Shame on the many church leaders who are guilty of this; I'm sorry you experienced such an example.
The massive growth in numbers is among the Churches who do the exact opposite (to the above).
In Ukraine, despite their many challenges, the strength of the evanglical Churches is incredible and has been for much of the last 30-40 years; I have many friends who travel to Poland & Ukraine up to 4 times each year and have done since the 1980's; if they ask you to take a Bible Study, they don't expect it to be an hour, it must be an afternoon or a full evening.
A fact from just last week: the demand for Bible's in Ukraine had outstripped the supply. These people know which way is up.
You mentioned 'lost forever' - I trust that isn't your experience.
