After leaving the JW's, I found a very nice church near where I was living and went there fairly regularly until I got married this past October and moved. Now I'm having trouble finding a church here in Northern New Jersey that is as nice as the one I was going to before. It seems like all the churches around here are either very small with not much going on, or huge mega-churches, neither of which makes me feel very comfortable.There was one medium-sized church that I attended for a month or so, but each time I went, the regular pastor was away. Then, when he finally was there at the same time as me, it was communion week, and he went on and on about why some people shouldn't partake, are you "clean" enough before God, why, I know a man trying to divorce his wife, a man like that shouldn't be taking communion, yada yada yada...I never went back, and don't plan to.The nicest church I've found is run by a pastor whom I met at Witnesses Now For Jesus. He and his wife are truly lovely people; my hang-up is that there are only about 20 people in the church, and I'm not sure I can deal with being in such a small congregation. I just want some spiritual support and fellowship; I'm not looking to be a "pillar" at this point, and I'm not sure there would be any choice in such a small group.So the search goes on. Whatever happens, I may get involved with a specific church at some point, may even get active in it. But I doubt at this point that I'll become a member of any religious organization, ever again. Too much bad history there... Tom
