I have not shared anything like this with my own family. I can imagine the calls to repentance that I would get, but most would just not care as you found. I am curious what you found from GC. I just heard more doubling down. There may have been some vague references to doing better as a church, but it just was not there.MalcolmVillager wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 10:55 pm I loves this talk when it came out a few years ago. I sent it to all the adults in nyy extended family with an I citation to watch it and read the essays, along with Planted. I got no response from most and calls to repentance from the others.
I don't see the church changing fast enough to save so many of the members. It is sad to me to see the families ripped apart.
I am hoping for either signs of change or a doubling down at this GC. Either one will work for me as I see this middle of the village lifestyle as untenable for the lokng haul. It will help expedite my decisions.
Let's face it, a church that is concerned about who stands first at the end of a meeting cannot possibly be the same one that recognizes the fallibility of its leaders and takes action to correct past mistakes.
