Encourage

[InTheory]

I would encourage everyone to try to ignore people that enjoy playing God-we all learned this from our spiritual abuse, and unfortunately it pops up here from time to time.

It's great to confront (and good that those of you that are invested did), but don't leave the friends that you have made here because of controversy.

BeginAgain-one word-it's not about you-I mean what everyone has gone through-their healing is not about you, and you can't save them. What IS about you is participating, learning, and being a part of community. Stop playing Jesus-he already did that once.

I'll say these things because I'm not a regular here now, and don't mind taking some shots-these are lovely people, including you-the reason that people are upset is because you are trying (I would assume with good intention) to pastor them-these people don't need pastors-they need friends.

Thanks.
