 CAUTION: If you&#8217;re easily offended by criticism of the church, do not read any further.
 A few days ago, a friend of mine reminded me of how long it had been since I posted anything to this blog. When I logged into my blog today  I  had over a thousand comments to other posts, which had not been moderated (approved or disapproved).   Reading through more than a  handful of the comments along with my friend&#8217;s reminder a few<a class='readmore' href='http://churchoffline.com/2011/01/church-indoctrination-benefits-for-you-and-yours/'>&#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE SEA tossed the boat wildly atop waves ten to fifteen feet high, as the violent winds funneled through the east-west aligned hills of Galilee. The experienced fishermen were all too familiar with the ferocious storms, and as the thunder crashed above their voices they struggled, trapped in the basin of the deadly storm. The men slid from one side of the boat to the other, unable to balance themselves long enough to pail water out of the boat.

		<description><![CDATA[ IT WAS THE END of Memorial Day weekend (last month) and I was  working out of town, in Oklahoma.  Much of my work in the film/video  industry requires a lot of post-production editing, which means I spend  more of my waking hours in front of a computer than anything else.  I had just returned from Florida, where I had been working on a project  with a client &#8211; an international recording artist.  It so happened, that I  had decided<a class='readmore' href='http://churchoffline.com/2010/07/thief-in-the-night/'>&#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

Religious-based&#8230;
 Misconstrued...
Misunderstood&#8230;
Misinterpreted&#8230;period.
THOSE ARE the first few words that come to mind when I think about the most common teachings and warnings given about DIVORCE, which are hurled from pulpits, spewed out by pastors and teachers around the nation every Sunday at church.  Now I know what most of you are thinking&#8230;
Please don&#8217;t tell us that you&#8217;re going to say that DIVORCE IS OKAY WITH GOD&#8230;because WE know what GOD says about divorce.
Well&#8230;in fact, hold on to your Starbucks &#8211; or<a class='readmore' href='http://churchoffline.com/2010/05/get-divorced-gods-not-mad/'>&#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

Almost every personal website has an &#8220;About Me&#8221; button somewhere on the menu. Almost every company website has an &#8220;About Us&#8221; button. Don&#8217;t roll your eyes &#8211; I&#8217;m not going to write about the opposition to the i-Centered society we live in&#8230;
Okay&#8230; I am. That&#8217;s exactly what I am going to write about. Roll your eyes. (Go ahead&#8230;you know you want to.)

&#8220;I know, I know, I know&#8230;&#8221;
These have been the words I&#8217;ve repeated to my friends and family over the past several months.  As you can see, it&#8217;s been quite a while since my last blog posting.  Since many of you have been so patient in waiting for my return from the hiatus, this entire posting is going to be dedicated to my explanation of my absence on my own blog.

My wife, my family, and most of my friends already know.
For the most part, I am not a fan of today&#8217;s Christian Church.  I am not prejudice either &#8211; I am not singling out the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, LDS or even the non-denominational members.  I am talking about most of the Christian Church as a whole.  You&#8217;ve probably noticed by now; I have purposely placed emphasis on the words, most and Christian.  Two reasons for<a class='readmore' href='http://churchoffline.com/2010/03/slider-one/'>&#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

There! I said it.
Let me preface by saying this: I know this is going to rub some of my readers the wrong way &#8211; and I am okay with the consequences, but those of you who really know me, know where I stand on this nonsense.
So, here goes.
There are several common terms used in psychology, counseling and other &#8220;sciences,&#8221; which have been running rampant for so long that they are now practically embedded in American culture.
