Thank you guys for your comments. I even liked Adonai's candor and honesty by providing a broader understanding on Focus on the Family, although, I presently see their stance on gays as being more harmful than hurtful. I think I get what you're trying to get at wiz. I just wanted the opportunity to see what going to a church was like.
Again, thanx!

Hi Preston, I think it is great you went to church. I have never been to one , I was raised a JW. I dont know if I will ever beleive one religion to be the only truth ever again , but I think someday I may go to church just to see what it is like. I want to go to a black church , I know alot of people who are always trying to get me to go , for the singing and the food afterwards. They are just good hearted accepting type of people, they dont care what color I am , or what I used to be(JW). They just want me to share in their happiness,and with open arms, non judgemental. Of course I will always be leary of that , but I am a big girl now, I can just leave if I dont like it. My family is catholic and they are trying to get me to go to mass on mother's day. I might just do it!!! Kinda exciting you know. I will let ya know what I decide to do. Sometimes we just need to feel accepted and not judged .

I am so excited you had a good experience! Woohoo! I know not everyone has that privilege. Without trying to sound like a bible-thumping Christo-babbler, I always invite people to my church. The people are a lot like the ones you experienced. It really is too bad more aren't like that. But just because a few are bad, doesn't mean all of them are. Keep an open mind and heart...you'll always be surprised!
Love,
Andi
