Are your old fundy friends still your friends?

And since you fundys believe in "local church only" and "no universal church", you won't allow me to resign or transfer me to a non-IFB church. If I leave, it means I'm leaving the body of Christ, which means you have to mark me a hell-bound sinner.

My advice, FWIW, leave. Send the letter or email, make the call, do what you need to to cut off your relationship with that church. God doesn't recognize denomiations, only believers and if you still believe and still love the Lord, that's all that really matters. Right now, IMHO, you're still giving them power over you and it looks like it's hurting you to do it. I long ago came to the conclusion that my fundy friends weren't really friends. We were just a lot of fellow co-enablers keeping each other in fear and ignorance and once I left that behind, I had nothing in common with them. You can go to any church or none and they have nothing to say about it. Oh, they can talk all they want, but talk is cheap and in the end, it's your soul that matters, not what BS they say about it.
BTDT, it's not easy but it's worth it. Zen hugs.
