There are forms of old religions that can be very brutal. My dad started his youth in an old baptist church but would never go back as an adult. The new baptist church is quite different, I understand. Any religion that "shuns" someone is nothing more than spiritual abuse.<br />Thank you for sharing your story with us and I look forward to hearing more.
