kBoy, read your old post. When you left. You weren't shunned. Surprised.The culture (spirit) of your local church. Different from Shiloh, North Hills.
slandjt, like your post (honesty) about FB and Coniah. Appreciate your point about other paths to healing. Mindfulness can heal ptsd. Still sorting out my beliefs. Doesn't bother me when posters talk about Jesus. Knowing he doesn't require ass kissing ministries.
BenTHare, me too. Trying to be calmer. Kinder towards TLWF members.
howmidoing, FB so members can connect. Find old friends. Good idea.
