[quote=Anonymous]I am at a weird crossroads of sorts. I joined a non-denominational church as soon as I turned 18. I was young and impressionable and came from a Catholic family. I have now come to understand that the church I spent decades at preaches the Prosperity gospel. The Pastors have the luxury cars, they have a private plane but they have no connection to the thousands that attend services under them. They push tithe and offering and giving financially for Pastor wedding anniversaries and birthdays. Now, I question what role an actual Pastor should have in my life. I’m also questioning what denomination fits with my beliefs vs. those beliefs instilled at this church. I want to continue to seek a religious or spiritual path but without a formal leader. Are there faiths, churches, that believe in Jesus but do not rely on a person - Pastor, Reverend, etc.. for salvation and making it to heaven? Is this a trauma response in that I can’t trust a leader because of my terrible experience?[/quote]
