Head of the church sets the example. We're in the endtimes...you know. Pretty soon we're all gonna be running to the mountains...better get yourself ready to be locked away from da world.

What Pastor does that? Who feeds them?

Who feeds them? Do they order pizza to their cave? Where do they get money for Pizza if they don't go out and work? Remember we are talking about people that believe separation from the world means never going places.

Matt, I think the wool is beginning to be pulled off your eyes about many things in the churches that just don't add up according to the scriptures. However, like MTD said, you must take your eyes off human flesh, and put them back on Christ. Get out your Bible and read it for yourself. Don't depend on anyone else's interpretation... Let the Spirit of Christ in you teach you. John 2:27
