Church TV is Ok in its own way
And looking at Flowers and Such
but, if you want the REAL Deal - so to speak
You have to Hear a REAL Person Preaching * The Word of God from the Bible.
That is how Faith is Obtained

Taking the word "primate" as the synonym for the grouping of jungle dwelling, dumb animals (dumb meaning not able to speak for themselves), your statement came across to me as demeaning. ...but I was not necessarily offended.  I guess I personally just never use the word "primate" in a derogatory way, and I certainly don't find it demeaning to be "lumped in" with other primates in discussion as we do have similar social and emotional needs...but sorry if the word came across as an insult. |

I tried going to church after my divorce process was started. It was just A, K and myself. I believe they were 1 and 2 still at the time. The people would ask where my husband was and when I told them we were divorcing they would avoid me and judge me. I did not start attending church again until after I was in a relationship again. I was able to go and not be judged. It was interesting to me how different I was treated as long as I had a man by my side.
The kids and I did try several churches and failed to find one that accepted us and Kevin and I took a while finding one we really liked. We now attend ALMOST every Sunday and really enjoy having families surround us that are Christians. In the Sunday School class I attend now there are divorced people and they are not judged by us. I wish I had found this church when I was looking for one with just the boys.

IMO, true faith is grown, nurtured, and developed from the inside out, not the outside in.
