To address the comment about there being good and bad pastors in every denomination, the pastor I was talking about in the ND church I recently had been going to is worse than being a bad pastor. He’s a bad person. I tried to send you PM but your name keeps disappearing and It won’t send because...

I like the time change because I like to get in my jammie’s early and it’s more cozy if it’s dark out than with the sun still up.

LOL!

CATHOLIC praying to the saints and Mary, I’m neutral purgatory, not sure Eucharist, I feel it’s probably more sacred being confected or whatever, by a priest confession, they don’t emphasize that in the LCMS I go to, except to silently pray for forgiveness. They offer confession but there are...

As far as Catholic vs Lutheran goes, there are some doctrines I appreciate with both and some I’m neutral on. I just know that I like the LCMS church more. It’s very contemporary and I feel comfortable there but the things we’ve discussed in the past still really bother me. If it weren’t for...

There’s a lot to consider, at least for me, in finding a church home. It’s down to either returning to the LCMS, but the obstacles I‘ve been dealing with still bother me, or return to Catholicism. They both have pros and cons.

That’s true. This particular pastor is offensive but that doesn’t mean all ND pastors are. He also was butting in during a scandal at another church. I don’t want to talk about it on here, but suffice it to say, I think that he’s not a good person.

Ok. Never mind. My husband went with me today and he was so offended by some of the things the pastor said and more than that, how he said it….very arrogant and with an attitude of I’m right and if you disagree with me, you’re wrong. He went off on a tangent about such controversiL subjects such...

Good. It’s about time someone tries to shush him up.

I have it but I just try to ignore it.

We didn’t have much money. At all. And my husband had to go back to work two or three days later so we went to a nice local hotel for a couple of days.

Telephone solicitor. The bosses there (and from what I’d heard, other places as well) tried to brainwash us into thinking that if we gave our pitches correctly and used the right rebuttals when the person we called were unreceptive we could convince them that they needed our product. In reality...

I’d go where I’m going now for the past three weeks. A non denominational church that I went to before the LCMS. They allow for my beliefs and I love their music and messages. The preaching is awesome and the people there are so friendly.

Don’t remember

I grew up Catholic in a very Catholic area, and currently live in a vey Catholic area again. I never heard anything anti Catholic growing up but thats probably due to going to a Catholic grade school and living in a mostly Catholic neighborhood. I do think Catholics are sometimes judged harshly now.

Most of my friends are Catholic and used to always make subtle but clear suggestions that I should return. Or they’d talk tome like I still was Catholic. “Pray the rosary” “take it (your problems) to Mother Mary, etc.

i mostly am around believers. I had an atheist friend in my neighborhood growing up but we only talk on FB now and never about religion.

It was my doctor who scared me into googling it. She said something like ”hope for the best and prepare for the worst.” Then she sent me to an oncologist who specializes in female problems who asked me why I was even there? Weeks before the hysterectomy he told me that he sees a lot of cases of...

Yeah, I had possible cancer of the uterus about 5 years ago and I was looking up a lot of stuff including a message board for women with it. Scared the heck out of me but fortunately, I didnt have it. I had a total hysterectomy and all was clear. Thank God.
