First of all Bishop Vashti McKenzie is a promoter anf supporter of fornication. Who endorsement of the book,Oh God, is clear factual evidence of this. So what she has to say on this subject is damaged by her testimony.
"At a workshop at the DST convention Bishop Vashti MacKenzie posed these questions for you to determine if the organization you belong too will interfere in your relationship with God. If you can answer no to all of these questions, then the organization is not a threat nor a hinderance to your beliefs and sprituality, and by the same token it is not to be the vehicle for your religious fulfillment."
1. Does the organization violate the final authority resided in our Lord, Savior Jesus Christ? Yes! This is done in Burial Ceremony.
2. Does the organization have a plan of Salvation? Yes! This is done in the same ceremony.
3. Does the organization teach Salvation other than Jesus Christ or against Salvation through Jesus Christ? Yes! This done in a few parts of their ritual.
4. Is its Constitution and By-Laws teachings contrary to the rules of God? Yes!
5. Does it require its members to believe in a Supreme being or to obey a Supreme being? Yes!
6. Does it fit Webster's definition of religion? Yes!
7. Does the organization worship God as creator and ruler? No!
8. Does the organization teach that it is the one and only true religion? No! And that's the problem.
9. Does the organization reject Christianity or God? (this one may not be worded exactly right.) Yes!
10 Does the organization name other god's in it's prayers and rituals? YES!
11. Does the organization prohibit discussion of God? No! But then, who is God?
12. Does the organization bestow divine titles on it's leaders? No!
13. Does the organization condemn the Bible? No, not directly.
I will obviously not leave you all hanging for long. I will respond in full this evening of Friday. By then I will have McKenzie's quote as well as the answers to those questions. As A matter of fact, I will need to answer some of these on my website due to the sensitive nature of information I must reveal to show you all the truth. It will be posted in my Forum Link. It looks like McKenzie needs to denounce. But one thing for sure, DST has either affected her relationship with Jesus or it was already messed up. Do you notice the compromise in her opening statement. One of the questions she asked is just asking for it. You will see it on my site. If you decide to cut and paste it, that's on you all.

I have read and re-read your post. I don't get it. Maybe I pledged a different Delta than the one you are speaking of above. The Delta I pledged is not a religion. It doesn't seek to become a religion. Therefore, it doesn't teach that it is the one and only true religion or have a plan for salvation. The constitution and by-laws I have doesn't contradict the Bible. I wasn't told to believe in or obey a Supreme Being other than my God. I was never asked to reject Jesus Christ or to place him in lower priority. The Delta I pledged never asked me to condemn the Bible in whole or in part. The leaders of the Delta I pledged are just that, leaders of Delta Sigma Theta. Not divine or supreme being that I must worship or bow before. I have never been told that I can not discuss God or Jesus Christ while the meetings of Delta are in session. So, I don't know what organization you are talking about in your post. But it is not the Delta I pledged.
