Sister I like you, and that's why I want you to go find the most super ultra conservative church in your area and at least attend there for 3 years.
You will love it and you will be shouting and jumping and running the pews!
Sister Mich please do this...please.

The perfect church does not exist, there is no perfect pastor, there are no perfect people. If there were such a thing as a perfect church, it would become imperfect the minute one of us set foot in the door.
Do we go to church for people or do we go to church for God?
Am I saying you have to go to a UPC church? Most certainly NOT! Am I saying its OK for you to stay home and not go to church at all? Most certainly NOT! Go for GOD and yourself, if for no other reason, but go nonetheless.
Every major denomination believes that church attendance or the assembling of ourselves together (even if its a small group in a home) is biblically necessary. So why do some "christians" blow it off as if its not necessary?
I don't plaster my story on the internet but HeavenlyOne could tell you that I personally know more about "spiritually abusive" churches and pastors than the average bear. I continue on, I go to church, because of GOD...not people. People are going to be people no matter where you go.
Do I think you will bust hell wide open if you don't go to church? Not necessarily, but then again, I won't say that you'll make it to heaven either. Thats for God to judge, not I.
I gotta go....take care Mich and it was great to meet you!

Lady Rev, not to take away from your post but I looked at your avatar and read about peace and then thought "Oh, sure! This lady is going to look at that deer and say........POW!!!!!!". Heheh.

I understand that LR! There are no two people on the face of the earth that share the exact same views. However, there are a few similar beliefs that I am looking for. They are very different then how your typical UPC or charismatic or evangelical church functions.
You can think I am crazy, you can even totally disagree with me. But please stop implying that I am somehow refusing to fellowship with any others unless that believe exactly like I do on every issue and are utterly perfect.

I have always tried to be transparent and honest about my spriritual journey. I have never been one to shy away from admitting my struggles or doubts.
So with that in mind, I share the lastest chapter. Several weeks back, I made the decision to leave the apostolic church completely. Truth be told, for a long time, I was only halfway in. Yes, I questioned standards. But there were many other things I questioned as well. Recently I realized that I had reached a point where there was more that I disagreed with, that what I agreed with. I also realized that I no longer identified myself as "apostolic"
or "upc", but simply as "christian" or a "believer". So the change is pretty
minimal.
So Ultra-Con's, you can put on your sackcloth and ashes; and liberals you can rejoice |
Tell me this is NOT true....I have my sackcloth and ashes on.

I know what you need Sister Mich, you need to find the most conservative Apostolic Holiness Church you can find (preferably one that doesn't believe in beards) and attend there for at least three years. You won't regret it Sister!
You do it and you will LOVE IT!!
