IJWTS - Why does my room have to be the hottest room in the house? lol

Next month according to this site, I will be a "mature single" I don't wanna be in my later stage. I'm a toys r us kid. I'LL NEVER BE MATURE!!! YOU HEAR ME?!

IJWTS - At least they don't force us into "under 30" and "30+" groups or otherwise use specific ages. That's the worst, IMO. Around the time I turned 30, I was checking out a new church that happened to set the cutoff at 30. It's kind of hard to meet single women when you're the youngest guy in a group that ranges in age from maybe 50 to 75. The kicker is that the age tends to adjust with mine. Like when I was 25, the cutoff was 25. When I turn 40, I'll probably find myself in a situation where the cutoff is 40. It's a conspiracy, lol.

What do you mean the cutoff was 30? You couldn't be in the church singles group or something?

Many believe that once you turn 30 you are some randy perv.

and what does IJWTS mean?

There were two Sunday school groups for single adults. One for over 30, and another for under 30. I had recently turned 30, and was new to the Church. Although I doubt they would have checked my age, and I could easily have passed for 25 or so, the whole situation seemed wrong to me.

It seems wrong to me also.

IJWTS - Means I Just Wanted to Say


IJWTS - Thats how my youth group was. It cut off at 16. And the next group was 16 to 21 and everyone in the group was close to 19-21, and all were in college and I was the youngest. I asked to go back to my other youth group even if I was the oldest, lol. Which I got to do thankfully.

I was going to a non-denomination young adult bible study near the university campus last year
it was mostly college age people but a good number of the members were in their mid 20's
one of the leaders (who was 27) said I might be more "comfrotable" in one of the other groups.... because of the age differance....
I think the real reason they did not want me in the bible study is because I am a Catholic

i kinda wish i could find a church. i doubt there is one out there for me though.

hah, thanks but of all the denominations they are the least likely to be welcoming to me. also i have a bad history with catholics anyway. no offense, you're really cool, but i've only ever met one other catholic that is like you though.

yeah.... there are a little over 1 billion Catholics.... and a lot of them are jerks.... sorry about the bad history......

the Church SHOULD be a "hospital for sinners" we should be welcoming to everyone

even when i was a total christian i found that most churches no matter the denomination are not welcoming. add on "sins" and it's just not worth the hassle.

and it's not your fault, thanks though.

I went with my roommate to his Catholic church last weekend. They refused to let me participate in several activities, even though I'm a strong Christian and have my faith in the same Christ they do, I just wasn't as special as them. That's what I dislike the most about them. They say they hate the separation between protestants and themselves, but they're the ones who keep widening the gap and thinking they have special authority with God. We're all part of the same body and when they start to realize that, maybe we could all unite again under the same banner.

It's not a matter of they think they're more special or anything, it's just some Catholic churches only allow those that accept transubstantiation to partake in the Eucharist. I've been to a two catholic churches, one did not allow me to partake in it, and the other would. Every denomination and such, has different rules about the Eucharist, in the Coc, you don't take it before you are baptized.

ijwts- i think today i'm going to just be way too open and whiny on my tumblr and see how many people unfollow me. i have too much i've been holding in, it's not like 99% of them even talk to me anyway.

 

[MehGuy]

Yeah. I censor myself on tumblr too much. Sadly I seem to attract many conservatives and racists, lol.
