Forgive me for being absent of late, my life has taken on some busy turns. In any event, after reading the thread below and particularly Rockys point that "this board is about personal experiences and healing" - I would like to remind our dear posters of what we are trying to accomplish with this board. Please do not use it as a personal platform to preach at others (eh-hem, Byron) or carry on your own agenda. Exmembers for the most part do not need that. Many are trying to find their faith again, without the dogmas and conspiracy spins Berg put on nearly the whole bible and Christian walk. This takes a lot of undoing, at least for some. This board was set up as a place for exmembers to come and speak about their religious experience, their faith in God and how to undo the damage that berg did to that. Although the thread below in and of itself can be quite interesting and some very good points were discussed and brought up in response, lets not forget what we are attempting here. This is meant to be a place for support and affirmation, validation, and a new understanding and/or view of God. Please keep this in mind. Any other thoughts or ideas on this subject?
