Well, Rhonda, here you go again..."cutltish practices." When will you EVER stop?! Don't you care that such phrases offend countless people who are doing all they can, and who are living according to their convictions?!
You have no problem with calling others out, and making rash and unfair statements, but what if the situation were reversed?! You wouldn't like it at all.
Because
you have DEEP issues with the Apostolic Church, it does not give you the right to call it "cultish practices."
If it is true that you have dear friends who are Apostolic, why would you continue to low-grade at every turn what they believe?!
It boggles my mind...
As for the politics and junk, so you're tired. Who isn't?! I see it first hand every day. My heart is distressed as I write because of the behind the scenes comments and junk leveled at brethren.
But I refuse to make it a topic for the World Wide Web to see. Further, for all of the mishandling and junk that goes on, there are more things right about being Apostolic than not.
Truth is, there are problems any where you go. There is no perfect situation, and every home, church, organization, place of employment, you name it, has some kind of an issue.
The reason is that we are dealing with humanity, and as long as we have that factor involved, we can look for imperfection.
I'm asking you kindly to cease from referring to the Apostolic Church as a cult...thank you...
