This book is the result of ten years of study, research and first hand experience with the Episcopal Church. My research of the Rise and Fall of the Episcopal Church, lead me in many directions, many I found horrific and others amazing in that the retaliation and corruption within the church is so massive. There is no hope at all for this church's survival, and thankfully so.When I began putting my thoughts about the Episcopalian religion on paper, and being an Episcopalian myself at the time; I realized that I had become part of a dying fad, a cult of sorts. I'd become a part of an organization where if you didn't agree with everything the vestry (the management) said, well you might as well pack up and leave. Why? We will see if you don't agree after realizing everything forced at you in the Episcopal Church is simply a matter of control and manipulation (it was thus in our experience). And mind you, if you're not one of the chosen of the vestry, or not of use financially, you will soon be shown the door.I believe the words used in regard to my family were "you're just not a good fit". My experience in the Episcopal church didn't end well at all. Sadly Episcopalians don't know how lost they all are. How confounded, and misguided, a lot of drunkards hoping humanity will not find out they are frauds and nail the doors to the church closed.There is a saying in the Episcopal Church, whenever four of them gather, there is always a fifth, and sadly it's true. On various occasions the cooking group would get together to cook for the poor. Within minutes of entering the church kitchen, the booze would come out of the ladies' purses, tipped into whatever form of drinking device available and the party would begin. More often than not, the entire group left the church so drunk that many would meet at the nearest members home and sleep off the afternoon.A friend who left this episcopal church before we did was Ms. Lee. She often said "this church will crash down just before the doors are nailed closed".The end of my experience with this Episcopal church came when they did just that, nailed the doors closed. Well actually the Vestry of the church (the leadership) had overplayed their hand when building the church leaving it with three balloon notes ($30,000 each) all due within a very short period of time along with massive debts hidden from the congregation by the same vestry.Think about it for a moment, how would you react if for four long years the Vestry told you at your yearly meeting that all was well, and the treasurers report was glowing, things were just great. Only to find out it was all a lie. The facade began to fade, the money stopped coming in, attendance was down because the main priest who was the "center" of the new church, suddenly left.
