I am, as I have said before, something of a spiritual orphan. I cannot help but take my faith and the Bible seriously, but what i am is not accepted by churches that do for the most part. But yesterday was just about the last straw for me at the ex's church. They had a guest speaker who essentially was a Christian version of "the power of positive thinking" crowd. "If you are struggling, it's cause you want to struggle" was his message, and it took all my self-control not to get in his face. Then I went to the staff Christmas party at my work, and had to deal with the horrible sense of envy and sadness i feel when surrounded by women dressed in their best feminine finery knowing i am not free to do the same. Ah, well.

Accepting churches

I've been through the please don't come to our church dressed in female clothing more than once. If it wasn't the pastor telling me it was the congregtation. I was not surprised as most people who claim to be Christian only do so on Sundays.

I recently started going to a Pentacostal church, the amazing thing is I am accepted for being me and when I'm not there they call to see if I am okay. The church was formed a few years ago by people who got tired of the bigotry and the unchristian like people.

WWJD has been over worked, I ask What did Jesus Do and I find he accepted everyone he came into contact with, so religion is man based with man's ideas of what God would accept. I am among a congreation that is full of warmth and making one feel good about themselves.
