You may be right, Wally.

We left the CofC because of the unChristian things going on there, things that are still ongoing. Now, on this forum, Cofcers have come to tell us that we are not being very Christian.

Is it unChristian to separate oneself from a group whose behavior is offensive? Is it unChristian for that group to to deliberately seek out someone who has so separated to tell him that he is not being very Christian?

Looks to me that those who were offended at being "left" are determined to make it a self-righteous effluvium discharge contest.

George
