I'm just glad that after 49 posts in this thread no one has compared me to Cooper.

You are in a league of your own.

Next time he's trapped in a well, I might just look the other way.

Everybody needs a Lassie... otherwise you are just floundering through life on your own with no one to rescue you from the well.

Cooper,

I read OP's line of suggestions and there was a lot of truth in them. I know first hand how it is to be wounded and bitter because of hurt inflicted by people I looked up to in the UPCI.

God doesn't want us to carry baggage around that would hinder our walk with Him. Just saying you forgave those that hurt you could never be the same as truly walking in forgiveness.

I've read your history and I want you to know that I pray for you to find complete victory in Jesus and just as you received his forgiveness, you would demonstrate that forgiveness on others.

Staying away from a body of believers won't help your circumstance. In fact, you may find yourself deeper and deeper in your despair and separation.

Let brotherly love continue...

Yep, mount up those horses and ride.

Heb 10:25

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
KJV

I challenge you to lose the bitterness that is so prevalent in your posts toward the UPC and pastors.

Eph 4:31-32

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
KJV

I challenge you to pray through and live for God while you have a chance.

Titus 3:5
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
KJV

I challenge you to make it through ONE day without spewing forth venom and hatred.

Col 3:15

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
KJV

Last night in service you were my "unspoken request" and again this morning during my devotion time I prayed for you.

I'll second that.
