[quote=Anonymous]Much of what is talked about here are the excesses in materialism, narcissism, and just plain shallow silliness od much of her content. But the dark side of it all is, at least for Christians, how many women has she convinced to leave church entirely? She is to some degree responsible for much deconstruction and subsequent loss of faith due to her "influence" as a teacher, church founder, and writer. We made our way through several churches before we found our home- and so have many others. While there are truly awful examples of abuse within churches, most of the time its a matter of finding the place that best teaches the truth as best as we can discern it, worships in a style that seems most reverent and helps one another consistently in a loving way. I am sad that people give up on church entirely due to the opinions of one self absorbed person- Jen or anyone else. And I pray that she can eventually come to a true faith of her own. Right now its like these deconstructionists are drowning people who try to pull everyone else down with them. Why do we assume "deconstruction" is always for the better? Often it means tearing down a belief system with no mind to reform or contemplation of the fact that many true Christians have thrived withing the confines of said church. Maybe if you cannot "deal" with church, there is something the matter with you, not necessarily them.[/quote]
