Loren,

Well said. I appreciate that you were honest and generous in your apology, actions that arose from a deep love for God that has given you a sense of fairness and respect. 

Like you, I was raised being taught and believing all those things you remembered from your youth. Then I discovered how disconnected those things were from the Gospel that Jesus taught and practiced and my faith collapsed. It is only by the amazing grace of God that I am still a believer because God had to rebuild my faith from the ashes of that destruction. That was such a traumatic experience that I fear for the faith of the anti-WO faction when they realize the damage they are doing and how many souls they are turning away from God. So I am waiting with sympathy for them to nurture the rebuilding of their faith so the energies they now are devoting to fighting God can be put to building the Kingdom of God.
