[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 49896, member: 84"] Please don't blast me as I've never heard of this church. But I haven't read anything that leads me to believe it is cultish. Strict maybe. But I grew up with this stuff. So I guess it doesn't seem as Out There to me. Actually, I've seen worse. And there are even stricter ones around here. (dress/hair code ect) If you have a link MWM I'd like to see about this one. I've been out of the organized religion loop for about 25 yrs, and it doesn't sound the least bit familiar. (I might change my mind after visiting the site) I'll insert here that while I don't knock organized religion, it just isn't at all for me. But my Mom's church would probably curl your hair and give you nitemares. [img]:surprise:[/img] She was telling me not long ago that members were strongly encouraged NOT to buy or get services from anyone not assoc with the church. Need a plumber, find one in the church. That sort of thing. And it just gets worse from there. My Mom is fanatical, always has been when her mental stability isn't there. Once she evens out again it sort of disapates til the next episode. It doesn't vanish, just eases up. I could tell when I spoke to her the other day that dealing with my stepdad's death is about to plunge her into another episode. *sigh* It's how she attempts to "cope" with her mental illness. (although I don't think she realizes it) What I find odd is that they don't seem to anxious to recruit new members. I mean, how are you supposed to "save" the heathens if you can't assoc with them?? Maybe with ex going to the church he can get a glimpse of the inside and provide more info on the situation. I know it hurts the way he's treating you. (and it's pretty non christian by the way) But I'd try not to take it personally. As for the whole Chinese thing, I think he's desperate to feel connected with his roots, culture, and thinks wife has all the answers and validates him. (not a good thing) Hopefully his interest will begin to wain soon. Usually unless they have the personality for it, this sort of super enthusiastic church stuff grows old after a while.
