Hi Gena,

Would I be right in assuming you're a woman?
My wife is called Gina with an "i".
Thank you for the welcoming!

Wow, you ask about my story. I'm kind of trying to understand my story.
Have been reading bible-truths for a few months now after searching a lot
for answers to the "obvious" questions which I think one starts having when
in churches.
I'm still going to a church. I'm a leader of what we call a "zone". Our zone being
the foreigners in a foreign country(Taiwan).
I do not believe as before. I've seen the truth here. I have feelings of guilt towards
my friends in church and the pastor and other fellow churchgoers. Perhaps feeling that I'm letting
them down. I know I'm not, but those are the feelings if I have to b honest.
I kind of know that it is a matter of time before I quit my position. it seems inevitable.
Not something I'm looking forward to because of the small community I'm in.

Maybe the members here can help with some encouraging words as to how they managed
getting out of the Babylonian system.

As for my "story", I'll think more about it. Maybe I'll keep posting here with some questions
and updates about how I'm getting out of her.

Thank you for this site's encouragement and peace to you all.

Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome! I'm so glad you found this site.

As far as leaving your church group, it will be hard, because I'm sure you are all close. However, because you are seeing God's truths and they are in conflict with those of your group, as you said, it is inevitable. It is a difficult step because we all want fellowship and don't want to disappoint our friends. But you won't be able to keep quiet, and eventually you will leave, or you will be asked to leave. Sorry about that. It's a wrenching experience, but also full of joy when you are in the strong hands of our Father.

I pray that God will give you strength and courage.

Love,

Ursula

Hello Paul,

      Welcome to the forum.  I am fairly new here myself, and I have to say that your question is a very timely one!!  My husband and I are going through a rough time-he does not see what I have seen in the Bible.  So, we are studying together-just started last night.  The first subject we are working on is Hell.  And it is difficult for me because I don't know all of the answers and I do not want to debate with him.  But we ended on this very portion of scripture about the body and soul being destroyed in hell(Gehenna).  He could not deny that the word used here is destroy-which we both agreed that it means just that-to destroy.  But I don't believe it has changed anything in him.  He has an open mind-to some degree.  But I really think he is just desiring to get the "false teachings out of our home" so to speak. 

As for leaving Babylon, I am still there-in body.  My husband told our pastor about my beliefs and I think this is the first step to something.  I admit that I am scared.  My husband is loyally devoted to the church and the pastor-he is a good man, and the church is full of good people.  It will be a tough journey I am sure-I do not know how it will go, but one thing is for sure-I cannot see myself going back to believing that most of humanity is going to hell for eternity.

I pray for you, and for me, that we continue in the truth and trusting God no matter what comes our way.  Blessings to you!

In Christ's love,
Beth
