Some Abuses Of Rights And Freedoms--From the Church of God--Nazarene Sect:
1. Abuse Of Individuality: They adopt a GROUP mentality. They are not permitted to think for themselves apart from the group and only accept what they are told.
(1 Co 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.)
2. Abuse Of Intimacy: Relationships with friends, relatives, spouses, children, parents etc are broken or seriously hampered.
(Mt 10:37-39 "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.)
3. US Versus THEM Mentality: Isolation from the community in general. Anyone and everything outside the group is seen as of the devil or unenlightened etc. Their enemies now include former friends; the Jewish Temple; governments; education systems; - the world in general. Those who are involved with these in any way see such involvement as a means to an end.
(Mt 12:30 "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters)
(1 Jn 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.)
4. Abuse Of Time And Energy: The group controls and uses almost all the members time and energy in group activities. They are usually in a constant state of mental and physical exhaustion. Special days or times will be allocated for "group play"- where members simply gather and do church appointed activities.
(Ac 2:46 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts)
6. Abuse Of Free Will: They must unquestioning submit to the groups teachings and directions and their own free will is broken. Their will actually becomes the groups will without their realizing it.
( 1 Co 11:16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.)

Man! whoever thinks like this is going directly against the church that Jesus established according to the bible... and that would also mean that their churches are different from the one in the bible... who can receive forgiveness and blessings from God if they think like that?.. It’s so shameful... people create their own god.
As many might say, I never looked at it that way. I don't feel its right. I want to follow my God, my savior (Acts 4:12) and for doing so I get labeled as a "cult member"??? Forget it. Now I understand why Christ warned us about the world. Its no wonder same thing is happening now w/ Christ Ahnsahnghong and those who want to follow the truth..
No matter how people treat the Church of God because we believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, I will still firmly believe in them. Because the Bible clearly testify that Christ Ahnsahnghong is Second Coming Christ. And Mother Jerusalem is our Heavenly Mother, the wife, the bride of the Lamb that give us eternal life in these last days.
Hello. I’m Clara (Diana’s daughter) and I just wanted to let you guys know that I apologize for judging your church. I never judged any religion even though they went against my own believes. My mom is a member of your church and I thought it was weird just because she wears a veil in church and prays during the day and before going to sleep. I did not realize my mistake until now that I actually visited your church and I thought people would be all mean. Well everyone was so adorable even though I was being nasty! And that showed a lot. And I studied about the Sabbath and yes. It’s true. I didn’t notice the big mistake I made by talking against you guys in other bloggs (which by the way did not have base on the bible). I’m really sorry. And well. I hope to see you guys soon..
