HAPPY NEW YEAR
AND
A BLESSED
2010
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you."
(Jeremiah 29 : 11 - 14)
2009 has come and gone but it has also made us strong,
The path was weary and long but we walked it with a song,
There were struggles and tears but we also had many reasons for cheers.
We know not what holds in this new year but with God, we need not move on with fear,
Put all your faith and trust in Him, and in victory, at the end , you will win.

Blessed New Year 2010 to all readers. CT administrator, great job! I like the new outlook of CT. Kindly continue to update us on the latest news with regards to CC and the court case.
The BOD and pastors of CC have not been honest and transparent when announcing the court case against them. They did not tell us the truth that all the TTG members wanted were for a new EGM to be convened to decide on the 7 resolutions that were rejected during the last AGM. Nothing personal and not for monetary gain.They deliberately projected the TTG members as the "bad & evil" people who are suing the church.
Shame on you PG, PG2, APs & BOD of CC!
2010 is a new beginning. It is time for reconciliation so that the work of God can continue. It is time for Senior Pastor and TTG to resolve all differences in a calm and humble manner.
CT, good job :)
Your new background speaks volumes. I don't know if you choose this background for this.
As I see it, the dawn is the light of day coming to dispel the darkness. We have been in the night and now dawn has come. Soon it will be bright daylight and darkness will disappear. Darkness cannot keep light away.
As I see it, there are 3 birds flying about.
This is symbolic of the presence of the Trinity God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Praise God for this fresh new look that gives us a fresh new hope for this new year in 2010. Let's press on for God.
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty !
Worthy Worthy Worthy is the Lord God Almighty!!
Glory Glory Glory To the Lord God Almighty!!!

I'm a Calvarites, but no longer attending calvary since last year after I notice something went wrong. Instead of seeing CC going nowhere with never ending disputes, I would like to participate in TTG and contribute whatever I had to bring salvation to CC. May God bless CC and there will be an answer asap. I has not much knowledge nor ability in firming TTG point of view, but I belief in God's name there is definitely a way for me to contribute so that one day we can step back into the Sanctuary and rebuild the damages which were seriously done. I has been wondering, why on earth was SP keep preaching on offerings and priority on Kingdom of Heaven? I remember Jesus didn't taught us about priority of His Kingdom only, how about the rest? Besides, priority of Kingdom of Heaven does not equal to CCC. While I was (still I am)attending other Church intentionally, I was so sad witnessing massive exodus from CC. It was like seeing the evil tearing down CC. Well, my intention here is clear, I want to know what is your email, and I will email you personally.
You just don't get it, do you? It's Prince Guneratnam, the leader of the pack, who is refusing to reconcile by not repenting! Only God can deal with him; and He is already, using TTG. God will forgive him, and so must we. (Holy Spirit, help me!) But there are consequences: think King David for OT parallel or Haggart for a modern one.

I met an old church member who left for another church many years recently. He said something to me that really made me think about our CC saga.
He told me, why should the members leave the church. The pastor should leave, not the ten, hundreds and thousand of church members leave.
So I think he has a point. The pastor is only 1 voice amidst the hundreds and thousands who are not happy with him. Those who remain and still welcome him as pastor are very few and others are very new in church who have not contributed much to the building of cc anyway.
Please remember fellow members. Many of us were in CC way before PG and his family, so why should we leave. As 1 person has said earlier, he was 1 of those who raised his hand to invite PG to pastor CC in the earlier years, why should he allow his guest to take over the church where he had worked to raise money to build kick him out now. PG was still not around when CC Damansara Heights was built. He is not pioneer of CC. We the members of CC are the pioneers who raised the money, not PG.
We the church members should not leave. It is the pastors who should leave.
Heard that PG has finally appointed two elders for the church. Any guesses who they are?
No prize given though.
'Members should not leave CC', I agree with your point of view. It doesn't get rid of the root of the matter even if we leave CC thinking it could at least slash off the supporters. But no, there are more and more people joining CC for the sake of CCC, or simply the old school calvarites were seriously blinded by PG's trick. I am a new believer who chose CC to attend at the beginning of my Christian life, which eventually attended other church since last year(Thanks God I did not lost faith). Even a new Christian can see and evaluate what was happening inside. My first question arose after I joint CC some time:"How come it is more like a family Church(or family business) instead of diversified by different level of people who should coming from different of background?" Damage was done, what we can do now is to gather whatever church voices and resources we had now to affirm our point of view. Many people like me dare not unveil our identity, but these people are exactly what we need to make sure something is to be done.I belief in God name, calvarites(ed) whom were outcast or simply switched their church can be gather and reform a stronger body to say what we wanted to say. After all, CC doesn't belongs to PG, am I right? It is important to do so before they felt comfortable in their new church. I belief some of CT readers experienced the same thing as I did, I ask few of my friends:'What think you about the current situation? Any suggestion?', they replied:'Well, I don't care anymore, I don't gossip about it', asking what they will do, they will reply either leave silently, or kept silent in Church. There are loads of neutral calvarites, that's why I see CC going no where but no where. A family Church? or a family business? Thanks God for TTG.
"BELIEVE IT OR NOT!"
--exclaimed the many who heard the announcement of Elders in disbelief. And who can blame them.
At last (or Alas!) "Elders" have been appointed in CC's in PG's tenure. BUT, it is clear why:
PG's most trusted Member in the previous BOD--Patrick Wong, who had failed to secure the votes to get into the New Board. i.e. REJECTED by the Voting Members at the AGM, now got in by the "back door"!
Patrick Wong was the one who said there was nothing wrong for PG to be CEO, SR & at the same time run CIM as its President. Positions he saw as "inter-changeable" including MONEY from CC to CIM--is" just like Paul to Peter, and perfectly legitimate" according to him.
What a Joke this is--Patrick Wong an Elder???
What shame, that he has the cheek to accept it!
( But to pG, he is very useful indeed, as PG's wish is his command. Besides, he knows PG's desires even before he opens his mouth. And best of all he is sworn to secrecy)
This appointment by PG, of course, is yet another 'master stroke' of the SLY ONE.
Still very much in his element--BEWARE.
when u cant qualify as a deacon he will make u an elder cos u r a yes man. good for u patrick wong . paul yem you dont qualify. no chance even be a deacon again.
philip tan can . come back from singapore less then a year already qualify
different rules apply
As expected, so PG and his loyal supporters will continue to further entrenched their positions within CC. Is it true that it is now easy to become new members of CC as PG need them to give more cash offerings, tithes, faith offerings, love offering, etc etc? Strategically,PG need more new VOTEs to off balance the TTG equation? I can only say Let's Fast and Pray for Wisdom, Revelation, Peace and Tranquility to prevail ! Be prepared for a long haul after 12-1-2010 as PG's lawyer will apply to strike out the Civil Summons calling for an EGM !Frankly speaking I have lost faith with Human Criminal and Civil Laws. Let's call upon the Lord of Hosts in his Ways to remove all the BLESSINGS from PG and his supporters according to the Deuteronomy 8! Please always forgive them for their negative creative trangressions, and this attitude must be adhered to & followed closely at all times! The Lord Gives and He can Take it away anytime He so Chooses !
ACCOUNTABILITY is NOT an OPTION in Leadership.
For too long.. in fact, the decades of their entire tenure, PG & BOD have never held themselves Accountable of any their actions and decisions to the MEMBERS in CC.
They ride rough-shot over the Congregation and run CC as if it is PG's Corporation Inc.
It's not for no purpose nor reason of God that they are now exposed of all their hidden deeds.
Our God believes in Accountability. Who then should think or believe PG & Co can escape it?

" Your pastor, PG's Love for Money Scares me", said my sister who attended CC service a few times--with the hope to be a regular worshipper, but instead ran as fast and as far as could!!!
What can I say in defense? wish I could. But my sis went on "... I have never heard in any church I attended, having so many kinds of offering collection, plus Pledges for money this & that...
$$$ ringing in my ears, a complete TURN-OFF"
HELP.
MONEY ADDICTION
Guess what, each time when the "PG love for money" issue crops up and gets too hot, you can quite easily notice PG & Co will not touch on it ( very very consciously with real effort ) in their Sunday message --for a couple of weeks perhaps, just so it cool-off. Very shrew PR, very Politician.
AHHA, then it comes on back again, and each time
almost like a Re-launch with even greater Ommp!
--the latest being the renewed 2nd Offering for CCC.
Best analogy, it is like an addict who comes out of cold turkey treatment and take the next dose with relish:((
FACE IT: PG is motivated by Money
Found this recently...and Calvarites will do well to check out this website:

Yes when I was attending 'My Faith Class(MFC)', I missed 1 class intentionally. I have seen the ugly part and thought I can walk away just before I retake the class I missed. Who knows the sister(who handle membership, u know la..) calls me up to sign up as a member. I haven't even finish my class, and never intend to. Now i know, it's because CC running short of members or supporters, and they let me in without even complete 'MFC'..Genius.

And also upgrade to 'voting member' when they deemed you a loyal supporter. We have just been upgraded to voting member even without meeting the prerequisites. I expected a church will behave differently. At last, CC under the current leadership is no different from any political organisation.
When I was applying for CC membership in the early 90's, I was asked to get a letter of transfer from my previous church (as I was told that I cannot have dual church membership).
As I was busy with work, I had delayed getting my letter of transfer. Finally, I was placed in the Associate Membership category in mid 90's (as CC was then actively placing people into that category as they deem those who were to busy to attend Wed & Fri nights as people who do not know CC even though you may be attending LG &/or assisting in the various CC programmes).
Lately I heard that someone who was working outstation wanted to cancel his CC membership as he was attending a church there & he wanted to apply for membership at the outstation church. When he contacted Foong Ling, he was told that he doesn't need to cancel his CC membership & that he can have dual church membership.
Why is CC now accepting dual church membership when it was previously against it?
Is CC so desperate to boost up their membership numbers?
Also now people who don't qualify as Voting Members are placed in that category if they are deemed as pro-PG.
The Bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today & tomorrow (i.e. He is consistent) but we cannot say the same for CC & PG, for their actions are designed to suit themselves (what the majority race would call - Suka Suka).
i cant care much,i just want to serve God, n i hav right to choose where i put my offering n tithes to. I'll just shut up n do what God said it's right. But i'll monitor CT for further update and be there if TTG needs any back up.

SAD CASE:
CC's Congregation attendance dwindling across..
from Main Service including Chinese Language section to 5pm Service.
Apparently, it got so bad, they have devised a brilliant idea to incorporate the youth (CA) to the evening service soon. I suppose, it's to make the sanctuary look less empty.
Any thought for the young -- 13 yr to stay so late?
Think they are being used just to make up the numbers to look good.
As parents, we hope PG & youth pastor will abort
this plan for the wrong reason.

Yupe. Serve God not man. Diverting finances to other worthy causes and keeping the votes to uphold TTG.

UNDER HAND TACTICS
That's what I'll just call it--this tampering of Membership Rules.
As I understand it, CT had said the TTG are going to the Court to get a fair hearing, i.e. on the tabling of Resolutions by Concerned Members.
Looks like PG & CO are 'PREEMPTING' the outcome
to get as many voting members ready.
Their scheming knows no end. Sigh.
This is an interesting article -

PRINCE OF DARKNESS'S DIRTY TRICKS
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, open up your eyes and ears. See and hear what's happening right in front of you !
SP is up to his dirty tricks again, trying to hookwink us with the sudden and unprecedented appointment of two (2) Church Elders. Have you ever stop to think and wonder why SP specially chose ex-Deacon Patrick Wong ? The same Patrick Wong whose name appeared in the nomination list, but was not voted in last year, being unpopular among the CC voting members. So SP exercised his Big Brother power and specifically chose his loyal and faithful servant Patrick Wong.
Don't be misled by the artificial (fake/false) atmosphere of transparency at the swearing in ceremony of these two Elders. Especially take real special note of SP's own words, these two Elders have NO EXECUTIVE POWERS. Meaning these two are just puppets, rubber stamps for SP's dictatorial rule. He and his family has been ruling CC like a monarchy, as befitting his ROYAL title of PRINCE G !!!
Calvarites, do not be deceived by SP, this hypocrite is a Prince of Darkness who has wrecked havoc in our beloved CC.
Pray that God save us from this spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness. God's anointing has surely left SP, which explains the reasons why the various projects CCC, Calvaryland, CCC Carnival, etc are experiencing difficulties. Deafening silence surrounds these failed projects, with only one liner "explainations" from SP to satisfy our questions. Do not be gullible to swallow the lies and deceits he spews from the pulpit. Remember what he said ? He said that CC was experiencing some minor issues with CCC, but never mind, instead of working on the CCC building, God is working on CC, the people ie congregation - like you and I ! What blasphamy ! What sinful words SP dares to put in God's mouth ! The implications of his message to the CC congregation is that God suddenly stops in his tracks, says "Opps, sorry, mistake here ... and as an afterthought decides to concentrate on building up the spirituality of HIS people !
Are we the CC congregation supposed to swallow such nonsense which cannot be from God ! And definitely not an annointed message !
Beware, SP, on Judgement Day, you have to answer to GOD Himself the lies you tell us. Stop and repent before too late.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
Take a good look around you next time you attend CC service. Those good old days, attendance is so good the almost all seats in the pews are taken up early. If you are a bit late, you have to seat right at the back. Nowadays, even if you come late you can pick and choose seats upfront, even first row where SP can shcok you from your morning nap by suddenly walking right up to you from the pulpit. Look around, you will see ever increasing empty seats. This phenomenon will keep on growing, signifying the mass migration of Calvarites to greener pastures in the form of other churches, or worse backslidden cases.
Take a good look at the attendance among the children. The numbers have decreased tremendously for Rangers and Missionnettes. Why ?, you may ask yourselves. yet deep inside you already know the truth, the answer to what's happening to CC.
Look around you. What happened to your Christian fellowship friends ? You tried assuring yourselves that they perhaps have gone to other satellite churches. Or have they migrated elsewhere ?
We the lambs (and sheep) are blindly following a false prophet
who pretends to be the earthly shepherd, leading us to the slaughter of our spirituality and spiritual lives. do you not hear the cries among families who are split into two camps - for and against SP and family. Parents against, children, brothers against sisters, brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters... and so on.
Let us all pray for healing and cleansing of CC first.
Note: CCC being designed by a freemason is an abomination in God's eyes. He therefore would not bless the CCC project, letting it fall into ruins, like the total destruction of the Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem by the conquering Romans, until and unless we repent and help go back to the correct path.
Let's turn our eyes and ears to God, not the satanic priest !
Joe Black still believe the end is near.only God has no end or beginning.all that God allow to start will eventually come to an end. when does it end ?. it will end when God purpose is achieve and His name glorify.
To all TTG lets carry on the responsibility entrusted to us . We are just donkey for God purpose.
traiblazing the truth is always taken by the minority.
Let God speak to you personally to carry on your responsibility. i personally believe because you know it is wrong that is why you are given the responsibility.let be responsibility to what we are call to do. if you are not sure check back to HIM who sent you on the mission to bear TTG . if you are not born again dont try to bring someone be born again.
To me i often take that the pit stop.
God bless
