Great, that you didn't get it either...I said, that I have a huge list of things to change, plus I am not talking about a reform either...I am talking about the sheer possibility, that if people...out of TF, not just changing "signboards"...names...etc..having been deeply "purged" whatever you want to understand by it...I do call it repentance (and, yes that happens to be a Christian topic, cause I claim, without Christ you can't have a very deep change)....that then the people having spent whatever time out, could may be form whatever they want to...and yes, it has biblical parallels...you just have to read the OT about Israel and the near destruction and so forth & yet it talks about still salvaging it.

I didn't say it's very realistic...I said/m, it is at least worth the pondering, what should be the prerequisite for them to be acceptable, so that someone in his right mind could recommend the joining to them, like e.g. - if you like that comparison?? - one could somehow recommend the joining of the salvation army...which has somewhat a good reputation, although I have my reservations about it too.

Oh, well...your last sentence makes me realise, we do share similar opinions & you say exactly what I mean: you talk about sincere people...now if they are out of TF & want to form whatever they want to form as a movement - I'd hope for something real Christian for a change - then that's first of all their business anyway...plus business of the government, wherever the laws are more restricted
(christianity isn't liked everywhere!!!)
I meant/wished: those sincere people have some great repentence & then form whatever group they want to call it & it would be very....very different from TF...utopia...may be...probably...but it's a bit off of Jewlz to start to be scared... I mean, to me that's ridiculous to be scared of a "nice utopia"...unless she doesn't want to have another
Christian movement around anyway, which I insinuated...glad, if she proves me to be wrong about that assumption!!
