Linny:
Roy,
I couldn't respond to you on FB but wanted to here. I have such sympathy for those of you who have had to come out of Babylon leaving behind loved ones.
I realize God spared us this as He moved us away from our closest friends (that we still have OUTSIDE of church) into a church where He did not allow us to make any friends. Believe me we tried. But we spent 3 years in a church becoming more and more disillusioned and hurt. So when He took us to BT, we were THRILLED to leave-no pain.
All of us here are on a different path and each experience He puts us through is for an individual purpose to grow us in His perfect way.
I am sorry for this current trial you are in but am confident that it will bring you closer to Him and be a blessing to you in the end.

Bless you, Lin

Hi Roy,

I was in pentecostal churches on and off for about 10yrs, its wasn't hard for me to turn my back on it and walk away, but like Linny said we are all on a different paths, I also didn't make many friends, and tried everything to fit in.
I feel for you bother you've obviously have strong relationships in that church (please correct me if wrong on the point).
I feel inspired by your letter, and hope they are too!

Bless you

Matt

Roy Coates:
Thanks all for the support, input and prayer. The pastor does want me to honor God no matter what,  even if he thinks I am wrong. He as asked some questions I feel to gain an understanding. My email crashed after I typed 2 or 3 pages of responses, Hmmm God at work? of coarse it is God at work.  I don't want to or think I can change him or the church for that matter. I do want to help him understand. Worst thing of this all is my wife as suddenly claimed the importance of the family going to church. I told her I can do it for the family and for her. She cant attend due to her work. Her mother attends a catholic church. She allows our daughter(my step daughter) to attend church with her grandma in exchange for attending with me. I have to force my one son still at home to attend and so I don't make him go. I don't she the logic in the "family needs to attend" when the family doesn't attend now. Social gathering is important, true enough. My plan was to take our daughter on a walk in the park, hunting and fishing while we talk about God and or to God. But I will honor my wife too. She is just freaked out cause it seems so foreign at the time. God has control, His will not mine will be done
