Hello there!
I left the LC bacon 1978-79…I also left the institutional denominations/non denominations around 2015-16

On occasion, I visit one or two. Truly, truly I say unto you

. I am totally free and read, study my Bible and pray, worship, Praise give Thanks more than I ever have. I also share God’s Word and encourage people with The LORD’S promises.

However, I have been attending Bible study with pretty much the same group for about 7-8 years. We don’t always agree on certain doctrines but we are free to disagree and remain good friends. We get together for dinner and game night on Saturdays. Everyone there goes “to church” on Sunday except me. But giving God ALL the Glory, I contribute the most in our discussions also quoting scripture. We all share though and we can become a bit feisty from time to time.

There are times I have wanted to stop going to Bible study because I get frustrated. I know I would remain friends outside of Bible study but I get talked out of leaving. 😁 Then I am glad I didn’t.

I brought a young 21 year old friend who was DONE with her church. On her very first visit boy, did we get into a HEATED discussion. After Bible study, we all hung around like we always do eating snacks and munchies talking away about whatever.

My friend loved how we can argue and remain great friends. She is now attending church with one of the couples in our Bible study. Oh and btw, everyone attends different non denomination churches. One is a die hard Catholic but loves our Bible studies. She is 88 yrs young

There is LIFE and Joy outside of the LC. May the HOLY SPIRIT direct your path to the true believers who will welcome you and uplift you. Or Perhap, He will lead you to start a Bible study. May ALMIGHTY GOD grant you Wisdom and counsel you through Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit.
