The doctrine of "sunk costs" applies here. The wagon trails over the Rockies were littered with family heirloom furniture, libraries, etc. -- weighty objects that made it impossible for the yoke beasts to make progress. The pioneers kept their tools, their seed, their resolve. The failures turned back.
"Tom, you are like a man who sees a freight train heading for a cliff," a friend told me eons ago, when I wanted to be a methodist preacher. "You don't know the first thing about trains, but you do know that it's going in the wrong direction, and you are determined to jump on board and turn it around!"
The big problem is -- every year you stay with the hell-bound train, wrestling with the demented crew for control over the machinery, is another year when your tithe money funds enemy causes -- and your children sit under a compromised pulpit. You might have enough theological health to resist said pulpit -- but it's unlikely that your children do. Yes, you may in the end end up with the echoing properties -- but your children may not be with you.
Remember Lot's wife. (and daughters!)
"every year you stay with the hell-bound train, wrestling with the demented crew for control over the machinery, is another year when your tithe money funds enemy causes -- and your children sit under a compromised pulpit."
By definition it's not a train on an either-or track...it's more a SUV that can turn any tiny or large direction, a sermon or event at a time, the composite tending to lead to Heaven or Hell, granted....I've never had to deal with this so I can only say I understand the concerns about family and children--including their being RECRUITED at such pervert-friendly churches....
Indeed the Enemy has infiltrated, most Deviously. Recall the passage about the wheat being harvested with the thistles.... God is sovereign and I have hope; GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS (Lamentations 3).
