Rules...
1. No talking on the phone for more than 10 minutes TO WHOM?? ANYBODY??
2. No friends outside of church, not even family (it was discouraged strongly) WHY?? DIDN"T JESUS EAT WITH SINNERS?? HOW DID YOU WIN THE LOST ??
3. No more than three families at a time in your home and not too often, if you had a gathering you are suppose to ask everyone in the church so no one gets offended. WHY!! THAT IS NUTS!
4. No home bible studies without the ministry being there WHY??????
5. You must attend all fellowships AND IF YOU DIDN'T /.?????
6. So lunch dates, or shopping with friends even the ones in church...PLEASE CLARIFY
7. No important decisions made without consulting the pastor...like, buying a car(new, used, how much you can spend)...same with a home or property.
8. You were not allowed to move, unless you had his OK.
THAT IS CULT ACTIVITY !!!

Being we are older we did not attend parenting classes or marriage classes so we missed out on a lot of the rules...but over time we learned. This is not everything, but for the moment its enough...I might add more as I think of them.....

So there ya go Thad....

there you go TS!! Qs in RED
