I have spent most of my life travelling, and my experience is that if you attend a church for a while and then go elsewhere, either in town or out of town (most of the time out of town) then no matter what efforts you make to stay connected the church totally disconnects from you. I thought that was true until I ended up staying in one place for 3 years, and then we got to know a lot of people, and then again left due to work, and were away for 7 years and most people stayed in touch with us and included us, then my wife died suddenly, and now all I hear is how far away I am. OTher far away people dont' hear that. Meanwhile I've heard from local people that if you go to another local church they as a policy cut you off and don't talk to you anymore.They say this is biblical but I dont' think so.It's like is your brother no longer your brother because you move?If your sister moves, aren't they still your sister?What makes you not a part of a church, just moving on doesn't ?????THANKS
