However, her big mistake was her fiancee was attending a seminary to become a Methodist pastor. The pastor's wife counseled her to end the relationship because she was entering an "unequally yoked" marriage. Plus, and here is the kicker her fiancee would lead her astray from the true faith with all his book learning. To her credit she stood up, told the pastor's wife where to stick it and never came back. I left within six months.

I also followed the teachings a UK based deliverance ministry and listened to some Word of Faith stuff. I came across the following:*Virtually all Christians need deliverance and the breaking of curses, including generational curses*Christians from mainstream denominations may be influenced by "a spirit of religion" preventing them from entering into "all that God has for them"*Carnal mind versus spiritual*Breaking of negative soul ties i.e. so-called spiritual links between close friends or lovers*Prayer walks*Attempting to control the weather through supernatural means*"Falling under the power"*Deliverance manifestations - screaming, convulsing, vomiting up demons*Toronto Blessing/Pensacola*Naming and Claiming - "you can have what you say"*Prophecy and Words of Knowledge*Shepherding Movement...to mention just a few. I came across anti-intellectualism, elitist attitude, dualism and superstition. The whole thing had a bad effect on me and harmed rather than benefited by faith.

That even happened in people's private yards and to their own signs!!!! There were many complaints from Democrats in this county that all of their signs were trashed- in some cases repeatedly when the people replaced them! They even caught a team of "Young Christians" going around and destroying Democratic political signs in the county east of us- they'd destroyed over a thousand Democrat signs!! I saw only ONE Democrat sign throughout the whole election- it was behind a fence with barbed-wire top and locked gate!)Oh, and I might add that in this county, the Repugs won with a supermajority.
