I really wonder why we are painted with such a broad brush. So many times, when people get hurt, they allow bitterness to set in and will not deal with it, because it is too painful. I know, because been there, done that. You MUST deal with bitterness as it comes.
We sometimes make unwise choices and then blame the people that we are associated with and make them the scapegoat and the reason we don't allow God to heal us.

Here is the difference, LCS. We have a difference in opinion of what unwise and wise choices are. We differ in what we believe. That doesn't make us better or worse than others. It doesn't make us more or less bitter than you or anybody else. It means some have made different choices and believe differently. That's all. When people make those differences in choices and belief a smudge on character, that's where the problem comes in. I might believe the UPC has cult-like tendencies....that is not a smudge on your character. If I said you have to believe like me or you are bitter, resentful, going to hell or a cult leader, that's a smudge on your character.
