It’s time to get real and get in a church, get a pastor, and get ready to meet Jesus. I knew I probably would offend some, but it’s not my intention to do this, but it’s to late in the day not to be doing all we can for the Lord. That’s the only reason I started this thread, kind of like a wake up call I guess. Sorry you have been hurt.

You have stirred up some very good conversation, and for that I commend you.


(and also some goofy sound bites but of course that is another story)

My pastor emailed me this when I told him that we may visit other churches in my area.

"other churches in town do not teach apostolic truth, we can end up compromising our beliefs and ultimately allowing ourselves and our children to be absorbed by the denominal world. Israel fell when they allowed themselves to intermingle and live with the world around them."

Now church folks are the world ... what have we come to.

LOL -- there's nothing wrong for not knowing who I am. I'm quite happy in my nobody status.

So stop acting like a child who wants sympathy, and a pat on the back, and you want someone to tell you that it’s ok. You know it‘s not ok not to have a church. You say you’ve been hurt by your pastor, and pulled out of the UPC, or all church attendance anywhere. You hate all pastors everywhere because they are all liars you say. And now you can’t trust anyone else to pastor you, so find a church that teaches truth. All Pastors are not cut from the same mold. You need a church and you need a pastor. So stop being so childish and grow up. We can’t hold grudges folks. It’s time to get over whatever the problem is. After all, aren’t you people adults? You sound so childish by starting all these silly threads demeaning the UPC and all Pastors too. It’s time to get over it and Get In A Church Somewhere.

It’s OK with most people if your boss dictates what we should wear. I know plenty who dress in uniform in order to hold a job, but He’s paying us to do this. That makes all the difference. It’s ok if our Boss expects us to report to work on time, and follow some form of standard. And we tolerate it if he gets on our case occasionally, after all he pays our salary, and that makes all difference in the world. We are willing to do lots of things we may not like in order to hold a job, but you will not allow our Pastor to lead you to Jesus.

My first thoughts were , "this all sounds SO CHILDISH"

Secondly, if I ever had a boss who treated me as two psstors I've had, I'd quit ttomorrow and go get a different job.

Thirdly, your comparrison with church to a job holds no water. Whatever my boss tells me has no eternal worth concerning my souls destination.

Herein lies the problem ... folks are viewing church like an earthly job .... it's not wonder some are dead in their religion.
