Re: Hi there, stranger!

Call me whatever you like, it's not gonna make me change. And I've done the whole "church" thing and it wasn't for me. I haven't spoken to my parents since I was 18.
I also remember this little verse from the bible that seems to be at odds with the ones you posted.
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

If you were my daughter I'd lay on a good Christian beating each and every day until you stopped being satan's whore and accepted Jesus instead.

Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Was it a proper Baptist church? If not, then you can't really say you've ever been to church.

My parents used to take me to Northridge Baptist church, but I stopped as soon as I turned 18.

I don't think spanking would stop anything, only start it.

Nice avoidance. Have you considered a career in politics?

Actually, never mind that for now. Why are you here?

What avoidance? Someone asked if it was a "proper baptist church" and I pointed out that it was Northridge Baptist. An answer to a question.

My dear girl you sound as if you might be capable of procreating. Can you provide samples of your DNA for scientific study ?

By "proper Baptist church", he meant:

1) Do they only use the KJV?
2) Do they allow women preachers?
3) Are they strict Bible literalists? (flat earth, geocentric universe, demons, dragons, and unicorns are real, etc.)

Just because it's got "baptist church" on the front is no guarantee.

Uh, yeah, that. Still.

No, it isn't. If I renamed my cat "Juan Carlos," would that make him the King of Spain? Lots of "churches" have "Baptist" in their names and yet espouse heretical doctrines.

Dear, if you'd bother to rub two brain cells together you would see that Jesus was talking about your priorities during your short time on earth. Your central allegiance must be to Him, not your earthly sinful family relations. People like you read the first thing they find disagreeable on the surface and throw up their hands as a reason to justify their wickedness.

I personally am comfortable only in Baptist Churches where the plain women and children sit in the back rows, assuming there is room left. Freehold has strict, well enforced community codes regarding this.
You'll never see riff raff in the parking lot next to the Church or in the building (of course). The women and children are kept silent and watched over by Booby-Joe's Security Ushers. Only the attractive and pleasing people sit in the front rows. It all makes for a very nice religious environment. To ensure no misunderstanding, everyone (even cripples, if they stay in their vans) in Freehold is able to attend live sermons, Those not able to attend inside the Church building get to watch it live (not taped) in the pay parking lot across the street on the JumboTron.

Now that's what I call inclusiveness! Real Baptists understand the Good News of Jesus Christ is for everybody!

Lets see, Northridge Baptist was (and assuming still is):
*King James Bible only
*Women not allowed to teach or wear pants, and only allowed to wear skirts below their knee
*has an image of a white god and a white jesus
*Biblical literalists
*has the belief that all secular science and medicine is from satan, and therefore completely and utterly wrong
*has the belief that the more money you give to the church and the pastors, the better your chances of going to heaven...

Yea, I guess it's a "real" baptist church...

You mean the question you asked that I had already answered in my first post? Sure: I found this site through a link on google and this place looked (disturbingly) adorable.

And just what do you find "disturbing" about simple True Christians™ that both love and live for Jesus Christ?

I did NOT ask how you found this place, I asked: why are you here?
