People have been "coming to their own conclusions" for centuries and continue to get it wrong. Now some have been given from on high by the Pope which were also wrong, such as moving the Sabbath to Sunday and saying the Crucifixion happened on "Good Friday" just to negate Jesus' own statement as to how we would know he was the true Messiah.
Nice to give a detailed example of just one church, which happens to be different from any church I've ever attended or even heard of. All churches I've been to in over 60 years have services that average an hour, though some individual services may run over, if the preacher has a lot of points to cover in his sermon. The only real mention of tithes and offerings is when the offering plate is passed.
Tithing to the church with actual money is required by the Bible. Your paying in kind sounds like some local girls who told me they didn't have to "pay" rent for their apartment.
Reading and discussion are what goes on in Sunday school. You should try an ordinary Southern Baptist church, regardless of what you may think of the upper management in the convention. The churches are pretty independent of the convention, but are similar in beliefs and order of service.
Forgive me, being in southern VA....guess I've never seen a real southern Baptist church. /sarcasm. Seriously 25 churches in 5 years, not 1 was more about the gospel than their tithings intake. Your experience may be different and that is very possible, but I'm just sharing my struggle to find a "real" church. I want to converse with others on it all, but I'm not driving 1.5 hrs away to do that.
Cross the border into NC. I find what you say hard to believe, based on my 60+ years of experience, compared to your paltry 5 years.
