I remember hearing that you should wear your best to church, and also that you should get plenty of rest on Saturday, early to bed, etc., so you'll be at your best at church on Sunday. I remember feeling irritated by that, because they had us for three services a week, and now they wanted to ruin S...

I remember that oh so well. "Dress for the Lord". Your "Sunday's best". It helps everyone sort out the rich from the poor, you know. I'm sure some went to my church to see who's wearing the latest fashion trend. BUT, OH, WATCH OUT.....Sunday and Wednesday evenings were a whole 'n...

Hey there, In terms of fruit, they are scant as they are quite private with their works. I can only assume that they don't make much of an impact within the world, as they are quite hesitant to give money to those outside their church, from what I can tell. With other Christians (non-members), he i...

Thanks for the report, B.H. Do you know a brand that doesn't just keep getting tighter and tighter?

Wow, that's amazing B.H., didn't hear that one! Well what are they to do? My, my. Have they tried the Hindus or Sikhs?

Thank you DonkusKebab for sharing this and welcome here. I've looked at the Church in El Paso website and from what I've seen, I'm glad you're separating from them. The one thing I see absent from reading their main webpage is love. I wouldn't expect to see a hint of love in that group. Secondly, ju...
