WHOA....yep, you were right, and thanks for the link, my kind of forum.
My biggest warning would be to find fellow believers, join hearts and hands but STAY AWAY from organized religion. I used to be an ordained minister. God said,"Come out of her." It was hard for me to understand until I was no longer under her bondage, but it has been hard, I love people even the mean ones most of the time. lol I have friends who are wrapped up in the system of religion, they ask me to please go with them, but I know what will happen, I will be asked to leave. Or I will watch judgement fall, know its coming and can't do anything. Sometimes you just don't know what to do, I just know where I am NOT suppose to be right now. Thanks for the tip Dr. Quix...lol. And I swear I am on no meds. Someday I will give my testimony, and reading some of these posts actually brought a feeling of peace. I'm glad you provided a place to go where the flames are not so hot.
Your experiences sound like my own with regard to churches etc.
I think any congregation older than about a year and a half is already deep into traditions of men etc. Hard to prevent. Sigh.
Thanks for your kind words. Welcome to the TP thread!
LUB,
