Question #1 If you were not born into the TSCC, and you did not know any members, would you join after hearing the discussions?
Question #2 If just verbally accepting JC was enough to ensure your place in heaven, would you still be a member of the TSCC?
Question #3 If you were to suspect that the BOM is fictional (including its origin) would you still faithfully attend and allow you children to be indoctrinated?
Question #4 After experiencing many meetings, visits and lessons that have not taught you anything new, do you really think that this is what God intended for you to do? I mean we all know that He acts in mysterious ways, but would you have ever guessed in a million years that He desired for you to sit around with others and talk about being better people? What if you had to spend eternity doing these same things, wouldn't that be hell?
I don't remember that part of the discussions... "do you promise to obey all the little rules that have been accumulating since the TSCC started?" They don't even give them the fine print to read.
I'd have been invited to attend the local three hour cruise and when I mentioned that my starting time was right in the middle of the block time, the moues and frowny faces would have started!
And when I asked, "What?!", they'd have told me about the Sabbath Day and keeping it holy, and I would have said, "I'll continue to keep it holey, at the golf course!" and escorted them the hell out.

Hell No!!

I am a Christian, and that is pretty much what they teach except with a bit of works and if you really accept JC you will change naturally.....so yeah sort of...but I am still not real churchy.

I would probably keep going for awhile, while inside something is telling me this is not right and at some point stop going. I have no children.

I can always learn something new, and I see nothing wrong with trying or learning to be a better person. But if I get to much pressure I run...which is pretty much all the time....since life is filled with stress, my way is to run from it. As for eternity, I don't worry about it to much, I think we will be different and not have the same struggles we have now.
I don't think there is anything more important than truth---so to think what I was allowing my children to be indoctrinated into, brainwashed into-----what I thought might not be, or wasn't truth----not in a million years. I'd run for the border rather than let that happen.
