1. The daddy/founder displays his pictures on billboards, fliers etc.
Isaiah 42:8
2. There is segregation outlined by different types of seats provided- You may notice the seats differ in class from that of the daddy to yours, for instance.
James 2:2.
3. Control and power is centralised in one man or couple...who literally wield/Lord it over the rest.
Matt. 20:25-26, 1 Pet. 5:3
4. You are manipulated to believe you must pay certain amounts of money from your income...which they call tithes and firstfruits.
2 Pet. 2:3
5. They teach you that you can procure/receive favours and blessings of financial gains, jobs, marriage, children etc from God by giving them your money. They call these different names such as seed, raising altars, sacrifice, offering etc.
Acts 8: 20
6. There's no room to ask questions or query what you are being told by the daddy. He basically dictates his will to you all, and his word is literally law.
1 Pet. 5:3,
7. Your daddy and usually his wife are called by names that psychologically present them as superior to the rest of you.
Matt. 20: 25-26
8. Your money and resources is always flowing to this organisation or system you belong to.
9. There's always an activity or programme that keeps you drained physically and economically...leaving you little or no room to think and evaluate things, independently.
10. The financial system/ records and how it's controlled is not public...
Beloved...If this reads like where you presently call your "church", I have to let you know it doesn't represent the Church as instituted in the Bible.
You may derive some social fulfilment from belonging there- dress nice, see other faces, mingle in a nice or even luxurious environment...listen to an admixture of truth and lies called message, but that's it, and hardly anything spiritually more.
In most cases, you are just a number in the carefully orchestrated setup of man.
It has the similitude of spirituality- a building with a religious sounding name, religious music and appearances but the life of Christ is not there.
Fear not however...you will gradually know the truth, and you'd be free
Truth is not afraid...
