It's been since the late 90s that I was in the cult, but there are only some holidays they don't celebrate. Halloween is not celebrated, they usually celebrate "Reformation Day" at this time instead.Quote

Hi all, I have a question for you. It is difficult for me to tell how much of what is happening with my daughter and son-in-law is from GCC teaching or things they have dreamed up themselves, so I thought I would ask you. They are now choosing to not celebrate holidays. Has anyone seen any of this type of thing with GCC or MacArthur followers? Thanks.

When the college would take breaks, for example Spring/Easter break, many students would use this time to go on missions for the church and not go home, thus devoting all their time to the church. So in that respect, many of the college students would not celebrate holidays with their families.
I'm not sure if MacArthur has tightened up his views on holidays since I left. If anyone that has been in recently could elaborate that would be great. I know he never was too crazy about the pagan origins of some holidays, but I'm not sure if he has gone so far to the point of not celebrating them. Anyone know more?
In enforcing the list, you have to keep "growing," constantly getting better and better, or you aren't saved. Some mentors/counselors enforce the list in different ways.Quote

I've never really thought of her as a perfectionist, but he is an extremely cautious, distrustful person.
