Re: Why am I labeled backslid and unusable by God
I've never felt shunned per se, but I have noticed that when I attend a conservative church that knows me and my family, they tend to gather around me and my wife when we go up front to pray with everyone else at the end of the service. That's OK with me.
This just tells me that they are good folks who genuinely believe that all I need is a good praying through and everything would go back to the way it used to be. I'm all for a good "praying through", but I have moved on in my beliefs on some things.
I know how they feel because I felt the same way about those who had left before me. It sure feels different when you change paradigms or perspectives.
