PONDERING:
Q. WHY IS A “CHURCH” SUPER RELIGIOUS, STRICT?
“Be ye kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as Christ has forgiven you” Apostle Paul to the Ephesians 4:32 entire “needs to be transformed**’ community (**to effect the community “society” close by)

LET’S EXAMINE POSSIBLE REAL REASONS:
FOR “WHY” A TYPE OF CHURCH MAY BE SUPER RELIGIOUS OR STRICT?
(1) Because God is angry or mean? (A big fat no!)
(2) The attenders are evil, unruly? Usually “not,” but the top senior ministers may have had trouble in the past and are gun shy.
(3) The leaders are “autocratic” back under the law? Trained wrong? Basically uneducated? In the wrong job? Poor me false teaching? (A high possibility based on my Luke eyewitness in modern media affected, mostly “big boss” shaped by media.)
Plus (4) By nature, the top leaders, due to past family, toxic upbringing, are overbearing, mean, emotionally unstable, have very low esteem, are not good with certain types of real persons, vastly immature, unstable, fearful, biased or controlling, may undermine, play ghoulish, soulish, mind games? (Yes, seems to be (since celebrity, witchcraft occult /Dr Phil Ministry Pop Psychology in (seer office prophetic type) often mean, ministry (mostly Holy Ghost main groups) this alarmingly has grown into a much BIGGER than used to be, modern-day sadly …quite a higher percentage.)
(4) Top leaders are (appearing as by birth) super strict, easily threatened, narcissistic, and tend to micromanage, cult control to enforce attendance, frown people into behaving, immaturely orchestrate sly appointed persons, staff to spy and keep tabs, even report back via ‘mind reading “deep scan VIBE TYPE or perceived ENERGY inner scanning( which is TOO UNSAFE and big DANGEROUS… (all ministry authority attempts to conveniently control to manipulate as an act of I Samuel 15:23 rebellion, “which is the sin of witchcraft and an accuser, word curse unloving display of Perverse “CHRISTIAN?” biased, and falsely focused, being self centered/ lying mean Ministry by applying the use of ” false authority” (undue mental, emotional, peer, financial hostage, strict, even use corporal** punishment(**see beneath) to keep pressure on the people to keep money coming in? It appears to be JUST ABOUT THEIR “TURF” “leader SYSTEM” which is definitely mammon centric” (YOU can assess for YOUR SELF….!)
2 VIVID UNFORGETTABLE MINISTRY MEMORIES:
First: Decades ago, I had a couple who came to assist in my Christian ministry. They came from working 20 years in a different ministry, which was a fellowship with a college outreach. I had heard it,as part of the Christian ministry in the region, yet from far off and I’d respected it. And these two persons had been on staff. Their story: When asked about themselves, I was told horrible things:
The senior pastor (an “apostle”) had not given them one day off in 20 years. (I wanted to clarify, “You mean he never gave you a day off… not even for Mother’s Day?” and they replied, “No.”)
This couple also said that the reason for them just being allowed to marry at age 46 was due to the ‘apostle,” as he was called, who required all staff to wait to get married and to postpone having children. And he told the entire church the same. The reason? It would hinder his ministry. (After hearing about this dear couple, practically owned, and Apostolic Indentured Servants (and just 2 among more than a few) for the wife even did “The Apostle’s” laundry!), and I commented, “I thought Abraham Lincoln already freed the slaves”…
(Second) When I lived in DFW, I briefly had a “Starbucks type” church minister” servant leader friend who had personally witnessed “corporal punishment” (in a different state, Indiana) when an office senior pastor where she assisted, lined up his 8 staff members, and went down the row and slapped each one in the face. (Told this, early 2020 prior to Covid)
PS Being “Heaven’s Advocate” reason? To get persons to think… And I would that each reader will pray for God’s true purpose, for the many people and the many pastors, leaders, elders who seek to model Christ… Also, I realize that this is “not” that many, but there are several (many) in the United States, and around the wide world.
