So my S.O. just informed me she may be joining a fundy church

I thought this group might be the place to get some sane answers.

We are both over 50, known each other for 30 years or so. She has always been a very tolerant and even minded person, and has done a lot to help disadvantaged kids in the neighborhood. Basically has a heart of gold.

She does home care for elderly, got to be friends with the family of a client. Went to bingo with the daughter and son in law of the client. I wasn't invited, but didn't worry about it.

Last night she informed me she is attending a "prayer meeting" tonight for 3 hours at the AOG church, a fundamentalist Pentecostal megachurch near us, and will be attending services with them on Sundays.

I had some rather ugly run ins with some of these fundies back in the Bush years, when Ridge was my governor. I know what they represent quite well.

I showed her a couple of news articles that gave examples of cult like and even illegal acts by this group (members held a young woman they claimed was "demonically possessed" prisoner until she suffered a nervous breakdown, this was in a different area. The woman won a settlement.)

She became very defensive.

I do know I do not want any fundies in my life, and told her why.

Any advice on dealing with cult recruiters would be appreciated.
