My situation with the Local Church

Evangelical, I think you missed the overall point of my post, but Ill address what you're saying.

My main problem with the holding hands was how the LC handled it. Sending elder brothers to sit down in an interrogation style and question her. We will agree to disagree that holding hands of your girlfriend is "implying sexual thoughts".

If you want to believe in arranged marriages than okay, I don't. All I ask is that for those who choose to court and date, that you don't try to intervene against the wishes of the two dating and arrange a marriage despite the two people being in a committed relationship.

These two situations are mere drops in the bucket of the things Ive seen going on in the LC that I am upset with.
Bottom line is I would be happier elsewhere and feel my pursuit of christ would be much less impeded. I don't want a future in the LC.
