Hello! I was in Ohio for most of my life, raised by my two parents who joined the way in the 70's. I was a somewhat enthusiastic "believer" until my early 20s and then I dove in - went Way Disciple after I graduated college then moved in with ministers in Syracuse, New York. I left everything behind and I was so worried that I wouldn't be okay without "God's protection." But I have to say, my life is improving. I have a master's degree, a great job, a great car, and will soon co-own a home. None of that would have been possible if I was still giving away 10%+ of my income and afraid of debt. I feel like I have a brighter future than the Way Royalty (as we jokingly called them in college) who were booted recently. I have transferrable skills, I can talk like a normal person in society, and I no longer have to hide "my" religious views from others. Imagine that.

What these dip s——-s don’t understand is we that have left have marked and avoided them!

true - maybe because they're all being shellfish ...I mean selfish ...don't give me those crusty looks over a bad pun - this isn’t my first Bisque-o-theque ...conch you sea this whole thing has gone cray cray...it's the urchin-cy of our times, man!

Whoever said she is a Christian?

Know what I mean, Vern? I wish that your exhortation, Twinky, was realistic... but I can't see it falling anywhere but on deaf ears at least in NK, OH. Just today, I read a review a friend on Goodreads.com posted about James Baldwin's play The Amen Corner. From the review, I'm hoping to borrow a copy of The Amen Corner from one of the local public library's near me.
