Always enjoy reading your stuff because I identify with it so. We've been completely out of church about two years now, it'll give you a completely different perspective about what commitment to a local body should mean. Although I really do think that I was soooo serious about what it means to believe in God that I really loaded it on to myself rather than being coerced in to it. Just my personality, you know, being a reliable, do what you say, practice what you preach, a doer not a hearer only kind of guy, whatever!!David Liemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917769897335392048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-91978286775024999902010-07-30T23:46:03.873-04:002010-07-30T23:46:03.873-04:00Well said, 'God first family second'or'...Well said, 'God first family second'or'Mission first family second' is a common control mechanism exploited by narcissistic pastors to keep the faithful under control. We fell into the same trap and i literally shudder when I think about how we treated our kids during our time in the cult, it is a major source of guilt which is hard to shed. I am really pleased to hear its working out for you and your family, like the blog, than kyou for sharing. wwcnWondering What Comes Nexthttp://weescapedacult.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-68336192194737647692010-07-15T01:26:21.613-04:002010-07-15T01:26:21.613-04:00I totally relate.

I was once told that by putting God first (aka "church") I WAS putting my family first...because you know a mom who isn't right with God isn't a very good mom.
