Note to Admin:
Should Toledo's question become it's own thread, or maybe be moved to the thread Psychological Damage in the LC? It is a really good question, and may get buried in the current thread. (Not that there haven't been responses already 
).
Toledo: I have been thinking about this question, as well as the one in the Psychological Damage in the LC thread. When I left the LC, I eventually threw out everything. I don't recommend it.
And I do mean I threw out
everything--- God, Jesus, faith, everything --- and eventually, I brought everything back, one at a time. I think Thankful Jane is exactly right:
Quote:
With God, it is safe for us to throw everything out except our faith in Him. He is the God of resurrection with whom we can trust everything, even our very lives. Whatever things are of Him will come back in resurrection, in His time. When they do they will be new.

What I ended up with is so healthy and real --- my relationship with Jesus, my fellowship with other Christians, my relationship with
myself --- a wonderful thing to have.
I hope you get lots of responses, and I hope the other thread does also --- these are such good questions.
