Ok, sorry, I thot maybe you were asking a Q and I couldnt figure out what.

Just call myself that 'cos it's where I live, it's different and unlikely to have been chosen by anyone else.

Maybe I shouldn't really be here (what do you think Mods?), 'cos I'm really only an Ex Fam sheep. I did the 12 FS course but am disallusioned by the bad press they've attracted.

It's complex, I love Jesus and worship Him in the way they do, at least as far as they admit to us GP sheep. Reading through some of the posts here though and on Moving On, etc, I don't want to get involved with what I consider to be the seedy side of their organisation.

So I believe in the Bible (prefer the KJV), don't believe in Evolution, can see their (TF) points about the system and Mammon worship, but am not prepared to donate my salary pittance to WS or a Home that spends the money on themselves. If the money was guarranteed to be spent on feeding/clothing the poor, buying Bibles or genuine reasons, then no problem! But also I know that the MMs and FDs rely on subs and contribs to live on, not having a stipend as regular missionaries do.

Is that a fair summation?
