No.. but thanks, because with the title Bishop, I found out the author. John Shelby Spong! “Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism.”

I think I was struggling with my church. A couple of bad pastors. Useless sermons. I’d sit there and it was like ADHD and shear boredom would set in. I’d sit there and think “I need another cup of coffee and earplugs.”

So, 3 pedos put on probation by the church. And that means what??? And one guy who worked with the teens (when my sons were there) was nothing but a disrespectful dastard. I got in his space and face several times. He was finally fired when he raped a girl in the church. Were the cops called? Why no.

So, we realized the problem lie with the lack of leadership and we said buh bye. Our youngest son did okay as he had a solid group of friends. About 12 kids who are still solid Christian adults. Our oldest didn’t fare well. Came out angry and disillusioned.

I grew up in the same denomination, different church and it was stellar. I loved my church, even through my teens.

I know this is long. An hour and some minutes. I break it up into small segments.

This guy just amazes me! What part of his brain is he using?? Obviously not the chocolate part in mine.

Majic Eyes Qnly. Giving more Q proof, future proves past. And mainly how many of Q posts are based on the Law of War.

I find it interesting and mind boggling. Oh.. sorry if this has been posted.

Spong! He was my first guess. I honestly thought he was the author of “Take A Bishop Like Me.” (Spong is an old word for a soft, boggy piece of land...so appropriate.)

Sorry to hear about your experiences. It’s a terrible thing to have one’s trust shattered, particularly due to the actions (and inaction) of clergy and others who are presumably Christian.

I’ll pray for your oldest.
