What were the activities they engaged in that created division instead of unity?
Also, what was your role in process of building this church?
I worked with the youth and was a deacon. I'm not sure why division isn't a good explanation, the scriptures tell us that unity in the church is valuable and that division is worthless and then there's the matter of certain activities which should stay within a church and not spread across a public domain.

Well, given that you suggest that people were punished and died for interference, I find myself wondering what they could have done that would call for such extreme retribution. Especially when there are plenty of people out there who have committed extreme atrocities, yet remain alive and maybe even unpunished.
By making such claims, Godschild, it calls your God into question (in my mind); or your understanding of events that unfold and the correctness of your assignment to your God of such extremist acts.
It also calls to mind the lack of responsibility of those governing activities, and their abilities to select appropriate people to accomplish their tasks, and their culpability in events that occurred.
So, I am just asking questions to make sense of your claims and what exactly could those who suffered have done that was so egregious?
