So, in essence, you’ve excommunicated yourself over the failings of certain people?

I would just ask you to reflect on the actions of the Apostles after Judas betrayed Christ - their purposeful self-exclusion from the crucifixion (except for John), and their “re-entry” into belief when Jesus stood before them.

I’m sure you would have had beefs with the way Christ let Judas betray him like that, maybe even demanded reforms and explanations from the Lord. But would any of the Apostles been better off on that day He stood before them, if they decided to spend it upbraiding Him for scandalizing them like that?

I’m not offended by your views, just puzzled by anyone who prefers to be “outside” the ark rather than “inside”, in spite of the smelly animals that are riding along.

ROFL! THAT IS FUNNY! :)

Don't try to understand me... I am peculiar in my beliefs I think... But they are deeply ingrained, it's hard to change.
