Remember the Lord Jesus' solemn promise "I will not leave you as orphans"
One brother even wrote a book on church life on the other side of the LC sheep-fold.

The greatest joy in my life since leaving the exclusivist LC mind-set has been finding fellowship with other believers. The internet is a great tool. You are not alone.

By the way, the hardest thing I found was to leave the LC mind-set. Even after I left physically, I would be in a church meeting and someone would be talking and I'd think, "That's not God's economy". That went on for years. It is amazing how their ideas wormed into my thinking.

So true. That religious spirit is strong and deeply attached/embedded in many of us, but God is faithful. He will restore us.

“"Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.”
