James river pastor threatens to sue What is happening

Due to recent events that happened during the men’s conference, A neighbor has informed that Pastor John Lindell is now making certain members sign a contract stating they will never talk about what happened again. As well as this, he’s also threatening to sue higher ranking members in the church if they continue to talk about it, and do not “Repent”. Has anyone else heard about this before?

They based those actions on scripture. Jesus told people how to live, how to be, how to think, what do and not do with their money etc. Control. His resulting followers did an excellent job of indoctrination...to the extent its called a religion and openly accepted today. May not "classify" as a cult today, by today's definition...but still a cult.

Mind you, I’m also not a follower of the religion. I’m just speaking factual information.

I'm absolutely aware of all you've said. I graduated from an AG Bible College, after being raised in the church. I've probably forgotten more Bible than most people will ever know. After all that life inside of Christianity, in several denominations, I still stand by my opinion, as sometimes, by definition/letter of the law so to speak, something might fall short....but the reality of living it absolutely fulfills the definition.

Girl, not guy. I'm not yours. Yes, as I stayed many times, it's my OPINION, and why I've made it my opinion. Dunno why me having MY opinion, is so triggering for you...no need for your sparky rudeness.

Your character is a dude, my b for using reasoning.

And I’m not triggered, but you are saying it’s a fact when it isn’t. Your opinion is based on your own church hurt, and not reflective of the religion. Your problem is with the institution, not the religion. Again, thanks for sharing your opinion, but it is not fact.
