For some reason, I had to have a full jury to explain my situation. It was ALL MY FAULT. I was given good advice on how to go forward, and I had to be reminded from time to time, because the pain of the situation was sometimes overwhelming. God had to remind me I wasn't alone. Everyone was so defensive for this church. Even those who were trying to help, there was always some slant and inquisition about things.
I just find it outrageous to start off a response to this brother with "You are silly. I don't believe you. Man up."

Yeah...Ferd isn't known for his sensitivity. You should read what he posted when I announced we had a litter of puppies born (of an abandoned stray) on our property!
