"Well meant"...

...is the opposite of "well made"

Did you ever hear that statement?

For a start:
- noble intentions are not what bring us into the Kingdom of God. Christ does.
- Willfully following a system of corruption is as good as being corrupt yourself, even if the best intentions are behind it.
- Sacrificing many things to adhere to such a system doesn't make the sacrifice acceptible in the sight of our Lord; sacrifices brought when the Lord demands them will be rewarded, but sacrifices brought forth at the whim of a fallen human being have no spiritual significance.
- Devoting every minute to read the Word doesn't mean anything, if it were so, the Pharisees would have been SO blessed by God. Think for yourselves, what kind of judgment did Jesus speak on them?
- Can a person who is "pure in heart" support a corrupt system? How "pure" do you have to be to participate in, or cover up, sinful behaviour which is partaking in the group you associate yourself with?
- if love that begins and ends at the doorstep of the local chapter's center (i.e. when you first come there, and when you decide to leave for good) is "genuine", then please tell me what conditional love is, on the contrary?

In Christ,
Mike K.
