I'm encouraged by both KSA's and Suanne's experiences (with their spouses, of course).

Suanne, I'm wondering if you would echo the sentiment that, in a certain sense, the Local Church has ruined you to "Christianity." I'm just wondering if it is a matter of conscience that you have not sought out a more organized fellowship. Forgive me for being presumptuous.

More generally - I'm wondering what does it imply of the truth (or not, if you prefer) concerning the "local church" that many ex-members seek out alternative "assemblies," house churches, and cell groups instead of joining more mainstream churches (and yes, I realize that some do).
