In the meetings, someone would point out that Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, or that the Church was the Body; or some teen-aged girl would burst into tears and blubber that she also loved the church. "Just like Christ does".
And now you've been moved away from the purity and simplicity of the gospel. Now your focus is off your Lord, and if you aren't careful you'll be led further and further away. I've seen it a dozen times if I've seen it once. It's such a smooth move. Like a card trick; gets them almost every time.
