EXAMPLES 1Brian says, “my family was in a nationwide school and ministry group, the leader of which believed that the wearing of blue jeans gave the impression of rebellion. (Nothing says rebellion like jeans! No think about this, in the 60s, people started wearing jeans and now we have terrorism…cause & effect!)

It goes on to say that the men shouldn't have facial hair. For some of us, its impossible. Rob’s mom was a Wooki, his Dad was a Chia pet, He shaves in the morning, by dinner time he could be in Zztop! Theres nothing he can do about that!

Another big one is that women shouldn't wear pants. One women said she walked into a church wearing pants and the usher stopped her and said, “Women are not suppose to wear pants!” So for fun she grabbed her belt, says, “OK...” He says, “Well next time you should wear a shirt,” okay, alright.

Adrian says “I grew up in a church that focused a lot on what people looked like, I actually remember my Sunday school teacher bringing a brown, paper bag into class one morning. She pulled out an apple and an orange and asked us if we could tell the difference between the two. Of coarse we said yes, she then proceeded to tell us how likewise, you could tell if someone is a Christian in the same way.” By what, pulling them out of a bag?

Kara says “we were not allowed to wear black Pollos at our private school, any other colors were okay but not black because if you wear black you love the devil.” All the black kids were totally bummed, ahh...

Racheal says “I remember a church where they didn't let boys and girls swim together because the girls could get pregnant.” Thats not how it happens.

Jeff says “A lady came to a pastor friend of mine and requested pray for another lady. My surprised friend replied “Wow, I just spoke with her and she seemed just fine. What’s going on?” The lady said “well I don't think she is saved.” My friend is now really confused and asks, “What makes you think that? She seems to show good fruit here in the church.” The lady responded, “Well I just found out that she is a registered Democrat, and I just don't see how you can be both a Democrat and a Christian.”

Kassie says “I have a friend whose parents won't let her go Trick-or-Treating because it was Satan's birthday…and then they had a baby born on Halloween!” You can see God in Heaven saying, “Seriously, you gotta come watch this…it’s going to be fantastic!” You can see that woman like “Ahhh!!” trying not to have that baby.

Ashely says, “My best friend's mother-in-law wouldn't let my friend, the bride, dance at her own wedding reception because they did not believe in dancing, not even slow dancing and it made the bride cry.” This is the religious mom coming up: “You cannot dance with my son, it could lead to SEX “ DUH! We just got married, that’s what we were hoping

Here's a kid Josh, who says “There's this 7th Day Adventist kid at my school who says that he will go to Hell if he eats shrimp. So when we have it for hot lunch, he gives it away.” Now just think about that…Apparently he doesn't care if other people go to Hell.

"Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them. "So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs. "For this reason also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.' "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering." Luke 11:47-52

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
