[quote=@HaleyTheRandom] The thing that get's me is "don't read your Bible - too much..." and "We don't celebrate Christmas." Maybe there's a reason behind it, but all of the Churches and Christians that I have ever met are overjoyed for Christmas and are hardly ever seen without and/or reading their Bible. Just kinda puzzles me. [/quote] Simples it be. Control. Pure control. They want people to read and interpret it as they see and they see only. If they left people to peruse it endlessly unsupervised they likely find many loop holes in there practices, especially regarding potentially marriages and other areas. The cult is only as strong as it's control of the weakest members. The basis of propoganda is information control and manipulation.
