When i was married we attended a church (church of Christ)that taught they were the ONLY true church And that believers will burn in hell for all sins ...omission ,commission,weakness of the flesh and ignorance.
So if you live as best you can and have a sin of ignorance in your life you go to hell.
We left it.
One prominent leader of this group teaches mental adultery as grounds for divorce.
No wonder people are leaving the churches.

Yes there have been a few churches like you speak of BUT I think you have missed it on saying "No wonder people are leaving the churches."

People sure are not leaving churches because the church is preaching too strongly on sin.

In fact sin is hardly mentioned at all and when it is they are mostly teaching that we are all just a bunch on sinners and thankfully we are under grace and God could care less about our sins!

Pastor you are practicing cognitive dissonance.

I went to to numerous sites and they all affirm

that Christianity and religious people ARE NOT GOING TO CHURCH AS MUCH NOW AND CHRISTIANITY IS DECLINING IN THE UNITED STATES.

[branham1965]

There are churches that abuse their congregants and take advantage of them.

CHURCHES THAT ABUSE BY RON ENROTH AND MANY OTHER BOOKS ON THESE CHURCHES ARE ON AMAZON.

Hum I see you went to sites and NOT to churches...

Now Billy you know that ain't right.

Pastor i have been to numerous CHURCHES.ALL MY LIFE.
One i found i liked in 2012.My mother went with me there for a bit.But they opposed medicine,doctors and hospitals.They were Jesus Only etc.

WHEN we no matter how simple or how brilliant ...if have our mind closed to the possibility that things might be wrong in SOME of our groups.we will never see the trees through the forest.

I am no specialist in this.But i have read on it.YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING TO KNOW SOMETHING.
I watch and listen to these shows on the internet .
I see strange similarities to some of my groups in some areas.

Why don't you read Ron Enroth's books.Or Steve Hassan Combatting Cult Mind Control others on Amazon.Even you a real scholar can learn something about this if you open your own parachute.

Making judgments based on watching shows on the internet sites is like watching a video on skydiving and then saying you know how to skydive.

I read books by PHD's on these subjects!!
I think it is foolish and dangerous to only look into things that agree with us.

WOW I guess I should throw away about 150 Jehovah's Witnesses books, about 75 Mormon books, About 30 anti-charismatic books and on and on I could go....
