20 years ago I belonged to a evangelical Christian club at a community college. A girl lied to the members about being a evangelical Christian and got elected president of the club. shortly after being elected she informed everyone that she was Mormon and that she hid the fact because she would of been discriminated against in the election. because of the rules at the college there was no way of removing her from her position. so a club that had over 50 members dissolved it self becoming a club with only five members all Mormon. what was really interesting was that there was a Mormon club on campus at the time and that the drama from are club collapsing in on it self spelled over to that club where half the members agreed with what the girl did and the other half thought it stunk
I often wonder just how many people do that - lie or stretch the truth to gain power or position in churches or Christian groups.
When my children were little, I had them involved in a Christian children’s group. At the time, I was not religious myself, but I was up front with the leaders about that. I helped wherever I was needed, but I never offered to assume responsibility in a leadership position. I assumed the people in leadership for that organization were “true” Christians. Then, at one meeting, I found out that most of them were not Christian at all; they were playing the part just to have access and control. That was a wake up call, to say the least.
