After they get beyond the guilt of not ‘going to church,’ other Dones commonly report a sense of clarity, like a fog lifting, and being able to see spiritual issues more clearly.  They report a new sense of freedom in Christ, a greater reliance on the leading of the Holy Spirit, more relationships with other Christians, a more intentional prayer life, and a closer relationship with God. 

In short, leaving the institutional church has become one of the most positive spiritual decisions in their lives. This site is designed to support and empower Dones and those who are questioning their involvement with the institutional church in their journey.
