>Quaker Meeting/church
-No preaching people just start talking when they feel moved to.
-No mention of Jesus or the Apostles
-Mainly just old people talking about their feelings on the homophile referendum and other political things between large blocks of silence
Felt like a clubs for hippies
>Some strange baptist church that made a big deal out their pastor being a surfer
-KJV Only
-obsessed with evolution, Darwin, Sigmund Freud and fluoridation of water
Felt a tad culty and almost overcompensating,
>Catholic Church
-All in Latin and effectively just repeating words from a little book with only a about 15 minutes of preaching.
Very beautiful singing an incense however it felt very mechanical.
>Mormons
-3 hours (1 in service one for classes and another for specific classes/meetings)
-Sermons consist of a number of the laity/missionaries giving a talk about set topics/themes
-they take communion whilst seated and with water instead of wine.
-Always refer to God the Father as heavenly father
-Places a lot of emphasis on personal testimonies (that are constantly repeated)
-Best choirs
-Ideas and teachings which sound innocent but are literally satanic when you consider the implications.
>IFB
- Extremely bible focused and passionate
-Took the great commission seriously
-Preaching that wasnt afraid
- Great music and hymns
-Their once saved always saved doctrine was more complicated that it seemed on face value.
-Kinda scared me a bit when they talked about how salvation can become impossible even if you believe in Christ if you reject God too often before that point.
