Is Paul Stringini A Fraud?
I once said, "I considered photographing my collection and posting a picture of it on this page; but I thought that would be a little ridiculous." I still think it is ridiculous, but I never anticipated that people would be questioning my story, call me naive.
I think this is because, according to some Chapel people, I should not exist. I can't exist, and there shouldn't be someone who once understood and believed Dr. Murray's doctrines ("the truth") and then decided that Dr. Murray's doctrines were very bad, and then wrote illuminatingly about it. We I do exist, and I'm certainly not the only one.
So this is the page where I take you on a trip down memory lane back to when I was young and foolish and an avid student of Dr. Murray, I still have very mixed feelings about this, these images bring back memories, I really liked Dr. Murray. I still like him on a personal, human level, but I strongly disagree with his doctrines, and I want people to know that I'm not being dishonest.
When I had studied with Dr. Murray intensively for about five months (four hours a day) I began to teach Shepherd's Chapel doctrines to other people, (as I continued to study with Dr. Murray). I counted myself reasonably adept at "documenting" the Kenites and the "World That Was" as well as other things I considered important such as the truth concerning the "Rapture," and other things. And I led bible studies in which these doctrines were promoted.
Below you see two pages of handwritten notes which I distributed to people circa 1994 in and around Harper Community College in order to spark interest in the doctrines which I felt people needed to be instructed in, and which I now reject. Click on the images to see full size versions of "The World That Was, God's Children, & Angels."
Read my repudiation and dissection of the above (my own) work. (There Will Be A Link Here)
How many Shepherd's Chapel students have been married in front of Dr. Murray's desk? Probably hundreds and hundreds, but I think most of us had something in common, it was because we loved him and we loved his teachings, I really didn't have another minister I was willing to let do the job.
And also, the rumors that my wife and I were divorced or separated are not true. We grow stronger together every day, and I love her very much. This is from our wedding day, Wednesday, April 5th, 1995. And as additional proof here is a clip of the video with pastor Murray saying my name. As far as I am concerned, this was the greatest thing Dr. Murray ever did for me, and I'm still thankful for it, but I cannot overlook his misdeeds.
