    Very good advice, unless what she wants goes against the scripture. One area of disagreement is this. She is IFB and holds on to "separation" and so in her world christians do not watch TV, listen to the radio, nor get involved. In my world a Christian is the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Christians know the culture but seek to transform it and not just "separate" from it. So I will write up people, make calls, and do what I can to preach the gospel. I have confronted liberals, hell bound heretics, celebrities, and politicians to get them to REPENT. One day a liberal was mocking the Bible on the radio while I was listening on my phone. I then called that talk show and gave the liberal the truth and told him the error of his ways and his hell bound future. He did not like it and cut me off. She would not do this, because she would just "separate" from everything and everyone which I do not agree with.

    Also she appreciates WOTM but does not seek to fellowship with WOTM like minded churches and brethren. I bet its their music style, dress attire, or what not that bothers her as WOTM groups are not Fundamentalists.

    Then I am not alone. Its not me its just the context. However from what I hear the singles at my old church do miss me and I keep in regular contact with many of them.

    Very wise post. I had this in common with my last church and the singles group. However prior to January 2011 I had visited many churches and never had any close friends. I wont fit in everywhere....

    Bad testimony... If I have a Mikes lemonade it would be alone and not in public due to my testimony. You seem to like to talk about beer do you not? Why?

    NY/NJ folks don't persecute the church. They don't give it a second thought unless it is Christmas, Easter or Aunt Ethel's funeral. The persecuted church exists in most of the world. Our brothers and sisters are terrorized and murdered for professing Jesus Christ. Check some headlines here

    We, as the Church Inconvenienced, still have a hissy fit because the bulletins were folded crooked. I can't make any friends at church falls into the same category.

    So you believe the church exists so you can have an activity to attend and maybe make friends?

    You believe a social acquaintance to be a stronger bond than the Cross?

    What in the name of Sam Hill are you teaching out there on the streets?
