If you happen to still be reading this forum. Follow what the Lord Jesus Christ has set for you. Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Anyone you lose as a "friend" was NEVER your brother in Jesus name.
So, keep in mind that leaving an organization (or fellowship) is a good way to weed out the wicked and expose those who were just glad handers. Brothers are brothers who are supposed to hold fast. I don't mean agree with everything you might do or say. Yet, they will stick with you and be available if you need them
