Many describe themselves as Christians today, yet are careless, lackadaisical, and carry on with a minimum of effort or reflection in their attitude toward God, as it concerns who they are and how they are to walk in Him. It seems that the Christian life has become more about what one “deserves” or is “entitled” to, than about what they can GIVE or how they can GROW and LEAD in TRUTH.
Some people are driven by what they can get out of something or someone. These are the PREDATORS and many sincere church-goers become their PREY. These sincere people succumb to their predator and have become passive and have not exercised their will freely. Consequently, they have unknowingly been spiritually and emotionally manipulated by those in power.
People, there is a serious SPIRITUAL WAR going on out there, and it is not just in the world; it is within the walls of the church building. It is disgusting to GOD and no man-made church organization is immune to this WICKEDNESS.
You may not understand it all, but if you sense in the slightest that something is “WRONG”, and if you believe you are one of HIS, then you need to HEED that warning.
It is imperative that you understand what is going on in the end-time spiritual war that is against you, so I encourage you to get a copy of “The Church of the End-time Zombies”
One of the reasons that makes witnessing to churchgoers both difficult and unpleasant is because they have not yet heard from the Lord in a revelatory way. Most of religious believe that if your argument is not bible based, then it is not worth listening to. So, a way to get through to them is using the scriptures in red. In other words, “What did the Lord Jesus say?” Use the Lord’s own words to reveal the truth to them.
The Lord Jesus presented a group of kingdom of heaven parables, most of which He did not explain, but he left some clues. One of the clues as depicted in Matthew 13, is the birds. Therefore, when you’re keeping things very general, your focus should be to rely on what the Lord said, what the Lord shared. And you ask your religious churchgoer,” what do they think that parable means?”
Listen to what they say. You also can ask questions. First of all Ask them, “what do the birds represent?” They won’t know. So remaining focused and patient, you highlight the verse which most people know by taking him or her to the parable of the mustard seed, that grew into a large tree. Jesus interpreted the birds in the parable of the sower where He states that the birds who ate the wayside seeds were “the wicked ones” or evil spirits.
So if the birds mean one thing in that parable, they have the same meaning when used by Jesus in yet another parable.
The trunk of that tree is the Catholic church, and the branches of that tree that come out of that trunk are the plethora of Protestant denominations and non-denominations. They are the branches of that tree. there should be no argument that the tree is the system of the Institutional Church. in this context you can also clarify that the Body of Christ is not the Institutional Church where believers gather together for Sunday morning worship. So it will be relatively easy to distinguish the difference between the body of Christ and the Institutional Church. you should be able to get agreement the body of Christ consists of every born again person who ever lived, who’s living now, and who ever will live. Clearly, the body of Christ and the institution of church and religion are not the same.
Back in 1979, pictures were taken in the church that I attended. On the pictures of the pastor, you could see demons in him and on him. HE LOOKED LIKE THE TRUNK OF A TREE AND THE THREE DEMONS IN AND ON HIM HUNG FROM THE TREE LIKE BRANCHES. FROM THOSE BRANCHES, THERE WERE IMPISH FACES Hanging FROM THE BRANCHES LIKE FRUIT!!! In 1979, I did not understand how this photo was symbolic of a demonic takeover of the institutional church but today, I do. According to the Lord’s parable, “the birds” or evil spirits are permeated throughout the institution or system that we call “church.”
In a nutshell, the prophetic warning expressed by the Apostle Paul to Timothy amplifies the Lord’s parable:
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,
1 Timothy 4:1-2 –
The deceiving or seducing spirits in Paul’s prophecy are the birds in the Lord’s parable.
This article will be continued in part 2. Suffice it to say in my conclusion is that It is very dangerous for churchfolk to be listening to and feeding upon doctrines of devils uttered from worldwide pulpits, as well as TV, radio and the Internet. One of those dangers is idolatry which occurs during worship when the 10 commandments are broken. For WHEN MEMBERS GO TO THE ALTAR FOR PRAYER, THEY ARE PRAYING TO THE FAKE JESUS. Idolatry produces the plagues. The following is a long scripture but the first few verses tell the tale:
“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. “Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out. “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess.

What boggles my mind is the notion that NO ONE HAS GOTTEN SAVED IN OR BY THE institutional church in at least 50 years because the Holy Spirit has not been there. Now church folk have been born again at home, ON airplanes, AT THE park, AT A FRIEND OR RELATIVES HOUSE, at the gym, BUT NOT seated on a church pew.
IT IS HARD TO FATHOM. Consider the SERMONS IN ALL THE CHURCHES GOING FORTH 52 Sunday’s, and studies on Weds, choir rehearsals, prayer meeting, AND NOT ONE BORN AGAIN!!!! In at least 50 or maybe more years. all the conventions, the TV watching of church services, AND NOT ONE BORN AGAIN!!!!
Formerly a pastor and an evangelist in the institutional church for 25 years, I cannot point to even one church member out of hundreds I have known and declare with strong conviction THAT I KNOW “so and so” GOT BORN AGAIN IN CHURCH!!!!!!
It is scary. Almost as scary as death itself can be.
Churches were made to birth new BORN AGAIN SPIRITS. BUT AS THE HARLOT, SHE HAS DELIVERED NO NEW BIRTHS IN 50 years, perhaps a century.
What I share with you is not church bashing. I don’t bash the IC because no one can pinpoint the human culprit, PRIMARILY BECAUSE the IC has been seized by cohorts of fallen angels and other seducing spirits. Corruption has been spreading for decades, perhaps centuries.
I watched the Academy Award movie, Spotlight. It was reported that the priests had been molesting kids in Boston for decades and more. The Boston Globe tried to focus on the Cardinal who covered up for all the priests under his charge. Yet when it all came out, the Pope promoted the Cardinal to a position in ROME!!!! This kind of cover-up is endemic not only to Catholics but to the entire institutional church.
SO WHO CAN YOU BLAME in SUCH A HOT MESS?
It makes me wonder if at the present moment, there are 144,000 believers alive on earth in totality. AND HOW MANY OF them ARE IN CHURCH? There may be a few left among the elect of God still committed to the Harlot. Nevertheless, I venture to estimate that the IC has very few born again members within Her.

We all have come in contact with a ministry that we later on deemed as ‘ineffective.’ For those who still attend church…It may have been a church you visited once or a few times. Or a church where you had ‘membership. You may have encountered ineffective ministry at a conference you paid big bucks to attend. You walked away confused and disappointed.
Wherever we were, whenever we came across ‘ineffective’ ministry, we walked away from it feeling worse than what we had when we walked TO it!
A sure-fire way of discerning if you have come in contact with ineffective ministry…i.e. a false prophet, or apostle, is THIS.
WATCH CAREFULLY WHAT THAT CHURCH OR MINISTRY FOCUSES ON THE MOST.
For example, deliverance ministries are on the rise. There are ministries that focus only on prosperity. Some only on healing. Some boast of being strictly a ‘word’ church, or ‘teaching’ church. Most teach about prospering financially and materially.
When you come across ministries that are not focusing on all aspects of the cross: repentance, godly sorrow, the resurrection, false vs true conversions, I can almost GUARANTEE that they are fake. Perhaps not purposefully in error but fake and corrupt nonetheless.
You see, the reason is because the enemy does NOT need to be 100% false to be false. You can have someone with 96% truth and 4% error. They can operate in all kinds of sensational, flesh-pleasing events. They draw crowds and the folk stand in awe.
It is important to point out that a minister needs not know “everything” to be a true man or woman of God. The key is that what he does know and teach is 100% correct.
Truly, the question is not how sensational or flesh-pleasing the minister’s talents are. The proof isn’t in how many attend a ministry. The proof isn’t even in how well the leaders perform from the pulpit, nor who endorses them.
The question at the end of the day is ARE PEOPLE GETTING SAVED…AND DELIVERED? AND HEALED? AND PROSPERING IN SPIRIT AND SOUL, NOT JUST THEIR BODIES! ARE THEY BEING PRE
When you come across a ministry that pushes or markets one gift, one teaching, one aspect of truth, more than the nuts and bolts of salvation, knowing God, the enemy and how to grow spiritually in Christ, you have experienced a fallen church.
Do know that there IS a danger in being a part of an ineffective ministry, or one that only deals with one aspect of truth?
How do you EVER expect to be made WHOLE if you keep dealing with FRAGMENTED churches?

We all have been lulled into a semi or fully delusional state where we are drugged into believing something we know deep down inside ‘just isn’t right.’ We just went to church and went along with the programs to get along. We didn’t want to rock the boat, so to speak, out of fear that we would be labeled ‘rebellious,’ ‘unfaithful,’ ‘unteachable,’ or a host of other names leadership likes to place on thinking people who were blessed with common sense AND wisdom to know game when they see it.
When I was a faithful pastor in the IC, I had several memorable dreams that showed me the spiritual condition of the entire IC but I misinterpreted them. I thought the dreams were pertaining to the actual church I saw, when a particular church was only intended to be representative. A symbol OF THEM ALL.
in these dreams, the pulpit and altar area were defiled with menstrual blood, feces and urine. I would also dream about toilets overflowing in the sanctuary. I did not understand those dreams until after I left the IC.
I now know that the defilement represented the plagues. For in the natural, plagues have broken out because of infectious, unclean conditions like rats and such. The unclean natural condition of a house will cause it to be condemned, boarded up. A haunted house is filled with the demons that once inhabited the dead who lived in that house. When the inhabits died, the demons came out and did not have anywhere else to go and reside unless new people rented or bought the house.
I call the IC a haunted house because it is filled with evil spirits who have taken Her over, because of the plagues. These are the seducing spirits that the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about. They are fallen angels that specialize in teaching religion. Jesus called the religious folk of his day, white washed tombs on the outside, contaminated with dead men’s bones on the inside. This is the institutional church today. It is a huge whitewashed tomb. A haunted house.
Don’t let the white washed physicality, Her stained glass beauty fool you. The spirit realm is invisible to our eyes but it still exists. In the spirit realm, every pulpit is covered in unclean blood, urine and feces, no matter how sincere the pastor or how helpful and kind are Her members.
In the last few years, I have not focused on warning people to “come out of Her.” It could be that since I have not been actively IN Her since 2004, for me its kind of “out of sight, out of mind.” However, I had some dreams this morning that brought my task back into focus.
In the first dream, I received the result of two curses that I wont go into here. I will simply say that one involved the destruction of property and the other dealt with both a ministerial and a health issue combined in a curse. In the next dream, I found myself in a church. As I am dreaming, I think “I am not supposed to be in here.” Anyway, the grand, important purpose I had before I came to this church left my memory and I was given the assignment to do the congregational prayer.
I started to pray but there was a group of women working on a project who were laughing and talking loud, distracting me from my prayer. So I stop praying and I ask them to choose between their project and my prayer. They were nasty and rude and with venom, chose their project. As I was leaving, they stood in the doorway of the church. As they reminded me of the curses of the previous dream, they boastfully took ownership and responsibility for those curses. They sneered and jeered at me and I woke up.
I was overjoyed to awake because it felt like I was in a haunted house, for real!!!
Curses are specific to an individual but plagues don’t discriminate. A plague takes down both the innocent and the guilty together, insidiously, progressively and consistently. The Lord warned that if you stay, you are a partaker of Her sins and that you will receive of Her plagues. (Rev 18:4)
If you are interested in our online church called RESCUE FELLOWSHIP, fill out the contact form below and tells about yourself and your experience with the institutional church.
The truth to be emphasized is that God never “wills” instead of man, and whatever a man does, he is himself responsible for his actions. Religious demons major goal is to manipulate the will of a sincere and unsuspecting believer into a state of passivity in order to control us.
The believer whose “will” has become passive, finds, after a time, the greatest difficulty in making decisions of any kind, and he looks outside, and all around him for something to help him to decide the smallest matters. When he has become conscious of his passive condition, he has a painful sense of being unable to meet some of the situations of ordinary life. If spoken to, he knows he cannot will to listen till a sentence is completed; if asked to judge a matter, he knows he cannot do it; if he is required to “remember” or use his imagination, he knows he is unable to, and becomes terrified at any proposed course of action where these demands may come upon him. The tactics of the enemy now may be to drive him into situations where these demands may be made, and thus torture or embarrass him before others.
Little does the believer know that in this condition he may, unknowingly, rely upon the assistance of evil spirits, who have brought about the passivity for this very object. The faculty unused lies dormant and dead in their grip, but if used it is an occasion for them to manifest themselves through it. They are too ready to “will” instead of the man, and they will put within his reach many “supernatural” props to help him in “decision,” especially in the way of “texts” used apart from their context, and supernaturally given, which the believer, seeking so longingly to do the will of God, seizes upon, and firmly grasps as a drowning man a rope, blinded, by the apparently given Divine help, to the principle that God only works through the active volition of a man, and not for him in matters requiring his action.

How many of you have said “I surrender all in the IC and would not act unless you got some kind of sign? How many of you know that the IC is corrupt and infiltrated by fallen angels and demons yet you are waiting on God to give you a special sign before you make a move to leave?
To learn more about the passivity of the will, you would benefit from “The Church of the End-time Zombies: A Guide to Religious Detox.”
Recently I received an email where I was asked the following questions:
So in your teaching, you concentrate a lot on the organized church and the false teachings that are in there. Which is of course the right thing to expose, and I am fully behind you on that.
However, what happens to the people who leave the IC? Some of the ones that are more fortunate come across your site and can read about things, and perhaps enter into Rescue. All very good stuff which I fully support.
However this leaves three sets of people a) those who want nothing to do with the church and God b) those who still want a relationship but outside of IC and c) those who go totally over into areas where the IC never could or should go. It is this group that I have a question as this is very close to home for me.
These are the people who get involved for example in areas of New Age or get sucked into alterative deliverance ministries. I was just wondering Pam in your experience have you come across people who leave the IC because they do not feel there is enough of the spiritual aspect and then they end up seeing a spiritual reason for everything going wrong e.g. generational curse, freemasonry, curses, witchcraft?
With these questions, I perceive that the person is suggesting to me in a polite, complementary way, that what I do is of no consequence, when you consider the large numbers of people who need help.
AND I AGREE!!!
The condition of the institutional church and its members is a difficult thing to swallow for those who identify with the scripture that is wrongly interpreted to suggest that all will be saved, or at least a vast majority. Instead, I personally focus on the words of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth where He warned that the way to salvation is narrow and few there be who will find it. The Lord also implied that there would be very few of His own that He will find when He returns to earth.
There is also an implication in the questions that I am doing a nice little thing here with RESCUEONLINE CHURCH but it’s only a drop in the bucket. The difference between me and the person posing the question is that I see the bucket as small when the other person sees it as large. Also, the one posing the question has not taken into account that one of the reasons for many leaving is that the church system has already become deeply involved in New Age, in alternative deliverance ministries and all kinds of questionable Asian and occult practices.
I admit that I had similar questions about five years ago, where I felt like I was a tiny cog in a huge wheel. Then I came to the revelation that THIS IS GOD’S BUSINESS and NOT MINE. I just do what He gives me to do, with a few or with “more than a few.” If I focus on the untold millions of both churchgoers and non-churchgoers who are deceived, I would get discouraged, then stagnant, and consequently, unproductive. So I work with who and what I have at hand.
I did not contend with the one who questioned me by email but the truth is that I am consistently evolving. As such, I no longer focus on either the organized church or its false doctrines and practices. My message on leave the church is extremely simple and targeted. Its targeted to those who have already heard from the Lord regarding the institutional church and who have been questioning Her for some time.
The simplicity of my message is this:
The Holy Spirit is not in the institutional church. He may be in a few of the people but He is not in the system or in the buildings. I suspect He never was but I don’t know for sure. All I know is that He is not there. How do I know? Well He told me so. I do not try to compel anyone to believe me. I simply say, “In your praying, ask God if I am correct.” Simple.
the Lord told us in the book of Revelation that back 2000 years ago, Satan has a seat. Today, the devil is fully in charge by steadily accruing the world wide empowerment of his fallen angels assigned to each and every pulpit. When I was a pastor in the IC, a fallen angel was assigned to the church I pastored also, while in that system. I closed it after 12 years that I established it within the IC. Simple.
The Lord Himself spoke to His people through the Apostle John and stated to the last days church, “Come out of Her My People, lest ye be partakers of Her sin and receive Her plagues.” Simple.
These 3 reasons alone are enough to warn people to leave the church. If I am wrong, any local church will welcome you back.
If your spirit bares witness because God has already been talking to you. then RESCUE may be for you. We offer a 30 day trial, so you can check us out, no harm, no foul to either you or to us. If interested, visit www.aboutrescue.com the link to the trial is on the home page.

Here is an interesting quote from a blog called Detox From Church For Real, as it pertains to those who have left the
institution called “church.”
“If you’re not careful, keep harping on what’s wrong with church can become YOUR religion. An obsession. An addiction as real as that to crack cocaine…Keeping your spirit’clean’ also means turning away from that which poisons you, that takes you back to that place of being wounded by churchianity. I don’t see recovering drug addicts going back to the crack houses…trying to ‘save’ those who are caught up in the drug scene. SO what’s with religious folks trying to ‘save’ the lost and misguided, the bamboozled, the deceived in church?vThat’s NOT your job anyways…THAT IS THE JOB OF THE HOLY GHOST.” (Wenona Russ)
In ministry while in a denomination for 25 years, I was once one of the wounded, so I personally know the truth of this quote. When the Bishop manipulated the leadership council to remove my name from the membership rolls back in 2004, even though I had been shown by God what would happen nine months before the deed was done, I was still both hurt, bitter and angry. The truth is that when you focus on individuals and not the religiously political system that my enemies represented, bitterness and even outrage will naturally surface. I took out my rage on them in a book, where I changed names but I identified the denomination. I re-wrote the book a few years later, with a new title “Come Out of Her God’s People,” and without identifying the specific church. BT,.I no longer market the original. You see, once a critic stated that I sounded “bitter,” I realized that my literary articulation was being negatively affected by the outrage that I thought I had successfully suppressed.
The truth is that I had allowed “looking back” at their scandals to tarnish my own soul. I have purposed in my heart to refuse to allow any person, place, thing or entity to shape, or even slightly influence the essence of who I am according to who God created me to be. .
Once the Lord revealed to me the deep truth as to why I was rejected by church leaders, I never again looked back at them or their SCANDALS.
You see, there was and I expect continues to be much SCANDAL in this particular sect—so much so that I am reminded of the TV series that bears the same name.
SCANDAL
In this regard, as a former pastor among them, I once knew of loads of COVERED UP denominational scandals among the religious white- washed tombs of the persevering hypocrites. So watching the politicians cover-up of scandals on the TV series reminded me of the games religious folk play.
At first, like everyone else, you look at the individual characters to make an assessment as to who is to blame, who is at fault. With the TV series, you wonder if it is the President or his monstrous Chief of Staff! Or is it his power-hungry First Lady, or perhaps the head of the secret agency called B613? In my “church situation,” , I first looked at the people involved in trying to bring me down in the church. There were three of them.
On the TV series, when you begin to watch each character lie, plot, scheme, manipulate, and even murder, I noticed that at the heart of their behavior is their yet naive attempt to be the good guys, wearing the white hat. The characters are able to live with their mess because they can still rationalize that they did their best to protect the republic. So with all of their political tactics, you have to ask yourself “well! who is the republic?”
And this is the institutional church. . Both politics and religion use the same tactics. Religious folk” kill off” other churchfolk because they believe they are protecting their territory within the IC. Therefore, it is understandable that both politics and religion have their part to play as Mystery Babylon.
Consider the IC.
By any means necessary, whether a famous mega preacher or the choir director or trustee of a 50 member church, the goal is the same. To protect the IC, which like the republic is a non-human entity. A system. A religious system.
The reality is that the problems and SCANDALS of the IC have been built into Her system for the last 17 centuries. so there is no one in the IC today who is really the originator of any of her present circumstances.
Olivia Pope had an interesting revelation about the republic. As the re-election campaign manager for the sitting President, she came to realize that it really did not matter who wins. All three candidates committed murder. The democrat committed a premeditated murder of his wife’s lover, the independent killed her closet gay husband in a fit of rage and covered it up, and the incumbent President killed a dying woman who was about to release a damnable secret to the press!
In other words, ALL THREE CANDIDATES ARE MURDERERS!!!!!
Upon this realization, Olivia got yet another revelation. Working for the republic at any cost changes who you are because through passivity, you lose yourself. Engulfed in darkness, you can no longer stand in the sun.
Herein lies what happens in the IC. Each individual loses him or herself trying to sustain Her. When a member or a pastor become a target of destruction in the denomination I was ordained in, the expression was “the Bishop or the Council killed him or killed her. When a church scandal has been covered up, the devil comes in and takes over.
That is why, rather than spend my energy bashing Her, I focus on restoring individuals who desire freedom from Her. Seeking freedom? Check out RESCUE at www.aboutrescue.com or call 518-477-5759
What are some other reasons why it is fruitless to continue to look back at HER to expose, criticize or blame?
Well, If she were alive, I know of someone who can answer the question by her own personal experience. God warned those He led out of two decadent cities not to look back at what He was destroying. For to look back is a sign that you want to GO back.
Here is an excerpt from Pam’s book “The New Idolatry”
“Without a worshiper’s understanding of the cross and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the true father God allows Satan to receive prayers made in Jesus’ name. Consequently, prayer and worship has been imperceptibly commandeered by the fake fallen angel, who calls himself, “Jesus.” A devilish religious invasion into the doctrines and practices of the organized church is the worst form of the new idolatry, with spiritually blind, yet faithful Christian churchgoers in communion with a table of devils. More on this crucial subject in Chapter 9.”
Many describe themselves as Christians today, yet are careless, lackadaisical, and carry on with a minimum of effort or reflection in their attitude toward God, as it concerns who they are and how they are to walk in Him. It seems that the Christian life has become more about what one “deserves” or is “entitled” to, than about what they can GIVE or how they can GROW and LEAD in TRUTH.
Some people are driven by what they can get out of something or someone. These are the PREDATORS and many sincere church-goers become their PREY. These sincere people succumb to their predator and have become passive and have not exercised their will freely. Consequently, they have unknowingly been spiritually and emotionally manipulated by those in power.
People, there is a serious SPIRITUAL WAR going on out there, and it is not just in the world; it is within the walls of the church building. It is disgusting to GOD and no man-made church organization is immune to this WICKEDNESS.
You may not understand it all, but if you sense in the slightest that something is “WRONG”, and if you believe you are one of HIS, then you need to HEED that warning.
It is imperative that you understand what is going on in the end-time spiritual war that is against you, so I encourage you to get a copy of “The Church of the End-time Zombies”
“Paul’s thorn was a fallen angel and not a sickness or infirmity as some in the IC teaches. That is an expression similar to a pain in the ass.
The “thorn” was a fallen angel that caused Paul to be shipwrecked, bitten by a snake, imprisoned, stoned and left for dead, in peril from folk, etc. All in an effort to hinder Paul’s ministry. yet, because of God”s grace, Paul’s ministry has continued for 21 centuries because God”s grace was sufficient. The words reflects that God allowed the demon to continue because He did not want Paul to get puffed up concerning the supernatural power he walked in.
I have a fallen angel assigned to me. His image came out on a photo taken of me on 10/25/81. It was the day I preached my trial sermon and entered ministry.
Does every Christian have a fallen angel assigned to him or her? I don’t know. I suspect that assignments are based upon how dangerous one is to the enemy”s kingdom.
When you consider what I am really called to do, you will understand why Satan assigned one to me.
any questions?”

According to the institutional church, particularly Charismatics, Baptists, and other denominations where sin is prevalent among the membership, these folk have an explanation. The explanation is that carnal Christians are saved. They love the Lord but since they are carnal, or worldly, they are justified but not sanctified. they have accepted Jesus as Savior but have not submitted themselves to Him as Lord.
This perspective also contends that carnal Christians can remain so for the rest of their lives. Even though throughout a lifetime of faithful church attendance and service, it is believed that carnal Christians will certainly get into heaven but so as by fire, or by the skin of their teeth.
I have excellent recall of the choir in the church where I began as a member in 1979. These folk were faithful, always in church. some of them were heavy tithers. I recall that they were also the most demonstrative worshipers, shouting, crying, falling slain, testifying of the Lord’s goodness, leaping up in the Holy Dance, etc.
Yet, the elders habitually sinned, particularly fornication. Their daughters were constantly getting pregnant, proudly wearing their choir robes with their bellies sticking out for all to see, with no husbands in sight. The choir pianist was a gay drug user, beloved of the entire church. He died in his 40’s, never having changed his lifestyle.
Regularly, unwed mothers held baby showers in the church, like there was nothing wrong with this sort of behavior. I understand that nothing has changed among them.—in fact a tolerance of sin has so increased, that it goes more unnoticed today than it did 40 years ago. simply put, no change in character or in their values.
The explanation is that they love The Lord but that they are simply carnal Christians.
In our private blog, RESCUE members had some interesting things to say about this subject:
Member #1:
I have been around these type of people the majority of my life. Growing up, I was raised in a Baptist church, where basically people just do certain things to claim they are sorry for their sin and want to be saved. Then, after they are so called, “saved,” they try to justify their sin by using works of the flesh to try to keep from sinning. But they can’t do it, so they make excuses for their sin, and say, “Well, since I am saved, I am under grace, so God will forgive me as a “christian,” for doing this sinful thing. Then, they live their lives as if they are in so many trials and tribulations, and God is supposed to do everything for them. Not once do they even consider that God is not sitting at the throne waiting to give them their every need and desire because their motivation for trying to change is “getting into heaven.” These people live their lives one way in front of certain people, and behind closed doors live another way. They are the worst sinners I know! lol I used to always wonder why people were saying they were christians, but their lives did not reflect a love for living a holy life. Honestly, I used to laugh at them, because I knew it was fake. How can you claim to love God in one breath, and act like the devil in another? Yet, the minute somebody calls you on it, you say, “God knows my heart.” PULEEEZZE!!! Yeah, he knows your heart alright! He knows that it is wicked! They came up for every excuse in the book. These type of people would always focus everything on the Prodigal Son parable, implying that you can leave God and then come back to him and still be saved. Hmmm…..

Yes, I was one of those carnal Christians, but realized that this is wrong. Almost everyone I know is either a carnal Christian or they claim that their sins are not serious ones. So, I’ve seen either total acceptance of sin, or the condemnation and hyper critical judging of it. The greed, the politics, the discrimination, and the exclusion of others due to the fact that these others sin differently, is hypocrisy. I knew I wasn’t right, and found out why, but who knows how many are out there that do not know, and will never know the Truth. I am just glad that God has been showing me the Truth, and pulled me out of that nonsense. Now, I know I am not born again. With that knowledge it explains why I’ve not been able to overcome the flesh or sin on my own. It is impossible to do. When I am born again, I know the slate will be wiped clean and I will have the Holy Spirit to help me overcome the flesh and sin.
Member #3
I was carnal and did my best to hide it behind a religious mask in fear of judgement. I always felt very guilty inside and wondered why I could never break free. I would see others who didn’t exactly drink or smoke or engage in sexual sin but they instead were controlling and abusive to a very sinful degree which was quite acceptable. It was my constant carnality that finally helped me realize I wasn’t saved. My carnality was drinking, smoking and depression. Had my carnality been religiosity or jezebelliousness (lol) I would still be in her! No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t keep up with them. I relapsed into drinking after close to 4 years again to ease the pressure of a very controlling Holiness church…I can trace a lot of problems occurring after going to that church including a botched suicide attempt. This is where I seen the image of sananda etched on a pew. I had seen an image of him before even reading Pams book. That’s why immediately I knew Pam was speaking the truth and was like this huge revelation. I didn’t want to accept that I was not immediately unsaved, but the truth and proof was there,,,,,,there are no carnal Christians those who are truly born again. I am sure sin will come for those born again but to be in that same sin for 6 years straight is a strong clue of a false conversion.

We are about half way through Black History Month. We have celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday (most of us). And in light of that, I want to ask you all-blacks and whites alike-a question.
ARE YOU REALLY FREE?
No, not from racism. Anyone with two eyes and two ears can honestly see that we still have a long way to go before racism is totally eradicated in this country.
No, what I want to know is are you free….FROM RELIGION????
During slavery, the slaves had a very poor diet. According to several writings from actual slaves, a slaves’ diet included molasses, chitlins, hamhocks, corn meal, Indian corn, black-eyed peas, very little vegetables or fish, and some birds. Whatever their masters in the plantation did not want or threw away, THAT is what the slaves consumed…them and their children.
I got this analogy of the church being likened to a plantation during slavery from my friends over at the Church Folk Revolution (thanks, btw!).
As I sat and pondered on this for a while, the similarities between the institutionalized church and the plantations where slaves were oppressed became more obvious to me.
Just like the slaves on those plantations starved and were overworked, oppressed, and poorly fed, so are congregants who go to these churches (sad to say, mostly the congregants who go to predominantly black congregations) not being properly nourished. They are fed spiritual chitlins and hog, hammocks and throwaway scraps.
A bunch of recycled messages/scraps from the tables of famous preachers. Recycled over and over again. That’s how religious clichés and old prophecies such as ‘this is your season’ or ‘we are in a shift’ become so popular….they are nothing more than spiritual chitlins. (Now, I know there are some of you that love chitlins…but the fact is that chitlins is nothing more than hog guts. Its waste. Its disgusting and have absolutely NO nutritional value.)
Well, just like chitlins in the natural are stink, have no nutritional value…even though they are quite fulfilling and satisfying.
So are MOST of the teachings that go forth in the institutionalized church are nothing more than spiritual chitlins. They STINK in the nostrils of GOD, they yield NO spiritual or eternal value…even though they do serve to appease the hearers…albeit temporarily.
Being from New Orleans, I have family and friends that LOVE chitlins. So I can hear some of your responses to this post…”There’s nothing wrong with eating chitlins! They are GOOD!”
Well, according to the NY Health Department, eating chitlins (which are nothing more than a pig’s small intestines!) can present dangers to one’s health. There is a risk of contracting E. Coli, Salmonella, and what’s known as yersinia, a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea, fever, and severe abdominal cramps that feel like appendicitis.
Not to mention what the long-term effects are of such a diet. Chitlins are high in cholesterol, which can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease.
Just imagine: slaves had no choice but to eat chitlins as long as they remained on the plantation, as long as they were slaves to ‘massa.’ They ate chitlins because that’s all they had to survive. It was either eat chitlins or starve…
But people who are ‘slaves’ to the institutionalized church system-religious plantations, I call them-THEY have a CHOICE!
Your pastor/massa is serving you SPIRITUAL CHITLINS every week…and because it’s traditional, and it tastes good to you, you don’t see anything wrong with it!
Oh sure. There is a stench in the air…some have gotten used to it, it’s been there so long. Just like when you’re in the kitchen, preparing those vittles…after awhile, you don’t even smell the funk anymore…
There is that stench in the air…but it’s only noticeable to those who walk up in your building for the first time. The funk hits them in the face as soon as they enter the doors of your church. Its slaps them in the face! And while they are holding their noses almost wanting to puke, fanning their faces, trying to figure out ‘What IS that smell?’ You are sitting there, waiting on your next serving of SPIRITUAL CHITLINS!
And then you get offended when those visitors don’t come back anymore!
We hear folks talk about nobody’s getting saved in church anymore, that saved folks are just migrating from church to church, house to house. I have to agree with this: except what’s happening is that saints/slaves are starving. They are tired of their steady diet of spiritual chitlins and hammocks, smothered in spiritual cornbread and molasses.
The chitlins have passed for the meat of the word, and the pastors/massas have made it palatable and tasty for you by including hefty side orders of spiritual cornbread and molasses, to sweeten it for you. To make the so called ‘meat-of-the-word’ they are peddling go down easier. Just like when mama used to make that corn bread with that red beans and rice…a lot of times, she wouldn’t even use rice. She would just eat the beans with corn bread, in her own words, to make the beans go down easier!
Pastors/Massas for generations has gotten away with feeding the slaves, oops…excuse me, saints, chitlins, greens, red beans and corn bread. And the saints saw nothing wrong with it for a long time.
But as more and more slaves/saints start getting spiritually sick from their steady diets of death and scraps, more and more of others slaves are taking a stand. In their minds, their ‘stand’ is to go to another church. It is a major accomplishment in the minds of those saints ‘who smell the funk’ in their old churches for them to pick up and move somewhere else.
But what they fail to realize is that THAT pastor/massa where they migrate to have the same funk on their plantation/in their church, too. Some pastors/massa-when they find out that you were ‘Jakes’ or Longs’ ni_ _ _ _ , or belonged to another church but left the ‘wrong way,’ i.e. you didn’t get pastor/massa’s permission to leave or you didn’t get ‘released,’ then they tell you ‘You better go back where you came from!’
(How many of y’all remember Creflo telling Eddie Long’s congregants who went to his church after the scandal to go BACK to New Birth when the grits started hitting the fan?)
Creflo even called them NEGROES at about 1 minute and 40 seconds or so into this video!
Wow.
The above video looks SO much like a scene out of the movie ROOTS when a slave ran away to another massa’s plantation who seemed to be nicer or kinder to the slaves. And that massa would rebuke that slave for running away to his plantation-that slave might get a lashing or two before being returned to his original master.
It’s so time to WAKE UP!
If you go the institutionalized church, you are in SLAVERY!
And ALL the pastors/massas (YES, YOUR PASTOR, TOO!) work together to KEEP you that way!
What a sad state to be in, especially as so many celebrate Black History Month, claiming to be free. Yet, in actuality, you are yet STILL SLAVES, feeding on SPIRITUAL CHITLINS!

“Leave the church: A Historical Perspective of “the Great Falling Away.”
By Pam Sheppard
Once I heard in a supernatural way that the organized church had already been judged, I decided to try the spirits to see if they be of “God by studying church history. History was not one of my favorite subjects, but my hypothesis was that if the church had already been judged, history would reveal the truth.
I began with the premise that we are in the generation of the 7th church age. In the first 3 chapters of the book of Revelation, the Lord spoke to each church age. I was able to pinpoint and find in the history books each church age: Ephesus as the first age of those who lived in the generation of the Lord’s crucifixion, resurrection and after the ascension. The persecuted church at Smryna lined up and overlapped the first age, under cruel Roman domination, with the saints being crucified upside down, beheaded, and stoned to death.
With the rise of the Roman Emperor, Constantine, the organized church was established with the compromising church at Pergamos, which eventually became the Catholic Church. History revealed that the churches at Thyatira and Sardis are tao phases of Catholic Domination that spans several centuries until Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation of the 1500′s. Protestantism was the Lord’s favored church, from 1500 to 1900 when it too became as corrupted as the Catholic Church.
The age of Laodicea is the LAST church age, and we are living in it. It consists of an idolatrous, charismatic witchcraft Catholic AND Protestant church. While the Catholics have perverted the gospel of Jesus Christ with the deification of Mary and the worship of various saints, Protestantism is equally perverse. By studying church history, it became clear to me that the 7th and last age of Laodicea is a fulfillment of the Apostle’s Paul’s predictions that in the last days, there would be a great “falling away.” Paul warned the Galatians that all who add to or detract from the gospel of Jesus Christ would be cursed. He also warned that some would depart from the faith because they listened to seducing spirits teach doctrines of devils. I didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to discern that there are far too many doctrines of devils for me to even try to count today.
However, the two most powerful ones—more powerful than the prosperity gospel–is the easy believism or the “I accept Jesus into my heart” gospel and the speaking in other tongues.
The “I accept Jesus” practice was first started by Charles Finney. Born in 1792, Finney is a hero of Billy Graham and many other well-known evangelists of today. In no uncertain terms, Finney preached that man can save himself by making a conscious decision to simply “cooperate with God.” Therefore, Finney is the founding father of practically ALL of Protestantism, both traditional and emergent churches, denominational and charismatic churches who all teach an “I accept Jesus” gospel.
Add to the “I accept Jesus” crowd, those who abide by the Pentecostal teaching that the evidence of salvation is that you speak in tongues, and you have the other half of “the great falling away.” These two false doctrines combined, have caused countless seekers to “fall away.” To fall away is not necessarily to physically depart. For most of those who have already joined the ranks of the great falling away attend some church every Sunday morning.
Regarding tongues, it is a doorway for demons to enter human flesh. Since the tongue talker allows his or her mind to enter into passivity while uttering, speaking in tongues causes Christians to unknowingly enter into an altered state of consciousness. Under such circumstances, spirit entities are provided an opportunity to torment, oppress and possess.
Satan has had an agenda to infiltrate and control the organized visible church since the days that the Emperor Constantine organized it, in 313 AD. He has been working for quite a few centuries. His mission was accomplished in the 20th century.
For these reasons, I warn: Leave the Church. God is not there.
In my book below, Wenona Russ warns ministers and ministers-to-be of the dangers of operating in ministry within the institutionalized, organized church.
‘The Makings of a False Prophet’ is a book that looks at the motives for wanting to be in ministry as well as serving as a tool one in ministry can use to gauge where they are in the HEARTS as it pertains to ministry. Many a TRUE prophet turned false as a result of not taking heed to the very foundational and practical things the author shares in her 50-pg book. THIS is the stuff they WON’T tell you in Bible College or the School of the Prophets and/or Apostles! ’The Makings of a False Prophet digs deep into the heart and soul to determine the authenticity of a genuine call from the Lord, and how to keep that authenticity pure and undefiled. You will be blessed by this book if you are truly ready to examine yourself and see not only if you are in the faith, but if you are really called. It is an eye-opening and realistic view at what ministry is-and what it is NOT.
For those who have been closely reading my posts, it is time for you to really know”where I’m comin from”. Here is my bottom line, where the rubber meets the road. Other than for preparing the last days church for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have no personal motive. In fact, I am a 68-year-old retiree from public life. A retiree from NYS government, I am also done with starting a church. Therefore, I am not looking for a sheepfold to follow me or anyone to “rule over.”
To get the message of “what time it is to churchfolk” requires money. I pay to publish, so I don’t make any personal money off of my 6 books. Any one who cannot afford to pay $20 for a book need only let me know and you will be sent an e-book at no charge. What I use to spread the message of “come out of Her, God’s people,” is my own inheritance and my own savings.
When I provide a counseling or training service, I set a fee.The fees I set are reported to IRS. In spite of them, I have never earned a profit. I do not charge for deliverance, healing, prayer or any of God’s graces. Nor do I ask anyone for donations.. Why not, you ask? Because those who give money control those who receive it. I will not put myself in a position to be controlled by ANYONE!
Nor am I looking for notoriety as I actually prefer to remain “under the radar.” Recently, someone was singing my praises–called me an end time prophet of God with the message of the hour. After 2 months of turning folk off by proclaiming my “qualifications and my message” this former associate’s last words to me were “I no longer endorse you.”
I laughed to myself. She does not know that I don’t need anyone to either endorse or “sell me.” Nor will I try to justify myself to anyone. I perceive no benefit to me or my message in any attempt on my part to prove that I am reputable. It is a waste of time as no one can prove that they are not corrupt in times such as these.
My word to you is this. If you seek me for counseling, training or ministry, you will have to find out about me in your own prayer closet. What I am willing to share about myself is something that I can prove.Here is what I can prove.
I owe nothing to NOBODY and I expect NOTHING from NOBODY!
You see, I am free to do all things and free to do nothing. Only in the last seven years have I been this free. I was restrained for 25 years from offending those who paid my secular salary and for 25 years, I had to please the bishops under whom I serve as an ordained minister.. Those days are over for the rest of my life. Like the Lord Jesus, I too can declare that neither man nor the devil has a place in me.
Besides a secular career in state govt where I earned a great pension and excellent health benefits, beside being in private practice as a therapist once I retired at the age of 53 in 1997, I have also been a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ for 30 years. Since I was gainfully employed in the world while simultaneously pastoring, none of my personal income has ever been derived or accumulated from Christian ministry. When I received a salary from any of 3 different churches that I pastored, I gave it back to them double-fold. I even founded my own church in 1996, which I closed in 2009.
Today, I do not attend church, at all.
I personally believe that church is a dangerous place to be, particularly for the sincere followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth–the elect of God. I need to make it plain that only the elect of God is in real danger, and not those who simply attend church because they believe that it is the right thing to do. The “un-chosen” in church are not Satan’s target but only those who belong to Jesus Christ.
In order to understand my position, you need to know that I am not coming
from “whether or not there are good churches or bad churches.” Certainly, there are both, and that has been the case for centuries. In our time, there are some wonderful, good people and excellent programs operating in plenty of churches.
However, this is the power of man. This is the power of human flesh. Human beings can do some good and wonderful things,without God. For example, man has proven that he can build a rocket and walk on the moon. Man conceived the very computers that we all communicate on, with a wealth of information at our finger tips. This is”a good thing.” Likewise, just because a church is “good,” doesn’t mean that “God is there.”
When I was led out of the denomination I served in 2004, I did not know my departure from the organized church system was completely over. The Lord told me to come out, and I obeyed, believing that He planned to send me to a different church affiliation. In fact, I waited for 3 years until the Lord spoke to me. In this regard, I had a handful of supernatural experiences AFTER I was led out of the organized church. Powerful and amazing, to say the least.
Visions, dreams and audible voices such as I have experienced since 2007 come from either God or the devil. There is no in between. In fact, my soul is not imaginative enough to have conceived what I have heard in the spirit. Now if I am wrong,—-if I heard from the devil— I will STILL go to heaven because my born again experience had nothing at all to do with the organized church. I was not saved in church.Church added nothing to my salvation but error and deception.
So if I am wrong, I have nothing to lose.If I am mistaken, God knows the intent of my heart. I don’t have any axes to grind. There is no bitterness in my heart against churchfolk or the system. I can certainly admit to errors in discernment and I will publicly apologize if I am proven to be in error.
However, if I am right, and you continue to “go to church,” then you, dear reader, HAVE A LOT TO LOSE.
What I have noticed over the years is that very often we don’t know that the Holy Ghost has been in our midst until after He has left the scene. For example, this week a thought came into my head that I assumed was my own. The thought was, “how is it that you spiritually survive when you have lost so much that you depended on?” Immediately, I was reminded of the fact that for at least 25 years, my spiritual life was dependent upon people, places and things. By things, I mean “works” and “practices.”
Among the people were those I pastored and the many ministers and
members that I fellowshipped with, as well as two different husbands
who I was compelled to divorce as well as family, friends and associates
that I had to “cut loose”.
For me there was only one place: the church. I was in church constantly as a pastor, a member and a visitor. At times, I was in church as many as 6 days a week, hours at a time.
Furthermore, I frequently visited other churches, several times a month. I also preached and taught in prison for almost 10 years. Among the things or “works” that I no longer do is my first love,— developing sermons and preaching. I practiced healing, deliverance ministry, weeping and wailing in intercession, aka,travailing, and speaking in tongues. I also moved in the “slain in the spirit” ministry, where people fell to the floor at the touch of my hand or at times, when I simply waved my hand, some fell slain. I saw into the future regularly,experiencing supernatural experiences that I believed at the time were manifestations of each of the 9 gifts of the Holy Ghost.
I lost it ALL!
At the beginning of the century, with 9/11/01 as my target date of change, I
had no idea that when I prayed “Lord, if there is any darkness around me,
please expose it,” that practically EVERYTHING–people, places and
things–would be exposed as filled with darkness and deception.
So when the thought came into my mind, “Pam,how do you live and survive today without all of that?” I had not yet come up with an answer, until my first client of the day asked me the very same question. So when she asked the very question that had
just hit my own thoughts, I immediately realized that the Holy Ghost was using her to speak to me. Interestingly enough, as I counsel others, the Holy Ghost frequently uses contents of the session to have a ONE on one session with me!
I can’t recall in detail how I answered the question for it took practically the entire session to do so. However, what I recall is what the client said to me. She sounded, awed, or speechless when she replied, “Wow. Pam,you are really living for Christ because you have given up ALL for His sake.”
I was shocked by her words because since my losses are predominately
religious in nature, I had not looked at them from that particular
perspective. The conclusion that I had come to is that “every
religious person or thing could be and was removed from me but I
held on to ONE thing that could not be removed.
That ONE thing is my faith and assurance that I am
saved, born again, and when all is said and done, my salvation is
“enough.” Jesus Christ of Nazareth is enough for me. I
have ceased from my own works and I rest in the Lord.
However, how does one arrive at such a place within his or her spiritual walk?
It is not easy–at first.As the writer of Hebrews declares, “one must LABOR or struggle to enter into the Lord’s rest” (Hebrews: 4) The familiar expression:
no pain, no gain does not really ring true in the spirit.. The remarkable
thing is that like giving birth in the natural, once the labor and
struggle of delivery has been achieved, you simply can’t remember the pain.For
example, I do not recall the pain of walking away from not
one husband, but two. Once I realized that they were both sent
from the devil to destroy me and hinder my walk in the spirit with the Lord,
the pain was minimized, to say the least!
Once God revealed to me that sermonizing was not from Him but that
it is merely a man-made art, I can no longer recall the pain of not
doing something that I had grown to love. Once one has actually ENTERED
the Lord’s rest, than obedience is in no way painful. Loss is not painful
either. You simply “move on” and live once you have “entered
in.”.That is why I didn’t use the title, no PAIN no gain. I simply
cannot recall the pain of losing so much. However,with each loss, I continue to experience the gain of a new revelation. Fruit simply grows without much effort. I have come to learn that salvation is truly my pearl of great price. The pain of selling all to guard and protect my born again spirit has been my great gain.
As I pointed out in Part 1, when I was led out of a denomination as an active pastor, I expected to be sent to another church affiliation. So I waited. I waited 3 years when I heard a voice say to me that “He had already judged the church and that the Holy Ghost war not there any longer. In fact, I was also informed that the Holy Ghost had left the church BEFORE I ARRIVED IN 1979!
That was another major shock. I did not want to believe that who I had heard from was the Lord. So I began with the premise that I had heard from the devil. The choice was easy. Either God or the devil.It was definitely not my own soul who spoke to me.You see, I had become addicted to church and I did not want to go through a sudden, un-planned detox. I had also become habituated to preaching and pastoring a congregation. so a cold turkey withdrawal from the organized church system was too much, even for a vivid imagination like mine to conceive.
So to try the spirits to see if they be of God, I decided to study church history. I figured if the Holy Ghost had left the church, signs would be evident somewhere in 2000 years of church history. Then something happened that added to my investigation. As I watched a video clip of a worship service led by evangelist Cindy Trimm, as hundreds fell slain like ocean waves, Trimm proclaimed “I thank you Father, that the spirit of Ashtar has fallen upon the people.”
Ashtar? Who is Ashtar? He sounded vaguely familiar to me from the old testament. There was a god, a fallen angel I remembered named Ashtaroth. So I began to google and to google some more and I found the being who calls himself “Ashtar” to new age occultists. I learned that Ashtar reports to yet another fallen angel who is known as Jesus Sananda Immanuel. I continued to study and I discovered that Sananda reports to a being called Maitreya. Maitreya’s rhetoric as channeled through various psychic mediums read a lot like the Anti-Christ.
My studies and notes turned into 220 pages, the book “the Fake Jesus:Fallen Angels Among Us.” ( ebook www.lulu.com/content/12044954 and the soft cover www.lulu.com/content/2716532) In a nut shell, besides studying church history, I reviewed the writings communicated to various occult channels via fallen angels.I tried the spirits for ONE whole year. Once the project was completed, I came to an un-deniable conclusion. II had heard from the Lord. The organized church is in the same condition as a boarded up, inner city condemned building. The Holy Ghost is NOT there
.
Satan began to progressively establish a seat within church divisions, sects and organization since the organization of the church in the third century.If you are born again and you still attend church, the Holy Ghost will speak to you. He may use a written blog or a book, a dream, whatever. He may use hypocrites and haters to run you out. If you are in the church and you have had a false conversion, if you are one of the elect, the enemy is waving a license to keep you in God’s face. The fake Jesus stands on his rights because YOU invited him to come into you when you repeated a sinner’s prayer, “accepted” Jesus and invited him into your heart. Sananda is the one you are worshiping. He did not lie to his occult followers when he told them that he is in control of the organized Christian Church.
I heard from God. That is enough to keep me out of the organized church.
Perhaps my testimony is not enough for YOU. That is okay. I am assured if you belong to Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Holy Spirit will speak to you and lead you out. You may have to stand alone as I stand. Believe me, Beloved. It is not so bad on my side or from my viewpoint. If I am wrong, He will correct me. This is my faith. I stand on it.
These 3 reasons alone are enough to warn people to leave the church. If I am wrong, any local church will welcome you back.
