Some good points! Actually we have talked to the Pastor about this and he agreed entirely. In fact he wrote a letter to the head of the CCC who replied understanding the concerns. The Pastor has since left. We do in fact at the moment cheerfully give our tithes directly to the Pastor or speaker or to other separate expenses.
Also, it is not so much what the Catholics did to Christians as it is the commands to be separate and come out from among them (which includes false religion).
I'm really not trying to justify my views on this, but trying to get a feel for what other Christians think on this issue, and perhaps many people have not even heard about this yet.
