Hello, I figured I would post up an introduction thread. I was referred to this site because of the views posted about the girl trying to commit suicide over the proclaimed movie "Twilight".
A little about me.....As a child I was saved at Victory Missionary Baptist Church. The church was an excellent wholesome environment but I outgrew the church as I became older. During much of my later childhood I rarely attended church but I still read the word and tried to stay as true as possible. I never involved myself with alcohol or drugs and I kept myself clean and healthy by riding my bicycle at a sanctioned bicycle racing track. This place became my home away from home and school. I devoted most of my free time during daylight riding my bicycle and practicing at making myself a better person. I did not have much of a parental influence due to the fact that my father died when I was a child. He dove off of a dock at Rocks Pond Campground and hit is head on a stump. Because of my father's death, it was a huge increase on my mother and she eventually had to start working full time, sometimes two jobs, to support us and make sure we didn't go without. We were never a wealthy family, but my mother made sure I never went without, except for the most important thing a child needs....love. At the age of 18 my mother committed suicide. I am 25 now.
Ever since those chain of events I have been questioning my faith. I started going back to church with my family and friend Jason. My friend Jason is in the church band and is a youth group leader. His sister went to Atlanta Christian College and has moved to Canada recently as an assistant to the Senior Pastor of a church up there. I have been around quality people with great morals after my mothers death. Still, I question.
I came here hoping that maybe some of the members here can help me along the way.
