Re: On Leaving Church (L)
Interesting thread....sadly, I can't stand up and say I don't know where this is coming from - I have been there, more than once I'm afraid.
Having said that, I have seen some awesome ministers who are dedicated to reaching souls...not checkbooks, and they are also not afraid to train and send people out to pastor, minister, etc. They do not try to control every tiny detail, nor do they micro manage - quite simply, in their view, there is no time for such nonsense.
I have not been around as much as some, but it does feel like leaders like I described above are few in number.

Re: On Leaving Church (L)
I have not left the church. Yes, I left organized religion. But I know that I am part of the body of Christ, which is the church. I am a temple where the spirit of the most High dwells. I live my life every moment realizing that wherever I go, I am the church. I pray that when people see me, that they just don't see me, but they see Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Re: On Leaving Church (L)
I haven't been a church member for years. Sometimes I stop in here and there...if I feel like it.

Re: On Leaving Church (L)
I feel sorry for some of you, but I love my church, pastor and worship services.
