lulz

I actually stopped feeling turbulence a long time ago (I started identifying as a Deist in June 2018). At that point it was a matter of how to go about leaving the Christian church (I got along well with people at the last one, but I only joined it to avoid excommunication from my previous church. That one had me sign an agreement that I'd transfer to another church within a year if I left theirs. There's a long story to that, including nasty e-mails and voicemails they left me on my way out).

This is always weird for me to hear. At that point its not even a church in my opinion and they do nothing to help the message of what they are supposedly trying to preach. I heard a pastor this week say any church that would shun others from wanting to join is really just a glorified coffee club where stubborn people go to agree with each other. I feel thats true

My wife and I are actually looking for a new church now and they one we've been to recently has some of the most welcoming people I've ever met and they do a ton of stuff for the community. It kinda sucks that no one (atleast online) ever seems to see that side of the church and insults others regardless of how their church operates

Anyways, good luck!
