    First name thread, if you dare??????

    My first name is Kevin, but i go by my middle name (Drey). I, like Jim, REALLY wish my parents decided that, if i was going to go by Drey, they would make that my first name! Oh, why did my parents have to torture me so???? :)

    Lutherans and gifts of the Spirit

    I went to a United Pentecostal Church for about 10 months. It was a very... different... experience. I learned french at the same time I learned english (my kindergarten teacher must have hated me, i mostly spoke 'franglais') so when they said i HAD to speak in tongues, i just started quoting...

    What do you most value about your local congregation?

    I sense a storm a-brewin. Just remember that we are ALL in the fellowship of God, you guys. There's nothing Christian about dogging each other.

    Why Not Catholic?

    The Eastern Orthodox Church is great, you just majorly have to follow the calenders. For example, Most orthodox churches use the Julian Calender instead of the Gregorian, like we do. You might need to try to learn a little bit of the language of whichever church you're going into (Greek for the...

    Why Not Catholic?

    I'm not even going to look at those, because I don't really trust science OR the catholic church anymore. Seriously, in the 70s the scientists decided we were going to go through another ice age so we needed to fix the environment, and now there's "global warming" so we need to fix the...
