Having a rough time
Little Joe:
Thanks everybody,
Things are getting better already. My former pastor wrote me an e-mail and was very kind about me leaving, saying he respected the way I left. I just didn't walk out, and I felt good about that. :)

Hello Little Joe
I was in the Church for years until God began to drag me out. I did not recognise it was God but now I can see that it was HIM that I felt in pain as I stood as a leader in the Church in front of all the blind people who were listening to and believing in false teachings. I too did not want to leave or be separated from what I falsely believed was the Truth. It was painful but I am SO BLESSED to be out of that SYSTEM where people are encouraged to be false, to wear double minds and to behave in socially acceptable ways in order to belong. My heart was so far from God and as HE drew me out it was necessary that HE (God) cut my ties and then mend the gaping wound that the claw of Babylon had in my soul. I could not do it. I could not even see in those days but I could feel and it hurt but is was truly for the best and such a gift and blessing.
For me, the real Church of God is Christ, His Mind, His Ways and His Truth that is far from the ways of the world. So we are quite far out here! ;D and it is wonderful! :)
Peace to you

Wow!! You are so right! Thanks for the encouargement. I feel like all my prayers from over the past 20 years are being answered. I can see we are called to pain for a season, and a reason :D

I think the scripture you have at the bottom of your posts says it all, Little Joe. You will find fellowship here as God deals with us in like manners such as being dragged out of babylon. I too have lost friends due to the change God has taken me through. But I am blessed beyond measure for even being counted worthy of what I know now (which is only in part). The transformation from darkness to light is not always comfortable, but is necessary.
God Bless

That is so wonderful Little Joe.
Thank you for sharing what the Lord Jesus is doing in your life.
Peace be to you brother
Arcturus :)
