Well, I have to admit that I started this thread because I have been thinking lately that maybe things were better when I was in a more controlled church environment. I prayed more, read my Bible more, talked to God more, worshipped more.........man, I used the be the first one out of the chute!
I was more blessed financially, the list goes on. But, at the same time, I know where being in that controlled environment led me to and I don't want to go back there either. It seems that all the controlling and micro managing just went totally overboard and it was either push back or let this man take complete control of my mind. I don't think that's what God wants. I know He wants to control my thinking, but I seriously doubt that His way of doing it is through the preacher. The preacher isn't God, he's just supposed to point me in that direction. I just wonder if there is a way to have all the good things that I had, without having to put up with all the bad things I dealt with.
