My wife and I are starting the membership process of a new church in the area. Our old church basically washed their hands of us when we asked 2 of the elders for help right after we were first married. "we are not equip to handle a problem like yours. Perhaps you can find help at one of our sister churches." Then shortly their after all of my 'work' was either taken or willfully surrendered. I have been kinda wandering the wilderness" so to speak for the last 10 or so years. The last 5 of which i spent answering questions on line. (Had to get my house in order first, and took a year off recovering.)
Now we are both ready to start a new church together. They are going to ask what I have been doing the last 10 or so years. After the sob story i have to tell about the 1st 4 years I want to be able to point to This web site and the other one that I have been working on. Here in lies the problem. One of you asked or accused me of comming here to brag to other members of my church or to point to the work I am doing with "these heathens." This was not my orginal intention, and it is still not my intention. However I do want to use the work i have done here to point to what I believe, and as a testament to how i work with others.
So I want to get a consensus of what you all think, about me using what has been posted here as a frame of reference. I want to teach again, and I believe alot of the questions here would give the people interviewing me a good idea of who I am and what I believe. That said I can all but ensure that this will not lead to an influx of believers, as this information will only be shared with just a few people.
I will honor whatever the results of this poll turn out to be.
Can I use your forum, your threads post and my responses as a frame of reference in a up comming interview

Do you want your thoughts and discussions to remain between us?
