    99- Welcome to the board ! Many of us like yourself had elders for fathers and were raised in strict , rather controlling households. Some of us had it worse than others- sounds like your case was pretty severe. I'm sorry you went through that. Please know you are among friends here who understand. Hope to hear more from you. Hang in there & take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    Welcome 99. Just a word of caution..watch out for that Elderelite guy. I guarantee you'll pee your pants with some of the stuff he comes up with. He's the poster child for "How to make people laugh". There are some funny people here, some serious people here and everthing in between.

    Hope you enjoy your stay...

    Hello and welcome.

    I was also the "good girl" who raised eyebrows because I lived alone and didn't take any crap from the elders.

    John 5:23 (New International Version)

    23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

    1 John 1:1-7 (New International Version)

    The Word of Life
    1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our [ a ] joy complete.
    Walking in the light
    5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all [ b ] sin.

    Blessings in Christ,
