Hello everyone
Re: Hello everyone
I am glad the board has helped you. Your story is so sad, but unfortunately not uncommon for those who have left the COC. Welcome to our site. We understand, and we care.

Welcome aboard. We're glad you are here. Know that you are among friends who get it.
Re: Hello everyone
Welcome to the forum.
Some of them are blind, but more than a few are just plain mean spirited. Even our CoC friends - at least in thought - often feel obligated and under pressure to shun those who leave their group.Lovedbygod wrote: I am very sad that good people are so blind. I know we are all blind in many ways, but there is a blindness that is just toxic and so very hurtful. I don't want to be bitter, but sometimes I feel very angry about it.
Freedom in Christ always trumps slavery to legalism

Welcome aboard! It is sad to hear how cruel people can be in the name of religion.
