[quote=DarkwolfX37] Eeeeeh. It's sorta more about being told a specific interpretation of a book and ingraining co-dependency/pseudo-familial relationships with those who share your local area. Didn't yoshua say something along the lines of "you should only worship in private by yourself"? [/quote] Nope. Something similar, but not the word "only." Hebrews 10:25 states "Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing."
