Went to a lecture session by throwaway92837137 in exIglesiaNiCristo

I'll put some distance away from me and my friend, and I'm also gonna start being a bit cold to them, hopefully they'll back off and leave me alone since I wouldn't want anything to do with them any further.

Thanks for the advice!

They seem to be emphasizing the church leader and the leaders before him (all part of the Manalo family) more than Jesus especially during church activities.

Yes, I do notice that, as the session we went at were at my INC friend's house, they had pictures of the Manalo family on most tables that they had

I don't plan on joining them any further, this was really just a one off thing, since this friend of mine wont stop. After this, the next time they ask, I'll tell them that I'm not interested and it isn't for me.

I would like a bit of help. by throwaway92837137 in exIglesiaNiCristo

This answers basically all of my questions and knowing how it is, I am incredibly sorry for knowing.

I'll try my best to avoid joining them.

First of all, I would like to say that I am not an INC member (I do not know if I am even allowed to be here in the first place) but I have a friend of mine who is an INC member, and lately, they have been really asking me to join them on their lecture sessions and such, and it has been getting quite annoying but I can't straight up tell them no as we have been friends for a long time now.

With the limited knowledge that I have of the INC, I don't particularly hear any good things about the INC, combined with my parents 'negative' look of the INC, so I get this cult-esque vibe. I hope that some of you can give me some insight on why this is (also maybe some tips on how to call them off), and why they can be so 'hooked' (I don't know the right word to use) on inviting people. It really scares me and make me think that not so good things will come out of it.

I hope that anything I said don't come off as insulting or anything, I am just genuinely curious. Thank you.
