Do you go to a church regularly?



  • Yes, a member and go regularly
  • Yes, but not a member
  • Yes, but not every week
  • No, just when I feel like it
  • No, even though I'm a member
  • No, I never go to church

ours is a "church in a box" and besides the mental commitment of being a member, I think they really need to know who's in & for how much for the budget, gotta pay dem bills, lol!

We're also a real roll-the-sleeves-up congregation, and it's understood that becoming a member is not just money - you are committing to be a part of the faith community.
I greet & give out the order of service once in a while, and teach preschool Sunday School probably once a month or so.

But actually, the guy who taught with me last week hasn't joined... and we all (members, nonmembers, whatever, bring munchies for our monthly SitDown after services...

Allison, welcome, hon!


I am an inactive member, and I don't go as often as I feel I should.

Hmmmmmmm, I think God energy is so much higher than that.
Like I don't think God cares if we go to church or not, I think the emphasis is what
makes us more conscious and loving people. Love, Leila

Perhaps explanation is in order.. False prophets and false teachers are always present in the world of darkness and mortality, for people in the darkness love the things of the world and tachers seek to gratify their desires for the selfish gains they obtain. This especiallly characterises the plane of religion and to such an extent that many deluded but not enlightened egos attempot to place the same interpretation upon the Real Teaching and the Truth revealed by the Word at this time. But these only display their own ignorance and their rejection of the Master, for if they had the Spirit of Truth they would know the Truth when It is expressed. These recieve according as they measure and need not be reviled, but error is uncovered that Truth may be all in all. Thus the True Teachers expose the false only to those who have the knowledge and Love of the Truth. But those who are true are unaffected by those who are false, even though the false will see according to their understanding and love, often placing false interpretations upon the True and the Truth. from iras teacher also see 11 peter ch 11 Having been called out from among them and not saying that I am better they are but not being one of them. For there arose false prophets also among the people.
