Why I Went Back

[poliphilo]

I didn't go back to church for God. Or not exactly. I went back for the people.

God... people....maybe it comes to much the same thing. Anyway, the fact is I didn't have enough people in my life .

People are God in his/her most challenging manifestation.

I'd been limiting my contact with people after the Wicca experience. That hadn't ended well- and along the way there had been lots of hurt- given and received.

I don't apologize for sitting in my cave for a while. It was the right thing to do at the time.

But this is the right thing to do now.

I am sorry that you suffered hurt in your former community. In fairness to all, as a Christian, I have to admit to the sins of my own group, and acknowledge that we can be as wrong as the next group. We do not always adhere to the teachings of Christ, even though we are supposed to do this. Sometimes we have to backtrack, or change our route. Sometimes one congregation does not fulfil one's needs, and it is needful to change.
I do like the way you put it "...this is the right thing to do now."

I suffered hurt and I caused hurt. I don't believe I got anything I didn't deserve.

All human groups are problematic- some are more problematic than others.
