Glad you can put up with my discussion on hell. I was trying to show that this "etneral suffering" thing does not jive, at least not with my concept of a loving God. I'm not trying to push a Christian worldview on anyone. I'm just trying to kick the butt of Berg's strange view of hell. If you missed most of it, consider yourself fortunate.

I happen to have Christian faith now, different from whatever that sick concoction was that I knew in the Family, but I'm happy for whoever shows up here to talk, even if they have no faith. We've been through hell like you say, like Viet Nam vets, we share the common experience. We all come out with our heads in different spaces and our psyches and emotions intact or scarred to varying degrees.

Give me a kick if I start preaching. We've had enough of that. This board is for healing. It's a wnder any ex-members come out and wanting anything to do with faith. I just happen to have Christian views. It's part of who I am. Hope you feel comfortable around me.
