Five years from now Jones will be flat broke after his so-called church takes most if not all of his money.
Why is everyone asuming that the church that Angus T. Jones is a member of is not a true church but a cult? I've never heard of the church until yesterday, so I know very little about this particular church. It may be a cult, but then again, it may not be a cult. Why is it that everytime some one turns their life around and starts professing that they found religion or develop a relationship with Christ, we are so quick to judge them as going off the deep end or that the church or religious sect they are now affliated with is a cult? Yet, when someone becomes a muslim or a Sciencetogolist, we are suppose to question their beliefs?
Seventh-Day Adventists are not a cult.
They just believe Saturday, not Sunday, is the Sabbath.
On the other hand, their practice of worshipping on Saturday gave a church I used to go a temporary home. So you'll forgive me, I hope, for having this bias. My church was in the inner city (okay, 70,000 people IS a city) and shortly after my parents and I moved to where I live now, the church made the decision to merge with a new suburban church they were helping start. The Seventh Day Adventist church was one of the new church's temporary homes. The new church has had its own building for 20 years now.
The maintstream 7th Day Adventist Church may not be a cult, but the man Angus Jones appears to be following is Christopher Hudson. The church has distanced itself from Hudson, stating; “He’s an independent ministry, not a pastor.”
Some of Hudson's past pronouncements:
- Rapper Jay-Z is a devil-worshipping Freemason.
- Masturbation is a sin.
- Obamacare is a “carbon copy” of Hitler’s health-care policies.
- New York City’s post-Hurricane Sandy gas shortage was a harbinger of a food-shortage crisis and cannibalism, referencing a “similar” event in the Bible when the city of Jerusalem was seized by the Roman armies in 70 A.D: Quoting Hudson; “It was so severe that women began to cannibalize their own children. Your baby may start looking like a chicken wing.”
The man Jones is idolizing is no mainstream 7th Day Adventist.
