What Religion Are You? (page 4)

In reading various replies it struck me that fundamentlist type religion can turn out more atheist than any other way. When a person awakes from a cult like religion it literally makes them turn against anything spiritual for a while. I know it did it to me too. Its been 6 years now for me being out and I attend a liberal Presbyterian Church. But honestly I go more for the friends I've made than I have for the spiritual content.

Gnostic is how I would classify my spirituality these days. But as I know all to well I've been going through many changes over the past 6 years and this may be one of just many to come. I know for a certain I'd never have anything to do with any kind of fundamentalist religion that tried to tell me what I had to believe.

Choosing life- did you get the message I sent you a couple days ago?

At the house church I go to, the guy who lives there, in a way takes the lead, but he always tries to really get other people involved. So that they are talking as much as he is. There's no doctrine taught. I don't feel like I am in a religion there, but they do refer to themselves as a very simple name, which I don't agree with. It's just open worship. It's Jesus centered. It's really not the place to go for arguing or debate because it's supposed to be worship. So if you have a possibly argumentative topic, it would be better to talk about it at a theology type meetup with them. They do that sometimes at a restaurant. Or maybe either after the worship or by email or phone. And even then, they aren't going to argue with anyone, but discuss everyone's thoughts.

I'm fading so its hard to visit anything without being turned in for apostasy, but we're talking about visiting a UU about 45 mins away. I find it hard to even consider everything. I was so brainwashed into dismissing any other beliefs it tends to get in the way. I want to find SOME kind of spirituality, but I'm so gunshy of being suckered again I can't seem to let my guard down. I'm taking a class on Sacred Texts and Cultures around the world and trying to keep an open mind.

Currently I consider myself a christian and that is it. I feel the same way about religion after my situation with being a JW. Mind you I still love God but I don't think I could ever love religion again.

A Church you can enjoy in your own home - no special building to go to.

Thanks Kid-A, I rather like the idea of the Reformed Church of Spongebob. If I ever feel the urge to join a church, they would definitely be high on my list

I am a member of a Baptist church.

Contrary to Witchtower teaching, One faith means faith in Jesus' blood that He shed for personal sins on the cross.
