I think it is MORE than enough. Unbelievable.

It is to me too now ...but when I was in the middle of it I thought it was how God wanted it....I trusted my pastor...because I was told that was how it was!

No tuperware or any other kind like that unless it was the pastors wife...
Yes few and far inbetween friends over
Yes we had to have premission to be gone
We were not allowed to miss church unless we had two broken legs...said in jest, but meant all the same
Hummm fishing I don't know about...


of course these rules DID NOT apply to the pastors family!!!!

My goodness, we did go to the same church!!

The pasotr's son in law could not believe when he went on the first family vacation that some of the stuff preached against was done by the pastors family.

The excuse was we are strong enought to do this but the saints aren't.

....

OK now #4 do they nt want people studying on their own, What are they afraid of, People becoming free thinkers lol

#7 I am sorry but again are people not supposed to make their own decisions
I understand if someone feels they need to talk but to be a requiremant is just not rite

All I can tell you...is that the current pastor which is my first pastors son...his wife was a very happy fun loving girl, and is now a sour faced unhappy woman....I see NO joy in any of them

We even had our own church version of the afirmation statement.

Filled out papers that we studied and prayed three hours and studied three hours over our sunday school lessons if we were teachers.
