      FC201: The Maturity Class
      Prerequisite: FC101
      FC201 is Step 2 in First Colony's Spiritual Life track. During our 5 weeks together, we will focus on the four basic habits every Christian needs to grow to spiritual maturity: time in God's word, prayer, tithing and fellowship. Class takes place at the building on Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m.


      Doesn't this sound like indoctrination? I can tell you flat out that any person who claims to be a Christian and teaches TITHING is lying and trying to cheat those they are supposed to MINISTER TO.

      The TITHE was like Income Tax. A tithe is 1/10 of the INCREASE or PROFIT which was RENT paid only by those who had received (from the tribe) a FREE farm, flock or orchard: this would probably include a house. IF you were LOANED one of those farms then YOU paid a tithe on your INCREASE. Furthermore, you paid it only YEARLY. Amos condemnes Israel for their often tithings (stealing from the poor to serve the rich)

      Furthermore, you paid to the TRIBE of Levi 1/10 of your INCREASE only 3 out of a 7 year cycle.

      This was FOOD ONLY to provide the FOOD ONLY to the tribe of Levi who took care of many civil services including warfare.

      The Tribe gave the priests only 1/10 of this FOOD ONLY to be consumed when on a rotating basis as the TEMPLE ONLY because they could not leave the premises.

      3 other tithes were shared with the poor but not paid to the tribe of Levi. There was NO tithe on the 7th year because there was no PROFIT that year.

      That means that to supply FOOD ONLY to the priests and animals for sacrifice you paid 1/10 of the 3/7ths of the INCREASE of the food only to the work of SACRIFICING for the NATIONAL government.

      If you were a shoe maker then you bought the leather and YOU suppled the labor and you kept ALL of the profit and never tithed from WAGES.

      No Jew paid the tithe OUTSIDE of Canaan and modern Jews involved in FOOD PRODUCTION may or not give or burn 1% of their food only because there is NO LEVITICAL PRIESTHOODS living AT the temple where they need food when ON DUTY ONLY.

      There is NO LAW of giving for Christians because "Jesus paid it all." There is NO Law of Giving for the Church of Christ. When you LAY BY HIM you LAY BY HIM or by yourself so that YOU have to give ALMS ONLY to those who ask. There is no LAW because Paul said that it was NOT a command.

      Therefore, YOU have been taken captive and are Slaves of the WatchTower.

      No church in history every passed the plate:

      NIV: On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 1 Corinthians 16:2NIV

      NAS: On the first day of every week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. 1 Corinthians 16:2NAS

      NKJV: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 1 Corinthians16:2

      NEV: Every Sunday each of you is to put aside and keep by him a sum in proportion to his gains, so that there may be no collecting when I come. (New English Bible New Testament).

      Neander: But Paul, if we examine his language closely, says no more than this: that every one should lay by in his own house on the first day of the week, whatever he was able to save.

      This certainly might mean, that every one should bring with him the sum he had saved to the meeting of the church, that thus the individual contributions might be collected together, and be ready for Paul as soon as he came.

      But this would be making a gratuitous supposition, not at all required by the connexion of the passage.

      We may fairly understand the whole passage to mean, that every one on the first day of the week should lay aside what he could spare, so that when Paul came, every one might be prepared with the total of the sum laid by, and then by pulling the sums together, the collection of the whole church would be at once made." Dr. Augustus Neander, in his "History of the Training and Planting of the Christian Church,"


      Jesus commanded ALMS from out hand to the hand of the poor: Alms are not obligations:

      Didache 1:5 Give to every one that asketh of thee, and ask not again;
      for the Father wishes that from his own gifts there should be given to all.
      Blessed is he who giveth according to the commandment, for he is free from guilt;
      but woe unto him that receiveth.
      For if a man receive being in need, he shall be free from guilt;

      but he who receiveth when not in need, shall pay a penalty as to why he received and for what purpose; and when he is in tribulation he shall be examined concerning the things that he has done, and shall not depart thence until he has paid the last farthing.

      Didache 1:6 For of a truth it has been said on these matters, let thy almsgiving abide in thy hands until thou knowest to whom thou hast given.


      Part of the WELLFARE MENTALITY is that if you out of a free heart give and give and give and support the elders without grumbling and growling the time WILL come when they understand your liberality as WEAKNESS and jump on you like wolves and fleece you, eat your flesh and craunch your bones." Your "joint tenure" then becomes a FULL BLOWN CULT and you may have been so flattered that you are unable to resist.

      The fact still remains: when Paul warned about the elders becoming WOLVES he was pointing directly to some unseen influence which is not pretty but shameful.

    ...........................THE BOOK

    What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


    There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

    This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

    Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
    Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

    Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

    It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

    At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

    They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

    The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

    At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

    Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

    The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

    The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

    This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

    To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

    This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

    Here is the list of players;

    5 Godly Elders
    10 Not so Godly Elders
    120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
    2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
    2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
    Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
    Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
