"Max" knows that the Worldwide Church of God is wrong on many things, but he says his reason for still attending the WCG is "to worship God." How is he worshipping Him? Is he worshipping Him when he sings mostly songs from the Psalms that emphasize God's Law and keeping it? Is he worshipping Him when he hears sermons on how we should keep the Feast of Tabernacles, the Sabbath and keep striving for perfection, so we don't lose out on our salvation? Is he worshipping Him when there are times that sermons are taken up by talking about problems with "dissidents," how the WCG is changing, or other topics unrelated to our spiritual growth? Is he worshipping Him when he says "Amen" along with the rest of the members to the prayers that emphasize the beliefs of the WCG? Is he worshipping Him when he fellowships with people that are hindered in their knowledge of the true Jesus who should be their Rest? Or could he be worshipping Him by not letting the others know that he doesn't go along with everything anymore that they teach, but that he's just there with them because that's where he feels "comfortable?"
