My local congregation has had quite afew that left come back in recent years. Many left looking for a more modern style, but missed the family aspect of the ACC. Many I have talked to said that they enjoyed the modern worship services, but there was very little connection between people in those churches.

Who can stand Janko to him and his evil intentions? He's a terrible man inside out. Tries to act like someone important.european Elders are sick of him making trouble and spreading lies. And so are american Elders.what does God hate the most..a brother making discord among brethren. That is what he is doing and people in melbourn are just fed up with him!

Proverbs 6

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.



note:
- the first thing is "A PROUD LOOK" (there is a reason for it)

Almost all of the young people from Vista ACCN have left. And it's for a myriad of reasons. But for me, it was a mixture of (in no particular order of importance) 1) people never respecting when I choose to wear a mask, 2) the rabid, prevalent antivax messages that the leaders refuse to address, 3) the refusal to follow government regulations regarding COVID (when we had them), 4) the insistence that tradition is just as important as scripture, 5) the silly little things such as "you can never listen to modern Christian music, it's all satanic" that are prevalent, and 6) the church elders tend to bow down and succumb to the will of the elderly people. The Bible says to value their opinion greatly, but not to the point that you basically ignore everyone else's will most of the time.

I would never publish poisonous comments about Church of God. The Church of God belongs to God only. We can exchange opinions and experiences but in fear of God and to His Glory only.If you are believer don't mud reputation of Church, if you are not believer you have no right to "preach". Please!

take heed to these

revelation ch 3 verse 2
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

jude ch 1 verse 23
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

"Concerned", catholics also call their church the only true church of God, and yet, we all know there are many cases of child abuse there, so what do you think, is that something that should be debated in public, or maybe kept in secret?

So what would your debating achieve or help the ones that have been hurt? It will further place more stress on them. There are professionals who can deal in helping those who have been affected, not some off the cuffs remarks made by unprofessional and often ignorant writers on this site, including the moderator, who is not qualified in this field of counseling. Is it just for amusement? Do not do that to people.

You got it all wrong. This website is about exposing the abusers, not about counseling their victims.

I left the ACCN for many reasons, but one of the main ones is how the church is so closed off, even to nonmembers who have grown up in the church. I remember we used to have closed greetings, which always bothered me because why would you distrust the nonmembers so much to not even let them stay in for greetings. Then you had to the walk of shame on the way out. I also saw someone be approached about a family member of their leaving the church, and I saw that person *in the middle of the lobby* get verbally assaulted by that person. I nearly stepped in and gave him a piece of my mind. How can you judge someone for leaving the ACCN? It is not always God's will for someone to go the same church for the rest of their life. The ACCN is not the only church going to heaven, and it should be up to the member if they want to take communion with another church, or go to another church in general, and there should be no judgement simply because somebody does one of those. They say that while it is not a sin inherently to go to another church, or take communion, but the church policies regarding members doing that only reflects the opposite. Also, once I started going to another church, it made me sure that I can never go back to the ACC, because since I was baptized in that other church, I knew I'd need to be baptized in the ACCN if I wanted to come back, but in my interpretation biblically speaking, the 1st baptism is the only one that matters, so I don't need to or want to be re-baptized.
