"I see how it is, you start a thread that creates a hornets nest and you are off being just fine . . ."

Lol. My future advice for depressives will be a finger.
Depression is a spirit that one makes a home for. Period.

As to my post about breaking forum rules, one of them is no name calling......IE stupid and asinine, which ILG had happen to her. Or singling out a certain poster for ridicule. Tearing down truth and doctrine. You can disagree without breaking the rules.

Okay, thank you Cindy, for clarifying that for me.

That's it in a nutshell, but she felt personally attacked. So words like stupid and asinine directed toward an idea or thought, may not be the best way to go.

I don't believe I ever said I was called stupid and asinine but I said my ideas were called stupid and asinine. And yes, I did feel personally attacked, for the record.

I know exactly how you felt. That was the point I was trying to make.

Has it ever dawned on you that if every single church is bad in your mind that maybe the problem is with you and not all the churches?

I am not diminishing the hurt and issues you had with church in your past. What I am saying is that you are using that as an excuse to not be in any church and that excuse is not biblical despite your convoluted logic regarding Jesus and the Sabbath.

I just don't think anything I could say to you in this regard will make you happy unless I tell you I will be at church next week, which is why I didn't answer you the first time you asked me the question. You continued to press and I said I have told you the answer to this question in my opinion before, you just didn't agree. And again.....I told you because you were pressing and then after you squeezed it out of me, you proceed to call my ideas asinine and go on this litany against what I said. You and I disagree, plain and simple. You may have noticed that I don't feel I have to justify myself to you or anybody else. For some reason that bugs some people to death. But, I really am free of the need to justify myself. When I speak it is because I want to and no other.

For the record, she and her husband PASTORED a church, so it's not like she was just a member and then she does not want to go anymore.
They were ACTIVE in there. If she's not going right now, maybe she still needs times off to heal.

By the way, going to "church" does NOT mean you're in THE CHURCH
and not going to "church" does NOT mean you're NOT in THE CHURCH (by ONE Spirit, we are baptized into the CHURCH)

So instead of hammering her for what position she took, it'd be more helpful to consider her walk with the Lord. To see where she's at, to encourage her walk with the Lord, and then see where the Lord leads her as per gathering with other fellow believers...

Thank you, TGBTG.
