For those who want to know...RULES at my church!

I thank God for my pastor. We have never had to endure this type of stuff.

I had to go through various phases of it. My pastor was pretty easy going and felt that the Holy Ghost was enough to help most folks sort out their social calendars.

However his wife and others at times felt that he was too loose so they'd get after him and he'd react with a bullying attitude- we'd lose several established families and have to start all over again only to repeat the cycle. We chewed up a lot of folks in the community that way. But, hey! It's all a part of keeping a "clean church," right?

It's no joke JM. I have seen it and lived thru it, in both upc and amf churchs

I am ashamed that I spent twenty years under this bondage.

I thank God that I am free at last.

I am going to move on to some other threads now. Talking about this old garbage is not amusing to me.

Opens old wounds that I don't want to be scratching.

Peace to all and my prayers for all, that you find healing from the wounds inflicted upon you.
