REPRESENTING THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF 2X2 HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS ON THE INTERNET
What does TTT do?
- makes historical details easily accessible
- provides facts and information
- provides information about the ex-member support group and e-mail discussion lists
What are the purposes of TTT?
To inform and educate. To publish the plain, unvarnished truth and oppose deception. TTT believes everyone who has ever been connected with this church has a right to know the historical facts concerning their founder and origin. TTT is dedicated to making the historical information easily accessible and readily available and stated in a manner that an adolescent would be able to understand it. It is the goal of TTT that the history of the group will soon become common knowledge to its followers. TTT encourages individual examination and evaluation. TTT is not a church, denomination or religion. TTT is operated by a former member.
Why does TTT do this?
TTT takes seriously the command, "as ye would that men should do
to you, do ye also to them likewise." (Luke 6:31). We wish we had known
the facts that TTT publicizes. TTT is devoted to TRUTH. TTT is an answer to those who are seeking to learn the truth about this group.
I am doing the same thing Luke did when he wrote his Gospel of Luke: "Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled (Footnote: or been surely believed) among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." Luke 1:1-4 (NIV)
The church started by Wm Irvine included many of the same principles as other restoration movemenets that became churches in the 19th century. Wm Irvine's ideas were not original. Many others began to move back to the basics of Christianity and their efforts evolved into churches. These churches differed in what principles they chose to emphasize from the New Testament. Like the 2x2 fellowship, several other religious movements also hold the belief that no one on earth for eighteen centuries has understood the Bible until their particular self-proclaimed leader was "raised up to restore" the correct or true interpretation of God's truth, will and way to mankind through his personal "revelations:" Some others believe, "We're Christians only, but not the only Christians."
What are TTT's standards regarding documentation and evidence?
A great deal of effort has been made by the TTT Editor to hold a high standard of accuracy in reporting details about the 2x2 church and ministry. Telling The Truth has made it a practice to have on file a hard copy of each of the documents, newspaper articles, references, etc. listed in the Basic Researchers Guide, on the Telling the Truth website and in the Book, The Life and Ministry of Wm Irvine by Cherie Kropp. Material included in these mediums relates to subject matter that (1) is published or circulated and which (2) relates to The Church Without a Name, its history, founder and/or congregation. On rare occasions, a few comments without sources have been used, and they are prefaced by the words "allegedly" or "reportedly," indicating the editor has not substantiated same, but thought them worthy of inclusion. The TTT Editor has made due diligence to corroborate evidence when possible, but makes no representations concerning the accuracy of the information presented in the references listed. On occasion when there has been information that conflicts, both versions are given.
Who is the Administrator of TTT?
Telling The Truth (TTT) was started in 1997 by Cherie Kropp as the result of God coming for her words in a vow she made to Him: Daniel 10:12: "for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand...thy words were heard and I am come for thy words."
