Organised religion is a bad way to pass on spiritual values. when we talk about organised religion it means religion that is placed in a consensus for a community of people identify themselves as an in group. This in group hands will act as a body. Rather than recognised the subjectivity of Voices and experience the body will act as a homogeneous whole with limited flexibility to it's interpretation of religious doctrine. S these doctrines are passed down through generations the mixing of traditional and cultural values may increase the propensity for false or positions of thought, or arbitrary binary to be made in a name of objective truths (which professes a singular comprehensive narrative, rather than dialogic reality that exists on a larger scale between different groups and cultures.) or normative morality instead of descriptive morality.
Buy leaning towards at objective reality organised religion can come across as political and repressive in addition to the characteristics of objectivity in organised religion it can be noted that the state of organisation propels a thesis or a static format of doing life which usually repressive voices that offer other equally valid methods and solutions and systems and experiencing the gifts and values of spirituality.
In this case organised religion in context to a loose, unframed religion, maybe forcing methods to spirituality that may feel a natural to certain individuals who do not share common routes that allow for the validation of said methods. Furthermore there is the case where dynamics of power would offset the balance of learning and self-discovery within the follower. Experiences that are framed in contacts to the foreground a narrative is chosen and filtered by the leaders of religion can overwhelm and reduce the visibility and validity of the individual experience____when it does not conform to the norm established within the current power dynamics. Thus this suppression of individual growth can corrupt and gate what makes a person unique and instead taint the person with the doctor Reno truths of the religion which arm of than not, held in a political frame. Thus it is clear that the integration of political and repressive agendas may not be intended by an actor's and leaders of the organised religion, but followers still receive the consequences of such a gender when they go in search of spirituality via the religion's system. Hence the followers path towards spirituality in an organised religion is painted with views and arbitrary opinions and culture and tradition that have been intermingling and completely settled within the religious organisation. This tainting of spirituality is therefore arguably seen as an underdeveloped form of the spirituality that Jeanette winterson has brought up.
In oranges are not the only fruit, the inseminacion of political views can be noted as when mother prevents Jeanette to go to school, which she calls a breeding ground. This can be seen as a condition of religious values within her personal ones, especially when it overlaps with mother's obsession with what she sees as binaries of good and bad or specifically "enemies and friends", which island explicitly listed in the religious doctrine itself. The chosen enemies heated by mother are the devil in his many forms next door sex in its many forms slugs. In contrast to the chosen friends: God our dog aunty Madge, the novels of Charlotte bronte slug pellets. This can be seen as an extreme form of arbitrary othering where Jeanette is brought up to join her mother in a tag match against the rest of the world. This attitude of mothers is grounded in the praise and support of religious leader such as pastor spratt , poo also preaches bias narratives tainted with his time spent as an advertising manager for rathbones wrought iron. Where he says there is nothing wrong with beat went on the topic of bribing and guilt tripping people with potted plants to become new converts through love bombing and hospitality. This largely impacted upon mother's methods of achieving spirituality which in turn influences jeanette's perception of spirituality when she begins to question her sexual identity that was demed to be of an unnatural Passion by the church.
Mother continues to deny jeanette's identity even causing Gina to go through multiple breakdowns in questioning herself which resulted in a lot of harm and complications in effect of trying to join two conflicting realities when she sees and filled her relationship with Melanie as natural love, warehouse connection to God is placed in a perilous position because of the persecution exorcism she had to suffer under the hands and betrayal of mother and pastor spratt and pastor Finch, poor vacillated between praising Jeanette and condemning her to house of demons the moment he perceives God to give him an opportunity of teaching that he must not presume to waste even though it caused Jeanette to feel a bit awkward. Jeanette's path to solidify spirituality on Faith would be treacherous in this sense because of her this covering the self or trying to hold onto ill-informed ideas of doctrine propagated by her mother that only put tray limited and conservative perspective of the biblical canon.
Jeanette who was preaching 4 years couldn't reach when she was banned by the council full blame the failure of the church on their faulty at kieran's to biblical doctrine: they were going against the teachings of st Paul and allowing women power in the church. That was a concern for Jeanette as their church was constructed with strong women and do women organise everything. This split in conflict of interest between the established system of units church and organised religion as represented by the council can be seen to restrict the natural growth or spirituality and could even have broken it down.
