My whole family are seventh Day Adventists. I grew up SDA and personally found that it changed my life.\n\nGrowing up I had no idea of anything I just believed what I was told. Later on when I was a teenager I started asking questions about Life, God, the Bible, etc. I finally came to my own conclusions about it all and left the SDA's and all other religions. \n\nI personally have found the SDA to be a bit on the strange side. I mean the "branch davidians" branched from SDA and we'll all saw what happened at Waco. Not that all SDA people are wierd, because my family is pretty normal, but I find the teachings to be odd and I wonder why people just follow blindly.\n\nAnyway, whatever you're looking for I'm sure you'll find it and if its right for you, then good. Best of Luck.

I used to date a guy who held church in his home.  His father was a minister without a congregation and his mother was disabled and physically uncomfortable in the traditional church setting so for this reason he held church in his house every Sunday afternoon and every other Wednesday night with his father preaching and his mother attending even though his parents had long since been divorced. It was the best "church" I have ever been to.  The service was meaningful and the singing was beautiful with every voice raised to God, there was no doubt everyone in the very crowded living room was there for God.  I continued to attend "church" at his house for awhile after we quit dating, and frequently think I should still be going there. I learned more there than I ever learned in Sunday school.  I recently took the Alpha class at a local church it was great but I still believe the best church is where you feel the closest to God no matter if it's in a house or a traditional church.

I am so very thankful that I was lucky enough to be born in the United States, a country that I love.  For my husband of almost 38 years, my children, who are wonderful, and for the great friends that keep everyday interesting!    I don't want to limit this to just today though, I am Thankful for everyday the Lord allows me to wake up here before taking me home!   Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I had some very personal unexplained experiences that helped me.  I'm not religious though. I believe religion is politics and people. I love God and I believe in the virgin birth, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I was not raised with any sort of Christan up bringing.  I also do not currently attend church. I was hurt by people there. I still love God and Jesus, they did not hurt me.  I want a church that is a reflection of heaven...all races, gay and straight, bikers, rappers, prostitutes, homeless, rich and poor, skinny and fat and everything in between, no judgments everyone just doing their best to be more like Christ. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we will fail miserably but in this church it will be OK to fail. You'll admit it and do better next time and the people will love you and encourage you just the same.  If you know where this church is let me know, I've got to meet these people.

8:42 in the morning here in Holland.  But I see your point.  There are a lot of repetative questions in the religious section.  They dont look it up in the search box yahoo left for us so we see alot of the same thing over and over again.

I was raised 7th Day Adventist, Practiced Wicca in my teens, and currently do not consider myself to be of any one religion. \n\nI think that many different religions got part of it right, but not all of it.\n\nI am extremely spiritual and find my sanctuary in the forests among the ferns.

Let me share a sermon illustration with you that can be applied to any volunteer work and not just evangelism.\n\nThere was a man who went down to the beach after there had been a tidal wave and he saw another man already on the beach walking and picking something up and throwing it in the water. When he got closer he saw that there were tens of thousands of small silver fish that had been washed up on the beach and who were slowly dying.\n\nHe came up to the man just as he threw another fish back in the ocean and asked him why he was doing what he was doing since there were so many fish on the sand it was obvious he couldn't get to even one one hundredth of them before they died. He said to him "You're wasting your time. What difference is it going to make if you throw a few of these fish back in the water?"\n\nThe man answered him as he threw another one back in and said "to that fish there, it makes all of the difference in the world".\n\nSo it is with volunteer work. You can only help a few people but the help you give can make all of the difference in the world to those few people.

May I have an incense recipe?  I don't think you would consider me pagan.  I don't know what to consider myself.  I usually answer all of the Mormon questions because I am close to some members of the church and I don't like to see it talked about so terribly (which happens A LOT here).  Other than that, just wantin' some incense ;-)

I dont know much about Rev. Sun Moon but from the little I have heard, it's not a Church I would recommend you to join. Some people have said it's a cult hiding in the name of a church.  Someone also approached me and my hubby once in a restaurant selling jewerly and we just told him politely that we were not interested.

Avoid the false teachings of churches. They set people up. They preach and teach prosperity and blessings and then when it doesn't happen the people fall hard. True relations with God are quite different and not easy but the comfort is there. If you are truly seeking out God and need to talk you can e-mail me through my below website. I can't promise that I can help, but I try and genuinely care. I also am very busy but try to check e-mail daily. If not and I don't hear from you then best wishes in your life.

Interesting.  The Lord has put many in my life. Right now, I have a group of late teens, early twenties... I am preparing them for college,  by training them in Christian apologetics. This will help them defend their faith against the worldliness of college. My ex-wife... without her I may not have gotten to know the Lord and not be doing what I am doing now.  I had a wonderful class a few years ago and was able to teach science from a Christian perspective. One of the students, Sarah died last week. I believe she is in Heaven. This is rough when you see this happen to a 16 year old. But I hope I was able to make some difference in her and her families life.
