If you cannot come right out and condemn that idolatry and spit it out then that would be your camel. And if you condemn them then you are in the same space as me, only you draw the line in a different spot.
Which is it?

Since you brought up the subject, who are "the many on this forum" standing up for "churches" that embrace idolatry?
But LSM loves to twist their definition of "idols" to condemn all other Christians. There was a time when some in the LC's declared that all TV's were idols, then they later declared these TV's to be "holy" when Witness Lee was on TV at the video conferences.
So
Drake, how do you define an idol? Is the "cross" on my shelf an idol? Is the picture on my shelf of my late mother an idol? How about the CD's and the CD player? If "anything that takes our heart" is an idol, then should some of us be also smashing even our loved ones?
