I find myself in a quandary. I really like IV and it has become my christian family for the past three years. However, every year I see changes that need to be made and situations that need to be addressed. They are the same changes from year to year. We talk about it and have good intentions to try and change and yet it stays the same. I

christy, i know its really sad toadmit, but i've been at the same conclusion as well. its sad to see happen, but i wonder if other people see it, or if everyone else sees it as being alright. i mean i sit there on thursdays and it seems like stuff is just dead, like peoplecome only to see their friends notto worship and absolutely amazing God. this semester i have also been going to his house. i cant even begin to explain to youhow much i love it there, God is so intertwined in everything we do. if you are free on wednesday or sunday evenings, or want to talk tome more about it, i'mhere. it is hard to leave the group you have been with for so long, i went through the same struggle recently. but you shouldnt be goingthere just because thats how its always been, you should goto get fed and to help feed others. you should go to beable to truly feel a sense of fellowship as a body of Christ. i hear ya girl, youmade pleanty ofsense in that post. we should really get together in the next three weekssometime when you are free, before i leave

Thanks for the encouragement hon! It's so easy to become frustrated and to let Satan take over my thoughts. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that has noticed this because otherwise I would be very disappointed that our eyes to so closed to the actions surrounding us. We DEFINITELY have to get together before you leave :( I'm all for game night :)

IV is very clicky

After spending more than a year and a half I am happy to announce myself IV-free. The cliquiness of IV did not become apparent until the end of last year. I have verbal confessions from those in leadership positions that the only reason they go is to socialize. IV has a highschool mentality, which is unacceptable for a college organization. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for the friends i've made in IV, but once I left many of them don't associate with me anymore. Christy it already sounds like you are out of the loop. Nate was telling me that he was too. The only way to get back in is to act immature and become a groupie, it would be less stressful, and not to mention more uplifting, if you found "another group of christians to hang out with." By the looks of it you already have, I see you've found Garrett Gazlay and Ryan Warden.

IV is like a cancerous tumber, the only way to heal yourself is to sever it off.
