That was 13 years ago. My brother took me to his church and that was where I saw so many of my co-workers I was shocked. And, the scariest part was that almost every single one of them was recently divorced and remarried to other church members (first spouses wouldn't convert). <BR/>I've learned to never underestimate the power of a church over people and how difficult it is to get to the real agenda for most of them.kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125564002688660589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-29461172753350609552008-09-01T13:20:00.000-05:002008-09-01T13:20:00.000-05:00Mark, I thought I provided more than enough discla...Mark, I thought I provided more than enough disclaimers.

Frankly you do yourself a disservice linking to uneducated dribble like that. Disagree with the lady on her experience, or policies but the stuff he drug up on her is laughable. Her church is pretty main line as far as evangelical churches go. Really the blog piece was way over the top. Find better reasons to reject Palin than this!Stewardshipmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280892388471018481noreply@blogger.com
