Typical. Fear, fear, and more fear.
I have heard this fear message preached my whole life. That is how they keep us locked in.
Watch out the anti-christ is coming to put a chip in your hand.
Look out there is a demon in your house because you listened to "CHRISTIAN ROCK" music.
Don't let your kids play baseball because there was a family once that did and they left church.
If you cut your hair God won't protect your family.
If you don't shout when the preacher yells you must not love Jesus.
If you grow a beard then you are rebellious which is the same as the sin of witchcraft.
Watchout those charismatics will get you and you will be lost forever.
You know after a while the fear stops working and it make these folks develope serious hate issues. That is why so many UPCers have bad attitudes, I can say this because I used to be this way. Because they feel that because they do certain things that they will be more holy and more spiritual and when they see someone going to a baseball game or wearing shorts they just can't understand why God would bless those people.
I remember coming home from youth camp and having this guilt that we shouldn't do anything in life that might make us "perform" less in church.
"Ya'll behave now, ya hear!"
