    GRM is a Christian ministry that requires all residents to work for them without pay for “six hours a day, six days a week in exchange for a bunk for 30 days.” They also cannot look for outside work during that month. That’s not all though. They must also attend church every Sunday (from a pre-approved list); Unitarian services are not acceptable. And they have to attend a chapel service twice a day. And they can’t smoke or drink. And they can’t have sex during their stay

    So it’s a cult. Why are cults allowed to pull crap like this? This kind of thing should be prosecuted.

      Don’t do that. They’re Christians because they said so, there is no standard or membership card. To act like the bad ones aren’t “real Christians” is a cop out and ignores the problems within your religion. Own it, fix it, re-educate your fellow believers, don’t act like they’re not real and sweep them under the rug.
