Hi Jack, And welcome to CBF. I want you to know that you are very, very welcome here. And not only that, but at least here we don't have to worry about pretending or being deceptive. We can be honest about ourselves and our feelings without having to worry about criticism or anything like that. Of course, you don't want to give out your full, real name, or where you live, or anything. We still have to keep up some anonymity because this is a public forum and can be accessed by anyone. I know what your saying, though, Jack. I even quit going to church because I didn't feel as though I could be both totally honest AND totally acepted there. There are some of us who have "come out" to thier pastors, but these are the exceptions, definately not the "rule". But, I thank God you have found us and have decided to share with us as well. Please know that we need you probably just as much as you might need us. So please consider yourself "home"! I hope, personally, that one day this forum won't be needed, that we can all just be ourselves (as far as folks knowing all about us) in our churches and elsewhere, but until then, we have each other and CBF! Take care and keep on coming back. God Bless! Your's in Christ's Love, Chris |
