Most of them do not believe in tithe or support missions. They are argumentative and rebellious and I do not agree with them.
I have seen the leaders of these "house churches" control and manipulate people with personal "prophecys" and try to control the lives of new Christians and weak minded people. I have seen them twist the scriptures and use it to benefit their own ego.
You may think this is harsh but I have seen the abuses of these "house churches" for many years. Do you know the end result of most of them is? People that see no need to assemble in corporate worship with other Christians and are rebellious against God and His Church that He purchased with His own blood!
That my friend is why I am NOT going to any "house church" and not going to eat their casseroles!

Can you really, honestly, not see the fact that you're sounding exactly like you're accusing the "cultic house churches" of acting? You seem to feel just as sure that they're all poor hillbilly cults as you presume that they're sure that they're superior to all mega churches because they have delicious casseroles!
And as far as them not having enough money, so... they're not money changers. So what.
I really hope you're saying this in a joking manner, because you sound downright rude. Seriously. If you're teaching a perspective like this to a congregation, have you considered that you may be founding a cult of hate towards house churches?
Yes, I have seen cultic house churches. I've also seen cultic mega churches. *shrug* What makes a cultic house church worse than a cultic mega church? A casserole?
