I just came back here because I was ill for a long time. I'm better than I was when I left so that's encouraging. It doesn't look like anyone that I chatted with are around either.
like Bob J. , Pyro, and more of course. so I have been hanging in the forum they created for me back in 2017 (I think) hoping that someone would surprise me there LOL
I am a Christian, though Apostolic rather that any of the larger religions. My husband and I have been members for 11 years, and are the only Caucasians in the church. the rest are all Jamaican-Canadians. I recommend Apostolic to anyone who is bored with church. I have found the beliefs and sermons to be outstanding - which is why I joined the church.
I have a testimony about Faith that I've not put online yet, as I feel it is up to the Lord when I should post it and so that is what I am waiting for. But one testimony is that I was not rained on for at least 5 years. lots more to that story, but it's already here somewhere in "conversations with Sharon_at_home".
I always enjoy discussions with Atheists, and my brother was Gnostic and I respected him very much so I actually talked to him about it ... oooo way too long to remember I think. He's been gone since 2010 - a couple of months after we joined the church, and a couple of months before we were baptized in the Apostolic church way of baptizing Adults and blessing children as Jesus did in the bible.
I never had a religion before I joined this church, although I went to a couple of other churches at times when I needed guidance. none of them ever 'fit' me until I went to this one. it felt like home to both of us, surprisingly as my husband had sworn off religions when he was old enough to remove himself from the Catholic Church, 50 odd years ago. I didn't know anything about Jesus or Salvation or anything but the commercial stuff around Christmas, so I've been learning a lot since I joined my church. actually, I was brought to the church. I met some of the members playing soccer and ended up taking photographs of them for about 8 or 9 years. It was the church that they went to that we joined.
So come and chat, anyone ! I miss it a lot. I'm not on for long times so don't worry if I don't get back quickly please!
everyone welcome!! heck everyone wanted hahaha
