A year ago in my Cong, an Elder who must be Hitler's love child, gets up and tells us how some Brothers are planning a fancy dress party, a large social gathering. Sounds fun I though! "Brothers a sincere Christian would not attend such a gathering, we are warning you not to go near it." What ever happened to "not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together" {Only at meetings?} Who died and made then Jesus?
How dare they use the hall to voice thier own opinions. Which bible text did he have in mind. Gather-rinthians 5;19 "Abstain from blood, and large social gatherings, and fornication.which shall follow." WHAT HAPPENS TO WITNESSES AT LARGE GATHERINGS? I mean does it turn into a drunken sex orgy? What about our Christian trained conscience that we spend so much time on. Why not ban T.V and Playstation 3, and drinking booze?
