Steve,
You can't change the color of an orange or an apple. They are what they are. It happens in politics, religion and in family disputes...especially when Divorce is the center of discontent.

If you had been raised as a Baptist and loved the Baptist fellowship except for some erronious views you did not agree with and went to the Baptist leadership, you would be treated in much the same way the LC leadership is treating you. Catholics are excommunicated from the RCC. I have seen it happen in non-denomination congregations as well.

I think that is why people go 'church hopping'. They know they can't fix things from the inside.

God is the only One Who changes the heart and attitudes of man. One day soon, He is going to burn away all the wood, hay and stubble.

Peace be with you Steve!

Carol
