Free to fellowship with every child of God
:First of all I would like to thank you for this forum, It is indeed a pleasure and a priviledge to share my experience and the liberty I have found in a personal relationship with my Savior, Priest, and King; Jesus the Christ.

Leaving “The Church”
Looking back throughout my childhood and teen years, I realize it was always called “The Church,” as I suppose most churches are called which promote themselves as the one true organization representing Christ on earth. Not only did it profess to be Christ’s sole representative, but it professed itself to be the only church which CONTAINED... Read More
So…am I a heathen now?
Former (or current) Church Goers of (Unmentioned) Church: As some of you may know I grew up in the church. I loved it and my fellow members while I was young and even going into Junior High. Once hitting High School new members came into the group that also attended my School. While this would... Read More
Life outside the church walls
Answering the question, “Why did you leave the church?” is a frustrating experience for me because most of the time, people don’t listen to what I have to say.

A Different Way
I seem to have come a different way than most. I first encountered God in the wilderness. He led me back in. Then, He led me out again. Why? I think to show me those who didn’t know that they didn’t know. This was the first thing He showed me, yet I did not understand... Read More
Driven into His Arms
Hi-My husband and I left the church about 5 years ago at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Several things had happened which made our departing less difficult. The main thing for me was seeing false doctrine being taught in the system as truth, and the heart of Jesus’ message of denying self and being... Read More
