Far too many too mention. But I do things and see things in a certain way because I WANT to - not because I'm TOLD to, or threatened to. My faith is not some behavioural 'straightjacket'.

It's the Fellowship. Being around other like-minded people. It's the same reason you'd find me on certain wrestling and football forums.

I've been up since 4.30am so I'm not firing on all cylinders right now..and I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean with that.
I'm all for any collective having a leader/elder or someone in authority you can go to with questions or for counsel, if that helps.
