I grew up in Christian church (protestant denomination), it has been already like 10 years since I got out of her.
Recently I have been having suspicions on the great degree of evil performed on these spiritually dark places, and I believe my suspicions haven't been so out of reality.
Here is a quote from part 10 of the lake of fire series;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE THRONE AND SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN LOCATED
The truth is that Smyrna and Philadelphia each had the same giant spiritual weaknesses. And what is true for one and two is also true for all.
SMYRNA: "…I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN" (Rev. 2:9.)
PHILADELPHIA: "Behold, I will make them of THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN, which say they are Jews and are not" (Rev. 3:9.)
We are to come out of carnality and be converted, and become spiritual Jews, a people who truly worship (give thanks, laud, and praise) God IN SPIRIT.
So if one has religion, but is not converted, what is he? The Scriptures plainly tell us that he is a member of "THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN."
WHERE IS THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN?
The synagogue of Satan is located in the churches—in The Church!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I am just talking my mind now, since I got out of Church, I used to believe that the church only had some theology problems for lack of study and because of their sponsorship to a denomination, and I thought they where just places of well intended people ignorantly playing church while usually trying to be good family members, good citizens and good parishioner.
I haven't make a deep study on what I am about to say, but my lately suspicions are that Churches are
sects, where you can find magic, hypnotism, mind control, persuasive propaganda--shameless emotional
manipulation (through clever speech, music, social pressure), satanic rituals, psychological coercion, outright lies,
brazen deception to get money from members, and I am sure you can add to this list.
If somebody thinks my suspicions are way out of line, let me know. If somebody thinks alike and know more about some point I have mentioned and would like to confirm my suspicious, let me know. If somebody would like to add to the list... just do it.

I wouldnt say your suspicions are way out of line but I will say that they dont apply to all churches. I go to a church that is a bunch of well intentioned people who, I believe, are just following the beliefs and traditions as they've been handed down. I honestly dont think many people in my church have ever even thought to ask an interesting question regarding contradictions in what they believe. I think they've been brain washed (as we ALL have been at one time) to think that if they just believe and dont question, then that is evidence of their strong faith. But I wouldnt say theres any satanic occult, magic, or trickery going on... Just ignorance and lazy thinking/reasoning and fear of doubting the institution. We've all been there.
One of my points when starting this thread is that there are rituals being performed in the Church which are of Satan, or better said; rituals that Satan use to keep us away of spiritual matters of truth. Now I am going to prove farther this point for clarification. Think about this, if certain rituals are constantly performed in a Masonic church, this rituals are called masonic rituals. If certain rituals are constantly performed in the synagogue of Satan, then, how can you name this rituals?
Talking about rituals I will quote Ray saying:
You do all these things and you will be a holy person, it will just make your heart so wonderful? But what it does is it makes hypocrites and heretics out of people…
If you don’t see that, you are just spinning your wheels in physical rituals. You don’t get any more obnoxious than holier than thou, seventh day Sabbath keepers and holy sacred name societies. Maybe it’s a secret handshake, it’s like you belong to the Masons and you get a secret handshake and your in, you see. It’s total nonsense.
Usually we get scared about what we don't understand. Satan is just a spirit that is God's lackeys, as we can see it in the book of job, and if we have the spirit that comes from God we have nothing to be afraid about. If we presently find ourselves in a spiritual war fare; I don't think that having in mind this information is useless.
If somebody thinks I being irrationally harsh with the Church institution, just point out one of the points of my list (which are placed on the begining of this thread) and prove it wrong, is that simple, there is no need for hard feelings. On the other hand, I understand how it's hard sometimes to separate what we know to be truth about the Church from our merciful feelings toward those that have been deceived by the Church. But when I started this thread I did said: ''Most of the things on the list are performed by the church leaders, they are the ones more accountable.'' and I stand on it.
And if somebody thinks I am harsh with church leaders, here is what Ray said about them on ("Hell is a Christian Hoax"),
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus calls these leaders of the Church, "angels of the Devil," "the children of their father the Devil." The Apostle Paul calls them "Satan's ministers."
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works" (II Cor. 11:15).
Let's take off the blinders and see who these "angels of the Devil" really are:
You are now looking at cartoon/caricatures of the
"angels of the Devil." There are millions of them, and
like Bill Wiese, they have been "deceiving the whole world."
(PLACE FOR THE IMAGE)
God calls them: Priests, Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Shepherds,
Watchmen, Teachers, Evangelists, & Ministers, but collectively they
are the "angels & ministers" of Satan.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying that all Christian Ministers are the Devil's Angels, but those that are the Devil's angels are ministers and leaders in the Christian Church. There is no other group that can be called "many" which do "many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus" except teachers and ministers in the Christian Church. It is impossible to even conceive of a single non-Christian who would do "many wonderful works," and do them "in the Name of Jesus." So where would one find "MANY" non-Christians who do "many wonderful works" in the "Name of Jesus?"
I will not use real photos of real Christian leaders, as it is not my responsibility to judge any specific Church leaders. But we are admonished: "...by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince [expose] the gainsayers [those who contradict sound doctrine]" And so, I am exposing this unscriptural and evil Christian doctrine of an eternal hell and those who teach it.
No Christian who has studied the Scriptures and been gifted with even a meager understanding, should be blown away by this revelation regarding the deception of Church leaders. God has always held His church leaders and spiritual guides responsible for the failures in the Church and in the nation. It is shocking when one first reads of God's condemnation of the leaders in His Church.
