    hi, i'm new....and i am searching for a place to call home....
    i was raised in a strict catholic family....sexually abused by a jesuit priest....left the church....married....was baptized a witness in 1975...regular pioneered for about 5 and a half years (1988 to 1994)...quit that...diagnosed depressed....have slowly drifted away....and now...with the news of what is happening within the organization and offenders and pedophiles....i find that i can't stay in the organization....i can't be a part of something that so closely resembles the catholic church and all their deceptiveness...
    i have no "home".....
    thanks for listening....

    Home is where your heart is. I know it's cliche, but a personal relationship with God begins in your heart...not a church. Stick around dark! I'm glad you're here. You'll find healing and educate yourself at the same time!

    ((hugs))

    Darkwanderer,

    Look yonder, wanderer, light at the end of the tunnel

    Take off your boots, set yourself down, relax, and stay awhile.
