I understand the last thing you would want to do is put yourself at risk again...that is how the bad shepherds strike the sheep. DO you know of anyone in your area who was at that church and feels the same as you? Do they go to a new church? It is risky not to attend church, satan loves to cut the herd and strike at the loners. Would you consider another church? :)Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-20942605167092023502013-04-18T09:32:19.377-04:002013-04-18T09:32:19.377-04:00I recently took my membership out of my church, an...I recently took my membership out of my church, an independent Baptist church, because of observed abusive attitudes in the leadership (pastor, et al.) and truly a lack of love and concern for the elderly.

It is a delicate subject, on behalf of all those who have been abused. But also to make sure that there is a lot of love even for the sinning pastors and deacons etc, so I want to make sure the one is right. There is quite a bit of information out there on this topic. I hope to do it justice.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-81087389497609149692011-12-29T21:10:29.113-05:002011-12-29T21:10:29.113-05:00I am interested in your next post.
