A place to snark and vent about CoC doctrine and/or our experiences in the CoC. This is a place for SUPPORT and AGREEMENT only, not a place to tell someone their experience and feelings are wrong, or why we disagree with them.
As an aggregate, those messages sound very much like a typical CofC ramble (i.e., sermon) - just add prooftexts to fit and it's all good. I especially like the wrong word choice being deadly.
" Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change."
I like the names of your churches, Ivy. My favorite is "Neurosis Parkway".
