No one ever joins a cult, what they join is something that looks like a good thing. Many times they don't have the ability or education to be logically objective so they tend to remain in a possibly destructive situation not knowing the danger they are in.

For more detailed information on the Potter's House here are some posts I have written on what you need to know about them -

About Me:
 
The Potter's House Christian Fellowship has been known historically as a bible based christian cult. One of the areas of abuse is that of false doctrines. The Potter's House teach that the pastor is God's very authority in the life of the church members. This means there is a great burden for the members to submit and obey the pastor as IF they were obeying God Himself. This makes it extremely difficult for the members to know what the pastor can and can't do since everything can be justified by the claim "God says". Long term exposure to this teaching makes it more difficult for a member to disagree with the pastor without being made to feel guilty for the sin of rebellion against God.

I was in the Potter's House for 5 years where I had a pastor whom also believed himself to be God's authority in lives of the church members. After a very serious matter regarding my pastor's attitude and ministry I began to question the legitimacy and biblical accuracy of this headship doctrine. There are many other doctrinal errors with this church, yet headship remains to be amongst the most destructive to lives and families.

I ask those whom read and watch my videos to also be on alert, this is what the church teaches and each person should become aware so that they can make an informed decision regarding the Potter's House Christian Fellowship ruled by Wayman Mitchell. If there is anything I could do to help you regarding this church please let me know.

Remember as Christians we have a right and a commandment to avoid false teachers, false prophets and apostles; to judge, test and discern using the bible as the final authority and source book of genuine authentic truth regarding God and teachings about God. We have freedom in Christ, liberty to love and worship and follow Him as He leads according to His Word. Never be afraid to report what you know is wrong and expose those that do harm to others under the guise christianity or service to God. Remember it is our duty as a christian to reject that which is false not to submit or to follow men claiming to have God's authority when they do not.

May God bless you all.

-------------------------------------------------------
Jan 2009 In recent events Pastor David Vicary has left the fellowship after been forced to resign by the Beechboro council, this decision was forced upon them by Wayman Mitchell who accused Vicary of having character flaws, being anti-American, being a liar and also not following the fellowship pattern. You can find all the documents of this situation on the crackedpots website:

http://crackedpots.topcitie...

So if Wayman can have a man of such standing sacked at his will who is do you think might be next??
--------------------------------------------------------
July 2009
It was announced that Tom Payne will be arriving in Perth to take the pastorate of Beechboro and headship of the national Australian fellowship.

In a recent email to the Perth church council Wayman Mitchell claimed he had come to Perth at the request of the Perth church for the resignation of David Vicary. This is a complete lie as Wayman was the one who sought to force the resignation of David Vicary. Do not overlook details like that, these men like Wayman claim to be acting as God's representatives and exercising authority over people because of it.

------------------------------------------------
2010

For those interested Wayman Mitchell has been suing a former Potter's House church in Fiji since 2001. The court case has preceded since that time and the Potter's House has carried this law suit through by John Perry for all these years to reclaim the Lautoka church building and property worth a total of $160,000 A.U. So far the costs have added up to more than $300,000 U.S of Potter's House tithe money to pay for this law suit, including expenses for John Perry to be in Fiji as representative for the PH court attendance. It is costing the Lautoka congregation so far more than $20,000 U.S defending themselves. If you think I'm making this up think again, I have a copy of the stamped court documents for 2009 as evidence on pdf. If you are happy that your hard earned tithe money goes to such a worthy cause then keep the money rolling in....

I appreciate it brother.

sunskywindshane - I decided to make this youtube my finished product and pretty much leave it as my final thoughts. I pretty much have no activity on any forums anymore, I am a new person with better and more interesting goals on my plate. What I leave behind here is for those that I am quite certain will genuinely need it, hopefully at the right time. I have helped a lot of people over the years with their PH trauma and I'm sure they'll be more to follow, as unfortunate as that is. Darren

Just finished reading your final 7 parts.
There comes a time when its time to move on, I know.
Recently I finished my own 5 yr period of research into another figure somewhat like Mitchell.
As I've seen your name on Baptist message boards, you may come across this person/group in your travels: Thieme.
Anyway, its been good reading another former PH persons thoughts.

Good luck.

blind faith, thats what it is im just so violated its ridiculos!
darrenss1 (9 months ago)
PreachNChrist, when you leave don't let yourself be condemned just because of what some people in the fellowship claim. Though they may not understand you have done your own research and have your own unique reasons. The information about the PH has been around for years just now its become easier to access since other former members are making it available on the net. It is our right as christians, in fact the bible endorses christians to judge, test and reproof those that claim to represent God and the bible, those that are teachers, pastors and also those that claim to be Apostles and prophets, to hold them to strict biblical criteria as taught in 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1. Once found genuinely false they must be rejected upon the authority of the word of God. Darren

PreachNChrist, I've never taken your comments to heart, I know how easy it is to lose sight of true biblical christianity and to lose perspective and objectivity. I was a member for 5 years coming out was like the worse crisis in my life at that time but you'll recover and eventually be your own person again making your own judgments about God and the bible for yourself. Leaving the fellowship does not mean leaving God, your salvation is not dependent upon any church or man but rests upon a risen and living Christ. Darren

Help me, :( What the helll such violation of trust, control, such abuse!!! Its a cult what keeps us stuck for so long ! I apologize for my comments! And thank you for speaking the truth such a painful experience it hurts! Im sorry.

Hey Darren,
Just checked to see how you were going & boy do you attract the 'cream of the crop' on your comments page. LOL. Keep doin what your doin bro, someone has to. Everything you have put forward is only speaking the truth of the situation with PH - & with the fellowship, the only question is how deep you get involved as to how damaged OR damaging you become. People who get Saved there? Praise God - Then run to safer ground as fast as possible if you have the good sense to heed the warnings of multiple experiences!

There's a good reason why I disabled commenting on all my videos, any guesses why.
