I appreciate your contributions to the forum Rys and yes you are a odd ball,  :) just like the rest of us.

Just wanted to share a bit about my recent temptation to return to the church building with you. Yep, I was indeed tempted to go to church. They put up signs around town to draw us in and well, we did go and we even gave them money.

They had a fish fry yesterday and my wife and I couldn't resist the urge so we went and bought two plates.....to go! ;D

Thanks for sharing Felix. I'm with you about the certain aspects. I still hurt in certain ways and had friends that I don't have now. To be honest it kinda sucks but I seem to go deeper in the things of God so why should I complain about it.

p.s. That church sounds good with the pretty girls in. Ha ha and he he  ;D

Good on ya. I hope you threw the fish at them. I could see myself doing that. And then I would cleanse the temple and push there tables over, just like Jesus did. He's so cool!

Mat 21:12  And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

They didn't sell pigeons by any chance?  :D

I better go now, I'm getting too exicited, this sounds too much fun.  :P

I have to confess that I have 'visited' my old church a couple of times. Not for the teaching and definitely not for the deafening and often discordant 'praise and worship', but for the brethren, some of whom became real friends.
Funny thing about this church (coincidentally called Bible Truth) is that there are quite a few who know of Ray and are in agreement with him; except that they believe in the secret "rapture"; in 2 gospels - Peter's to the Jews and Paul's to the gentiles; in 'church'; and in rituals like communion and water baptism. The church is based on Knoch's teachings and widely uses the Concordant versions of the bible along with others like the KJV.

I'm just curious, is there no other way you can socialize with these "real friends" except by going to their church?  I'm really posing this question to everyone who seems to be feeling some type of void because they no longer attend a church with people they've come to like.

Why not spend time with these people in other environments?  Invite someone over to your home, or go out for a meal together, or just make an effort to stay in contact with people you are fond of.  Personally, I have no desire nor any interest in going back to church during regular worship service.  I reluctantly go to church for funerals and I happily go to church for weddings! :)
