Review for Christian Spirit Inc, Pepperell, MA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

The proprietor of this business, Terry Smith, considers himself a minister yet has no record of attending any divinity school. His church (I call it a cult) The Open Door Christian Fellowship compels its members to shun family and friends who do not worship they way that they do. They are a divisive element in the families of their members. All of their teachings are drawn from the Old Testament of the Bible and they live in constant fear that Armageddon is just around the corner. Their God is a fierce and unforgiving God. He is not the God of the true Christians who show love, compassion, tolerance and forgiveness to their fellow man. Whatever doctrine this cult follows and the way the members interact with others is in stark contradiction with the lessons that Jesus taught mankind during the short while that He walked among us.
As I looked into this so-called "church", one thing struck me more than their twisted interpretation of Scriptures. That is the fact that other churches in the same town and surrounding towns have very little knowledge of who they are and what they do. The Open Door Christian Fellowship is not what the name implies. They are closed to anyone who would question their beliefs and are not a "fellowship" at all. They are a cult.
Before donating to the Christian Spirit, check out Terry Smith's other venture, the Open Door Christian Fellowship. I am confident that you can find a real charitable organization that actually does good for others rather than exist in isolation from those they pretend to reach out to.
