I disagree, the word 'flock' appears in the Bible (Lk 12:32, for example). Because a church is non-denominational or does NOT belong to a 'major' religion does not imply absolutely its 'wrong'. I do believe the person in question had a home study course, but please don't paint everyone with such a broad brush.
