I would love some more clarification on this. What sorts of duplicitous behaviour? who are the victims?
Thank you (and the other respondents) for not simply rejecting me. I feel a deep need to talk through my concerns, which are likely to be exaggerated in my head. I signed up to another forum, but my account was banned when I stated my position.
I do not wish to bash the Church for any reason because it is my life, but I have recently become aware of some things to which I was oblivious for decades (because information simply wasn’t available in the 20th century like it is now).
I wish to avoid having my account banned, and I certainly have no desire to lead anyone astray.
I’ve also timed this badly because I signed up just before leaving for our family vacation, and we are in a remote place with limited network access.
