Gaslighting and Gossip at GDT

In this article, we examine the deep-rooted culture of gossip, often referred to as "whisper net", within the Golden Dawn Tabernacle community. While it's not uncommon for any church/ club to have its share of gossip, given society's inherent attraction to drama, it appears that within Golden Dawn Tabernacle, simple gossip quickly escalates to slander. Such exchanges often become more malicious, nasty and deliberate. We'll explore how this culture is nurtured and manipulated by Pastor Isaac Noriega and the ministry, as well as the unfortunate impact it has on the congregation individuals.

In addition to reaping the benefits we will discuss further below, Reymundo has been on the church payroll for many years, serving in multiple leadership capacities, including Church School Principal while receiving a salary.

Why We Are Exposing GDT Nepotism and Elitism

We have received a record amount of traffic and comments over the last several weeks as we have released our nepotism and elitism articles. We believe this is because these articles struck a chord with our readers, both inside and outside the walls of Golden Dawn Tabernacle.

Examining GDT Ministry Nepotism - Assistant Pastor Part 1

Pursuing our subject of nepotism and elitism in the hierarchy of Golden Dawn Tabernacle, we'll now investigate other families that reap comparable privileges as the Noriega family. Evidently, not being directly related to Pastor Isaac Noriega could curtail some advantages. Yet the extent of actions breaking the church rules that some within these families can commit is astonishing. Yet they are never called out nor are the unspoken rules enforced for these family members. This piece aims to spotlight what is arguably the second most influential family within the Golden Dawn Tabernacle congregation (currently).
