problem with the S*E*X aspect of Strong City might have grown imaginations regarding those events that have gone "hog-wild", as Anaiah so aptly put it.

My thought-processes function quite well I think, but try as I might, I am unable to "see" things the way you all seem to. I do not understand why (if this is not about sex and sexual attraction)the only ones Wayne Bent was called to consummate with are either beautiful and/or young women. This disparity is quite obvious to even a casual observer. Why weren't any men, homely women, or old women in need and worthy of at the very least a healing? I also wonder how all of you will feel 5, 10 or 20 years from now if the promised journey has not yet come to fruition? To be honest, I think there has been more focus within your group on the "messenger" Wayne Bent than on God. Your group is in no way unique in this...I see it quite a lot where the charasmatic pastor of a church seems to become more of a deity than God himself.

Bethabara said: As in the Bible and other times in history, now and then God calls people to physically act out a spiritual truth, as a strong "visual aid" in order to help people "get it." Why is this spiritual truth, then, not acted out on anyone but attractive and/or young girls and women. Why not men, why not older/less attractive woman? I think this act is not spiritual, but of the flesh.
