Hello
virginiabm:
Welcome Max,
glad to have you in the Family.
Max as you are learning God's truth remember one thing no matter what you are going through or will go through in the future God is LOVE and LOVE never FAILS.
Sometimes we have a hard time remembering that when we look at the world around us, but all is for a good purpose. In the end God wins.
Your sister in Christ Jesus,
Virginia Miller

Amway is a church? I thought they only sold stuff?
Welcome Max. Be prepared to have your catholic teachings shattered as your spiritual house comes down! You're lucky to have been called out so young. I was 40 before it happened and then I spent a couple of years in Christendom, honing some pretty dumb doctrines.
Stick around, enjoy the fellowship, be blessed.

Hi Max:
Welcome to the Forum. I too was raised Catholic, but I never participated in any of the rituals. I only went to church on the major holidays. I'm in Michigan, and riding out this winter blast as well. God Bless!

I thought that at first too, but it basically is a church, and their tactics of recruiting and keeping people in are rather cult-like. They consider anyone who says no to the Amway business opportunity a loser and anyone who leaves is a loser as well. I left quickly and quietly enough where it didn't cause much of a stir, and I really don't care what they think of me. Plus the leaders preach the prosperity gospel as they show videos of their mansions, luxury cars, etc, and they talk about how they got all of that because of their faith in God. I've also read in numerous places how the wealth portrayed is a hoax anyways. I would maybe compare their rallies to Pentecostal revivals. Plus I was starting to lose money at a fairly quick rate, and I just couldn't continue living the way I was.

Welcome, Max!
I live in Wisconsin also, about 45 miles north of Madison. It is currently -18 degrees, wind chill of -49. Huzzah! It's nice to have a fireplace and a pellet stove on days like this. 8)
Enjoy the great spiritual feast you will find here.
