We have a nice example of a person who converted as a social tread here.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:I used to be from CHC for 2 years though.
(note , being like smappy is not a side-effect of going to church , im a product of my own intelligence)
pastor kong is good though...jurong west street 91....
i used to go there..
Then i saw i always give $10 dollars in donations personally...(not much)
but i try my best to give and buy church sweets and chocolates...
den bring own bible and stuffs.......
can get to hold girl's hand in prayer....coz prayer need to hold hand with the person beside u....
and oh yah......they conduct those healing sessions.....
another time was when i saw 1 guy speaking in tongue and saying so many words...in the end give spare change...
i dunno he's rich or not..but i certainly wouldn't give $1 dollar to God even if im poor.
i think it's not the religion she is violently opposed to... rather it's the church.Originally posted by shade343:...you express a desire to be a christian or a catholic? When I told my mum I wanted to go CHC, she immediately stop whatever she was doing and ask "what for?". I told her I wanted to go there and see see. She made such a big fuss that I feel scared telling her further. Then my dad further warn me not to anyhow convert blah blah.![]()
Do your parents react in such a strong manner too?![]()
the only reason why they plan these outings is because they want you to become a christian. wah lau i got a neighbour who asked me to attend some so-called carnival organised by CHC but in the end i had to go thru the whole mass or wat thingy. she claimed that she din noe. wow. her friends keep calling me and telling me their life changing experiences.Originally posted by vincentchean:now adays ppl don't join christianity because of wat bible teaches u . But rather its a kind of social trend to be a christian. Its as though u will miss out alot of outings with frens if u are not a christian. Wat i wanna say its don't blind convert to other religion when u donno wat urs do.
i got a fren who is not a christian but he go church. And he frequently attend buddhist social gathering which teaches Buddhism, christianity,islamic teaching.
And he chose to be a buddhist simply because he know wat is all the 3 of them about. Not just know 1 of them and join it. He made a choice between 3 but i think most ppl in this planet made a choice between 1. To become a christian or not to be a christian.
no offense but your friend really wants a religion doesn't he? i mean to go around sampling then choosing one means that you want a religion and is actually pickign the best of those available rather than really believing?Originally posted by vincentchean:now adays ppl don't join christianity because of wat bible teaches u .

No you should meditate and find out the Truth.Originally posted by _Aaron_:I dunno.
When i first converted, i was devout ... very devout. And eventually a whole load of things happened. Religion or non religion wise...
Maybe my faith wasn't strong enough, but now i'm very weary, i don't know what to believe anymore.
Maybe i should be an atheist..
