Correct. They’ve built their entire lives around what and who they do it with. It’s quite base and quite sick.

Wow. How far the Congregational Church in America has fallen since the 1600s. Even in the late 1960s our Baptist Church associated often with Congregational churches in the area. That letter by the “pastor” in your post is cringeworthy.
Rev. Alden founded a Congregational church in Waseca, MN (independently governed church with an association...the “NACCC”).

Wasn’t it the Rev. Alden who sued Michael Landon for abuses after the series left the air?
Leftist white females are social cancer. They are civilization’s kryptonite.
the wisdom traditions are aka Gnosis traditions.
Gnostics are still christian.
All those words for ‘peace’, don’t equate to witchcraft, as i checked my encyclopaedia of witchcraft.
I will opine that, if balanced by Puritanical ideology, anything outside of the KJV, would be defined as witchcraft.
Such ideology became cursed (imho), when in 1640 - 20 years after Plymouth Rock, in the town of Windsor, in the colony of Connecticut, came a young woman by the name of Alsee/Alice Young, who was found guilty of witchcraft, and hung.
She was the first woman found guilty and hung, in the New World.
Godless ChINOs.
No, they are not. Per the Apostles and early Church fathers.
Polycarp even called them "the first born of Satan."
This is the same congregation where a former female "pastor" commented after the Pulse queer nightclub shooting, that these "gay bars" are "holy spaces" for sexual deviants.
Equating places for hooking to commit abominations as "holy" is the height of blasphemy in my book.
two different churches from same denomination. The First Congregational Church and South Congregational Church)
Is "Congregational" really a denomination, seeing as how congregational autonomy is the big thing with them.
“Wasn’t it the Rev. Alden who sued Michael Landon for abuses after the series left the air?”
I’m speaking of the real Rev. Alden from Laura’s book. I read all of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Alden
“Alden was born in Windsor, Vermont. He was the founding pastor of the First Congregational Church of Waseca, Minnesota in 1868, the first organized church in that town. Alden was later the minister at the Congregational Church in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, which was described in the book “On the Banks of Plum Creek”. He was a home missionary, having a church in the East, involved in planting new churches on the western frontier, such as the one in Walnut Grove which he founded in 1875. Charles and Caroline Ingalls were among the first baptized members. “
**The Ingalls family as in Laura Ingalls Wilder, were a member of that church. Remember Rev. Alden? They did not strike me as liberal.**
The moral decay is everywhere. The little country Presbyterian church I belonged to until I was 28 has little resemblance to the very conservative church I grew up in. They had a split about 30 years ago over allowing women to be trustees. Over half moved into the nearest town and started their own PCA church.
One thing that struck me about the Ingalls family tv show was that they never showed them living in snow country 4 months out of the year, because that is where they lived. Not the backhills north of LA.
