Never again will I waste my time on this cult. Too many years, too much abuse, too much authoritative bullshit. |

You are not alone. You are not the only one biting your tongue and swallowing tears. Breathe. There are others. If “there are others”….then damnit! help each other!!!! I hear your frustration, I'm there too. I'm speaking to those of us who can't leave today or this week. We are helping each other here by providing support here in many ways. Thank you for continuing to call for action. You are pushing us forward and inspiring many. |

I just wanted you (those inside who are there for whatever reason) to know that I am proud of you for being here and for speaking. Open dialog and conversation is necessary for change. Thank you for being willing to talk here. |

These people are hiding predators. You thought the Roman Catholic church was bad? Did you try reading this site? Did it ever cross your mind why they don't want you reading this site? This should speak volumes. Demand better. Do better. Be better. "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" OOPS! Wrong forum!.....let's try that again! Let me start off with two words: Demand better. or: Do better. or: Be better. But really its the first line of the OP that is important: These people are hiding predators. I did listen to rev. Guichelaar's sermon, posted above two or three slots....he may be of help. let him prove himself. let me leave you with two words: Get out. |

God called you to hear HIS words, NOT THE WORDS OF MEN. If you have questions about what MEN are saying, doing or calling you to do, God Himself allows you to speak out. They (the leaders) proclaim that salvation comes through their preaching. That is FALSE!!! It is only through Jesus and the Holy Spirit and they don't need those men. Your leaders condemn the Catholic church for the way they hold to the Virgin Mary and the apostles. Don't they expect you to do much the same though? That you must hear their words to get to God and salvation? It does NOT work that way!!! God does not use gatekeepers who decide who get to Him and who doesn't. You can go directly to Him. You are FREE in Him. You are being kept in bondage in that church. Fear should never be used to control. Jesus gospel was love. In fact, He said that was the greatest command and all else was under. Are your leaders calling for love, always?? Or do they have rules and regulations and hold onto discipline that they claim can condemn someone to hell. How dare they!! God alone can and will judge. John 3:17!! Don't stop after reading only John 3:16. Happy Sunday!

To be honest, making those first strides for my well-being was scary.
There is comfort in knowing what is expected.
What I found out was that I spent years, many years, holding my breath — looking the other way at all the inconsistencies, thinking that absolutely nothing else out there was for me.
I was holding myself back from SO MUCH LIFE, and LOVE. ❤️ It’s not just a relaxing from being able to breathe again, but it’s also a brighter vibrancy in EVERYTHING. Like releasing that exhale gave me a chance to breathe real oxygen again.
Stop holding your breath, and looking the other way.
It’s time to live again.

As you sit in the PRC/RPC pew tomorrow…
1. Think of all the friends and families that are divided because of your false gospel.
2. Think about self-focused your denomination is when there are many in need, even in your own neighborhood.
3. Be embarrassed by how you look to outsiders. That your shame and guilt might move you to do something about the wickedness you are contributing to.
4. Think about Christian’s who live somewhere where there is no Christian presence. They would love to have communities of faith, whereas you take it for granted and murder the Christian’s around you.

The rest of us are sleeping in.
Or maybe working.
Or going to a nonPR service.
Either way, we are enjoying our day more than anyone at a PR service.

Just wanted to share that your post reminded me of a Matt Maher song called "Alive Again": You called and You shouted Broke through my deafness Now I'm breathing in and breathing out I'm alive again You shattered my darkness Washed away my blindness Now I'm breathing in and breathing out I'm alive again |

The leaders of the PRCA claim the authority of Christ but have the accountability of toddlers.

This thread title should read:
"As you sit in the pew next to a sex abuser today, just remember:"

"As you sit in the pew this weekend, remember you're sitting somewhere in the 4 corners of a flat earth."  just do it now. |
