hmmm, read any news report in the last several years, clergy is suspect. Some of them pimp God and religion for their own gain. They can be like the financial planner that takes all the $$ and screws over the honest hard working person. I guess only trust God, but what if God is actually something other than God? Hope for a loving God?
Wow, I have been gone from Zion for many many years. I grew up in the church. Crazy8, did I kiss you once in the back parking lot?
To yous all who question when and why the girls came forward, shame on you.
To all of us that are parents, learn from this, love your spouse, don't trust anyone with your kids. My experience in the church has given me a solid foundation to build my life. I don't worship weekly, oh hell, not monthly or yearly, but I am spiritual. I am a happy grounded person irl.
This blog has reminded me of all the friends I had in the church. I miss you all, and wish I had stayed connected.
Mark is a smart man, that is all I'll say about that.
I can see Dale as a monster. lIke some of you have said, now, not then. I feel bad for him, what he did to his family and the church. We all have done things we are ashamed of. I chugged wine and waffers in the sacristy. (I guess the rest of you that were there know who I am)
To the women that we abused. I support you 1000%. My wife was abused as a child, I know the sturgles you are going through at this point in your life. It's not easy, but you WILL get to a point of acceptance and understanding. Know that you never did anything wrong.
I'm not sure what my point is, or spelling or sentance structure, but this has helped me, I guess, mourn, I hope it helps someone out there.
