I know you are not directing this question directly at me but I cannot help but stick my fingers in this one. Even though there are sects as you speak of, they are turning a blind eye to what is really in the bible and what the mainstream of christianity exposes us to. Those that grow up in one of these sects you refer to will undoubtedly pass by the real christianity, creating confusion and madness and a feeling of being lost, like they have been lied to, I know because I have seen it happen and it nearly happened to me.

These sects are merely turning a 'blind eye' which in itself is a form of denial, which as you probably know, is not very healthy, both mentally and spiritually.
