I know its rough to go from one church to another, though I've never had to make a change quite as difficult as yours.Title: Re:going to a new church Post by: Symphony on November 10, 2004, 08:51:14 PM becoming a noncatholic would be a hard thing, 'specially if it's not really by choice. actually, for that matter, becoming anything, if not by choice, is a hard thing. I'm not sure that it can really happen. Maybe. I like to 'believe' in what i'm doing... Imagine that, actually believing in what you're doing. Hmmm.

A lot of my Christian friends are ex-roman catholics, they never had any problems.

anyhow just thought id chime in oh, and thanks blackeyepeas ;) Title: Re:going to a new church Post by: Melody on January 29, 2005, 11:55:33 AM well now we are going to a Episcopal church,again very nice people are great only been there 5 times but my wife seems to like it better than the methodist church. seems as though half of the parrishners are from catholic churches. anyhow just thought id chime in Not surprising. Aren't Episcopalians the protestant version of catholics? I went to an episcopal church once and it reminded me very much of the catholic church I grew up in. As an ex-catholic, I can say that I had difficulty switching over to protestant churches, but it mainly was because I was used to a specific ritual and without it, the service was "lacking" (in my opinion). It took me many more years before God opened my eyes and heart enough to be comfortable. It still amazes me that I'm now considering membership in a Baptist church. Oh...and I don't miss the ritual anymore because I have something more important....a bible based church. Title: Re:going to a new church Post by: BUTCHA on April 09, 2005, 07:36:21 PM MELODY, I THINK YOUR RIGHT.
I ENJOY THE METHODIST CHURCH BETTER BUT IM ALONE ON THAT. WE STILL ARE GOING TO Episcopal church. tryed the other Catholic churches in the area but , ruled them out. my catholic church was closed aprox. 9 months ago do to the preist scandels , and only 20% of the parrish is now enrolled in another catholic church. speaking with my catholic freinds thier is still alot of anger and pain still and many are floatting around like lost sheep trying to find a place of worship. Title: Re:going to a new church Post by: wormiesaber on April 14, 2005, 08:18:11 PM I used to go to a Catholic Church because my Dad was Catholic and at one time, he wanted me to be Catholic and go through the school and everything. My Mom wouldn't allow it, she wanted me in a normal school with normal kids, but I was raised Baptist. I enjoy the Baptist Church and visit one frequently.
I used to go to the Oasis Christian Center in Los Angeles 2 days a week but I didn't like the big show they seemed to put on, and after awhile, it got to a point to where I felt it was sort of a scam, with the big cameras and lighting set-ups and acting skits. I just want to worship God on Sundays, all that other stuff is dressing and gravy, so I'm prone to more conventional churches like a good 'ol baptist church or the Harvest Rock church in Pasadena, california (where several of my friends go on Sundays anyway). |
