    Don't mind me, it's just a vent.

    Posts like that are the reason why I don't feel comfortable posting anywhere but WWMC. I tried branching out into other forums here, but ugh. CF has more flaming than any other board I've ever belonged to, which makes me rather sad. I have a lot of issues with misogyny and etc, so whenever I...

    I'm hanging my hat!!!

    Welcome! :hug: This is definitely my "home forum" too. I've been lurking here on and off for years (really!) and just recently decided to register so I could join the group. I'm actually a little scared to post too much anywhere else on CF. This forum has helped me a lot. It made me...

    Competition: Who travels the farthest to go to school?

    I drive 42 miles one-way five times a week. I actually like the drive except in winter, since it's over a lot of state routes that aren't well-salted when it snows.

    What made you select the church you attend?

    Thank you! :) And you know, there IS a Disciples of Christ church in my town - in fact, I used to live beside it! :D They always have the most interesting sayings on their church signboard; a lot of people drive by just to see what they will have each week. I'll have to stop in and see if...

    What are you thinking right now?

    I'm thinking that I need to stop being so afraid of things. I'm also thinking about what I'll have for dinner. I've finally gotten out of the pesky plateau in my weight loss journey, so I'm trying to be extra-good tonight.

    Sex and Marriage Poll

    Make that 11. :) I honestly do not know if I will have sex before marriage. I went with the other option because I can't say for certain that I will never have sex before marriage. Honestly, I don't really want to get married at this point in my life because I have seen a lot of bad...

    What made you select the church you attend?

    I had a very similar experience with my first church as wiggsfly. It was a very fundamentalist Pentecostal/Charismatic church, but it was really more like a cult. The pastor was the biggest control freak I've ever met. If you didn't give enough money to the church, you were going to hell. If...

    Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

    I'm a n00b to the forum. Hi. :) I have very recently come back to the faith after several years of "wandering in the wilderness." I got tired of running eventually. I'm a Christian, but I'm also a seeker in a way. I had a very bad church experience years back and I'm trying to "record over...

    Looking for a Church

    I don't know what all UCCs are like, but I attended one several times that was not listed as "open and affirming." The pastor was very nice, as were the congregants, and no one said anything against GLBT people to my knowledge. It could be different elsewhere though, I am not sure. I also...

    Made to feel small for being a Baptist!!!

    I used to be a member of a Pentecostal/Charismatic church. I didn't feel very welcome there after I broke up with my fiancé and my sister invited me to go to her church (American Baptist). I loved the Baptist church very much; everyone was so nice to me. I was suspicious at first and was sure...
