    Right on, Brother; Amen!

    I've driven by that church a time or two. It ought to have its own ZIP Code. As for the members and their ways, I once attended and participated in a similar church (I went to most of them through my life, before converting to a particular belief 26 years ago). The most striking things are (1) the emotionalism there, that masquerades as a trusting faith; and (2) the manner in which the advocates have no tolerance for any other belief, practice, or what they see as willful "deafness." You will do as they say and do, or you are powder!! I have often wondered if they have relatives in Germany . . .
