Before I start this let me say that I don't know much about your doctrine. I will say that your members are always saying "I'll pray for you" and that many are very involved in the church. What my understanding is that there was a member of your church who is sixteen and as many of our youth are unfortunately doing these day was involved in a sexual relationship with a boy and was forced at sixteen to marry this boy because of church doctrine. Other question is, why is you youth leader so incredibly happy about being pregnant at 18 and unmarried. The members I have dealt with personally are very "religious" in public but behave very hateful and deceitful in their private lives. Where is the Christ in your church? Where is the peaceful heart that should come with truly having Christ lead your life? Why is it so important to these people I have dealt with to always be in control of the situation, even when it hurts others?

The leadership of your church needs to gain control and possibly explain that God sees your heart and He doesn't like the darkness.
