Try reading ."The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse"

As long as audiences are on the receiving end of ambiguous, abstract, obscure, religious lingo full of clichés and platitudes..while pastors talk about the same ancient religious stories over and over again performing amateur psycho therapy and superficial relational damage control..(groan)

"It has often been presented to me that there should be less sermonizing by ministers acting merely as local pastors of churches, and that greater personal efforts should be put forth. Our people should not be made to think that they need to listen to a sermon every sabbath. Many who listen frequently to sermons, even though the truth be presented in clear lines, learn but little. Often it would be more profitable if the Sabbath meetings were of the nature of a Bible class study. Bible truth should be presented in such a simple, interesting manner that all can easily understand and grasp the principles of salvation.: EV 348
