Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

Hi, my name is Matt. And I am still conflicted about church and this place both.

I have been a part of churches that qualify as "hardline fire-and brimstone" and churches that are far from that. Currently attending a church with "Church of Christ" on the sign, but looks so much different than others I have been a part of.

I have been reading this board for a while, and it is just difficult for me. Some of the things discussed don't apply to my current church, but I also still believe some of the others.

Thought I might decide to post and ask that you be patient with me.

Thanks for the welcome. Actually I kind of feel the same way about broccoli. A good broccoli cheese soup is awesome as is fresh raw florets with ranch, but some of this steamed stuff seems like an active attempt to ruin it.

Welcome, Matt. Take your time!!

Glad you found us.

Welcome to the forum ... a good place to be conflicted!

You will find patient and impatient people here, just like anywhere else, but I think it's worth your time to read the posts, ask questions, and decide for yourself what's important.

Welcome!

Hi Matt,

I have a friend who has discovered a Church of Christ that suits her perfectly. She is a broad-minded, deep-thinking searcher. As with any church, there are things she agrees with and things she doesn't. But overall it's a good fit for her both practically and theologically.

I just wanted to let you know that there ARE members of this board who are either in a Church of Christ of some sort, or who would feel perfectly comfortable in a particular Church of Christ.

I am glad you have found a church that suits you! And I'm glad you're here. If anyone tries to "convert" you, tell 'em to bug off!
