What is the shadiest thing your church does?

Mine would definitely be raffles. Never saw a raffle where someone who’s tied to the pastor didn’t win the grand prize. He would not win but his cousin, neighbor, choir lead, etc would get the nod. Church has 100 people so don’t seem right

My pastor’s plumber randomly found hundreds of thousands of dollars in the walls of the church once. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways but we are blessed beyond measure.

Have sex with little boys and covered it up by sending priests to different areas to do same thing over and over

The pastor at the last church I attended basically had the church build a plant church just so his son could become pastor there and they only met on Sunday evenings. No Sunday mornings which is really odd.

Which leads me to my next point of how the pastor created this facade of needing to split off into two separate services at our church because we were “running out of room” which was a lie. He even went as far as to add chairs to end of pews and told his grandkids and their friends to sit there to make it look full in the church. Anyways - he splits off into two separate services needlessly and lo and behold his son becomes pastor of the new Contemporary service on Sunday mornings at our church. There was no logic or thought process behind it. Especially considering when churches usually have two services they are at different times. Nope these were both at the same time. One in the gym and one in the sanctuary.

Allows openly gheys, drunkards, crooks, and other sinners to attend church on Sunday morning, but can't join the church unless they repent and believe.

Talks a big game about sanctification, but doesn’t require anything of anyone.

I went to a church where the “mission trip” was to Hawaii. I have no clue what they did, but they sure took a lot of beach pics.

Then yours would be claiming it was a church.

first of all if someone is unable to profess belief in the tenets of the sect no church is letting them be a member. thats normal.

letting reprobates hear the gospel also seems normal.

How about church visitor cards? We’re brought up to not give out sensitive information online or to strangers, but the church wants to know your name, address, phone number, kids names and ages, occupation, etc… on your first visit.
You might as well write in your social, bank routing and PIN number too.

Not shady, just creepy and offensive. It does a Judgment House at Halloween, which is a Christian haunted house about the fires of Hell. It's very popular.

They've also gotten big into Christian Nationalism. I don't go any more.
