Refer to the Secret Sect,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Search for the Truth: The Workers Words Exposed (Paperback)
I find it amazing that anyone is "coming out" with regards to this religion. In my family it is referred to as "The Testimony". The Testimony was started by a Scottish Coal Miner named William Irvine. I was raised in an offshoot of this called the "Message" William Irvine started after being excommunicated by the Testimony. It is great to see that people who have been involved in these sects have the strength to come out. I have read "The Secret Sect" (we were also told not to read this) and found it extremely enlightening. Although I haven't read this book it is definitely going into my shopping basket. I can be contacted at chattycathymarie@yahoo.com to anyone who wants anymore information.

Addition to First Review,
By Linda J. McCormack (Bledsoe, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Search for the Truth: The Workers Words Exposed (Paperback)
I would like very much to be in contact with the author. Perhaps he will read this review and contact me. I would also like to mention that since I was raised in "Walkerite" territory, that there were some differences from the "Carrollites" in the area where Fortt was raised. I think many did know of Grace, atonement, etc.etc. I also think most of them were very sincere. However, as years went by, I began to see more stress being put on the importance of the workers. I even read a letter where a worker refered to workers as "a homeless Jesus." Altho I don't think there is any larger percentage, maybe not as much even, in sexual misconduct, homosexuality, as in any other religion. The main problem for me was how brain washed the people became. If the workers told most of them to stand on their head and whistle "Dixie," they probably would. The spiritizing the author spoke of is also frightening as they had began to give scripture an entirely different thought that what it actually says. And, the concealment of the orgins of that way is really bad. God does not lie. And, they will to protect "that way." The author is correct about this group, altho some of them are truly sincere and being so misled.

Fortt has the goods on the Two-by-Two's "preachers.",
By A Customer
This review is from: A Search for the Truth: The Workers Words Exposed (Paperback)
It isn't easy finding out what the mysterious no-name church preaches and teaches. In fact, you have to find out from inside. They just won't tell you straight out. There are no authorized books or pamphlets, because they don't believe in publishing their beliefs-- casting their pearls before swine. You must hear the gospel through one of their "workers," as they term the unordained clergy who call the shots and go about in pairs seeking converts. Fortt is an escapee from this sect, which has such a low profile it is practically underground. Like hundreds of others who have spent part of their lives in this exclusivist, repressive cult, he is highly critical of its core teachings and practices. For former Two-by-Twos (as outsiders term them) and for those brave enough among the still "professing," this book can be an enlightening God-send.
