My old church in particular was real big on group thinking. There would be entire sermons on how you needed more than just Jesus, you needed the church too. And talks, of not whole sermons, on how you have to always give your 10% tithe no matter your circumstance, and how God would always take care of you. Even if you don't agree with the church leaders, still pay your tithes, because it's your duty to God, and he has control over where the money goes.
Made me sick to listen to.
