I was raised in that...I still live it, I am well adjusted, married, with two very well adjusted girls who love to worship and are not ashamed of the standards they live by.
It was not the culture that destroyed this girl but a mother that had no understanding of the difference between legalism and true Holiness.
But of course you couldn't miss an opportunity to get a dig in on "Apostolic Identity"
I would imagine that for every young person that went to a conservative church and backslid , there are just as many from liberal, charismatic, supposedly "grace" churches that have backslid too....
....you just cant tell the difference.

I really was moved by deacon's story, but will admit I wondered about this too...

Sir, I think your choice of usernames is appropriate and revealing. You want to viewed as someone who "tells is like it is." Someone who stands for truth at all costs and holds tight to the old paths of Apostolic Identity.
I actually feel sorry for you. You seem so angry and locked in to this culture war within your miniscule movement.
I remember a time when I expended a lot of energy and passion on AFF. I debated issues almost 24/7. Over time I realized that I was wasting myself on these issues and with people who did not care for me personally. So I gave up. I now only occasionally visit, posting very infrequently.
Straight Shooter, life is short, and I'm feeling charitable, so here is a free piece of advice. Love your family. Work hard. Love God. Vacation frequently. Live with no regrets. Accomplish your goals.

Yup

How can you define that Scripture any other way? Samuel assumed that Jesse's son was God's choice for king because of his physical appearance. God told Samuel not to get fooled by what he saw---that God doesn't judge a man by outward appearance. I don't know how plain that could be.
Fruit is never a reference to outward appearance---it's always a reference to things like love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, faith, meekness and self control. You shall know them by the kind of life they live, the way they treat people, their commitment to God.

to work thru them to reach this lost and dying
world!
Disciples will indeed show love, but, they also
will not cower down and not preach against sin.
Alot of people want just the love side, but dont
want anything to do with being told things that
they do are absolutely wrong.

They preached Christ and Him crucified. The crucified Christ died for sins. The Gospel exposes the sinful state of man. The bravest, most courageous preaching isn't preaching against sin, it's preaching the Cross.

A big amen. No one needs another accuser.

Ozzy also sang that he didn't want to change his bad behavior.

Re: A Lost Little Lamb
Then Oz can go to hell,
but I will not be accusing him,
or even judging here, as best I am able.
For all i know, the song is a parody of
an evil person's behavior.
The point being that we all have
free will, and accusations do not bring people around.
