leaving a church, isn't leaving God.. but it's like, the way people have reacted to other people leaving this church before, that's what they think it is.
they label people and say, they're not 'doing well'

a classic story.
one of my old old friends, left this particular church.
and told people from that church that he was going out drinking and partying, because he knew they would spread it around.
and they did.
they said he wasn't 'doing well', that he was 'backslidden'
but he wasn't.
he had just been going to a different church...

this doesn't make sense.

this isn't how it should be.

i've lost what i thought was my family.
it really is changing a lot.

i don't think i can stay.

i don't think anything is going to change my mind this time.

i do believe this church is doing some good things.
and it has an unbelievable youth pastor, that is changing the way kids perceive God.

and he isn't cliche, he is original and actually realistic and knows what he does.

and that's what we need.

but this time, i don't think i can partner with that.

i don't think i can help..
not anymore.
