Then start one ! LOL

LOL I have visited many

but..

I dont know

I have been watching services online

It certainly is weird..because I went to church my entire life.. every moment the doors were open

first time in my life I don't have one to attend

that I feel right about

Services online count too. That's cool if you don't have a like-minded church to go to.

It isn't because of any other reason..other than I just haven't found one yet. I am not angry.. I don't hate church.. nothing lol No rebellion

I understand

Honestly.. there are mormon churches out here in AZ.. every square mile or less.. so.. I guess I say that to say.. it seems to be pushing other churches out..

@Notsoperfect There's a great church online that I watch if I'm sick at home. Reall good services.

Oh yeah? could you send me a link ?

Sure !

thanks 🙂

Stand By

Yes Sir.

Just my opinion, but I don’t know that you need a church. It can be a personal thing and if you get the right support of others when needed or asked. That should work. I guess I’ve got a thing about the hierarchical aspect and those at the top. It’s not about that or them. It’s about you and your relationship with God and how you’re going to live your life as you interpret his word.
Just my 2 cents for what it’s worth.

I appreciate your words @kreskin1 and I understand what you are saying. Church is full of imperfect people.. and there are always things we won't like.. but bible talks about not forsaking ourselves.. in meeting together.. for the purpose of fellowship and worshiping.. But You are right.. above all? Our relationship with the Lord is what matters. But remember you are talking to a Pastor's daughter LOL

I got booted as a kid because I guess I wasnt the type they were nurturing.
Didn’t appreciate those that go rogue I guess. Lol

I am sorry you had that experience @kreskin1

People can really stink sometimes

It was what it was.

trust me I have been disappointed in a whole lot of people in my life.. even ones at church lol

But you know that not every church.. or every pastor.. or ever christian is like that.

I think its hard when you have a bad experience as a child..it sticks with you the rest of your life.

Just like.. one Grocery store.. in your town can be dirty.. never stocked..managers are jerks.. cashiers lazy.. but the one across the street.. it the complete opposite. We are very flawed people.

I meant no disrespect, but have a little residue from that and some of the others that use it for personal benefit.
Agreed. All must be independently assessed for their character.

Yes a lot use things for their own benefit

I would agree with you that it happens

Maybe I wanted to self guide thru all of that.

I understand

@kreskin1 I understand where you're coming from. I have been on both sides of the fence. There were churches I wound up running from. Then, just stayed away for awhile. But when I found a great church finally, there's just nothing like it. You feel at home. You have good fellowship with like-minded believers, and you get lotsa support when you have troubles and need the extra prayers of a congregation.

as you said.. your relationship with the Lord is what matters above all else

Tough to challenge a pastor if you don’t see it the same way. If you get my drift.

@KLATU that made me a little emotional. lol I miss having that kind of church. AZ really needs some good churches.

I do @kreskin1

I like THIS church!

@kreskin1 Cool !

Well.. I appreciate you.. @kreskin1 and happy you are here.. you have so much to offer.
