I was attending an UC Church where doctors, Psychiatrists, AA, ect were discouraged, we were to trust God for healing, deliverance, and mental health. Women were encouraged to have their babies at home. Sickness was evidence of sin (according to an elder in the church). Seeing a doctor was evidence of a lack of faith. I was trying to be obedient to what was being preached, and what I believed at the time. So you can be as horrified as you like, but I was a reflection of what I was being taught.
I am no longer an Ultra Con, and no longer hold unrealistically idealistic viewpoints or try to persuade others what route their faith should take.
