But I’m learning some of my best, and often only sources for wisdom besides the ordained are the Bible & CC.
Again, please don’t misunderstand, just some recent personal observations.
Your observations are valuable. Everyone sees things a little differently… and that is good.
It seems to me that in the forums, and elsewhere in the Church, a person can be “suppressed” or whatever… I often get the feeling it is “not OK” to feel this or think that… People get stifled because they think that if they think or feel something that seems “anti-Church” (??) or whatever, thye are going 2 “get it”… and often, they do… Pretty pathetic…
I think that as long as a person doesn’t trash the Church in every way (tho they may question this or that…), they should b able to express their views… If a person notices something “amiss”, whether in Church or elsewhere, i believe it is his/her duty to do or say something about it… Otherwise, he/she is not being true to him/herself… and couild be keeping the Church from being healed somehow…
Of course, one has to be willing to be “crucified”
But hey, if u say something in a positive way, that should count 4 something…
Anyway, i really believe that if someone sees or thinks they see something “wrong”, he should feel free to express that… If not, something is wrong. But there is a lot wrong (in my opinion) in the Church right now
God bless… thanks for sharing…
