Anyone who feels this is about preacher bashing is without proper understanding of what is happening. I've seen preacher bashing and it is not conducive to the healing process. However, I also understand that sometimes people have to vent some to get past that state and move forward.

if i wanted to bash the preachers that hurt me so bad, believe me, i would have their names, phone numbers and addresses posted all over this forum.

I understand. I've had people say this about me and I have to chuckle to myself because I know all the negative things I could have posted years back and did not.

The thought that one cannot or should not speak about these things is erroneous. Even the Bible addresses problems the early church had. Some people's names are given, too. And these things have been read for literally hundreds of years, all over the earth.

its good to just be able to talk about it and not have to get into who said this and who did that.

Ah, now come on! Name names. If you don't, you can be discredited. If you do, then you are accused of other things. Either way, in some people's eyes, you will never be in a 'win' situation. You're wrong if you do and wrong if you don't.
