ok i guess you can suggest churchs and what to look for and i do apperciate it. guess a lil back story is needed to see why i have big issues with churchs.
as it is i have court on monday to finalize my divorce. which i dont want. i know ive not been the best husband on the face of the earth ive put myself ahead of my wife and my family alot. ive put my job in front of everything else many times. i guess you could call me a
Workaholic i do tend to work 100 hrs a week but i make damn good money and have tried to give my family there every want and need. nice house new car etc. you see what im saying. anyway one of the biggest problems my wife/soon to be x wife claims is that i dont belive in god. while thats not completely true. i dont belive in the church platforms. i see to much corruption from a bussiness stand point. i know it takes money to run things. and as a small bussiness owner i know you must spend money to make money there fore its not complete the churchs fault but i find fault when churchs require you to give x amount or they tell you how much you must give to be a member. i grew up in a small community and the church i went to was tiny as a kid. i know times have changed but have they changed to the point where everything is put on like a show? i see both sides of the way churchs do things. music concerts shows all attract the attention of the younger and i understand that but i dont understand why churchs feel the need to direct you in all regards. i do belive there is someting bigger out there but what i honestly dont know yet. does that make me a bad person well to some i guess it does. i dont know and this may be rambling since none of you really know me.
bottom line is im trying my hardest to find a church that i can attend as me and the wife/soon to be x have been talking bout counseling and seeing if things work out which is my goal
so theres a lil back story into my question about churchs. sorry if it sounds like a idiot rambling..(it probally cause it is)
