For the others... on the issue of questioning... perhaps the concept of "counting the cost" should be considered.

Yep...like I said...you could walk out the door of the church and be struck by a drunk driver and get your reward for questioning the leadership

Sad how many times I've heard threats or implied threats like this. Or entire sermons preached about how Johnny the backslidden Preacher's Son was killed after walking out the back door and rebelling againt the pastor. Maybe the story (ies) are true, and the warnings are often warranted, but too often they are used to manipulate people into silence.

Yes... when one leaves a church they should be very careful for the rest of their lives because of they ever die of anything but old age (and a RIPE old age at that) then SOMEONE is going to get a great sermon out of that.

LOL... the best course of action is, if at all possible, to outlive the brother.

If you are in a nursing home and in a near vegetative state... HOLD ON!!!!!!!!!!

Just for the record, my husband has never questioned salvational doctrine...but rather, some of the unscriptural doctrine. Also, we have much respect for the authority God has placed over us.

If one is going to question doctrine... the unscriptural kind is the best kind to question.
