You should not make decisions based on what knowledge you have, even if it surpasses your elders...that is Wicca.

Lead up to saying the stuff we do to reach youth is wrong..of the spirit of WIcca.

As an example he gave renting out the Skating Rink and replacing their music with Christian music. He said he did not know what to do because other churches were doing that and he just did not know what to do...so he called an elder...up Norther Cal for advice and the elder said "I won't let my kids go to those" and that settled it for the preacher.

I didn't hear anything really about Jesus..obeying, following, praying, fasting, reading the word....I heard a message that gave near absolute authority into the Pastors hands.

The worship was alright....of course there were no modern songs.
He never ever said this or anything like this (in the bold)
