Hi all! I have been feeling very depressed lately. My son's become involved with Revival Fellowship. They come and take him to their church in Woodcroft every Sunday. He said he received a holy spirit last year and he spoke in tounges. He also goes to other meetings often and distributes door -to-door leaflets. We were baptised in another mainstream Christian church when he was three, but I never was a frequent church goer, mostly for christening or funerals. I actually always found it difficult to believe in the Bible, as I always prefered scientific explanations for everything in life. I have always been more of an agnostic. So it is a worry to listen to him when he tells me we come from Adam and Eve and I will burn in hell for not believing in Jesus as the only God. I am afraid I have been pushing him to study too much, and now he is at a uni, but also turning into a fanatic. As I understand for this church education is not a priority but serving God. He does not touch any alcohol, we had a wedding with my partner of 7 years last summer, he did not raise a glass to us even then. Also he stopped his bodybuilding exercises, and he lost weight. He said it distracts him from his faith. Also, he said - no sex before marriage even if he gets married at 30. He is a good looking guy but shy. I am absolutely devastated by his choice of religion. Why would he need to go into such extremes? No logic works for him anymore. I am becoming an atheist since I have been learning more about Christianity. The gap between us is growing. How do we get cult councelling? What else can I do?
