I stuck around a long time before I left the evangelical world (but never have been able to leave it completely behind, because I loved many things about it, or maybe its just ingrained in me). Not to say that I don't love where I ended up, because I do. But if everybody jumped ship, where would the "ghetto" busters then be found? The ones who shake us out of our complacency? We need them in every church (including mine), I thank God for them, because I so love my comfort. I just can't seem to locate that key scripture, "And I shall provide for your comfort in both mind and body, considering your considerable self-righteousness, and put you among the well-dressed and bathed." No, I guess we all need a good shaking now and then, as individuals and as churches.pennyyakhttp://pennyyak.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-88338463102091965092009-05-07T16:59:00.000-07:002009-05-07T16:59:00.000-07:00Is BPD (as you've described it) related to what's ...Is BPD (as you've described it) related to what's commonly called "Drama-rama" or "Drama Queen"? From your description, it seems that a BPD has "bang-bang" emotional states (i.e. nothing in-between) on a hair trigger. <br /><br />I experienced something similar in my immediate family for a couple years, never knowing what (if anything) I did or said would trigger an immediate go-for-the-throat counterattack. It was one of several factors that contributed to my estrangement from my parents.<br /><br />Headless Unicorn GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-78852293032114315802009-05-07T16:49:00.000-07:002009-05-07T16:49:00.000-07:00Please stick around in there.

MAYBE if I move and find a good medium. I agree with what you said (back in January, 2008) about liking Donald Miller but disliking his response. If this is truth, we should help everyone not only ourselves. Some can leave but some should stick around.Jaimie Teekellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07845537262456320501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-62316923171523506502009-05-07T14:01:00.000-07:002009-05-07T14:01:00.000-07:00I think there are more of us out there than (I for...I think there are more of us out there than (I for one) realized. It is good to know that we are not alone. <br /><br />I still live in the Evangelical world and it can make me feel like I'm the nutty one, if it wasn't for some of my "Internet" buddies.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240462070445948163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-44614391639016437902009-05-07T13:41:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:41:00.000-07:00I love your blog.

It is so good to read someone with these thoughts.Jaimie Teekellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07845537262456320501noreply@blogger.com
