Yet you did answer; you just didn't address the question. Your answer was an avoidance, a deflection of attention from the substance of the question(which only deepened my suspicions).

Of course I could have asked more politely. Of course I'm a bitter, small-hearted ex-member. But my questions are real. Avoiding the substance doesn't make the questions go away.

A forum is a place to have conversations, to make mistakes and apologize. To forgive others. To testify of the hope within us, not just the hurts. It is a lot of things. Sure, I posture plenty. But the Lord said, "If you forgive others, God will forgive you." So I try not to bear grudges, and hopefully God will have mercy on me.

But the questions remain. There are a lot of people out there with questions. A lot of people.
