I think what offended me the most about the church was not some person or some trivial incident, but the fact that I could take my family into it, in good faith, but I couldn't get them out. All of a sudden my family is held hostage, I'm held hostage, by the church, by the strength of its indoctrination programming. I conclude that the church is not what it claims to be and I can't get my family out. That's offensive. That's coercion. That's theft and, I think, a kind of cheating on the part of the church. I went in with a hope that it could be true but am FORCED to comply if I want to keep my family, FORCED to say I believe in order to have peace in my family.
That's not just wrong. It's evil. How could Christian charity have anything to do with this controlling garbage?
