No surprise there. Feminism has crept into our churches in a big way. The more progressive, the more feminist. It's incredibly sad.

This is "The Way (of abundance and power)"
Total bat shit crazy. I met some of their flock when I moved to a city for my job. Seemed warm and welcoming until I joined them for their regular service in some member's living room.
Total creep vibe, I bailed out after their intermission when I came across this link looking them up in the bathroom

They hassled me to come back for months and wanted me to pay for their courses for living right. Poor girl that they made the point of contact even told me how they groomed her to take a certain job, live at a specific complex, and even flirt with me to try and get me to come back.
This 'church' is nuts
This is what happens at black churches, it's how the left guilt trips them into staying on the plantation

Unfortunately most of the mainline Protestant, and now evangelical, churches have been poisoned by whole feminist agenda. Unless one wants to start a trad home church, or to go over to either a traditional Orthodox Christian or pre-Vatican II/Latin Mass Roman Catholic church, I don't know what sort of options one might have to find a faith community not swallowing all this junk...?

I've made the jump from Protestant to Catholic. I know there are a few radical parishes, but not mine. Last month they had a mother of 11 children (all under 14 years of age) stand up and share her testimony during announcements before Mass. Tradlife is still very much sacred and taught in Catholicism. I'm going through the Right of Christian Intitation class right now (a year long course where you meet once a week after reading hours of Catholic doctrine and the Bible to join the church) and they have entire sessions devoted to the institution of marriage. Also their are several people in my class who were previously married and now divorced. In order to be accepted into the church they have to go through annulment counseling. It's a long drawn out process. It seems in light of the deconstruction of secular marriage most Catholic churches are doubling down on tradlife. Unfortunately, you never hear about THAT in the news. Instead the media wants to focus on abuse allegations that happened decades ago from a system that vetted its priests in a laxadasical manner that was retired years ago. Our Mnsr gave a nice homely on this last Sunday. He walked everyone through the process of what it took to become a Priest and what it takes now. Tons of background checks, witness references. Priests can't even go to any student event in the community now without a signed document from the archdiocese saying they have passed all background checks. He can't even do a funeral service he said without that letter. So a lot has changed. I digress...anyhow.

The Mormons have good things to speak of as well. I particularly respect how they're to have at least a year's worth of emergency food storage in case of disaster, injury, or job loss, especially important if you have children. But the secrecy and vows and Freemasonry influences and elevating other doctrine instead of the Word of God must rule it out of consideration. When I considered the Catholic Church when I was looking into Christianity, I found videos explaining objections to it. Anyway, consider doing an image search for Vatican serpent building.
I'm not just addressing you when I say it's important to know the Bible if you want to attend a church so you know whether the preacher is working in false doctrine.

This is worse than the churches that serve craft beer during worship...

Well there are Litanies in the Catholic church, but I think there are only 7 sanctioned by the church that has taken THOUSANDS of years to develop and NONE of them are influenced by current event pop culture references.

I fear it is my civic duty to report that I was raped by Sharon R. Fennema.
