Pastor Corey just deleted the comment section on his video about you Pastor Rufus---- SNN! Straitway New Network with the cover up propaganda.... Are we Israel or the nations?
It took a minute but the boldness of Pastor Corey went away once he deleted the comment section and realized how concerned and hurt the flock of yah really is… to see a leader take his power and try to use it to purposely destroy a man/community. And pastor dowell still thinks Yah loves it
@@user-gm2jy5on2l Absolutely! I pray that they lay aside the Passover Feast to focus on Reconciliation with their brother! Or else they run the risk of committing an ABOMINABLE ACT BEFORE THE MOST HIGH!
Pastor Rufus, even though I fell off, you righteously challenged me one day and I was convicted and it helped change my mind for the better. You were the FIRST person to welcome me to Straightway. I'll never forget that, thank you for your labor.
This is honestly why men should have their own land in their name so their children can have inheritance and nobody can just make em leave. Years of investing time and most of your money and energy. Damn this hurts.
Facts… I always questioned-- how was it that 40-50+ entered the land and only 3-5 were left? Isn’t a community supposed to be a sanctuary for saints?? Nah… you get evicted in 30 days if your a pastor, and 1 day if you are a “nobody” like us.
@NoLimitsMD I guess turning the other cheek doesn't apply. WHAT was the problem from the start? Was it a form of sin? And if it was, we didn't kick people out of Israel, they had a chance to sacrifice to yah. This prideful man removed this brother for personal reasons, not from a sin or sin, punishable by death. But because this mf wantsto be like yah and like Moses. Your authority is assumed and not given. Fux all this submit to pastors and elders. MEN!! you can pay respect to man, but you are to only submit to YHWH.
I have been watching Straitway for almost four years now, and all I have seen has been honor coming from you. I have seen nothing but respect and reverence for Pastor Dowell coming from you. I have seen and heard nothing but loyalty from you. I have also seen plenty of blog talks on the sixth day, I have heard Pastor Dowell saying that if any of the brothers ever saw him going off course or doing things outside of the Word Of YAH commands, then love him enough to come to him, and bring him the truth. It appears that you did that, and it was misinterpreted as insubordination, rebellion, personal kingdom building, and position seeking. Your response has been in perfect alignment with The Word Of Yah! A loving response. Shalom Pastor Rufus. Remain steadfast!
"If a child tells you the truth, you better obey it!" ---Pastor Dowell. Last time I checked we are all children of the Most High, especially Pastor Rufus...smh this is sad. Not surprised.
The fact yr still open for reconciliation tells me all I need to know Pastor Rufus.... Bless you. Praying for those affected by this situation, alot of people are going to be affected.
There was always something about Pastor Dowell’s character that I disliked. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I always sensed it. After hearing your testimony it confirms my senses. I believe you and I wish you had your own community. I truly believe you would outgrow Straitway without even trying. I see bigger and better things in your future. Time is very near. YAH has your back!!!!!
Shalom Pastor Rufus. I pray that you are well despite the current circumstances. Like you, I never stopped loving Charles or the saints and continue to pray for you all to this day. A couple of weeks ago I received a notification that you hearted a comment that I made on one of your videos 7 years ago. It seemed really strange at the time but maybe now it makes sense. I discerned that something was wrong when Teacher Eric was slandered and thrown under the bus when he tried to leave quietly and respectfully as instructed when YAH was leading him to do his own work apart from the ministry. When I announced my departure I saw how quickly I was also slandered even though to this day I have never spoken against the ministry or any of the leadership in any public platform. I just knew it was time for me to move on but I my intention was to stay on friendly terms with everyone but that wasn't possible once my character was assassinated although all I ever tried to do was promote and bless YAH's people for over 10 years that I was there. I kept my peace and as it turned out I was able to assist Pastor Eric and the saints of the Mission ministry so I just continued serving YAH as well as exposing the lies that I had seen deceive many including myself. I don't know the whole story but it doesn't make sense that an entire community should be shut down because the leader was accused of a crime. If I were in charge I would remove the leader ( only if his guilt was proven) and would replace him with another brother worthy to lead that community. I had to repent for how I had treated others who had left the ministry in the past. After all, once I knew for a fact that lies were told about both myself and Eric, I couldn't deny that things said about other people could also be lies. Liars will not inherit the kingdom of YAH. Stay strong and keep your faith in YAH and his righteousness. YAH will expose all who deceive and fleece his people. I am still praying for restoration for all of you. And for any who live in fear I am a living testimony that 2 years later, there is life after Straitway and YAH continues to increase my blessings every day. Fear YAH, not man! Shalom.
I am grateful that Yaweh is answering prayers to reveal Dowell and his Spirit of love of money and belongings. If Dowell was a true man of Yaweh you should be able to buy out what they gave you . Keep things in your name it’s biblical to pass land to your family.
I love Dowell. He has major flaws he needs to be kept in check. He is a great man.I couldnt join cuz I thought he could get pissed at me after I joined and boot me after I give all my stuff. I had to pass. He is flawed.
I agree with Pastor Dowell, especially when he said this about Rufus 5 months ago. "Rufus has an Impeccable character, Loves Yah, Fears Yah, Extremely reliable, Example of how a household should be run, Pillar of strength, A really good israelite, Tireless counsellor, No reservations about him in any way, shape fashion or form, Unrebukable, More submissive than ANYBODY in israel, More obedient than ANYBODY in israel." --Pastor Dowell
Facts. Aren't we supposed to:... and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works, and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds As opposed to the opposite. Like the Black Eyed Peas said: FATHER, FATHER, FATHER HELP US SEND SOME GUIDANCE FROM ABOVE CAUSE PEOPLE GOT ME, GOT ME QUESTIONING Where Is The Love? W h e r e / i s / t h e / l o v e ?
I wasn't gonna comment on any of this because I'm not a member of Straitway but I'm tripping because even though I don't follow Straitway like that, I just happened to have seen and heard this in one of the messages pretty much word for word.
@@MorehJosiah peace Josiah. U aint trippin,, its verbatim, here: Pastor Charles Dowell’s Words and Testimony of Pastor Rufus Carswell: “Well, Elder Rufus, even when he was Brother Rufus, has always been a man that’s Yah Fearing, his character has been impeccable, he really loves Yah, and he really loves Israel. To Me, he’s been a great…A Great Help. Ya’ll know how much he travels the roads, a lot of those things: he's just taking weight, taking a burden off of me, so I can be free to do other things, so I can prioritize things that I need to do. He’s always been extremely reliable. I think what I love about him is…what we talked about, before we went live here: he's been an example of the way that a household should run: The way a man should run his house and his household: ‘cause you can tell a lot about a man by what his Ishas (wives) look like. Whatever his Ishas look like, you can tell a lot about him as a man, and so he has been a Pillar of Strength here in Israel. He's done tirelessly counseled with many of you, and helped you along the way, as he himself has advanced. I HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ABOUT HIM WHATSOEVER AT ALL, IN ANY WAY-SHAPE-FASHION-OR-FORM. He’s just a really good Israelite. Just a really good Israelite. [APPLAUSE] And um…it wasn’t me, like I said before, most people don't know how ordinations come about here at Straitway. I don't know how they do it everywhere else, but here at Straitway, we have to get Witnesses. We have to get Witnesses from The Most High Yah, to be able to confirm it in the hearts of at least two Elders. And then, even at that, we have a time or evaluation…I had it in my heart over a year-and-a-half/two years ago, but I didn't move on it…can't move on it, I mean, I mean, if the Law itself establishes, ‘out of the mouth of two or more witnesses, let every word be established,’ that's what we got to live by: That's how you know it’s YAH. So out of us communicating with each other, we get a witness, and then we speak about it, that's how it comes about. So, when Jeremiah 3:15, it says, ‘and I will give you Shepherds according to MY heart.’ See, every good and perfect gift comes from above. It is YAH that is the one that is giving the shepherd: giving the shepherds. So, ‘I will give you Shepherds according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge, and understanding.’ And we definitely can see that he has those qualities about him. He's a wise man, extremely loving man. You heard him when he was an Elder [he said,] ‘I ain't leaving the 99 to go after one, I ain't no Pastor.’ So hey, that’s the end of that! [APPLAUSE] He said words like that, I'm sure he's meant that in part at times, and stuff like that, but when you watch his footprint and his action: the words betray him, the words really truly betray him. So, The Most High Yah, uh, people call it an elevation. It is a calling, but it's a calling showing that you're more submissive than anybody in Israel; You're More Obedient than anybody in Israel; and of course, he doesn't feel it right now, because he's at the feast, it'll slowly start coming upon on him: the weight of it. ‘Cause every time that you get ordained, the responsibility increases, the weight of the ministry increases even the more-so, and Yah just continues to keep piling you up, because he knows that your shoulders is equipped to be able to carry the load. HalleluYah? So I bless…I bless My Pastor, My Brother, My Friend, I love him.” [MICROPHONE DROP] Well, there is one more thing: Pastor [Rufus], how many times have I rebuked you?” Pastor Rufus: I cannot count them. Pastor Dowell: Scolded you? Pastor Rufus: Cannot count them. Pastor Dowell: Made you feel like ‘that?’ Pastor Rufus: Cannot count. Pastor Dowell: Everybody go, ‘we don’t never see it!’ You wasn’t around. “When a man can receive correction it makes him a greater man. He’s at the point now, I don't even have to rebuke him. Ain’t that the way we should all be striving? To get to the point where we're un-rebuke-able? We should be living life in such a manner that we're un-rebuke-able, is that correct? ‘Cause Corrections and Reproofs are the way of life: the way Of Life. So he became the man that he is today…not because he came in perfect: none of us did. Because, he was able to receive correction and instruction, and then implement it, and grow from it. That's the part we don't never hear, but it needed to be said.” ---Pastor Charles Dowell His words about Pastor Rufus Carswell OCTOBER 9TH, 2023 czcams.com/video/g4aqV9H0Ynk/video.html
Have to respect Pastor Rufus he's solid Guy he also admit when he was wrong and stand on it stand strong Real Pastor Rufus 💯💯 The Most High is with you ❤️
I was involved in something almost identical to this. The leader Pastor had a clear calling and vision from God that drew people to invest their time and money. But over time ,success, and too praises everything started to change. Ego, pride, and idea He couldn't be wrong became the norm. They way He talked to people started to change like they were below him...needed him..and if they decided to leave they were 100%blaclisted with no mercy. Yet i know it started off with Godly intentions. Remember...The Devil doesn't bother with the lost. He wants to destroy what God is doing. If the leaders don't stay humble servants ...they will be moved to destroy the very thing God was using them to build.
Our Pastor is offended/hurt, pray for him ❤ I have not even begun to overcome receiving correction and not giving place to rejection, Compared to the righteous example of all of the men and women at Straitway, and I cannot imagine the temptation being in a high position to not be lifted up. I have been so lifted up my whole life, and spoken so many horrible things in my pride and hope for his mercy for us all.
I am heartbroken that you had to go through this. You said you were speaking to that spirit that’s in him. Sounds like he doesn’t think he needs deliverance nor think he has any issues it’s everybody but him. Now that sounds like he has asserted himself as a god! Praying you all can be reconciled. Praying Yah will humble Pastor Dowell that Yah’s will be done. Sounds like you definitely have love for Pastor Dowell while everyone else goes along to get along without caring for ones soul. That’s really disheartening. Out of off the Leaders I feel in my spirit you have more love for him then those around him. Those around him hurting him more than he can even see. Never be a yes man to anyone but Yah!
This is the problem with having a king. Jah never intended for there to be a king. Jah's system is a system of Judges where everyman does what is right in his own eyes as long as he's not sinning.
Let this be a lesson to all men, community properties should be in a trust with members listed as beneficiaries, this would prevent one man from forcing another man off of a property that he spent years building up for family and others.
PASTOR RUFUS I love you my brother! Keep your head up. I have respect for pastor Dowell but I feel in my heart that you r a TRUE man of Yah. I love your spirit and your love for the saints. Pray to Yah and trust in him to guide you. Stay strong my brother. I love you
YAH WILL JUDGE ONLY YAH CAN PUT YOU IN HEAVEN OR HELL TIME IS TO SHORT GET IT TOGETHER NONE OF MY BUSINESS PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER YAH IS COMING YAH IS COMING PRAY AND PLACE IT IN YAHS HAND KEEP PRAYING ❤
Be aware Elder Brother!! Jesus divided you from that ministry for His Glory!! You are a good Brother and your Love of the Christ will keep you and he might be using you to wake up others who might be caught up in idolatry remember Jesus and the Father are a jealous Elohim and Pastor Dowell is Not Greater than the Holy One of Israel the Son of the Elohim of Israel.. Your spirit was given to you by the Lord and he will use you how he desires which will conflict with anyone who is walking contrary to His Holy Spirit… Don’t be afraid and never look down the Most High Is using you.. There’s a lot of Man worshiping going around… I hope you all the best.. Keep Jesus in Front.. ❤❤ Shalom Brothers!!
Elder Refus you and Shep have been literal father figures to me even though i haven’t physically met yall .I came out of the false religion when i was 17 and now i just turned 20 and through those years when i came out i have been watching straitway and even went back to the old archives , man yall literally changed my life by the power of Ruach leading me to straitway . My family can even see it daily in me the way i’ve transformed because of the word , Shep , You , and the Ministry as a whole . Sending love and double honors to you Shep . Shalom ✊🏾
Shalom Shalom. Truth WILL PREVAIL and a man's sins will find him out! Pastor Dowell has spoken many times about how spiritual discernment should first begin with yourself. If one is so keen in their discernment of others why can they not discern the evil in themselves? Selah I have tried to not say anything and I left off fellowship with Straitway quietly because of things I discerned, but TMH Yah is exposing things so that HIS PEOPLE can make a conscious and informed judgement on who to follow. When Apostle Paul said "follow me as I follow Messiah", in essence he was saying if I ever get side tracked, stop following me. A man/woman can fall from ANY level if they are not consistently aware of the wiles of the devil and staying prayed up. As the saying goes, "POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY." Praying for YAH's will to be done in this situation. Bless you Pastor Rufus and Mother Jennifer. Much love to you and the saints of TMH Yah. Praying for Pastor Dowell and family as well as all the leaders and saints of Straitway. I'm sure this is heart-wrenching to a whole lot of souls who love you both.
💯 correct. That is exactly the truth. No Pastor..President or any man is exempt from scrutiny. If people held their leaders to a Godly standard the world and church wouldn't be in this mess.
Elder you made the right move! I’ve been praying for you as soon as I knew you were associated with that organization. That leadership is ungodly and God blessed you for the better
praying for you and pastor dowell. theres a strong spirit working in him. Stay Strong Pastor Rufus. A real man stands for truth. Those other week elders should be ashamed of themselves.
Bless you, Pastor Rufus. This is hard, brother. I've been listening to you all for about 6 years now and have heard how you speak about Pastor Dowell with love and passion. You've always defended him, and it seems like he could do no wrong - that's true love! I follow the ministry and its teachings, and I love both you and Pastor Dowell. This news is heartbreaking and feels like a personal loss. I can only imagine how the saints who are close and directly involved must feel. This situation is damaging to many, I'm second-guessing my dreams of community. I hope you both will rebuke the devil and work this out with the grace of the Almighty Creator. You are strong men, and I aspire to be like you. At the end of the day, the will of YAH will be done. Bless you and your family Pastor Rufus.
Is this part of why my daughter suddenly got sent to Tennessee and Pastor Dowell quickly "married" her? I pray to GOD ALMIGHTY to release her safely from any and all bondages of any and all unrighteous contracts, spiritually and physically!!!! HALLELUYAH!!!
No ma’am, your daughter (our daughter) loved pastor Dowell from the day she came to this ministry. Even after a “rocky” start for her at Straitway, she still loved Pastor Dowell. Yah gave her the desires of her heart… you welcome to call me if you have more questions. Blessings
this is why i have hesitancy to sell my home and join a community. I pray you all work this out for the sake of everyone around you all and including yourselves we have enough opposition as is. Shalom
1 John 2:19 : They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. _Pastor Rufus could have repented, relented his pastorship and become a regular brother, and not lost his soul.
@Have.An.AmicoDay lol, show me that in the bible sir? Once Yah gives a position, it’s for life, man doesn’t have the right to even suggest it. You must certainly be a Dowellite! Everything they asked was unbiblical, and for the record, I repented twice, Dowell refused to receive it. Smh, repeating ignorance you heard… rofl 🤣😂🤣😂
@Have.An.AmicoDay please stop quoting the book, I didn’t “go out from them”, I was put out by a tyrant, WAY DIFFERENT. Your eyes will be open (hopefully) one day.
Been watching, listening, following, seeking with Straightway for many years. I praise YAH for the truths revealed through Pastor Dowell and the saints. I have love for all of Israel and all that are seeking because they are called. This whole situation is unfortunate and a work of the adversary. Restoration should always be the path according to the word in this situation. You don't know me, Pastor Dowell don't know me...but the Lord Most High does. I pray for you all, because these situations are not a good witness for anyone involved. There is none good, not one but YAH. Let every brother involved repent and restore each other, or let the pride and egos be displayed so that YAH may cut it off and cast it away from HIS people. May we always humble our hearts, so that our voices may be heard and upheld through our prayers. Shalom.
Pastor Dowell said not too long ago, on one of his videos that he was under spiritual attack and he asked for the saints to pray for him. Satan is seeking to destroy. I pray for you both.
God is the one that has the authority to judge and condemn any man. One repent to God then to the person and when that is done all shoud be over all done. Saints should serve God. 💓🙏 I am praying for all of you.
Sometimes you can talk too much,trust Yah and move on, because after awhile you start repeating your self...God be with y'all....don't put your confidence in man,man will fail you
I have been in prayer about this for probably the last month so I am giving praise that I’m having confirmation I really do love all of straightway they have gave me so much. I’ve taken a step back from my CZcams channel because I wasn’t sure I was doing it for I will continue to stand back until I get confirmation to put something out. Shalom and I love you brother Rufus.
Shabbat Shalom. Bless you and your household Pastor Rufus. You have a fair, direct, yet humble and righteous heart. HalleluYAH! I love your heart. May THE MOST HIGH continue to bless you and cover your household as you serve YAH and encourage us Israelites! PTTMHY! Continue to walk in truth, loyalty, righteousness, and love for YAH's people. Like you always tell us, stay encouraged. You have always been an example for us, I love you and your wives. Be well. Bendiciones. GTTK! Shalom.❤
Let Pastor Rufus speak, my spirit is so conflicted right now that was not done righteously. I love both of these YAH fearing men, but this isn’t right. Pastor you deserve a fair trial to be heard, and Pastor Dowell is always ready for a challenge so he should be all on this. I’m praying for you and your family stay blessed and safe Pastor Rufus ❤
I am new to your channel. I support you Pastor Rufus due to the confusion and controversy. I my opinion Pastor Dowell is envious of you and his ego has tarnished his reputation. Blessings to you please dont stop your work.❤💕💎
Knew he was wicked when he stole that other man’s whole family. Parading around that man’s wife as his own. Married off the daughter to someone who follows him and helped brain wash that man’s family into getting on video and slandering him. Just to try and justify him taking his wife. And even from afar it was obvious that pastor Rufus and his family including his wife were an instrumental part of Straitway. 30 days is crazy knowing people are living there. Then on video he says all the saints at Georgia are following him. Duh, you just told them they’re not going to have a place to live otherwise. So either stay and follow straitway and have a place to live or out on the streets you go. No consideration for what the people there have put in. King of Straitway sounds about right.
What was done to you by him will be done to the others just give it time. When a spirit isn’t dealt with it’ll continue to grow out of control. It’ll end up destroying the person and those they are around . Seen it too much!
Bless you Pastor Rufus, and Bless Pastor Dowell and all of Straitway. I am praying for restoration. YAH used Pastor Dowell to save my life. My spirit is grieving. I hope you men can work this out in a respectful manner. Reconciliation and restoration is my prayer. Not my will, but YAH will be done. The Most High YAH will sort everything out do not worry. I love you Pastor Rufus, and Pastor Dowell 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I pray that they lay aside the Passover Feast to focus on Reconciliation with their brother! Or else they run the risk of committing an ABOMINABLE ACT BEFORE THE MOST HIGH!
Shalom and Blessings Pastor Rufus and Elder Brent. Thank you both for doing this video, you didnt have to. I trust that Yah will do what He says and restores His people. I agree not focusing on the smokescreen of flesh and blood; but continue fighting against Ha'Satan's kingdom. Strength, honor, blessing, and shalom to you both and your houses in Jesus Name.
Shalom to both of you and your families. I'm not a part of straightway but I've have sent people to straightway and currently have a daughter that's part of straightway. I hope all this get resolved if not keep on pushing.
What happened to "I will debate anyone?" Debate thy cause Pastor Dowell, you always accuse your "enemies" of running and not stepping up to an open, recorded, civil dialogue for all to see...Salute Elder Pastor Rufus. Truth Prevails, Truth is Eternal. Out of the Abundance of the Heart...The Mouth Speaks...The Wicked Flee When None Pursue...and the Righteous are as BOLD as A Lion. The Most High is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE.
For any of the saints watching this, this is a serious sifting process. This isn’t about pastor dowell or pastor rufus. This is the devil trying to sift the people. YAH will have his way regardless! What we need to do is stay firm in the faith and prayed up that we do not get taken out in the process! Father have mercy.
"If a child tells you the truth, you better obey it!" ---Pastor Dowell. Last time I checked we are all children of the Most High, especially Pastor Rufus...smh this is sad. Not surprised.
Each time Dowell attacks Pastor Rufus we will remind him of his bad conduct that he thinks no one is aware of. Lay off our shepherd Elder , Brother, Friend, Pastor Rufus. We will not sit idly by and let you treat him this way. Dowell you are ungrateful and have a poor memory of your humble beginnings.
Im in shock to say the least. Keep pressing forward. Ive watched you for yrs and implementing what you have taught. Praying for Mother Jennifer! Thank you for this video. Praying for yall. Sending prayers and love yalls way
Love you guys so much I pray for you and your ministry. My husband from the beginning has said he could see the truth within brother Rufus and you always just come out, wanting to haveYahuwa knowledge nothing more. I see the honesty in you it is very touching and I just want you to know that you have brothers and sisters in Regina Saskatchewan that are praying for you weekly since the day that you started speaking as a pastor, my cup was overfilled with love for you and your ministrywill continue to be here beside you. If you have somewhere or we can tie with you, please send it to me Shalom, my brother stay strong.
This is so sad but I'm not surprised. Israel has always been this way. Now moving on is what needs to happen. No restoration with hard hearts. Healing, fasting and keeping God first. I will pray for your healing and your favor. I love my fellow brethren.
Pastor Rufus. Stay the course. Yah will handle this. I’ve been watching Straight Way from the beginning till now and you have been 💯 solid to the core. Shalom Bro
I second that! 💯 Salute to the REAL Pastor Rufus who is STILL following the MOST HIGH...for...after all, it is better to follow THE FATHER OF TRUTH than it is to follow a BITTER, HURT, FLAWED, FALLIBLE, FICKLE, LYING, CHANGE-AND-UPDATE-THE-NARRATIVE, EMOTIONAL, EASILY GIVEN TO ANGER, GOSSIPPING, SLANDERING, BETA MAN. Restoration and Repentance would be Beautiful...We...Shall...All...Bear Witness. Jesus, PLEASE return ASAP and JUDGE US ALL.
i just recently started following Straitway. i can only say that the enemy is forever busy trying to tear down the work of YAH. Don't let him win.......🙏
With regards to allowing Denza a platform, I don;t think he did it out of honouring him. I think he had enough wisdom at the time to discern that Denza would condemn himself with his own lips. He had nothing to fear from allowing Denza to speak before the assembly. He may be worried about what might be exposed if he allows you to speak.
Brother don't fall for Pastor Dowell mess! I've watched and followed him and noticed the change in him. His spirit wasn't right! I still watch him from time to time, (his spirit still ain't right) but with a keen 👁!
Putting land in a foundations name and requesting you turn over your land? Etc. Is this Yahs people or the Catholic Church? Leadership needs to divest the foundation and return everything back to its rightful owners before Yah begins to repay.
PSALM 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help or salvation. God is the only One can send someone to hell. Mother Muir 💓🙏 I am praying for you all. Hallelujah
I’ve been telling people this for years . Dowell is a cult leader not a man of Yaweh . Dowell talks about himself more than the most high Yaweh . I listen only to clarify how to live by scripture but do not follow a man . Yaweh does not want me too but follow the word . I pray for you all that Yaweh will provide and show you what he wants you to do and where to be . The darkness is coming to light
I am a young brother from South Africa. I been watching PD for about 6 years now. I've learnt a lot from him and yourself Pastor Rufus. However, I do believe there were times I felt like matters weren't handled properly. For example, when teacher Eric left, I remember there was a video PD posted wishing him well. In that very same video I remember reading a comment of yours that showed displeasure with teacher Eric. I found it interesting why PD would wish him well and you weren't happy with the move. Then teacher Eric made a video on why he left SW. SW then responded, where it was the pastor's and elders standing, I think it was during a feast or wedding (I can't remember). I remember thinking, that the manner in which you were responding, suggested that you hadn't watched teacher Eric's video. I am pretty sure if you were to watch teacher Eric's video "I left man, not Yah" and you watched the response, you'd have a different opinion on the matter now. I believe you were very tactical and respectful in this video. It's just sad to see this happening as an outsider. These are matters I'd hope that you would handle within yourselves. I remember teacher Eric mentioning that PD's judgement is very harsh on people he disagrees with. I think you have proved that. Your love for PD is very evident, his love for you was also evident. Even when you were ordained pastor, I remember watching the video and seeing the emotion in you. That was a beautiful scene, I even remember the speech/account PD gave of you. It doesn't make sense why you'd be chased out in this manner so soon after that. I remember you liked to mention that people should not eat off the table of other pastors because they'll be deceived. I always disagreed with that because I believe man is fallible. These are the things that I have observed as an outsider living in a different country. I still love all of you, PD, yourself and teacher Eric. I hope peace can be restored because you are the ones who teach us the ways of Yah.
Appreciate the insight, and I remember my displeasure with Teacher Eric, I thought him not being willing to come and sit with the leaders to discuss his decision to leave was cowardly…but, I did watch his video eventually and he did make some valid points I agreed with. My family is fine, doing well, blessings to you and yours, shalom.
Shalom. I don't really know the issues but I see your heart. Just talk to the Father. Talk to him, over and over. He will hear it. I have learned this, I don't talk to anyone but my Father. He has covered me every time all my life, even in my darkest most terrible days, he has never failed me. Ever. Leave it in the Father's hands and continue moving forward. You will see.
You have two babies one that six years old and one that’s for who are praying with you. I wish I could send you a video but they are on their knees praying that all of this gets settled and don’t take it on. Don’t take anything on brother you are doing the right thing
Pastor Rufus always came over as Pastor Dowell's no 1 supporter with an over the lop loyalty. This story makes me think of this Joseph Stalin quote Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.
The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd 34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them. 7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them. 11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
This breaks my heart, we love you Pastor Rufus, and SW, the apocrypha say, or somewhere in the prophets that some of the wise will fall in the last days, but that it is so they might be tried, praying Pastor Dowell will do the right thing. Praying for mercy, praying for restoration, praying for everyone, for the love of the Truth, and of the brethren. 😭💔
Always two sides of a story!! Hopefully you will be able to have a righteous trail in front of YAH 'S PEOPLE! Cant believe you are being treated in this manner. Thank you for the DIRECT MESSAGE. YAH will prevail.
@KGB94TV Where's the unrighteousness and are we not required to follow the procedures that Yah has laid out ahead of us should he not be able to address the congregation and face his accusers should not be brought in front of everyone so they can hear and then him being judged righteously instead of one person being the judge jury and executioner let it come before the people instead of behind closed doors bring out all the information bring out the meeting in Green Bay bring out the zoom meetings and let the people decide this is not been done righteously and that's why I left not because I thought he was free of judgment it just needs to be done righteously and an order not twisting the scriptures the man that picked up sticks wasn't stone because he was presumptuous he was stoned because he was working on Sabbath come on people do you homework just like Pastor Dowell has always said read some before and read some after come on people be righteous
Thank U Elder Brent. Facts and undeniable TRUTH. A hit dog...will holler! Even if that dog still has dogs insulating him from the challenge! #wickedness
I agree . Pastor Rufus served for 13 years and was Pastor Dowell’s armour bearer. He should be judged fairly.When Aaron sinned against Moses did the Most High run him out ,only Miriam got leprosy and wasn’t she forgiven. You should not deal with a Pastor like how you deal with others. The people are hurting. This just shows that only a fool puts their trust in men.
Pastor Corey just deleted the comment section on his video about you Pastor Rufus---- SNN! Straitway New Network with the cover up propaganda.... Are we Israel or the nations?
It took a minute but the boldness of Pastor Corey went away once he deleted the comment section and realized how concerned and hurt the flock of yah really is… to see a leader take his power and try to use it to purposely destroy a man/community. And pastor dowell still thinks Yah loves it
They can’t just puff their chest out and read scriptures like the would normally do. This one is going to take serious restoration.
@@user-gm2jy5on2l the man deserves to be heard out in the open-- no videos, no responses, nothing. This man Rufus is a Pastor… ordained by Yah.
@@user-gm2jy5on2l Absolutely! I pray that they lay aside the Passover Feast to focus on Reconciliation with their brother! Or else they run the risk of committing an ABOMINABLE ACT BEFORE THE MOST HIGH!
Damn for real
Been there, done that, got the tshirts. My advice: Let it go, do not look back, focus on your sheep. Let it go, Brother.
Shalom.
Received
❤❤
This is the best advice from pastor Joe Fox💪🏿🙏🏽💪🏼
Sounds like a blessing in your favor, freeing you from nonsense
Agreed
Pastor Rufus, even though I fell off, you righteously challenged me one day and I was convicted and it helped change my mind for the better. You were the FIRST person to welcome me to Straightway. I'll never forget that, thank you for your labor.
Blessings my brother and glad to hear you on track… finish the race my brother. Shalom
Jealousy, you were a threat to him. These community’s land should belong to the saints who purchased the land. Manipulation , control and corruption.
This is honestly why men should have their own land in their name so their children can have inheritance and nobody can just make em leave. Years of investing time and most of your money and energy. Damn this hurts.
@HebrewTactical Very true, the handing over of wealth and wages is a clear sign of a cult.
Facts… I always questioned-- how was it that 40-50+ entered the land and only 3-5 were left? Isn’t a community supposed to be a sanctuary for saints?? Nah… you get evicted in 30 days if your a pastor, and 1 day if you are a “nobody” like us.
@NoLimitsMD I guess turning the other cheek doesn't apply. WHAT was the problem from the start? Was it a form of sin? And if it was, we didn't kick people out of Israel, they had a chance to sacrifice to yah. This prideful man removed this brother for personal reasons, not from a sin or sin, punishable by death. But because this mf wantsto be like yah and like Moses. Your authority is assumed and not given. Fux all this submit to pastors and elders. MEN!! you can pay respect to man, but you are to only submit to YHWH.
I have a house in Missouri.I am not giving it to Straitway ministries or anyone else.
@@NoLimitsMD1 day? Who finds a place to live in one day. You expect us to believe that😮?
I have been watching Straitway for almost four years now, and all I have seen has been honor coming from you. I have seen nothing but respect and reverence for Pastor Dowell coming from you. I have seen and heard nothing but loyalty from you.
I have also seen plenty of blog talks on the sixth day, I have heard Pastor Dowell saying that if any of the brothers ever saw him going off course or doing things outside of the Word Of YAH commands, then love him enough to come to him, and bring him the truth.
It appears that you did that, and it was misinterpreted as insubordination, rebellion, personal kingdom building, and position seeking. Your response has been in perfect alignment with The Word Of Yah! A loving response. Shalom Pastor Rufus. Remain steadfast!
"If a child tells you the truth, you better obey it!" ---Pastor Dowell. Last time I checked we are all children of the Most High, especially Pastor Rufus...smh this is sad. Not surprised.
I agree Elder Brent. If you can not find anything dirty or unrighteous regarding Pastor Rufus then you are right from removing yourself.
The fact yr still open for reconciliation tells me all I need to know Pastor Rufus.... Bless you. Praying for those affected by this situation, alot of people are going to be affected.
There was always something about Pastor Dowell’s character that I disliked. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I always sensed it. After hearing your testimony it confirms my senses. I believe you and I wish you had your own community. I truly believe you would outgrow Straitway without even trying. I see bigger and better things in your future. Time is very near. YAH has your back!!!!!
I noticed that too @grega.9197
I can put a whole lot of fingers on it since you came outside looking in
Shalom Pastor Rufus. I pray that you are well despite the current circumstances. Like you, I never stopped loving Charles or the saints and continue to pray for you all to this day. A couple of weeks ago I received a notification that you hearted a comment that I made on one of your videos 7 years ago. It seemed really strange at the time but maybe now it makes sense. I discerned that something was wrong when Teacher Eric was slandered and thrown under the bus when he tried to leave quietly and respectfully as instructed when YAH was leading him to do his own work apart from the ministry. When I announced my departure I saw how quickly I was also slandered even though to this day I have never spoken against the ministry or any of the leadership in any public platform. I just knew it was time for me to move on but I my intention was to stay on friendly terms with everyone but that wasn't possible once my character was assassinated although all I ever tried to do was promote and bless YAH's people for over 10 years that I was there. I kept my peace and as it turned out I was able to assist Pastor Eric and the saints of the Mission ministry so I just continued serving YAH as well as exposing the lies that I had seen deceive many including myself. I don't know the whole story but it doesn't make sense that an entire community should be shut down because the leader was accused of a crime. If I were in charge I would remove the leader ( only if his guilt was proven) and would replace him with another brother worthy to lead that community. I had to repent for how I had treated others who had left the ministry in the past. After all, once I knew for a fact that lies were told about both myself and Eric, I couldn't deny that things said about other people could also be lies. Liars will not inherit the kingdom of YAH. Stay strong and keep your faith in YAH and his righteousness. YAH will expose all who deceive and fleece his people. I am still praying for restoration for all of you. And for any who live in fear I am a living testimony that 2 years later, there is life after Straitway and YAH continues to increase my blessings every day. Fear YAH, not man! Shalom.
Your comment gets a "HalleluYah...Praise Yah" from me. ✊🏽
I am grateful that Yaweh is answering prayers to reveal Dowell and his Spirit of love of money and belongings. If Dowell was a true man of Yaweh you should be able to buy out what they gave you . Keep things in your name it’s biblical to pass land to your family.
I love Dowell. He has major flaws he needs to be kept in check. He is a great man.I couldnt join cuz I thought he could get pissed at me after I joined and boot me after I give all my stuff. I had to pass. He is flawed.
Your time there is done. Keep following the voice of Yah and you and your family will be just fine.
Dowell doesnt want to be challenged.😢
He uses the word and his ego to control. Now someone is attacking.
Facts @NeoAndersonReloaded.Now that the roles are reversed Charles is in his own feelings and opinions and emotions.Sad.
I agree with Pastor Dowell, especially when he said this about Rufus 5 months ago.
"Rufus has an Impeccable character, Loves Yah, Fears Yah, Extremely reliable, Example of how a household should be run, Pillar of strength, A really good israelite, Tireless counsellor, No reservations about him in any way, shape fashion or form, Unrebukable, More submissive than ANYBODY in israel, More obedient than ANYBODY in israel." --Pastor Dowell
Facts. Aren't we supposed to:... and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,
and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds
As opposed to the opposite.
Like the Black Eyed Peas said:
FATHER, FATHER, FATHER HELP US
SEND SOME GUIDANCE FROM ABOVE
CAUSE PEOPLE GOT ME, GOT ME QUESTIONING
Where Is The Love?
W h e r e / i s / t h e / l o v e ?
Amazing to me how Pastor Dowell is the abuser and claims to be the victim at the same damn time. Wicked, Wrong = That Is E V I L
I wasn't gonna comment on any of this because I'm not a member of Straitway but I'm tripping because even though I don't follow Straitway like that, I just happened to have seen and heard this in one of the messages pretty much word for word.
@@MorehJosiah peace Josiah. U aint trippin,, its verbatim, here: Pastor Charles Dowell’s Words and Testimony of Pastor Rufus Carswell:
“Well, Elder Rufus, even when he was Brother Rufus, has always been a man that’s Yah Fearing, his character has been impeccable, he really loves Yah, and he really loves Israel.
To Me, he’s been a great…A Great Help. Ya’ll know how much he travels the roads, a lot of those things: he's just taking weight, taking a burden off of me, so I can be free to do other things, so I can prioritize things that I need to do. He’s always been extremely reliable.
I think what I love about him is…what we talked about, before we went live here: he's been an example of the way that a household should run: The way a man should run his house and his household: ‘cause you can tell a lot about a man by what his Ishas (wives) look like.
Whatever his Ishas look like, you can tell a lot about him as a man, and so he has been a Pillar of Strength here in Israel. He's done tirelessly counseled with many of you, and helped you along the way, as he himself has advanced.
I HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ABOUT HIM WHATSOEVER AT ALL, IN ANY WAY-SHAPE-FASHION-OR-FORM.
He’s just a really good Israelite. Just a really good Israelite. [APPLAUSE]
And um…it wasn’t me, like I said before, most people don't know how ordinations come about here at Straitway. I don't know how they do it everywhere else, but here at Straitway, we have to get Witnesses.
We have to get Witnesses from The Most High Yah, to be able to confirm it in the hearts of at least two Elders. And then, even at that, we have a time or evaluation…I had it in my heart over a year-and-a-half/two years ago, but I didn't move on it…can't move on it, I mean, I mean, if the Law itself establishes, ‘out of the mouth of two or more witnesses, let every word be established,’ that's what we got to live by: That's how you know it’s YAH.
So out of us communicating with each other, we get a witness, and then we speak about it, that's how it comes about.
So, when Jeremiah 3:15, it says, ‘and I will give you Shepherds according to MY heart.’ See, every good and perfect gift comes from above. It is YAH that is the one that is giving the shepherd: giving the shepherds.
So, ‘I will give you Shepherds according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge, and understanding.’ And we definitely can see that he has those qualities about him. He's a wise man, extremely loving man.
You heard him when he was an Elder [he said,] ‘I ain't leaving the 99 to go after one, I ain't no Pastor.’ So hey, that’s the end of that! [APPLAUSE]
He said words like that, I'm sure he's meant that in part at times, and stuff like that, but when you watch his footprint and his action: the words betray him, the words really truly betray him.
So, The Most High Yah, uh, people call it an elevation. It is a calling, but it's a calling showing that you're more submissive than anybody in Israel;
You're More Obedient than anybody in Israel; and of course, he doesn't feel it right now, because he's at the feast, it'll slowly start coming upon on him: the weight of it.
‘Cause every time that you get ordained, the responsibility increases, the weight of the ministry increases even the more-so, and Yah just continues to keep piling you up, because he knows that your shoulders is equipped to be able to carry the load. HalleluYah?
So I bless…I bless My Pastor, My Brother, My Friend, I love him.” [MICROPHONE DROP]
Well, there is one more thing: Pastor [Rufus], how many times have I rebuked you?”
Pastor Rufus: I cannot count them.
Pastor Dowell: Scolded you?
Pastor Rufus: Cannot count them.
Pastor Dowell: Made you feel like ‘that?’
Pastor Rufus: Cannot count.
Pastor Dowell: Everybody go, ‘we don’t never see it!’ You wasn’t around.
“When a man can receive correction it makes him a greater man. He’s at the point now, I don't even have to rebuke him. Ain’t that the way we should all be striving? To get to the point where we're un-rebuke-able? We should be living life in such a manner that we're un-rebuke-able, is that correct?
‘Cause Corrections and Reproofs are the way of life: the way Of Life. So he became the man that he is today…not because he came in perfect: none of us did. Because, he was able to receive correction and instruction, and then implement it, and grow from it. That's the part we don't never hear, but it needed to be said.”

Have to respect Pastor Rufus he's solid Guy he also admit when he was wrong and stand on it stand strong Real Pastor Rufus 💯💯 The Most High is with you ❤️
I was involved in something almost identical to this. The leader Pastor had a clear calling and vision from God that drew people to invest their time and money. But over time ,success, and too praises everything started to change. Ego, pride, and idea He couldn't be wrong became the norm. They way He talked to people started to change like they were below him...needed him..and if they decided to leave they were 100%blaclisted with no mercy. Yet i know it started off with Godly intentions. Remember...The Devil doesn't bother with the lost. He wants to destroy what God is doing. If the leaders don't stay humble servants ...they will be moved to destroy the very thing God was using them to build.
Our Pastor is offended/hurt, pray for him ❤ I have not even begun to overcome receiving correction and not giving place to rejection, Compared to the righteous example of all of the men and women at Straitway, and I cannot imagine the temptation being in a high position to not be lifted up. I have been so lifted up my whole life, and spoken so many horrible things in my pride and hope for his mercy for us all.
I am heartbroken that you had to go through this. You said you were speaking to that spirit that’s in him. Sounds like he doesn’t think he needs deliverance nor think he has any issues it’s everybody but him. Now that sounds like he has asserted himself as a god! Praying you all can be reconciled. Praying Yah will humble Pastor Dowell that Yah’s will be done. Sounds like you definitely have love for Pastor Dowell while everyone else goes along to get along without caring for ones soul. That’s really disheartening. Out of off the Leaders I feel in my spirit you have more love for him then those around him. Those around him hurting him more than he can even see. Never be a yes man to anyone but Yah!
This is the problem with having a king. Jah never intended for there to be a king. Jah's system is a system of Judges where everyman does what is right in his own eyes as long as he's not sinning.
Let this be a lesson to all men, community properties should be in a trust with members listed as beneficiaries, this would prevent one man from forcing another man off of a property that he spent years building up for family and others.
Hallelujah
PASTOR RUFUS I love you my brother! Keep your head up. I have respect for pastor Dowell but I feel in my heart that you r a TRUE man of Yah. I love your spirit and your love for the saints. Pray to Yah and trust in him to guide you. Stay strong my brother. I love you
YAH WILL JUDGE ONLY YAH CAN PUT YOU IN HEAVEN OR HELL TIME IS TO SHORT GET IT TOGETHER NONE OF MY BUSINESS PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER YAH IS COMING YAH IS COMING PRAY AND PLACE IT IN YAHS HAND KEEP PRAYING ❤
You are definitely needed in that ministry to keep the spiritual balance.
Damage done, we gotta move on, Yah will be done.
Be aware Elder Brother!!
Jesus divided you from that ministry for His Glory!!
You are a good Brother and your Love of the Christ will keep you and he might be using you to wake up others who might be caught up in idolatry remember Jesus and the Father are a jealous Elohim and Pastor Dowell is Not Greater than the Holy One of Israel the Son of the Elohim of Israel.. Your spirit was given to you by the Lord and he will use you how he desires which will conflict with anyone who is walking contrary to His Holy Spirit…
Don’t be afraid and never look down the Most High Is using you..
There’s a lot of Man worshiping going around…
I hope you all the best..
Keep Jesus in Front..

Shalom Brothers!!
Elder Refus you and Shep have been literal father figures to me even though i haven’t physically met yall .I came out of the false religion when i was 17 and now i just turned 20 and through those years when i came out i have been watching straitway and even went back to the old archives , man yall literally changed my life by the power of Ruach leading me to straitway . My family can even see it daily in me the way i’ve transformed because of the word , Shep , You , and the Ministry as a whole . Sending love and double honors to you Shep . Shalom ✊🏾
Shalom Shalom. Truth WILL PREVAIL and a man's sins will find him out! Pastor Dowell has spoken many times about how spiritual discernment should first begin with yourself. If one is so keen in their discernment of others why can they not discern the evil in themselves? Selah I have tried to not say anything and I left off fellowship with Straitway quietly because of things I discerned, but TMH Yah is exposing things so that HIS PEOPLE can make a conscious and informed judgement on who to follow. When Apostle Paul said "follow me as I follow Messiah", in essence he was saying if I ever get side tracked, stop following me. A man/woman can fall from ANY level if they are not consistently aware of the wiles of the devil and staying prayed up. As the saying goes, "POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY." Praying for YAH's will to be done in this situation. Bless you Pastor Rufus and Mother Jennifer. Much love to you and the saints of TMH Yah. Praying for Pastor Dowell and family as well as all the leaders and saints of Straitway. I'm sure this is heart-wrenching to a whole lot of souls who love you both.
💯 correct. That is exactly the truth. No Pastor..President or any man is exempt from scrutiny. If people held their leaders to a Godly standard the world and church wouldn't be in this mess.
Elder you made the right move! I’ve been praying for you as soon as I knew you were associated with that organization. That leadership is ungodly and God blessed you for the better
praying for you and pastor dowell. theres a strong spirit working in him. Stay Strong Pastor Rufus. A real man stands for truth. Those other week elders should be ashamed of themselves.
AGREED!!!
I pray for restoration through all of this Pastor!
Bless you Brother
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
Bless you, Pastor Rufus. This is hard, brother. I've been listening to you all for about 6 years now and have heard how you speak about Pastor Dowell with love and passion. You've always defended him, and it seems like he could do no wrong - that's true love! I follow the ministry and its teachings, and I love both you and Pastor Dowell. This news is heartbreaking and feels like a personal loss. I can only imagine how the saints who are close and directly involved must feel. This situation is damaging to many, I'm second-guessing my dreams of community. I hope you both will rebuke the devil and work this out with the grace of the Almighty Creator. You are strong men, and I aspire to be like you. At the end of the day, the will of YAH will be done. Bless you and your family Pastor Rufus.
Bless you Pastor Rufus. I see your heart🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾....
HALLELUYAH TO THE MOST HIGH
God is the one who called his servants to preach His word. God is in control! Mother Muir ❤💓🙏
Bless you mother, shabbat shalom
Is this part of why my daughter suddenly got sent to Tennessee and Pastor Dowell quickly "married" her? I pray to GOD ALMIGHTY to release her safely from any and all bondages of any and all unrighteous contracts, spiritually and physically!!!! HALLELUYAH!!!
No ma’am, your daughter (our daughter) loved pastor Dowell from the day she came to this ministry. Even after a “rocky” start for her at Straitway, she still loved Pastor Dowell. Yah gave her the desires of her heart… you welcome to call me if you have more questions. Blessings
Thank you
Your daughter married Pastor Dowell?
@lorenzotalmidiymofyahusha8981 yes, one of my spiritual daughters, she lived under my roof for almost 4 yrs
this is why i have hesitancy to sell my home and join a community. I pray you all work this out for the sake of everyone around you all and including yourselves we have enough opposition as is. Shalom
Not gone happen with me. I know people too well. Stay blessed sis.
Pastor Dowell told his followers to unfollow Pastor Rufus. Like what man of the Most High does that? Please make it make sense... Thats pure evil.
That would in fact be cultic.
Exactly!!!
1 John 2:19 : They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. _Pastor Rufus could have repented, relented his pastorship and become a regular brother, and not lost his soul.
@Have.An.AmicoDay lol, show me that in the bible sir? Once Yah gives a position, it’s for life, man doesn’t have the right to even suggest it. You must certainly be a Dowellite! Everything they asked was unbiblical, and for the record, I repented twice, Dowell refused to receive it. Smh, repeating ignorance you heard… rofl 🤣😂🤣😂
@Have.An.AmicoDay please stop quoting the book, I didn’t “go out from them”, I was put out by a tyrant, WAY DIFFERENT. Your eyes will be open (hopefully) one day.
Words of Truth are affirmed in one’s Soul. I feel you are saying the Truth. Pastor you are Speaking the Truth. Yah Bless you.
I've been watching you guys for a while add a I knew it would come to this, just yoke with YAH and continue His calling
☝️❤️
Been watching, listening, following, seeking with Straightway for many years. I praise YAH for the truths revealed through Pastor Dowell and the saints. I have love for all of Israel and all that are seeking because they are called. This whole situation is unfortunate and a work of the adversary. Restoration should always be the path according to the word in this situation. You don't know me, Pastor Dowell don't know me...but the Lord Most High does. I pray for you all, because these situations are not a good witness for anyone involved. There is none good, not one but YAH. Let every brother involved repent and restore each other, or let the pride and egos be displayed so that YAH may cut it off and cast it away from HIS people. May we always humble our hearts, so that our voices may be heard and upheld through our prayers. Shalom.
Pastor Dowell said not too long ago, on one of his videos that he was under spiritual attack and he asked for the saints to pray for him. Satan is seeking to destroy. I pray for you both.
As he attacks another man’s wife! Yea right
A haughty spirit goes before a fall, and pride before destruction #Warning #PastorDowell
God is the one that has the authority to judge and condemn any man. One repent to God then to the person and when that is done all shoud be over all done. Saints should serve God. 💓🙏 I am praying for all of you.
Sometimes you can talk too much,trust Yah and move on, because after awhile you start repeating your self...God be with y'all....don't put your confidence in man,man will fail you
Finally!!!!! Unrighteousness being exposed.. Hopefully restoration for all of Straitway. Let truth prevail
I have been in prayer about this for probably the last month so I am giving praise that I’m having confirmation I really do love all of straightway they have gave me so much. I’ve taken a step back from my CZcams channel because I wasn’t sure I was doing it for I will continue to stand back until I get confirmation to put something out. Shalom and I love you brother Rufus.
Shabbat Shalom. Bless you and your household Pastor Rufus. You have a fair, direct, yet humble and righteous heart. HalleluYAH! I love your heart. May THE MOST HIGH continue to bless you and cover your household as you serve YAH and encourage us Israelites! PTTMHY! Continue to walk in truth, loyalty, righteousness, and love for YAH's people. Like you always tell us, stay encouraged. You have always been an example for us, I love you and your wives. Be well. Bendiciones. GTTK! Shalom.❤
Pastor Rufus, your family need more than 30 days.
Naw, we good, Yah got us covered. We won’t even take 30 days to leave.
Let Pastor Rufus speak, my spirit is so conflicted right now that was not done righteously. I love both of these YAH fearing men, but this isn’t right. Pastor you deserve a fair trial to be heard, and Pastor Dowell is always ready for a challenge so he should be all on this. I’m praying for you and your family stay blessed and safe Pastor Rufus ❤
God Bless real Man of God Pastor Rufus
I am new to your channel. I support you Pastor Rufus due to the confusion and controversy. I my opinion Pastor Dowell is envious of you and his ego has tarnished his reputation. Blessings to you please dont stop your work.❤💕💎
Knew he was wicked when he stole that other man’s whole family. Parading around that man’s wife as his own. Married off the daughter to someone who follows him and helped brain wash that man’s family into getting on video and slandering him. Just to try and justify him taking his wife.
And even from afar it was obvious that pastor Rufus and his family including his wife were an instrumental part of Straitway.
30 days is crazy knowing people are living there. Then on video he says all the saints at Georgia are following him. Duh, you just told them they’re not going to have a place to live otherwise. So either stay and follow straitway and have a place to live or out on the streets you go. No consideration for what the people there have put in.
King of Straitway sounds about right.
Exactly
What? Whose wife and family did he steal?
You follow God not man I don't need a man for nothing like this
What was done to you by him will be done to the others just give it time. When a spirit isn’t dealt with it’ll continue to grow out of control. It’ll end up destroying the person and those they are around . Seen it too much!
Bless you Pastor Rufus, and Bless Pastor Dowell and all of Straitway. I am praying for restoration. YAH used Pastor Dowell to save my life. My spirit is grieving. I hope you men can work this out in a respectful manner. Reconciliation and restoration is my prayer. Not my will, but YAH will be done. The Most High YAH will sort everything out do not worry. I love you Pastor Rufus, and Pastor Dowell 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I pray that they lay aside the Passover Feast to focus on Reconciliation with their brother! Or else they run the risk of committing an ABOMINABLE ACT BEFORE THE MOST HIGH!
Shalom and Blessings Pastor Rufus and Elder Brent. Thank you both for doing this video, you didnt have to. I trust that Yah will do what He says and restores His people. I agree not focusing on the smokescreen of flesh and blood; but continue fighting against Ha'Satan's kingdom. Strength, honor, blessing, and shalom to you both and your houses in Jesus Name.
STAY STRONG ELDER
Shalom to both of you and your families. I'm not a part of straightway but I've have sent people to straightway and currently have a daughter that's part of straightway. I hope all this get resolved if not keep on pushing.
What happened to "I will debate anyone?" Debate thy cause Pastor Dowell, you always accuse your "enemies" of running and not stepping up to an open, recorded, civil dialogue for all to see...Salute Elder Pastor Rufus. Truth Prevails, Truth is Eternal. Out of the Abundance of the Heart...The Mouth Speaks...The Wicked Flee When None Pursue...and the Righteous are as BOLD as A Lion. The Most High is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE.
Truth!
For any of the saints watching this, this is a serious sifting process. This isn’t about pastor dowell or pastor rufus. This is the devil trying to sift the people. YAH will have his way regardless! What we need to do is stay firm in the faith and prayed up that we do not get taken out in the process! Father have mercy.
"If a child tells you the truth, you better obey it!" ---Pastor Dowell. Last time I checked we are all children of the Most High, especially Pastor Rufus...smh this is sad. Not surprised.
I totally agree brother...it's sad, but not surprising hmmmmm
Each time Dowell attacks Pastor Rufus we will remind him of his bad conduct that he thinks no one is aware of. Lay off our shepherd Elder , Brother, Friend, Pastor Rufus.
We will not sit idly by and let you treat him this way. Dowell you are ungrateful and have a poor memory of your humble beginnings.
I will still follow you pastor Rufus.❤
My God......🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Pastor Rufus you are cool stay strong❤❤❤
They want your land Elder. Shady works were in the making. Stand your ground on faith 💪🏾
Cast Dowells demons out from the land . Yaweh knows . Stand strong .
Im in shock to say the least. Keep pressing forward. Ive watched you for yrs and implementing what you have taught. Praying for Mother Jennifer! Thank you for this video. Praying for yall. Sending prayers and love yalls way
❤❤❤❤ I love you both😢 good job being strong and loving my pastor
Love you guys so much I pray for you and your ministry. My husband from the beginning has said he could see the truth within brother Rufus and you always just come out, wanting to haveYahuwa knowledge nothing more. I see the honesty in you it is very touching and I just want you to know that you have brothers and sisters in Regina Saskatchewan that are praying for you weekly since the day that you started speaking as a pastor, my cup was overfilled with love for you and your ministrywill continue to be here beside you. If you have somewhere or we can tie with you, please send it to me Shalom, my brother stay strong.

Truly appreciate the support and prayers. Blessings
@@rcarswell44l am here for Pastor.Sorry you mistreated this way.
I can see the hurt and disappointment in your eyes, I pray YAH'S WILL be done!
So do I 😢💔💔💔
This is so sad but I'm not surprised. Israel has always been this way. Now moving on is what needs to happen. No restoration with hard hearts. Healing, fasting and keeping God first. I will pray for your healing and your favor. I love my fellow brethren.
Appreciate and thank you for all the needed prayers. Blessings
Heart is absolutely broken haven’t slept right since then we the people are hurting over this
Pastor Rufus. Stay the course. Yah will handle this. I’ve been watching Straight Way from the beginning till now and you have been 💯 solid to the core. Shalom Bro
I second that! 💯 Salute to the REAL Pastor Rufus who is STILL following the MOST HIGH...for...after all, it is better to follow THE FATHER OF TRUTH than it is to follow a BITTER, HURT, FLAWED, FALLIBLE, FICKLE, LYING, CHANGE-AND-UPDATE-THE-NARRATIVE, EMOTIONAL, EASILY GIVEN TO ANGER, GOSSIPPING, SLANDERING, BETA MAN. Restoration and Repentance would be Beautiful...We...Shall...All...Bear Witness. Jesus, PLEASE return ASAP and JUDGE US ALL.
i just recently started following Straitway. i can only say that the enemy is forever busy trying to tear down the work of YAH. Don't let him win.......🙏
With regards to allowing Denza a platform, I don;t think he did it out of honouring him. I think he had enough wisdom at the time to discern that Denza would condemn himself with his own lips. He had nothing to fear from allowing Denza to speak before the assembly. He may be worried about what might be exposed if he allows you to speak.
Brother don't fall for Pastor Dowell mess! I've watched and followed him and noticed the change in him. His spirit wasn't right! I still watch him from time to time, (his spirit still ain't right) but with a keen 👁!
Stay strong, we love yall, praying for yall
Much love Pastor Rufus, I have your back ach!
Appreciate
No one man should be over the people. Pastors are sheperds not rulers. May the Most High increase you brother.
Putting land in a foundations name and requesting you turn over your land? Etc.
Is this Yahs people or the Catholic Church?
Leadership needs to divest the foundation and return everything back to its rightful owners before Yah begins to repay.
Protect the families of Straitway Georgia.
PSALM 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help or salvation. God is the only One can send someone to hell. Mother Muir 💓🙏 I am praying for you all. Hallelujah
I’ve been telling people this for years . Dowell is a cult leader not a man of Yaweh . Dowell talks about himself more than the most high Yaweh . I listen only to clarify how to live by scripture but do not follow a man . Yaweh does not want me too but follow the word . I pray for you all that Yaweh will provide and show you what he wants you to do and where to be . The darkness is coming to light
I am a young brother from South Africa. I been watching PD for about 6 years now. I've learnt a lot from him and yourself Pastor Rufus. However, I do believe there were times I felt like matters weren't handled properly.
For example, when teacher Eric left, I remember there was a video PD posted wishing him well. In that very same video I remember reading a comment of yours that showed displeasure with teacher Eric. I found it interesting why PD would wish him well and you weren't happy with the move.
Then teacher Eric made a video on why he left SW. SW then responded, where it was the pastor's and elders standing, I think it was during a feast or wedding (I can't remember). I remember thinking, that the manner in which you were responding, suggested that you hadn't watched teacher Eric's video. I am pretty sure if you were to watch teacher Eric's video "I left man, not Yah" and you watched the response, you'd have a different opinion on the matter now.
I believe you were very tactical and respectful in this video. It's just sad to see this happening as an outsider. These are matters I'd hope that you would handle within yourselves. I remember teacher Eric mentioning that PD's judgement is very harsh on people he disagrees with. I think you have proved that.
Your love for PD is very evident, his love for you was also evident. Even when you were ordained pastor, I remember watching the video and seeing the emotion in you. That was a beautiful scene, I even remember the speech/account PD gave of you. It doesn't make sense why you'd be chased out in this manner so soon after that.
I remember you liked to mention that people should not eat off the table of other pastors because they'll be deceived. I always disagreed with that because I believe man is fallible.
These are the things that I have observed as an outsider living in a different country. I still love all of you, PD, yourself and teacher Eric. I hope peace can be restored because you are the ones who teach us the ways of Yah.
Appreciate the insight, and I remember my displeasure with Teacher Eric, I thought him not being willing to come and sit with the leaders to discuss his decision to leave was cowardly…but, I did watch his video eventually and he did make some valid points I agreed with. My family is fine, doing well, blessings to you and yours, shalom.
Bless you, Shep!
Shalom. I don't really know the issues but I see your heart. Just talk to the Father. Talk to him, over and over. He will hear it. I have learned this, I don't talk to anyone but my Father. He has covered me every time all my life, even in my darkest most terrible days, he has never failed me. Ever. Leave it in the Father's hands and continue moving forward. You will see.

You have two babies one that six years old and one that’s for who are praying with you. I wish I could send you a video but they are on their knees praying that all of this gets settled and don’t take it on. Don’t take anything on brother you are doing the right thing
you all are set apart for a reason!!
Pastor Rufus always came over as Pastor Dowell's no 1 supporter with an over the lop loyalty. This story makes me think of this Joseph Stalin quote Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.
Wow....blessings!!!
Glad you had the land you built your house on in your name.
The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd
34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
This breaks my heart, we love you Pastor Rufus, and SW, the apocrypha say, or somewhere in the prophets that some of the wise will fall in the last days, but that it is so they might be tried, praying Pastor Dowell will do the right thing. Praying for mercy, praying for restoration, praying for everyone, for the love of the Truth, and of the brethren. 😭💔
Always two sides of a story!! Hopefully you will be able to have a righteous trail in front of YAH 'S PEOPLE! Cant believe you are being treated in this manner. Thank you for the DIRECT MESSAGE. YAH will prevail.
If you can't believe what's happening, you must not be a part of SW, and definitely don't know Dowell...
@KGB94TV Where's the unrighteousness and are we not required to follow the procedures that Yah has laid out ahead of us should he not be able to address the congregation and face his accusers should not be brought in front of everyone so they can hear and then him being judged righteously instead of one person being the judge jury and executioner let it come before the people instead of behind closed doors bring out all the information bring out the meeting in Green Bay bring out the zoom meetings and let the people decide this is not been done righteously and that's why I left not because I thought he was free of judgment it just needs to be done righteously and an order not twisting the scriptures the man that picked up sticks wasn't stone because he was presumptuous he was stoned because he was working on Sabbath come on people do you homework just like Pastor Dowell has always said read some before and read some after come on people be righteous
Thank U Elder Brent. Facts and undeniable TRUTH. A hit dog...will holler! Even if that dog still has dogs insulating him from the challenge! #wickedness
I agree . Pastor Rufus served for 13 years and was Pastor Dowell’s armour bearer. He should be judged fairly.When Aaron sinned against Moses did the Most High run him out ,only Miriam got leprosy and wasn’t she forgiven. You should not deal with a Pastor like how you deal with others. The people are hurting. This just shows that only a fool puts their trust in men.
Amen. @@geditish7318
Sorry to hear about this @elderbrent8285.Damn.Praying for you both.
Aww man, I'm from Georgia and I wanted to visit Straitway Georgia one day 😢.
Praying for you all.
Praying for the reconciliation ❤
30 days is low down of PASTOR DOWELL to give you and your family to move off the land.
Blessings to you Pastor Rufus. Wrong is wrong the empire is falling apart. This is just the beginning
He has a mean spirit and a disheartened that is what I detected from the man named d o w e l l
Not what man wants...your annointment comes from, Yah...
During any plotting and scheming, The victim will ALWAYS be the LAST to know....
