Scientology comes to mind.<<<

Good example.I would not go there, if I wanted to find God.

But if I were weak and wanted to be led it would be a good choice.

When I was young, before the 1950's, there were many Churches, that met, kept meeting and one day had a name.

I think of them as "Open Bible" churches and never see them today.

You could expect to get a strong message, prayer and a host of loving members, who were meeting for God's service.

Money and getting on television was not the goal.

The members did the painting, gardening and keeping it as bright as possible, for the one reason of "It is God's House".

Churches of today, bore me and I go to sleep, at once.

The singing of songs that do not rejoice in the giving of thanks, leave me cold.

Many of our simple churches, as I see it in the west, vanished after Waco and the clintons.

Today, a small church, would be considered a radical church, and would not survive.

I did not understand as they disappeard, but think I do today, it is all in the communist manifesto of 1963.

It is printed in our 2nd thread, on page 1, of the last thread and will be in my next post, as I have it copied.
