Megachurch Puts Woman ‘Under Discipline’ For Wanting To Divorce A Pedophile

[Papageorgio]

Try. That is the key there. In the end, anything they do that actually can prevent her from leaving is ILLEGAL and can be stopped with the police and/or courts. Hence, they cannot stop her from leaving.

I like how they use the word "hostage". Like someone is holding her at the church.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

11,000 members isn't a megachurch.

And you are defending it ? Interesting that you didn't comment on the what is going on there, just the size of the church

Because it is nonsense. They cannot put anyone under discipline. They cannot prevent her from leaving. They can have a belief system that disapproves of divorce. That makes them like the Clintons who also believe that wives should stand by their man.

Everyone becoming a member must sign a covenant and agree to the rules.

5 Membership Renewal and Removal
Membership is reviewed and renewed on a periodic basis. Members can be removed through (a) failure to renew their membership, (b) voluntary resignation of membership by one in good standing, (c) death, or (d) a decision by the Campus Elders as a result of the disciplinary process. Members are prohibited from voluntarily resigning their membership while subject to the formal disciplinary process.

Except for one thing. This agreement has no legal significance whatsoever. There is nothing that this church or anyone in it can do to prevent someone from leaving.

You must engage in a lying personal attack because I am perfect. Unlike you, I do not drink, smoke, use drugs, gamble, look at porn and I don't like sex. You are just jealous because you are not an angel upon earth like I am.

funny only alcoholics say shit like that and not liking sex is a mental illness ..

What's the treatment for such mental illness? A little gang rape perhaps.

if thats what you think sex is......get help....you are one fucked up old broad......

You posted your own selfie!

i did?.....where?....i dont see it here.....

sharing fantasies are we?

I love pointing out to liberals that underneath it all, liberals don't believe that a woman has the right to say no to sex and that underlying belief is what drives rape to such remarkable rates in liberal enclaves. Such as liberal college campuses. Admit it. Liberals believe in teaching those bitches a lesson.

are you now sharing your S&M FANTASY OR YOUR B&D FANTASY?
You have so many it's hard to know.

 

[daws101]

Wrong.

NOPE THAT'S all you .....

You have no proof, you have nothing, you are wrong and it is only your opinion that she is held hostage, the church says you can't go, and she did, no hostage, nothing. Liberal BS.

dodge....

Dodge of what nutter? You haven't answered squat not have you asked squat.

Nothing to dodge. I am face to face with your stupidity.

I would not bother. It is obvious that facts are irrelevant to daws as is logic in general.

The accusations that have been thrown around in this thread are not only baseless but completely devoid of logical reasoning. He will parrot them anyway.

it's nice to see that you admit you accusations are devoid of ( btw it's logic and reason) the way you put it makes no sense.

my first post yesterday at 10 am was al the answer needed.
why should I ask when it's all soo obvious.
everything you've posted since then has been making excuses for that church....

I'm not excusing the church, I am saying no one is being held hostage, she is free to worship where ever she wants. You have not given one reason she can't!

I would never go to a mega church, nothing says impersonal than those.

You nutters go to the extremes, if you try to rationalize with you people, you go to extremes. You remind me on 911 inside job.

all religions are cults .
Cult
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
"Cult leader" redirects here. For the American 2010s metal band, see Cult Leader.
For the original sense of "religious practice", see Cult (religious practice). For religious groups with modern origins see New religious movement and List of new religious movements. For other uses see Cult (disambiguation).
In the sociological classifications of religious movements, a cult is a religious or social group with socially deviant or novel beliefs and practices.[1] However, whether any particular group's beliefs and practices are sufficiently deviant or novel is often unclear, thus making a precise definition problematic.[2][3] In the English speaking world, the word often carries derogatory connotations.[4][5] The word "cult" has always been controversial because it is (in a pejorative sense) considered a subjective term, used as an ad hominem attack against groups with differing doctrines or practices, which lacks a clear or consistent definition.[6][7]

Beginning in the 1930s, cults became the object of sociological study in the context of the study of religious behavior.[8] Certain groups have been labelled as cults and have been opposed by the Christian countercult movement for their unorthodox beliefs. Since the 1970s, some groups have been opposed by the anti-cult movement, partly motivated in reaction to acts of violence committed by members of some groups. Some of the claims by the anti-cult movement have been disputed by other scholars and by the news media, leading to further controversy. Public and governmental reactions to the cult issue have also been a source of controversy.

It isn't really fair to call the Southern Baptist Church a cult. They are really a bigoted racist organization. Let's be accurate about this!

You have contributed nothing and can't support your BS and even refuse to clarify.

Your judgement and lack of information other than agreeing with a biased article is also meaningless. I doubt your story as you can't seem to answer any questions directed at the experience. Your post is far for "clear".

You have made many post in this thread, but have yet you communication nothing but your snooty BS.
