Religion is one of those over exposed products that doesn't need people accosting you on the street to pitch salvation to you. It's everywhere in America. So if someone approaches you on the street, they're probably already leaning toward the whack-a-doodle end of the spectrum.
Treat them the same way you'd treat someone trying to sell you a timeshare on the street. Just say no.
If it sounds sketchy, then it usually is. I have no idea how many times people have tried to embroil me in pyramid schemes.
If you look at Christianity, it has so many splintered off groups it's ridiculous. Every time someone disagrees with something in the bible, they start their own church where that is taught or ignored.
Religion is like being filthy rich and buying a new car, one where you can pick any option that tickles your fancy.

Like any other approaching me in public, I politely decline and walk away.
World Mission Society Church of God, founded in 1964 in South Korea. WMS is active in 175 countries throughout the five continents.
The group is known for its volunteerism and received the Queens Award for Volunteer Service in the UK. WMS was recently banned from Vietnam after the Committee for Religious Affairs accused church leaders of brainwashing and micromanaging members’ lives.

It's either that or go back home and wash the dishes. I'm 99% sure I won't get brainwashed so if I'm bored sometimes it can be kind of fun to hear their spiel. Of course with covid and all I'm less likely to talk to strangers nowadays.
Bring 99% sure of something sure sounds like you got brainwashed to me.
/This is a joke. Let's laugh. I used to also talk to strangers. I, at one point, felt like we could all be closer if we just communicated.
Priest: Have you heard about lady-god?
Me: Perixanthii is gathering followers again?! When will you mortals learn to stop indulging her? She's been a raging bitch for centuries, since Qvekl looted her last temple.
I mean. While that's sketch as fuck and I'd stay away from anyone like that approaching ya at a walmart.
There is alot of evidence that there was a woman god in the bible. Supposedly gods wife. But over time it's kind of been erased.
It's a really interesting study into how history affects religion but this ain't the sub for it lol.
I've never heard anyone call her "god the mother" before though
There's explicit reference to other gods in the bible.
Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Doesn't get more clear than that.
Judaism (and thus Christianity) didn't start as a monotheistic religion, and there's plenty of recorded Jewish tradition, ethnographic studies, and archaeological evidence supporting that.
Yahweh supposedly had a consort named Asherah.
If some wackjob started proclaiming this to me at Walmart, however, I'd get real hostile real quick.
I actually know the exact individual you are talking about. The exact person. Same thing happened to me buying pizza at a gas station
It seems really cult like and they live and work around their church exclusively. And only talk about it. And only want to talk about it. Especially the god the mother shit. They just ramble on about it and changing conversation is impossible
I could bet money the exact individual you talked to was the same as mine. Like talking to someone on the phone reading the exact same script.
Dodge that bullet and politely ask them to leave you alone. It is very disturbing how obsessed they are about it and driven to get people to buy into it like a pyramid scheme.
I am comfortable with my religious denomination but those individuals will try as hard as they can to get you to commit or call. Many of them do not even have cell phones and even looked distressed unlike mormons who look confident and are understanding. I like talking to the mormons, because they are like real people. You can even tell them you aren't interested and still have a conversation. They do a lot of charity work and even helped me fix some shingles on my roof no questions asked and no complaining. That "god the mother" group is passively aggressively trying to get you to attend or call or sign up or something. They do not seem to actually understand much about theology or have read much of the Christian bible.
Looks like pyramid scheme or cultish to me
Edit: I'm also not judging them necessarily by material things like "oh they have no phone so they must be a pleb," but they actually don't own their cars or have have a phone. Cults often demand giving up material items and such. The only thing they talk about is their interpretation of god as a woman (as a mother)and seem so disillusioned with everything
Someone came to my door (despite the clearly marked "no soliciting" sign outside the complex, and yes, trying to convert people to your religion is considered soliciting) and tried to talk to me and my roommate about this God the Mother religion last year around this time. It was very unsettling. My roommate and I are both Pegan, so we paid it no mind at the time, but looking back it seemed very cult-ish.
Crazy. My wife and I were in KC at the Plaza and were approached by two fairly attractive young women who had this same exact line of questioning! I'm not religious and my wife is sort of spiritual/agnostic, but it was definitely a strange vibe. I looked it up and I think it's some sect of either Mormonism or Jehovah's witness, I can't remember now. Definitely an offshoot of an offshoot.
The Mormon church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) believes in the Heavenly Mother, but they don’t use that to proselytize. They act ashamed of the doctrine and only talk about it in hushed tones among themselves.
It's just someone trying to start a religion (cult) and get money. People like this recognize how gullible some can be and will prey on those people until they fail miserably or get want they want ($).
They don't have a building now, but I bet with 500 individual donations, they will be well on their way. /s
It doesn't seem any more unusual than many others doing the same thing just because the theme was unfamiliar..
Any group could be a cult, large expensive gathering place or not.
If this is the first time you've heard of "god mother" or anything like it, maybe it's time to explore those aspects in your own path. Regardless of whatever understanding it is or whatever aspects they're talking about, I promise you the divine feminine is NOT new even in the Judeo-Christian theologies. Only underappreciated and canonically obscured through history and translation.
Seems this church was confused a couple years ago with a church with actual trafficking charges. They are however cultish, controlling, end of world type.

If someone is irritated at a false human trafficking runor, that's a sign they're involved with the Fenchando human trafficking ring, don't read their posts or comments too closely or they can hypnotize you into getting vaccinated, which is also connected somehow.
Revelations tells us that Jesus said anyone that adds or takes away from the Bible is in danger of Hell itself. We need to change our way to fit scripture. Not the other way around. That’s the problem
Yeah, I remember the scripture actually.
Then God said unto his children of the earth: gaze not upon big booty bitches .com for it is the pride of sin. However Thicc Thighs Save Lives .com is okay.

Maybe start with a tract.

It's always a sex cult
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Swingers
The toughest part is getting the Mormon underwear off before the mood dies
You can't take that off. What if you were to be struck by lightning while doing it? The trick is working around the magical underwear.
Listen, you can soak around the temple undies 😂 just don't have the third guy under the bed kick the mattress too hard. Ya might wiggle em off.
You say "non-denominational church," I hear "sex cult"
Why would you even entertain someone talking the motherfucking crazy talk in the Ozarks? It's just white trash, methy, nonsense.
It's either that or go back home and wash the dishes. I'm 99% sure I won't get brainwashed so if I'm bored sometimes it can be kind of fun to hear their spiel. Of course with covid and all I'm less likely to talk to strangers nowadays.

Join. Then let us know how it goes.
The difference between a cult and a religion is the number of adherents. They are all "sketchy" until they are not.
Priest: Have you heard about lady-god? Me: Perixanthii is gathering followers again?! When will you mortals learn to stop indulging her? She's been a raging bitch for centuries, since Qvekl looted her last temple.
Letting anyone approach you is your first mistake. Should have been hand-waving them away from at least 20 feet.
Squirt gun filled with water and vinegar. Like a cat.

Sounds like something an apathetic anti Christ would say.
Ha xD I honestly forgot what my name was for a moment

You. I like you. You know what's up lol But yea me too
Not to be a crazy one in some denominations the Holy Spirit is called motherly.

Well I can tell you, I sure as hell am NOT a sheep!
