i failed to mention about the details behind the annoying church people coming to my house. they are not jehovah witnesses. they are plain regular christians. The last time i went to church was in march of 2010. the church i was going to had a bus service that picked people up from different parts of the town. the people the church bus picked up were kids that are ghetto, rude and obnoxious. i was invited to church by a mutual friend and my then girlfriend. i first attended this church in november 2007. in the beginning it was fun but after awhile, more ghetto people started coming and it made me uncomfortable. i know god is for everyone but i couldn't help it. i was also losing interest in going so i went when i felt like it. then the girlfriend i had broke up with me and it was hard going but i gotten over it. but around september 2009, i become more depressed and bitter at everything. i would go to church and pray for everything to get better but things got worse. Then when i didn't go to church, my ex-girlfriend/friend would harass me about it and playfully hit hard on my arm. before i laugh but now it pisses me off. so in march, my family was moving to a different town so i stopped going to that church. all my life, i was forced to go to church by my grandmother. anyhow, these people from a different church started coming by my door in february. they were trying to get me to go but i would say no. honestly, i don't have the motivation to go and i don't want to get up early in the morning. i have their number to give me a bus ride so ill keep that in mind.

Well best of fortunes on the hunt for a good church. Those churchy folks can be a pain sometimes. We found one I really liked one time. The preacher promised to only preach 15 mins..and it started late in the day and you could catch another at night. Now not sure about those folks coming to your house. There are cults at work at there which are not limited to Jehovah's Witnesses. Mormons are another good one to avoid. Nice folks and good habits just a real nutty theology.

I AM a "churchy folk" BUT, I also hate when people of ANY religion come knocking on my door. Mostly due to the small talk conversations I am forced into (so I usually ignore them all). Funny thing is when I tell them I am already Christian, they still don't go away. :?

My mom is a church person who used to make me go to church when I was younger (she doesn't anymore), but she's not fanatical. The last time I've ever attended church was in February, 2009.

Church people have never really bothered me. I remember this one time when a lady sitting next to me in a cab handed me a religious tract. I accepted it graciously, skimmed over it when I got home, and then threw it away.

OH, see, when I said my Mum doens;t like them, I meant she doesn;t like Jehovah's witnessess at her door.

Althought she's not too keen on that religion either. I'm not, really, but some people here are part of it, whether they've been forced into it by their families or not. I consider myself to be"free" because I have a choice, right now I don't know if I should be a Pagan like my Mum or not. If I was, I would certainly feel very rebellious :twisted:
