I very much feel in the same position, though it sounds like you're steps ahead of me on this subject. It's a fearful one...messing around with authority when you've been trained to NOT mess with authority is...scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-12468774073380944892007-01-22T11:32:00.000-07:002007-01-22T11:32:00.000-07:00Hi Grace,

I am looking to find participants in my confidential Questionnaire.<br /><br />The topic revolves around those who have attended various Pentecostal and/or Charismatic types of churches and for various reasons became disillusioned. Some of these reasons include erroneous teachings, authoritarian leadership, spiritual abuse and general disappointment. People have left and gone to churches which they perceive are safer or have found fellowship elsewhere.<br /><br />How could I post my email address to encourage participation in this Questionnaire? Any ideas?<br /><br />Thanks for the help,<br />BarbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-74757874553866389752007-01-20T07:07:00.000-07:002007-01-20T07:07:00.000-07:00Thanks everyone.

Instead, we are instructed to follow those who are good examples. The two do not go together. If someone follows me, it does not mean that I now have authority to direct them. They are completely different ideas.<br /><br />I'm also interested in hearing what you've learned about this.<br /><br />-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-69048796680644003002007-01-19T09:39:00.000-07:002007-01-19T09:39:00.000-07:00Grace,
