The next Community Forum allowing ex-members of Word of Faith Fellowship (WOFF) to introduce themselves and answer questions will be held Saturday, April 7th at 1:00PM. The location will be the Spindale House. All are welcome.
The proposed agenda includes these speakers. We will begin with an introduction by Ben Cooper. He will give our guidelines for the meeting which will include explaining the role of the moderator. Next, Micah Cooper will list the characteristics of cults- high-demand, dangerous groups. She will draw from her personal experience as well as her extensive reading on these types of groups.
Nancy Burnette and Matthew Fenner will follow by reviewing their documented experiences which include the failures of local authorities to protect the children of WOFF. Next, Christina Bryant and Jamey Anderson will tackle a few of the most prevalent fabrications and misstatements publicly put forth by WOFF. This effort to dispel lies and tell the “secrets” of WOFF is not captained by one disgruntled family.
I will take the podium next and provide an overview and update on several of the court cases which WOFF has been a part of over the years. There will be information from the Associated Press articles of 2017 as well as an update on the Fenner case.
After these subjects are covered, former members will be given an opportunity to introduce themselves and bring out their unique perspectives as seems fit.
From here, the moderator will oversee the question and answer period. Please, be prepared to ask your questions. We will accept the written questions and answer as many as time allows. We ask everyone to be aware that questions on subjects which require more transparency than our group is able to provide may be passed over and handled in another venue.
Our hopes for this meeting include providing accurate answers to the questions which the community poses. At the conclusion of the question/answer period, there may be time for one on one conversation with ex-members.
Additionally, we will provide a resource list which will include contact information to various governmental authorities and leaders. We believe that when citizens voice their concerns – our leaders need to listen and respond.
We had a healthy exchange of information last year and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. More of the same is expected this year as several more topics introduced by the AP are in the public eye. Come and see for yourself ex-members tell their experiences and answer your questions.
Tell your friends and neighbors about this event. Share this post on your social media and pass the word. Please, support our efforts to pull back the curtain of deception which has shrouded WOFF for years.
