freedom to share your own opponion

 Soon after that when my blog was launching into spaces of web, I heard some criticism in style  like "I don`t have right not say my own oponion concerning YWAM because God had not given that right to me" from one "christian" leader, who seems to be fan of YWAM Tallinn and still believing that YWAM all over the world is doing great work. Yes  I agree that there can be some of them, who are doing good job  but  it do not mean that there is no another cultic side of YWAM - that there IS also some very bad things going one in midst of different bases of this organization around the world. 

But lets go back to the subject of this post- "freedom to share your own oponion."

When I had this freaking discussion with that leader over my rights to share my oponion publicly and she states very strongly that I have not that right from the Lord to say anything about YWAM because God had not given that to me, Lord reminded to me that His Word is not cancelled the basic laws and human rights, what He Himself had stated.

Like He had said in Jeremiah 29:7 that we suppose pursue the wellbeing of that place where we are living. And how we are doing that then? By keeping and following the general basic rules what gives us also freedom of expression.

So for example Human rights article 19th states freedom of expression so:  Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Also 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America states the Freedom of Speech, Freedom OF RELIGION.

And then when we look again into Bible- then there is at least one passage which says that we have right to say and to do everything enough all is not useful. In 1 Corinthians 10:23 says so.

So yes when you have come out from YWAM and your experience with that organization was not so good then I want to encourage you - don`t be SILENT about that what you had come thru, except what others around you or even your feelings might say to you.

 One way not to be silent about your bad experience of YWAM is to write it down as diary honestly as it was and how people behaved with you and so on. Why? because it helps you!  Things what is not talked become bigger than they really are and because of that psychologically it is good to talk about that. As John 8:31 states that:if you know the truth then truth sets you free.

 Firstly with your diary and then maybe people whom experience with YWAM had not been also good.  Also reading about spiritual abuse and finding a support group might help you.

And one word to you who you are thinking about attending in YWAM DTS course. Please make good background research and pray and pray hard to find it out if it is for you. Don`t let it be like if it is God´s will then they receive me and if it is not then it is so. But pray it thru and get certain answer from the Lord concerning that.
