Hello,
I'll try and keep this long and winded.
my name is jason and i do not go to church every sunday.
yes. i'd like it if my family went on occasion, perhaps a methodist church; as my research has shown that they are fairly progressive.
I do 'do' church on occasion. sometimes it's with christian friends over the phone and we read from the bible or one of us will say a prayer and open with conversations/musings/meditations on what it is we've read/heard/thought about.
this isn't cutting it, though i don't see much of an alternative. I believe that modern day churches are often times exercises in mass hypnosis. I think the Lord would be ashamed of 1/2 of the churches out there. the other half He would be rather ambivalent to, and some would be right up His ally.
I want to join one that doesn't purport that i'll get rich and happy if I join and all that garbage. I'm not saying i want to become a quaker or amish. though i think they were on the right track at one time, but i would like to be able to praise His work in an assembly atmosphere.
please help! do not delete this. i am not a jacobyte/heretic. i just would like to have open writings with some learned folks like yourself.
in all sincerety, Jason
