I am a member of Holy Trinity Brompton, where NIcky GUmbels preaches. I can tell you quite honestly that behind the scenes the knives are out. They are such control freaks. People who disagree are punished by being excluded from all social events, and can even be surrounded by bullies and physically removed.
The real church does not have hierarchy - there is no abuse of power - as there is at HTB
@sweetsweatyfeet Are you serious? She said her husband was abusing her, maybe not physically but mentally. She says he wasn't a nice person. The course was a life changing for both her and her husband. Believer or not it can't be denied that people who find faith and really take hold of it are able to change their lives dramatically.
IF he was abusing her (which she claims), I'm not defending that, but...
She ALSO said "he wasn't coming the the Lord on is own" and that he must take the Alpha course or she would divorce him. So he must be a Christian or she will divorce? Who is she to dictate her spouse's religious beliefs?
THAT sounds very much like religious intolerance to me.
I hear your take on it. Perhaps she should not have married him in the first place? It's pretty important to be on the same page with faith amongst other matters when choosing a life partner. I for one am open to other people's beliefs but that doesn't mean I would want to be married to someone who didn't share my religous beliefs.

Sounds you are intolerant of nonbelievers. Why can't you allow people to have their beliefs (or lack thereof)?
