POSITIVELY YES!

World Harvest Church has changed from non denominational to becoming the world empire of Pentecostalism via the egoistic Parsley bunch.

As someone who is a devout follower of Christ, I can can tell you from experience, World Harvest Church does not represent the totality of Jesus.

It is an organization founded by the Parsley family and kept secretive by them. The fundraising is questionable. The teaching and attitude of the people are estranged from full scripture teaching. They are totally dependent upon one man (Parsley) to bless them. The services are like a Hollywood set with a bunch of brainwashed fanatics.

The church never provides financial statements or proof of legitimacy for the mission work like the Samaritans Purse or other accountable 501 c3 organizations do.

The people or friends will disassociate themselves with you if you are not part of their circle.

I've been to two services this year 2011 and the following are real events that happened:

1. Parsley was on stage laying hands on the choir singers, when he looked at a girl (she looked down like she was nervous) Parsley told her not to look away from him while he was looking at her, that there is blessing in my eyes and cursing in my frown. Wow! I was so shocked to here such a thing from a pastor.

2. I attended with my children, when Parsley was wanting his ushers to hand out oil vials (with his picture on them) for the followers. Upon his anger of the sluggish distribution, Parsley grabbed the vials of oil from the boxes and started throwing them at people in the audience.

That was it for me!

Is the evangelical presbyterian church a cult?

No, the Evangelical Presbyterian church is not a cult. A cult usually is defined as having a single, living leader with a strong, magnetic personality and absolute authority over his (nearly always a man) followers. The Evangelical Presbyterian church is a fairly typical Protestant church of the Reformed Tradition with emphasis on personal salvation through a born-again experience. Just as significantly, Evangelical Presbyterians reject what they view as the "liberal" elements in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) such as ecumenism and tolerance of diverse theological opinions.


Is Mormonism a dangerous cult or just a sick religion?

Neither. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is no more a cult than any other religion. It is not typically regarded as 'mainstream', but there is nothing about the conduct of the Church or it's members that is cause to say it is a cult or 'sick'.
