Did those who followed Christ cease to be part of a church because there was no structure? If God was capable of leading and guiding and keeping 150 years ago -- is he not capable of doing so today?

That said, I still think she needs to find a group of people to whom she can be committed. By the way, my thoughts are based on ideology -- which is also this thing called "faith". You know, faith in God that he is able to keep that which he has started in her.

And I care, very much, for Michlow's soul -- or welfare as you put it...

Sorry but you read too much into a two liner.Its not about you remember?
