Listening to our Readers Comments and Feedback

    In our recent post, we, the team at Golden Dawn Tabernacle Research (GDTR), received an unprecedented amount of comments and feedback. A significant number of these comments were critical and targeted current church members, which subsequently raised concerns among families and friends. We hadn't previously experienced this volume of comments and were somewhat taken aback. While we took steps to moderate the content, we found ourselves facing backlash from readers concerned we were taking sides. We fully acknowledge the perspectives on all sides.

    Public Platform Opportunity for GDTR Readers

    For the first time ever, this website is serving as a public platform for both current and former GDT members to voice their opinions, seek answers to their queries, share their experiences, and/or express their frustrations. This was not something we had anticipated would happen as we have been mostly focused on the research aspect of GDT. We realize that this as an amazing opportunity of empowerment for our readers. We’ve ventured into hidden spaces that need to be explored further and there are hurt and frustrated people that need to be heard. We also recognize the frustration that current and former members have with the amount of hypocrisy and corruption many have witnessed in the church. We can expose this hypocrisy and corruption in the church while being respectful and not singling out individuals in a public manner. We certainly encourage everyone's personal experiences and testimonies in the comments.

    However, we don't want the website to become a place for character assassination of current or former church members. As many of our readers know, that is how Pastor Isaac Noriega has wielded a lot of his power over the church. We shouldn't do the same. The comment section should be a place where the readers can have a respectable conversation while expressing their opinions and having their thoughts and ideas challenged and most of all, help those struggling inside and outside of the church.

    We are here to provide a platform for the readers of this site, but we are not here to attack GDT church members and turn them against us, but rather, help them. We don’t want to perpetuate the GDT church toxic culture that is created and sustained by GDT leadership by being unnecessarily vicious against those same people we are trying to help.

    We recognize and respect the need for anonymity, given the possible severe consequences from GDT leadership for certain readers. With the goal of promoting transparency, a quality we find lacking in Pastor Isaac Noriega and GDT leadership, we are making this announcement: following extensive discussions within our GDTR team, we are officially adopting a new comment policy.

    New Comment Guidelines

    The Golden Dawn Tabernacle Research team does not bear responsibility for any content shared in the comment sections. The comments are the personal opinions of the readers. In order to foster respectful and constructive dialogue, we are instituting the following guidelines for comments:

    1. No naming of past or present congregants, unless they are a subject clearly identified and named in an article, or part of current or former GDT leadership. If any names are mentioned that violate this guideline, they will be promptly redacted.
    2. No threats or defamation (false accusations/statements). Any comments that contain rumors will remain, but we reserve the right to label such comments as unconfirmed. We highly discourage these comments from naming and singling out any individuals by name.
    3. Please be respectful. Use of profanity, obscenity and derogatory comments are not allowed.
    4. We especially ask that you be respectful and supportive of the individuals who have decided to comment publicly. Everyone has the option to comment anonymously, so we applaud and encourage those who are willing come forward and publicly share their views.
    5. Do not post information that will compromise public safety, endorses illegal behavior or that promotes discrimination.
    6. Commerce solicitations (ads), prompts or redirecting via the comments to platforms/accounts not listed on this site are not allowed, unless you are sharing your own personal contact information as a resource to help others. Additionally, you can share your contact information using our Contact Us page.
    7. Please note that comments posted on this site do not reflect the views or endorsement of the GDTR team.
    8. We reserve the right to modify this policy as necessary in the future.

    Conclusion

    We are confident that these guidelines will foster a respectful and enlightening atmosphere for all our readers. We acknowledge that not everyone, including some members of our team, may completely agree with these changes. However, by establishing these rules, we aim to ensure transparency while also fostering respectful, open and healthy discussions that hopefully lead to healing and closure. We also hope these discussions will encourage others to come forward and share their experiences and lead to a pathway of escape for those that need it. Over the coming days, we will be editing previous comments in accordance with this new policy. This policy will be our standard practice moving forward. Given the intriguing articles we have planned for the future, we anticipate a lot of engaging discussions, so stay tuned.

    Should you have any inquiries, feedback, or confidential information you'd like to share with us, please reach out to us through our Contact Us page. You can contact us anonymously or provide your contact information if you would like for us to contact you.

      For sure the wanna-be lawyer/nun went crying and complaining that the truth was being exposed. I undertsand about not saying any names or cussing but that shouldn’t stop anyone from telling the truth no matter how upset people get! If they get upset they’re just like Isaac, meaning they DO have something to hide! Some of these comments haven’t been gossip and have been proved by three or more people. Thank you gdt research team for all your hard work and effort! Don’t worry about making people upset cause the people getting upset are the ones who have something to hide! They’re not used to the truth finally being said since they’re entire lives they have lived double life and got so used to being hypocrites!

      Yes Yes and Yes good points mr/mrs anonymous. You are much appreciated for disclosing what has now been proven to be true. Your exposure of a “church member” rather than Isaac/Rey or (Matthew aka Prince Harry) was a bit of anomaly. It showed us that the Isaac’s style of Control Conquer Victimize and in the end Deny/Deflect is rampant because he fosters this type of pyramid structure in his compound So everyone needs to realize this was not an attack on the tithe paying members which we are trying to give a voice to. It was done to expose how Isaac plays/controls families like a card game some of us are kings and queens while the majority of us are jokers. So all disclosure is MUCH appreciated the issue is going to be delivering the truth in a fashion that the allows people to see this is all the fall-out from the top. Isaac fosters and encourages this kind of environment. Control Conquer Victimize and in the end Deny/Deflect REPEAT

      La verdad no peca, pero si incomoda.

      I am trying to obtain information on the tragic death of Margie Telles. The account on Facebook cannot possibly be true. It sounds like the foulest anti-LDS propaganda, the sort of lies Chick Comics used to publish. I didn’t believe such fibs as a child and I won’t believe it now, not without hard evidence. I have several LDS friends and a few relatives and they are all good Christians.
