In spite of the fact that I consider myself Christian now, post exit of the Watchtower religion, I have not attended a single religious event or sermon inside a church since I was 5 years old [1960].
Today, we attended the Christmas play for my 5 year old G-daughter at the church where she attends pre-school. I was absolutely ecstatic with the program. It is a 'baby step' to my reindoctrination to orthodox Christianity I believe also. The program was opened and closed in prayer by a woman [talk about culture shock coming out of Jwism.]
Though my work prevents me from attendance at regular Sunday services - I believe I am now ready to begin attending some services on Wednesday evening in the area. I may attend tonight at the Methodist church down the road from me. They have a Wednesday eve Bible study program there. If I go, it will mark two attendances to a church in the same day, after a forty-one year absence.
I have spent some time online with Christian testimonials and sermons, but to set foot inside a brick and mortar church is absolutely new.
