My wife and I went to this church several times when we first moved here but stopped going cause the vibes we got were strange. We’ve met several other younger Christian couples that had a similar experience here.
I started attending randomly last year and have gone roughly 10 times, I don't considered myself religious but my S.O. is and we both have been enjoying the experience. It seemed like a pretty loose group of young people, I'm curious what some of the red flags you observed were so I can reevaluate our Sunday mornings.
when are parents going to realize it could be massively abusive to send their children to an institution that demonizes non-binary genders & homosexuality, particularly if one of their children belongs to one of those groups?
So, this specifically is for Red Rocks Church. The tagged message clearly states Red Rock Church. It doesn’t really matter to me either way. I don’t follow religion. I’ve found it, historically, to be an excusable tool which can be used to kill a shit ton of people, for reasons that make no reason. The world is not black and white. I agree with having a moral compass, empathy, understanding, and compassion. But not at the lessons of a novel that isn’t even allowed to be completely in text because the church, pope, speaker of the house for God says so. One rule to live by. Don’t be an asshole.
Seems nauseatingly verbose but at least diplomatic, at least as far as some churches can be. Some can be genuinely mean and hate-filled, downing on trans and people they disagree with and so forth. Like the Westboro Baptists with “God Hates Fags,” “God Loves Dead Soldiers,” “God Hates You,” etc. signs.
I agree with your first statement but I disagree that water is wet. It makes things wet, yes, but it itself is just water. I wouldn’t say look at that wet water. I’d just say look at that water.
Every hierarchical system will have predators and psychos using it to take advantage of those below them. Churches are just one gross example that is all over the place and clear to see.
Yeah pretty much. The church I went to growing up called itself "an open church" but would teach that homosexuality is wrong and that god would sent gays to hell in our teen class.
This is very weird to me. I grew up semi-religious (not baptized nor church going outside of holidays, but both parents Catholic) and within the last few months have really developed a relationship under Christianity and started “sampling” non-denominational churches here, RRC being one of them but not where I stayed. I am in my early twenties, have met several people 20-30s from RRC, who to me as a newer and more private Christian seemed very normal from an outsider’s perspective.
I mean maybe this is true, maybe someone has strong but misguided feelings. We don’t know. I do know that many words that once had strong connotations have been watered down to mean “something I don’t like”. Maybe this is that.
Tabernacles = abusers Mosques = abusers See how gross this is? Stop it. If there’s abuse going on call it out obviously. But slandering peoples’ faith is bigoted and gross.
I hate to break this to you, but all Christian based churches run the same way an abusive husband runs. "You're nothing without me." "I can make or break you". "You should be happy your child is dead because they're in a better place". There are so many actual biblical quotes that if an abusive husband said this and it was used in court, he'd be royally screwed.
And now the Protestants are fighting interracial marriage, criminalizing abortion, abusing gay and trans people, teaching creationism, attacking birth control, lying about global warming, and starting global wars to steal oil and mineral rights because God told them to, so... how's that revolution working out?

I'm guessing it's about Red Rock Church, and the abusers therein
But do abusers equal red rock church?
👏
Thank you for your service.
Unrelated but that's quite a username.
Lol that would be too easy my friend, far too easy

Egregious use of double space between sentences
Damnnnn, thank you. Man I wish the Bible said Jesus was bisexual. Or a bi-woman. And I’m straight. I just want equal rights for all.
Out here doing the lord’s work.
But abuse is an action or inaction. This is a philosophy. Does anybody know of which action or inaction the person might have been referring to?
That didn't seem to be relevant to them being "abusers".

Oh shit that is my old job. The building not red rock church.
Same… still work for them but we closed both the old DCs.
George Carlin had some
This edit of his religion bits is just awesome.
Man, I really don't get the new math the kids are learning these days.
They're missing a second equals sign
word problems
Oh wow. Look at that. Another church being abusive. This is totally shocking. And definitely unsuspecting.
[удалено]
I mean, its a church, so 100% it harbors abusers.
Yeah but water isn't pretending to be dry
I agree with your first statement but I disagree that water is wet. It makes things wet, yes, but it itself is just water. I wouldn’t say look at that wet water. I’d just say look at that water.
100% huh? How in the fuck do you arrive at a world view this distorted?
It's a tag from their chief rivals, the Crippled Creek Church
To me looks like there some abusing going on at Red Rock Church
Aren't 'MOST' churches abusers, in some form or fashion?
That's like saying most jobs under capitalism are exploitative. Some are slavery, some are war crimes, some just lack healthcare benefits.

Can't find anything on it. Maybe they should have made a medium post rather than tagging a wall.

My "Red Rock Church = Abusers" graffiti has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my graffiti.
I think people are interested in the context behind the graffiti
I recognize the style. There’s a “Jesus Wept” one on spofford and oltorf

Fuck churches

Obviously it’s about red rock church being abusers
unsurprising that a church or Boy Scout troop is abusing people. history repeats itself.

There’s actually a lively debate about street art and what it’s meant to be.
Shining a light on abusers in positions of power is pretty cool in my book.
Doesn’t look like this particular comment covers any murals though?
I drive by this building all the time and have never seen any murals on it. Also, the

Nope, it's an objectively abusive, homophobic church. It's written in their documentation
good to know. this type of information is rarely mentioned on the local news.
Its a single phrase with zero context... How it that information?

i've never heard of red rock church before. thanks for posting, OP. if i ever meet someone who says they're a member i'll recognize the red flag.

God is a narcissistic abuser.
What a dumbass thread.
Churches are just centralized pockets of humans trying to control the narrative of the Christian faith, which is decentralized.
And now the Protestants are fighting interracial marriage, criminalizing abortion, abusing gay and trans people, teaching creationism, attacking birth control, lying about global warming, and starting global wars to steal oil and mineral rights because God told them to, so... how's that revolution working out?
ohhhh what happen here?
Y’all I don’t get it help me out
I’d take it a step further and paste copies of it all over that wall and spray paint the message over the copies. Leave no room for interpretation
By the looks of it… it looks like it’s about abusers? 🧐
