An elderly neighbour tried to convert me, but I wasn't impressed by her at all. She had two daughters...she doted on one but hadn't a good word for the other. She would gossip about the neighbours, referring to each with a derogatory sneer. As you say, hypocrites.I could tell you all about some of their beliefs first hand ...due to being married to one of them
(He joined after we got married ) but I won’t waste your time or mine ........
Lets just say they are hypocrites to the very full extent , my ex has been deceased for 20+ years however he married three times after i divorced him ,in 1974 he was single when he died as far as I know
No wife or partner was seen or mentioned at his funeral ( I took the youngest kids to the funeral )

I am familiar with American Baptist and Southern Baptist but also GARB General Association of Regular Baptist or possibly Reformed Baptist either way GARB is super conservative compared to their liberal counterparts American Baptist.
I don’t know much about Southern Baptist doctrine even though my dad was a Southern Baptist preacher. I left home at 18 and stopped going to church. It wasn’t until 2005 when I became interested and joined the American Baptist church because my wife attended church.
I attended bible college to go into Prison Chaplaincy, I assume God did not want me to go into ministry based on my performance record and so I stopped pursuing ministry work and went into Human Services.
I used to believe religious leaders knew better about me than I did until more than a few occasions led me to believe otherwise. Just because a person leads a group of people does not warrant you or I become a follower.
I have faith In God, but what if God was called Ed, Frank or Jack my faith would be in association of other God titles and names.
God is. and I believe God is. If God is then God is and I Him. To worship God is to love all that is, God=Self=God.

As long as Jesus is dead I wish he would tell his follower to wait until he returns to pester people.
We see them around but I haven’t had a knock on my door for a very long time
you can pick them out in the street ...usually neatly dressed /may be standing in a group and have a bag of some sort with them .
They must have quite a few “ brothers and sisters” in the area as their huge hall is on the main road into town and there are lots of cars there on Sunday’s .

I just saw my first copy of the Watchtower. It came in the mail with a nice cover letter from a woman in a near by town, explaining due to the current situation they are reaching out via other means. Now I'm in a quandary. Should I send her a nice thank you note and include some helpful information on Hare Krishna or a delightfully colorful assortment pack of reading material from the Church of Scientology?
