Because they seem to be in a cult like church and she was most likely trying to escape.

What knowledge do you have of this church in particular or Churches in general?

They do exist. I lost my first girlfriend to an arranged marriage in her parents nutjob church. She later died due to lack of medical care for a heart problem. ( doctors are evil don'tcha know)

Why do you keep making statements like this? This is the example of a close and caring church in the South. Yes, there are cult-like churches, but I've seen none of that in what we've seen. Dr. Smiley appears to be a caring person who has consented to be media spokesman. I'm sure that the Wilbanks family wants it that way. He is a public speaker by profession and that is intimidating for a lot of people. So it seems to be very natural to ask your pastor to do that. Biblical churches are communities and care for one another. Where's the similarity to a cult?

I presume you mean to use your biblical expertise to explain what makes this a cult?

People who are involved in church, depend on their pastors for spiritual strength. I can assure you WE BAPTIST ARE NO CULT!

That is just stupid to even say such....
