Our Church, Our Movies, and Your Cure

[Guest guest]

You should read this entire e-mail very carefully, because YOU ARE AT RISK.

As one of our new colleagues put it when he said he was doing well -- " I

still have some apprehension about this. " I told him that's a very sane

thing to feel. You're supposed to feel apprehensive, and fear isn't a bad

thing, as long as you don't let it control your actions. You may be

fighting a medically incurable and possibly lethal disease. It's

appropriate to be apprehensive, scared. Those kinds of feelings keep you

on your toes. We even have even a lesson called " Pay Attention to That Bad

Feeling. "

If you're making a movie with us, or in any other way participating in the

services of our church, you may be using this religion as a substitute for

medical treatment. Notice -- this is not a disclaimer. Churches don't

need disclaimers. The Church of Christ, Scientist, forbids its members to

use medical treatment -- overtly forbids them to accept the doctor's

medication. We're not that rigid. If you want, go ahead and use medical

treatment while you're doing this. Will it interfere? Maybe. But our

entire religious practice is based on you personally interacting with God

by asking God questions and seeing -- testing -- whether or not you get a

signal. If God says it won't interfere, we're all for it.

One of the main points here is that for many people who join this church,

medical treatment is either no longer an option, or never was. And anyway,

we think everybody should be doing this spiritual practice whether they

have any medically diagnosed diseases or not, because by relating to God in

this way you're becoming a new and better human being. Most people pray by

talking at God. We pray by God giving us signals. Our God connection is

simply a lot stronger than most people's.

One other thing about our church service -- it never stops. You are doing

our church service every time you test something -- every time you do the

kind of prayer that we showed you.

Now a big part of your participation is public. We have learned, through

long and bitter experience, that people who participate publicly, people

who show what they're doing -- their spiritual practice -- to everyone

they know, and everyone they can reach who they don't know, tend to be far

more certain of their results -- their positive results, their negative

medical tests. We do hope you will get yourself tested by a doctor, even

if you don't use doctor treatments, because we all like hearing those

negative medical results. People who are expressive -- publicly expressive

-- of their participation in this religious practice simply tend to go

farther, faster. There are a million reasons why this is, and when you do

this publicly you will immediately begin to see what they are.

One of the biggest reasons is that you sometimes get attacked for doing

this. And that enables you to stand up for it and become stronger. We

expect this of you -- we don't want to work with anybody, put our time into

anybody, who won't stand up and become stronger. You're going to get

attacked anyway, whether you're public or not. But when you're public and

you get attacked, you have the support of the rest of us. If you're not

public, you don't. We've tried to support people who weren't public, but

because they weren't public it was just very hard to see them, so we

couldn't effectively support them.

Plus, while we were trying to help them, we weren't helping anybody else.

Whereas, when you stay completely public, and we help you publicly, WE'RE

SIMULTANEOUSLY HELPING EVERYBODY ELSE WHO'S WATCHING. I'm sure you can see

that that is a far better use of our energy, which is why we only choose to

use our energies that way.

A word about failure. Failure is inevitable. And it comes after success,

which is very demoralizing. When you fail, you need the help of a great

many other people who have also failed, and then succeeded, and then gone

further. We have had many people tell us they'd be happy to be public

about curing whatever it is they've got after their negative medical

tests. We can't won't work with people like that. You need to be public

at the beginning. That's when you need people to see you -- because then

they can care, and come up with solutions for you.

Years ago I did seminars, and I used to tell the participants, " If people

can't see you, they can't love you, because they have to see you to love

you. " If your loved ones stop loving you if they see you or learn

something about you . . . well, they never loved you in the first place --

you just weren't facing that. And not facing things makes you sick, and

makes you stay sick.

Several Europeans have told us that no one in Europe is allowed to use the

word " cure " with regard to the activities that we are doing -- that it's

illegal there. They're just unfamiliar with the laws of their countries --

and scared. It is legal for God to cure your herpes or your cancer in

France or England, or in China for that matter, just as it is in the good

old U.S.A. -- though God knows what they'll do to you in China. But if

they do throw you in a dungeon, you'll still be able to get signals

there. God is everywhere. And that's what really matters.

When we talk about standing up, we really mean standing up. We want you to

be great, and we want to work with great people.

Now, I probably sent you this detailed explanation because you've joined

the CureTeam. And maybe we're going to make a movie together, a movie

where you show how you cure your disease, and do it on camera. And if we

do make a movie together, I'm going to expect you to send that movie to all

your Facebook friends and post it on Twitter and any and every other place

where you have access to people. This is you standing up for

yourself. That's also what CureTeam membership is about. And we also

expect you to share the movies that other people make with your Facebook

friends, and watch them, or some of them, and say things about them. We

also expect you to know what the other CureTeam members are doing, and to

talk to them on Facebook in front of everybody -- NOT PRIVATE MESSAGES. We

want to see you helping each other in a way that everybody can see you

doing, right out there in the sun.

OK?

If it is okay -- and we hope you're excited about it, too, as excited about

it as we are -- then reply with YES to this e-mail. That means you know

that this is a church and that you're part of the congregation, as well as

one of the ministers, possibly -- you'll have to test about that -- and

that when you're called on to stand up, you will.

Your friend,
