What are the THREE SIGNS of a SICK church or a SICK religion?
Can a religion be neurotic? How can you tell if a religion or your church is “sick” and what can you do about it? The word “neurotic” is derived from the word neurosis. It has to do with forms of mental disorders in which the person is not delusional i.e. seeing things that are not there or hearing sounds that are not there (psychotic).
