espousing things like -- his (Tim's Dad) salvation is contingent on getting his children to come back to the church
That strikes me as evil--causing huge amounts of emotional distress to church members just to increase the church's membership.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
it's hard to reconcile those people (and the JZ's of the world) with what the broader institution really is.
I can't talk about it with JZ anymore because I get all rantypants.
