Like the Watchtower to the JW's ... and the book of Mormon to the LDS.

One characteristic of abusive sects or cults is to fetter the children of God and rob them of their liberties in Christ. Jesus came to set us free, as the Good Shepherd sets the sheep free.
In the apostolic age, it was the Judaizers who attempted to bring the liberated believers into bondage. During the Dark Ages it was the Roman Pope who did the same. Today it is insular and exclusive sects who do the same.
I grew up with the Catholic Missal. It defined the Lord's Day service for every parish on earth. Now the LC's have the
Holy Word for Morning Revival published by LSM. It does the same thing.
Hi
Drake, please show us one collection of churches (
ie denomination) in history which has used a One Publication Policy and remained healthy in the faith. Every single one, including the Plymouth brethren, has used this policy to its own demise.
