My best friend is a third generation Christian Scientist. I would like to get in touch with some former cs people who can help me with witnessing to her without her tuning me out. Can someone help me get in contact with people in my area. Is there anyone that can meet with me and help me. I need someone who knows what to say and how to ask the right questions. Please help me find some people to help me.
You may find https://exchristianscience.com and http://ffcsministry.org to be helpful, both have lists of resources for former CS and those questioning or transitioning away from CS.
