A letter to you...

A Message To Ravers

Dear Raver,

First things first...WE LOVE YOU! You have either met us at a rave, or found us online. Either way, we love you, we are glad you are here,  and sincerely wish you the best life has to offer! So you know, this website was not designed for you. This site was created so that Christians could learn about what we do, and why we do it. Did you know that sometimes Christians are judgmental and mean? LOL, right? I'll bet  you have noticed some of us "Christians" are hypocrites too! Well...if you think that, you are right...guilty as charged. We are not perfect, but we would like to be. We get up everyday to try again. Jesus died for us, and in gratitude, we at Plurway really do try our best. One good thing is that today, I am much less of a hypocrite than I used to be. I guess we are all on a spiritual journey. This website, we hope, will encourage other Christians in their spiritual journey to be less hypocritical and judgmental as well.

I said all of that, above, because we meet young people all the time that have been hurt by people in the church. If that is you, I am so sorry. I can't fix that, and won't excuse that, BUT let me ask you this...how long does it take to make kandi? How much does each one cost? We take thousands and thousands of kandi to raves each month, and each one made and paid for by someone that professes to be a Christian, and that has prayed for whoever gets that kandi...one at a time. We took over 20,000 to a single event once. That's a LOT of love.  When we say we love you, we really mean it...even if we have never met you.

Often times the raver that finds this website does not like us! So just in case you don't like us, let me take a moment to assure you we are not out to shut down raves.  We do not attend anti-rave community meetings or anything like that. Promoters provide security and work with law enforcement, local government, and medical agencies and we respect that. We understand that you may have a totally different take on what happens at raves (after all, we are going there LOOKING for the trouble and the danger so that we can help those in need...we aren't going there to party). We are not old people that hate your music. (But we are old people, LOL) We also know that most ravers just want to have a good time...who doesn't? I mean, I like to have a good time too! So therefore we totally respect your opinions, even if you disagree with us! We believe you have as much right to your opinions and beliefs as we do ours. We do not judge you, condemn you, or want to force you to live your lives our way. You are free to live your life as you choose, fair enough?  We would appreciate the same in return. In other words, we work hard at showing you PLUR…would you please treat us with PLUR as well?

If you do not like Religion, Christianity, Jesus, or the Bible that’s your choice, but I would like to explain a couple of things – so you at least understand where we (at Plurway) are coming from.

First, we don’t like religion either; and anymore, we don’t much care for what a lot of people associate with Christianity. Both tend to be full of rules, and many times are very judgmental. Personally, I like the term “Follower of Jesus” much better. And so you know, the Bible is clear that “Followers of Jesus” are not supposed to judge anyone outside of our faith, but we are to love them. So when our moms go to raves, they give out kandi (so you can hear our message on your own time, and not listen to any more than you decide to) and also to take care of (love) the ravers that overdose, can’t find their cars, get hurt, are cold and need a blanket, or are hungry or thirsty. Everything we give away: kandi, food, water, books, Bibles, blankets, or jackets, are always free. Spending time talking about Jesus would be up to you; we never push the issue! Also, like I said before, the kandi we gave you, we made ourselves! And we prayed for you as we made it! Every single kandi we give away is sincerely made with love.

There is a little more you need to know. If the Bible turns out to be true, then Jesus is the only way for you to get into Heaven. If you don’t know him, again, if the Bible turns out to be true, you will spend eternity in Hell. (and that would be very bad) Since neither you nor I can absolutely prove or absolutely disprove whether or not the Bible is true or false, there is a problem. Neither of us will know for sure until it is too late to change our minds (death). We believe that the Bible is absolutely true, so if we say nothing, and it turns out to indeed be true, then we have failed the ultimate test of PLUR. Does that at least make sense to you? I hope so. The kindest, most complete way to share this message with you, we believe, is through the website on the kandi.

One last thing…yes, Jesus is exclusive - in that he is the only way into Heaven. HOWEVER he is inclusive in that everyone that comes to him and believes in him is welcome, everyone is accepted, and loved. And everyone who asks him to save them and forgive them of their sins will join him in Heaven someday...for eternity.

So now you know...we hope Heaven is really crowded with people who happen to love EDM!

Loving Jesus, and loving you,
Pastor Rob
