10. It always is bad when a church deceives and goes full out for the "scare" factor.

Back when I was 11 or 12 years old, a local movie theater advertized a "motorcycle action" movie.
Free!

Us kids were eager to see it.

Turned out to be one of those lurid "Endtimes" movies, and after they had a fire-and-brimstone preacher.
And they wouldn't let us leave.

Parents raised a stink, but the church (one of those traveling ones,) never did admit doing anything wrong, naturally.

Several years later I saw in the news the church group had broken apart, due to a sex and money scandal.

Good.

I hope this indictment ends up with the head pastor and that "youth pastor" going to jail, and that church closing up due to bankruptcy from parents' lawsuits.
