We Are The CCCW Borg

When I attended CCCW, Life at Christian City Church felt like I was being assimilated.

We are the Borg. Lower your shields, and surrender your ship. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. Resistance is futile.

Just think about it for a moment. Christian City Church Whitehorse (I'd assume other CCC Churches do the same) run a lot of courses. EG - Connection Groups, Bible study Groups, Prayer Groups, Stepping Forward Groups the list goes on.

Could these Christian City Church groups be interpreted as a form of brain washing...

Take a look at any web site that describes cult churches or church sects and the common denominator is followed by the question...How much influence or control does the Church have on your life?

Of course I can only comment on what I experienced, but, there was always a constant push for me to take part in groups, courses and what not throughout the week at CCCW. There was also a constant push for one to get baptised.

Considering that I'd actually been baptised when I was baby didn't count in the eyes of Christian City Church. I always found that statement rather bizarre. Because unlike the self awarded titles of Rev. and Minister that seem to be flung around Christian City Churches, I was actually baptised by a real ordained Minister, who held a real University doctorate in Theology.

As far as I'm concerned a Pastor is not a Reverend or a Minister.

Using titles such as this, probably gives people (who are unaware) the impression that they hold a university degree in Theology & have been ordained in a mainstream church.

Have any Pastors of the Christian City Church movement been ordained in a mainstream church...Some good food for thought!
