Accepting help offered.

I'm in a place..oh it's quite a place. lol

There's a church that has offered to help me out (probably). I work with a pastor in that denomination who's currently not pastoring. He's talked to people and given them information and they say they can help. However, they'd like to speak to me in person and the easiest time to do that is to attend a church service. So I'll be going tomorrow night.

I've had him and his wife in my home the last two nights for Bible study.

I don't believe anything like these people do.

I am very interested in learning about other denominations and doctrines, and respectful of what they believe (as in, I haven't said...THAT'S WRONG! yet..lol)

Talking to them has given me a lot of study material.

But, I still have this hesitation. I don't have any problems accepting help from anyone if it's offered. I've been through too much to have any pride left concerning that. But, is it wrong to go to a service knowing you won't be converting to their way of seeing things and to participate in the service (JUST to get help), and even continue to study with the pastor (this because I enjoy studying and the study material generated by the studies so far has been awesome...)? I'm not sure if I'll study with him or not from here out...but maybe. He's also said if he's got a Saturday off of work he'll go to church with me (we meet Sat am). So it seems to be a pretty mutually agreeable thing.

What do you think?
