Greetings in Jesus Name,

I would like to share with this list a private post that I received. I
have edited this post to hide the identity including the sex of the
sender to shield them from any embarrassment. This post and several
others have made me cry because I know how they feel. These people are
part of your family. Where I have edited this post, I use [EDITED] to
identify that fact.

Hello Floyd
Haven't heard much from you lately. How are you? Did you go back to the
[EDITED]? I enjoyed reading Hurting V Debate. Some may not understand it
but I certainly do. I have been there - am there now. I wish I had your
courage to be honest with people and to let my hurt and confusion show.
Because I am a [EDITED] in the [EDITED] church I have to play charades
with people. I am well aware that the [EDITED] will not tolerate any
weakness or confusion in my doctrine. I thought when I joined the HF
list, that I could share and minister with others on the list. It hasn't
worked that way for me. They really should have secret membership so
people could be honest without any fear of reprisal. 
I am not perfect and I know that. It really hurts to play the part of a
hypocrite and act like I have no problems. Yes I am considering going to
the [EDITED] also. I think it would be much easier to live with the
trinity than the hypocrisy.
[PARAGRAPH EDITED OUT TO PROTECT IDENTITY]
At any rate bro Floyd, I just wanted you to know that at least one
person understands how you feel. Pray for me and I will pray for you.
By the way I have been reading the [EDITED] web page. It is nice. You
can find it at [EDITED]. 
I love you bro Floyd, pray for me.
[EDITED]

END EDITED FORWARD

Floyd comments:

I am not going to comment on this post. I think it speaks for itself.

I will say that if you are on this list or read the Higher-Fire Archives
and you are hurting, write me at feavery@prysm.net. I will not try to
tell you what to think or where to go to Church but I will share your
hurt and Pray for you.

Christian love,
Floyd E. Avery

So I'll worship only at the feet of Jesus. His cup alone-my Holy
Grail.                
There'll be no other gods before Him. Just Jesus only will never fail.
