2blave: Oh, and you ALSO might know that I made a grammatical error- I meant to say "when something wrong is happening.." I think I messed up because I was so thrown back by your comment, if you don't already know that.
2blave: Okay, so IF you are directing the comment on "weird feelings" towards me, and saying how "us folks" know when something's going on, well since apparently you know everything also and know the feelings people get when something's wrong is happening behind the scenes, PLEASE inform me because I am so lost. Because you know, "us folks" that are also active members of the church have NO IDEA what's going on- people like you do, so please, help me out !!
IKnowZion: Thanks for your advice and your thoughts but I stick to what I believe in and the only thing that's going to change my mind is whatever happens in court. And also, it doesn't matter if I'm "young", I am just as greatly hurt by this event than any other older person.
Valerie: No, I am not a male. No, my dad is not on council.
I am a lifetime member of Zion, I've been baptized and made my confirmation, taken several classes, and attend every single Sunday. My family has been going there since my dad was born, which was 51 years ago, so we are very involved in Zion. When I found out this recent news about the rape charges, I cannot believe it. I've gone with him on retreats and never felt any weird or strange feelings around him. I think that all of these comments have a point, but we need to get passed this.. I, and the rest of the congregation are in great pain and disbelief, and we will have to see what happens. I will hope that you will keep Pastor Dale and his family, along with the victim's family, as well as the members at Zion in your prayers. And I think I speak on behalf of Zion, or at least the Senior High Youth Group, that we miss the presence of Pastor Dale, but there's nothing we can do to have him back at our church.
