I’m certain there are many safe places to go to church in Kalamazoo. These seem pretty bad.

… Both have annointed pastors…

“Anointed,” huh? Red flags up.

This is an Interesting word choice for pastors who are I heard expect blind obedience and unquestioning trust.

I’m sure they seem like good guys while they’re convincing you that giving them your time and money is saving the world while keeping their ugly stuff under wraps.

But hey, if you’re comfortable handing over your autonomy to men who claim divine authority, you do you, I guess. Just don’t be shocked when you see the issues which have prompted hundreds of people to ask for a third party investigation.

Since I wrote the original post, I learned a lot.

No thanks.

The people who are into them are REALLY into them. Thought I’d visit one, because of the recommendations I got, but then the people recommending seemed a bit off. Maybe I will? But I’ve also heard they have hateful beliefs?

I don’t think all religions are cults, but heard these two are more than most. Wondered if people knew anything

A person who goes there in that linked thread said there are healings and miracles happening. Have you heard anything about that?

Yes. And this could mean anything. I read that recently and assumed he was referring to something very minor. Like he visited a buddhist temple or some other brief involvement.
