[quote=Anonymous]For sure many people, particularly young people, are seeking the more conservative, liturgical churches. We have been lcms Lutherans for 10+ years now and have never been more at peace.There are so many problems with the deconstructionists (and this coming from a Lutheran haha) but here are some notable ones-
1) Be careful if your new doctrine causes a sudden abandonment of lifelong ethical 
and/or behavioral standards. The all of a sudden, frequent spewing of 4 letter words, overnights with boyfriends, and silly flaunting of privilege like trespassing make you seem like a goofy teen on school holiday more than someone who has thrown themselves into sincere theological study and prayer.
2) If a change or evolution in a tenet of your faith seems to result in you seeming to trash the whole thing, what was your faith based on? 
3) Do you handle your new outlook with a spirit of humility, realizing that we can all be wrong sometimes? Do you believe that in the end, it is we who will need to agree with God and not the other way around?

I also think it should be said that not all women over 40 want to have a "tribe" or wear giant hats. Friendships are great and important, even for introverts, but Jens group has always seemed more like a mean girl clique to me. There is nothing about her that evokes a welcoming kind of friendliness. The whole thing just seems off.
