I found a quote from some German reformer I've never heard of before and its been living rent free in my head. He said "preach the gospel, die, and be forgotten" it sounds extreme, but its a sort of extreme that the world could need a lot of nowadays.

One of the churches I went to did not pay anyone in the church, except the cleaning lady. No ministers, elders, Sunday school teachers, anyone was paid for doing things. People could be reimbursed for things like church trips, food ect., but no paid positions. That church had the closest body of believers, the most love for one another and the most bought in I’ve ever encountered. Churches are run like businesses now and that totally changes things. I even remember having a key to the church before I was 20, because all of the members could have one, because we were so involved in dropping things off for everything like eating together to doing community/world relief. It was an amazing time in my life and I miss it so much.

At the core, narcissism is idolatry. It is self worship.

My grandmother is 100 years old and she refuses to clap for the singers in her church. I understand how she feels. Call it old school but I love it

Visited a church in Helena, Montana that when the congregation outgrew the building, a new church congregation was made with their own church building, own Pastor, elders...could be across town. They loved "birthing" new congregations. Evangelism worked and the first church never got to the point of megachurch. I liked this system.

I’m so relieved to know I’m not crazy and that it was spiritual abuse. Trying to heal…

That was amazing! From Mormonism to New Age to NRA and now safe in Jesus alone, I found this healing and validating.
