Steve2 is right. I know it's tempting to want instant friends, and something to fill that religion shaped hole you may be feeling - but I found taking 6 months to a year being religion free and experimenting with what you like or don't like is enjoyable, beneficial and very revealing. You may be suprised discovering the REAL you.

I tried being religion free for about 20 years. Just was invited to a church group. So I tried it. The love bombing reminded me how the JWs treat new ones. I then I slacked off going to church and they called me many times then door knocking. Kind of gave me the creaps

I have not found that to be true of the Anglican church . Did you join an Evangelical or Charismatic church ? When they came round did you make it clear that you didn't want to be pestered ?
On the other hand l know of people who have moaned when they have been ill or having problems and no-one from their church has bothered to see if they are alright . Sometimes you just can't win

Your GFZ thingy was really odd. So you wont go anyplace where you can't carry?
Have you told anyone in this religion that you carry a weapon at all times? If you get a smile of recognition your in the right church.

Do you find that it is a high control group? If not, could it be that you are just really appreciated?

This is NOT normal for almost all churches. It has been my experience that you need to get involved as a volunteer somehow or attend some of their classes to even meet people.
If it's a small church the pastor my call to ask if you would like a visit. But as a new person if people are pestering you, calling at home and so on, that is not normal, at least in my experience.,

My only question is:
why in the HELL would you 'join another church"? If you need "love bombing" join ISIS. They love bomb all the time. Their organization is a real blast!
just saying!

If you are so adamant that you don't go someplace without your gun, why the hell can't you just say that to these people?

Yes. I told one member. They dont care. In fact after that Texas church shooting there is about 5 members that carry.

"...all schools in the USA are GFZ..."
In theory, anyway.
