What if...
...There was a small town with only two churches. Thanks to creeds, confessions, and a rich history of gifted teachers, one of the churches was blessed to possess nearly all of the Truth. The other church had significantly less, and sadly, was content with that.
Yet, the people of the blessed church, knowing that they had more Truth, became unteachable, and over time came to live out only a fraction of what their church professed.
Regrettably, the other church taught against much of the Truth they lacked; however, they were able to consistently live out what Truth they did have.
If you've just moved into this town, which one would you choose?

Can I drive to the next town? ;-)
Really, in a situation like that, I think we'd pick the church where what goes on in the service is the closest to the truth, so the first one. We've already been in a situation where we had to come home and re-teach our kids, and that's a very bad environment. It teaches them to be critical of church.
It's a terrible choice though.
