### 1/5 — Disgusting behavior for Christians

*2024-12-03, version 8.4*

I have seen red flags popping up with Daystar for years but the Lambs and their cohorts have been gaslighting their followers to look the other way and quench the spirit of discernment. This latest development is the last straw. SA abuse of a minor covered up, gaslighting, claims to be THE VOICE of God. I will be deleting the app abs boycotting every ministry that is platformed on Daystar.
