You're so full of crap. Has to be a typo, the truth is, it took you a while to find one that would put up with you.lol
Nuts exist everywhere.
I dated a girl, for a very short time, was a 7th Day Adventist. Her Mom would make the toughest, plantation overseer seem lax. All the girl could talk about was getting married and moving away.
New some Mormons that were extremely controlling. Same with Pentecostal.
Had some Assembly of God neighbors, had 7 kids, 5 girls. My daughter thought they were Amish, the way the girls dressed.
Can't label ALL because of a few.
“Messianic”… basically 7th day Adventist type extreme Christianity with a bunch of Old Testament Judaism mixed in. Think David Koresh/branch davidian type deal, without the cool stuff like compounds and weapons lol. We ain’t talkin’ about some normie life church christians here
Catholics can marry non-Catholics, no problem, but marrying outside the Church puts them outside of communion with the Church and its teachings. Doing so is bound to cause problems except with those who take whatever religion only nominally, if at all.
I know a few people that left the Maranatha Church in Bethany, 7800 nw 36th. Bad juju from what I'm told.
Non-religious folks can do whatever the hell we want. It took me damn near thirty more years to realize that all religions want to dictate to people how they can live.
She was a nice girl, she just got raised in a cult and her mom was a punt. Her dad was a nice guy with no testicles. I wouldn't trade my current wife for anything, but wife #1 was a good chick. I like to think about her mom remembering me doing awful things to her daughter. I hope her imagination exceeds my actual molestations. Yeah, parents that treat their kids like that deserve to be tormented.
Another reason? What other reason(s) do you have?
What I was told was similar to the review left by one person who left. Lot's of isolation
"The pastor continues to stray further and further from Biblical truth and due to the cult-like culture of the church the congregation continues to become more and more isolated. The pastor lacks any sort of accountability and therefore tends to stray further and further from sound theology. His heresies cover things like teaching the earth is flat accoring to scripture and claims about when the world will end. (2021 apparently) There is a complete lack of true Biblical love and compassion and an extremely antagonistic perspective when it comes to fellow Christians who don’t attend their church. They expect isolation, so if you buy into their system you will be required to limit contact with your family and any friends who don’t attend the church. The Bible isn’t taught here so if you are looking for a church in Bethany, look someplace else."
In 1970, I married a Navy Girl from Oklahoma who was a Hospital Corpswave. I came from NY and she came from a Farming/Ranching family. We’re still together. I was 23 and she was 19. Neither of us had been married before. We lived in NYC from 1971to 1977 and she liked it; I didn’t. We moved to a place in rural Pittsburg County in 1977 and stayed there until 2020 when we moved to a rural property in S.E. Alabama. The country people here are almost indistinguishable from those in Oklahoma. We still own the 40 acre property and our old home in Pittsburg Count and our troubled 48 y.o. stays there with us paying the taxes, electric, propane, trash removal and insurance. We must be crazy…..
