Must be some evangelical sect... yeah, I've become convinced that there is becoming less and less of a difference between religion and a cults. End of the day, if you can leave without consequences it's a religion... if you can't, it's a cult no matter how big it is...

It's my understanding that the Borg never puts any specific allegations in writing, including any official notice of one's being disfellowshipped. Gotta have that plausible deniability, ya know...

What the fuck other church does this loony shit? I thought it was just the watchtower (and maybe some Mormon churches). I have lots of couple friends who live together (not married) and whom happily attend local churches with zero issues.

Church of Christ, apparently. I didn’t know they were on the JW level of nonsense. I’m doubtful they take shunning to quite the level JWs do either.

Let me clarify, yet again, what is shown in the tweet is not Christianity. It is almost certainly some flavor of conservative, fundamentalist, evangelical Christianity with is about as far from what Jesus intended as one can get.
