Thanks, Jonathan. I appreciate your kind words and your strong support. I am glad that I left my previous church, they controlled who you could befriend and judged people outside the church (ie non-believers). That has allowed me to expand my horizons with people more than ever before, so I’m glad that I’m not alone in these experiences like I thought I was. Being yourself, that’s always good advice! I have spent most of my life putting on a face in order to attract others, but I’m glad that as I look at these forums that there’s no need to do this. Thanks again for your message!I left my church too, i once had a so called Christian friend who gossiped about me in bad ways. Just because it's established as a church doesn't mean everything will be ok. Don't let the bad expieriances turn you off people. Would you believe the only friends I have are unbelieving ones! Not that there any help but hey, at least it's companionship. I too have recently went through isolation and loneliness because of having Christian ex friend hurt me. I no longer go to church.
My advise is pick yourself up and get out. Live according to christs standards and keep loving people. You will attract the right people for being yourself, you will find pretenders if you yourself is a pretender. Don't ever leave bad expieriances get you down. Let it be a lesson learned. After all, that how life teaches us
God Bless brother, Jonathan
