Good morning my favorite bubble!

I had a dream where humanity started new religion worshiping love, creative powers, and differences between humans... But then the damn church bells woke me up! We have to do something about it.

At least photos by @the_bogolepov keep coming and maybe we'll start calling it

What do you think? if you wish to believe in nudes :xd_tongue:

I'm quite excited and proud to see this article, "Following the Gaian Way," published in the Harvard Divinity Bulletin. No, I didn't write it, didn't even contribute to it, but I support and participate in this new religious movement. My thirst for academic legitimacy is slaked for a day!

It remains to be seen whether or not Hildebrandt’s strategy will pay off with an enlarged Church. If it does, one can be sure that the influx of right-wing , new age , and homeopathic will make it a strange congregation for the stranger times ahead of us all.

...

“They have been prophesizing for years that in the end time, there’s going to be an influx of people coming into the church by the thousands or by the millions,” said former Indiana Church of God member Adam Pamer.

To make that happen, they’ve opened the door so wide now they’re attracting a collection of militant anti-government protesters, he says."

The Church of God rejects “man-rule” and considers the Bible to be the only source of Law. Hildebrandt focuses so much attention on the Constitution's Charter of Rights because he believes that its Fundamental Freedoms clause means that the Church is exempt from the laws of Canada.

Former member Pauletta Willis, whose brother Ray Tinsman has since become “Chief Apostle” of the Church, “recalls a childhood where she would be whipped with a belt until her skin would split and her flesh would welt. Her friend, she says, was once beaten with a two-by-four.”

Many Mexican Mennonites had followed Henry north:

theglobeandmail.com/news/natio

"His sole comfort comes from the Church of God. Its 200-strong congregation is made up largely of former Mennonites who speak Low German and have immigrated to Canada from Mexico over the past 10 years."

-Globe and Mail

And so this community of Mennonites came north with the Hildebrandt family to prepare for the end of the world.

"The Hildebrandts remained residents of Hamilton and attended Elke’s church until at least 1989 when they left the church and moved to Aylmer.

In Aylmer, Hildebrandt met Daniel Layne, a minister from the U.S. Layne says he ordained Hildebrandt as a minister in Layne’s Church of God. The two formed the Aylmer congregation of the church which has branches in , , and . World-wide membership is between 1,000 and 3,000."

"Rev. Harvey Elke, a minister of the German Church of God, says Hildebrandt was born into a German-speaking Mennonite community in Mexico and came to Canada in the mid 1980s. Hildebrandt was a member of his congregation in Mexico, says Elke. “I knew him well and helped him to organize the necessary papers to bring him and his family to Canada.” Elke returned to Canada in 1983 to work as minister in the German Church of God in Hamilton, a position he held until 1989."

And so Layne’s Church of God (Restoration) teaches that we are currently living in the final period of the End Times, and that the only path to salvation is through Daniel Layne.

This is the man that Henry Hildebrandt and his brothers became involved with in 1990. They have their own unusual path to the prophetic life. On July 17, 2001 the Toronto Star reported on Hildebrandt’s biography.

The Church of God describes Layne as a Prophet, a successor of Enoch:

"God has always had leading figures of faith who were more prominent in fulfilling His purposes, whether it be a Paul, Menno Simon, or John Wesley. We view these chosen vessels at their allotted times in the gospel day. Permit us now to bring to view another of heaven’s selected vessels—Bro. Daniel W. Layne."

"Daniel Layne then joined Church of God in California, but in 1989 left, due to the churches “liberal” teachings. He then started his own church in Aylmer, Ontario Canada. Layne met Peter, Henry and David Hildebrandt, Mexican Mennonites also once associated with the Church of God movement and like Layne they too believed it had become too “liberal.”"
