P.S.
Has anyone got a link to what Bishop Range had to say, I hear he tore it up as well while stepping on the toes of folks that we often hear from?

Vaughn, thanks for your encouraging words! I do want to contribute in a positive way to people who are transitioning out of a toxic church environment, by sharing what I have learned. If I can help anyone, then what I've gone through will be worth it!
We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water - but there is so much that goes on and taught within the culture of what we call "church" that is not biblical. And it doesn't mean it's wrong, but a lot of it is traditions of men, and Jesus said that men's tradition make the Word of God of no effect.
For anyone who is interested in exploring the roots of our christian practices and want to know why we "do what we do" within church structure there is a book I'd recommend titled 'Pagan Christianity' written by Frank Viola and George Barna and another titled 'The Untold Story of the New Testament Church' by Frank.
However, if you're satisfied with the status quo ~ you may not want to read this, because you'll never look at "church" the same way again (and that's not a bad thing :~) )
