"To be clear, we didn't bury the report in a hole in the ground using a spade, so I think we are not lying. Likewise I've reached my arm in all directions, therefore towards Charlotte. Got that lord? Amen"

I'd like to request a correction on Arise's initial email, which said Webworm has repeated an inaccuracy "at least twice", when it had repeated zero inaccuracies a potentially infinite number of times. Can Arise confirm when it will make these corrections please?

Allow an individual to create church of personality around themselves, let them control the governance completely, and build the entire entertainment/salvation brand around their own personalities, worship, enable, and defend their actions, but all of a sudden when it suits refer to them as individuals not part of the Church and continue to claim no fault of your own.

Imagine showing up at heaven’s gate after you die and you’re like “well, uh, my name should be there. Anything marked down from Arise Church? Hmm, maybe they forgot to follow-up”

Oh FFS what?!?! I just don’t get it but does anyone? Arise need to just own up already and make things better or just go away altogether....

JFC, David. This is “slam-your-head-on-the-floor-repeatedly” bad. Their responses are an insult to AI. At least with AI, there’s intelligence.

Why communicate clearly when you’ve got the word of God on your side? Bow down before His greatness, David.

Okay, but like, if church members attempted to bury the report doesn’t that technically mean that the church attempted to bury it? Biblically (lol like they care) a “church” isn’t an organization or board or leadership team. It’s the group of people who congregate in fellowship to worship. All of them. As a spiritual family or whatever.

There’s a lot of “sorrys” and “apologies” but not a lot of remorse. In my mind’s voice I’m reading them like this... “ohhhh SORRRRRY DAVE”. (I too have a first name that infuriatingly gets shortened sometimes).

I can almost see the sarcasm leaking from their words.

Chunder.

Ben is the worst, every interaction I’ve had with him on Instagram he comes across as a smirking twat.

The fact that they refuse to use proper grammar in a professional email REALLY irks me. It is the least of the sins committed here but it is sticking in my craw

They actually don’t appear to be very bright

Also loving the irony. When it suits them to say so, it is not ‘the church’ being represented, but individuals associated with the church, on the other hand he’s quite happy to hide behind ‘the church’ and respond anonymously to an email.

“But I wanted to post it on the Webworm site for prosperity.”

You’ve been spending so much time reporting on them that you’ve started repeating that ‘Prosperity Gospel’ bullshit 😁

I think the word you were going for is ‘posterity’ 😜
