If you want more details feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks for being open and honest with us Freedom. One of the main functions of this forum is for current LC members in your position to process, and this is not an easy thing to do in the confines of your own heart and mind, much less out here in cyberspace, but I can assure you that your sacrifice is worth it's weight in gold to the many lurkers out there who might be going through the exact same thing.

One thing I would encourage you to accomplish before you totally abandon meeting with the LC is to find a good, solid evangelical fellowship to meet with on a regular basis. I can tell you from personal experience that there will be a vacuum to fill, and it is best filled with solid, biblical worship and fellowship among some mature believers. Most of us oldies but goodies on this forum had to go it alone and suffered through some pretty tough times...some of us still are. I would suggest a mid-sized fellowship (maybe 200-500) that would be large enough for you to not have a spotlight on you, but not so large as to make you feel like your lost in a sea of strangers. Most evangelical churches nowadays have small "cell groups" which are pretty much home meetings where 15-20 members meet on a weekly basis for more personal fellowship.
