The only difference between a church and a cult is the size of the congregation.

I like to think of it as more of an 'Exclusive Club" than a cult

I like to think of it as more of an 'Exclusive Club" than a cult I wonder what the other people in your meeting would think of that term, -since one is not suppose to belong to "clubs."

A Church is not just a social club, but it must provide the social support necessary to facilitate stability in a culture of secular pressure. And it should always be inclusive, not exclusive.

*** I say it's an exclusive "sect" of Christ Jesus New Testament apostolic ministry and fellowship.

You know its a cult because when you leave and you no longer cease to exist. If I leave my local car club I still exist.

Shane Willard quote. "You want to be known as the nicest Church, not the most doctrinally correct Church" or words to that effect. Another one, "God loves people more than the rule's"

Big and small, far and wide, they are all cults in the original sense of the word. Those that practice 'adverse' cultic behaviours are the ones to watch. That means all of them for they all possess that seed. It's a thing that all groups must be on their guard against.

Don't you KNOW the Westcoast time is 3 hrs behind your time. If I show up in the Sunday morning meeting I will be sitting there alone for 3 hours. Which church are you going to?

Wow, 95 years old professing mom, that is a long, long time of service. She will lots of rewards for her faithfulness all these years. It's would be interesting to hear her story/testimony someday.

We had a guy like you when I was a kid, drove his mum in & waited outside. He was a wicked sinner & we were not to make eye contact with him, let alone approach the car. In hindsight, he was a loving & caring son that took care of his mother to the end, in spite of attitudes demonstrated to him. I met him through my work many years later & he turned out to be a top bloke.

Whatever it is you come across once again as a smug prick. you've been here almost as long as i have, if you weren't so all consumed in hearing yourself speak and actually listen to others you would actually know some things. as to smug pricks i think you are projecting again...good try though

If you could post up where Intel quoted when his mother professed it would carry a bit more weight.
