Woohoo... This is off to a good start.

I would never under any circumstance convert to scientology. I would rather piss glass or strangle myself with my own intestines than convert to scientology.

I am happy with my religion. devil

all I can say is that I wouldn't convert to anything for anyone. I accept people for they are and I want someone that accepts me the way I am without trying to "fix" me. I'm not broken...


My thoughts exactly. If someone is trying to change you, they obviously think something is wrong with you. I would never try to change anyone and expect the same courtesy in return.

Mirror it sounds like you live in cult central. A real church understands that God gave us free will and will let us do as we wish whilst reminding us that our actions have consequences.

Big Curt is so right. This isn't classified as a religion if you really study it. It's psychological crap. The endgrams are events in your past lives that causes your reactions to today's events. Members go through counseling sessions for mind corrections that hopefully produce different responses. I dated a member, didn't take long to put my running shoes on.

I understand that cults exist. The problem I have is when people say ALL Christian churches are like this.

Suz... I agree with you on this, however, I know many people ( in my family ) that don't believe in free will. They believe everything you do should be attributed to God. Anything you do that's wrong, is the devil taking you over and you aren't praying and being "christian" enough to keep the devil away...

My brother and I and one aunt are the only Christians in my family that I know of. As long as I am not breaking any laws, my mother doesn't care what I do.

Ok I am about to get seriously pissed mirror. I do not go around bashing other peoples religions. just because the church where you live is like that does not mean churches are like that world wide. i have been to some very nice churches. dont go bashing something until you fully understand it.
