Sis, this is not uncommon, I have heard of others that have been
blacklisted for non-compliance. There was a fledgling Bible-Study group
here at work that I tried to get into. They were very receptive until I
mentioned baptism and then they moved the meeting site and changed the
day. The isolation we have is not our choice.

Lord Bless,
Bill

PS: remember there will come a time when men will not endure sound
doctrine, but will look for ear-ticklers in ministers.
