I just would rather people be honest about it but for some reason they wont admit that the internet made any impact.
The internet had an impact on me, but it was pre-FCF. BY the time I got to FCF, I was done believing in standards as salvational.

Re: What Standards Have you Dropped Since Joining.
Really none, I am a bit more tolerant and understanding of those who don't believe exactly as I do. But I still think that holiness is inside, modesty is outside, and it is right to observe both. What is wrong is the way that some people apply/misapply those things.

My restless leg syndrome has healed itself. I have learned to relax in the Spirit.
