LC Discussions is the wrong venue for him.
I wasn't here when 11of101 posted, so I don't how he carried himself out here.

However, I've communicated with him thru email, and he seems okay in our discussions.

So I'm inclined to think we should have considered that 11of101 was going thru some post local church cognitive dissonance and troubles, and maybe we should have been more long suffering toward him.

Cuz I think 11of101 had some important contributions to the forum, if we could have just let vent some of the pressure built up in him.

Talking the talk is good, but sometimes we need to walk the walk with some of our wayward brothers and sisters, and care for them, especially if their troubles were a result of leaving the local church.
