Description:
[I address hard issues that children may need help navigating. Parental guidance is suggested.]
Some people have observed that modern "Christianity" has problems. One concerns mental health issues. I've had usually positive experiences. Yet, I am delaminating from my present congregation. Given the particulars, what malfunctioned: just me? My autism? Or some larger issues?
I've been at odds with beloved churches before. Yet am I the only common denominator?
Well, noise is a frequent issue. In some churches (especially with sound systems) I've felt uncomfortable amounts of physical pain — while wearing hearing protection — plus being in another part of their building! And I'm crazy?! And there are children present?!
May I PLEASE be upset? Am I talking to people — or are only angels listening? Am I part of "the church?" Or am I a prodigal monk from some unnamed, 13th tribe?
