So what denomination are you?

[MrJim]

Yea, I attended the Abilene Brethren in Christ Church (in Abilene KS), a little over 8 year ago. I really loved that Church the people really strived to serve the Lord. I never remember seeing a tornado in all the years I live in Kansas, but did sleep though one. Cruel Winters :o, you must be from the South, because where I live now makes Kansas winters look warm. Not uncommon up here in Minnesota to go two or three weeks with the high every day being 20 below zero. Wait isn't Messiah College in Pennsylvania or Ohio? Don't you get worse winters, than Kansas?

I'm in southern PA near the Maryland border; winters aren't too bad just seems the temps are usually worse in KS than here~I keep weather widgets on my desktop from places I've lived (KS, MO, WY) to see how good or bad things are there.

Messiah College is up near Harrisburg (& 3 Mile Island ) about an hour north.

I have a forum friend that just moved to MN in the past couple weeks from central PA. All I hear is weird from MN: Prince, Gov Ventura, Senator Al Franken, must be something in the water up there?

I am Free Will Baptist, but if I could move and be near a Mennonite or Amish community, I would. This world disheartens me and I long for neighbor that believes in God and live what they believe. To worship with people that love God and want to do his will and live for him.

I grew up Methodist and became a Lutheran for a few years, but have not been a member of any denomination for sometime now. I suppose I consider myself to be a cross between Mennonites/Quakers and Eastern Orthodox. Unfortunately, none of the three groups are easily available to me. I really am drawn to the Eastern Orthodox view of the afterlife.

Will he is forunate, so far this unofficial winter has been very mild. I'm enjoying it. But don't remind me about Al Franken that hurts. Isn't Wyoming colder than Kansas?

Yeah it was fiercely cold, snowed 9 of the 12 months I lived there...if you didn't have a garage you had a plug hanging out of your grill to plug in the oil pan/block heater so the car would start~hard country, don't really miss it.

I am a conservative Mennonite.

[moonseeker]

I was raised Catholic, but am currently exploring the Mennonite church.

"Black Bumper" conservative?

"Black Bumper" conservative?

Yes sir.

 

[ChristianSambodhi]

I am somewhere between the Religious Society of Friends and Mennonite. I have never considered myself Catholic and was uncomfortable calling myself Protestant. My cultural background is Anabaptist; so, I think that's why I gravitate there so heavily if forced to choose where to put myself dogmatically. I also have some Buddhist beliefs in there (Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, the Buddhist stuff is more philosophy that aligns with my being a Christian). I am currently looking for a church, so we will see how that goes. My boyfriend is Jewish, so he's no help.

 

[MrJim]

Yes sir.

 

[Wolftone]

I am a Northern Ireland Presbyterian and you guys are cool!

 

[MoeSzyslak]

I don't attend too often these days, but when I go it's to a evangelical friends meetinghouse.

What is a black bumper conservative?

 

[MrJim]

What is a black bumper conservative?

There's are sects of conservative mennos that dress in a uniform plain manner and only have black cars and some of the sects require the bumpers and even wheels to be painted black and some require the radio to be removed.

No kiddin'...

 

[tobethebest]

Like so many others, I'm not bound to any particular church or fellowship or house meeting. My wife is Catholic and it is all over the house. She likes to put out little pictures and verses of the Bible, along with three crosses she found in her jewelry box.

Due to her continued illness, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and neuropathy, she rarely escapes the home. She prays a lot from time to time and takes much needed medication during the day.

We attempted to fit in a Church of God, but when my wife fell down waiting in line for prayer and I ran up to help her off the carpeted floor, the pastor's wife yelled at me that she had falled down under the power of God and to leave her be.

I told her she didn't want to take her medication that day. She wanted God to meet her in church. Falling was proof that she should have taken her meds. I took her to the car, opened the glove box and gave her the much needed pain medication and sedative and by the time we were home she was back to normal. Needless to say we never went back. We actually lasted more than a month there.

 

[Rachel96]

I was raised in a fairly conservative non-denominational church. For various reasons, we (along with most of the congregation) left when I was around ten. Since then, we have been going mostly to Baptist churches (Australian Baptist... there's only one sort, before you Americans ask!). Baptist churches over here get pretty liberal, so I'm a little hesitant to align myself with them and I don't really fit in anyway. I still consider myself a non-denominational Christian. If I lived in America, I would probably go to a Mennonite church!
