Whether it be a physical church congregation, a message board like this or even among one's own family, it's not always easy to find quality, Christian, fellowship. I think the biggest obstacle is the PRIDE of some Christians. It gets in the way of having true fellowship with their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
I recently left Worthy Christian Forums due to the abuse that I received from its owner, George, and a number of its veteran members. What I realized is that it is a clique. There are some very learned and kind Christians there, but George and some of the others are not, unfortunately. One can learn there but they will have to be content to tolerate a certain amount of abuse from George and his clan. If you've visited you'll notice that participation there is relatively low and that's because George and company don't tolerate those that fail to kiss George's ring, so to speak; instead, George casts them into the outer darkness, i.e, bans them.
Proud, haughty, and abusive church leaders like George and his inner-circle are more the norm, unfortunately, rather than the exception.
I am happy to say that I have not seen that type of idol worship and abuse in this community as exists in Pope George's cult.
It's nice to find a community of Christians that is humble and kind to others and I compliment the ownership and management of this site for creating an atmosphere that inspires brotherly and sisterly love for one another.
