if i see it, does it exist?

Follow-up to this post.
So, i just watched a video which showed a church do so-and-so. Now, because this church does so-and-so, does that mean every church does so-and-so, or does it tell us nothing about other churches?
Is one church doing so-and-so necessary and sufficient to conclude that all churches do it?
Is one church not doing so-and-so necessary and sufficient to conclude that no church can do it?
Are are these two (1. one church doing it (or not) and 2. all churches are the same) related?

I would like to know why you’re asking. If I had a specific example, I could answer you in more detail.
But, no, the logic of all of those statements is fundamentally flawed.
