I started going to a church that my co-worker goes to about a month ago and I really like it. It's very anti-religion. They actually meet in a movie theater, serve bagels and cream cheese, coffee, and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I wear jeans and flip flops if I want, they play rock music, and so opposite of any KH experience I've ever had. Everyone is very down to earth and my kids actually look forward to going, me too! It's actually VERY refreshing.
Last week, he was talking about how important it is to make and keep friends outside of the church. He said that when a church/religion only encourages you to associate with other church members, the church will start to implode. My husband turned to me and said, "wow, you'd never hear that at the KH".
