This has probably been addressed already, I just haven't had time to read through all the threads. So a friend/member (whatever) sent me this text " I saw you twice on Sunday and didn't get to hug you. Will I see you tonight? And did you get tix for Rogue One" Its a wednesday night btw. So...

Also I didn’t like the fact that I was expected to chase the men there. Um excuse me, but isn’t it supposed to be other way around? .. I think they did expect women to be all over the men, chasing them. Sometimes if I even talked to another single male, it was assumed I was after him. I once briefl...

I'm 41 and haven't been on a date in 20 years. I'm a nice guy in real life and have a good reputation as someone who is honest, kindhearted, and can be trusted if given a trust. But I am thought of as highly eccentric and kinda strange. Which in all honesty is probably true. Everyone is strange in ...

Being single in the cOC is a sin of the highest order. And what is even worse than that? Oh, I can tell you form firsthand experience, if you are single and not dating anyone, Lord help you!! Holy shit, they would just as soon escort you out the front door for not having a girlfriend/boyfriend! . I...

I'm not sure if any of you are attending a church now. If you are, do you see this same type of service displaye...

Glad the church ended up getting rid of him and that you've had a positive experience overall. Its been a hit or miss for me, depending on the church I attended at the time. While attending church in AZ, I’ve witnessed preferential treatment in social gathering or helping some members in need. I rem...

Thank you all for the welcome. I look forward to particpating. Not that this will help you, but there are a lot of people that have a similar story. I am absolutely convinced the c of c is a religious cult, and leaving it is no different from getting away from any other cult. When your entire family...

I wonder if there are any Black-american posters here? As a black female I've seen some members treated with a lower status. I won't says its out right racism, I just think in a predominantly white congregation they don't get as much attention. The black families who are active members (teaching, le...

Have any of you experienced love or have good memories from the church? As I am reading some of the older posts it seems there is alot of resentment and hurt from experiences in the coC. I've experienced my share of pain to a degree. Yes I have my doubts about the doctrines and aggravations towards ...
