Latter Rain/Sonship
"Web of Deception" (pdf format) - by Donna Shuck
Gwen Shaw and her "Endtimes Handmaidens" are an extreme latter-rain/sonship style group (in fact, a cult) with metaphysical overtones. They exert a strong controlling influence over their membership that is difficult to escape. They are a mystical group promoting angelic encounters and physical manifestations etc. This testimony from a former member shows, with copious direct quotes, the depth of error into which Gwen Shaw has fallen.
"Out of the Pan & Into the Fire"This is a chilling testimony of one person's lengthy membership of "The Walk", a pseudo-christian cult started and led by John Robert Stevens. However, having escaped the frying pan of this cult, the writer found that he'd jumped back into the fire when he started discovering the very same heresies at large in all the churches!

Kansas City Prophets
Vintage Metro - My Eight Years with the Kansas City Prophets
"The elite media is like the Mafia. The biggest sin you can commit with the Mafia is to break the code of silence." Former CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg made this statement on The 700 Club on December 20, 2001. He was being interviewed about the publication of his book Bias, an expose of liberal bias in the mainstream media. And as I find so often in so many things nowadays, I see a direct parallel between things in our culture and things in the Church. The history of Kansas City Fellowship for example, is strewn with offences so egregious as to be scary. But the one unpardonable sin to commit is to "break the code of silence". [This] is a story that needed to be told. I know it will invariably be greeted by many as a treasonous act, as the one unpardonable sin that cannot be forgiven or committed without dire consequences. But I'm asking you to grant me a little space for passion. For the Church world of our day is a veritable side show of charlatans, heretics, hucksters, religious politicians, "celebrities," and just plain untaught leaders who have led the people of God down a primrose path of ignorance, vanity and abuse.
