I was hoping to gain information as to what they believe? What Organization if any that they belong. And I was being transparent, maybe they won't want me there. I could feel the coolness last Sunday, I probably won't go back.

Sister, did you walk up to the minister and TELL him that YOU weren't into MAN MADE RULES IN THE CHURCH?

When did you feel the coolness? Was it before or after you TOLD Pastor John Q Foofoofnick how the cow ate the cabbage?

Being transparent?

You felt by the 3rd Sunday it was time to be transparent and candid?

To TELL the preacher that he is nothing but a Pagan advocating false prophet? I know it didn't sound like that to you, but maybe, just maybe, it sounded like that to him? You believe 3 Sundays are adequate enough time to reveal your hidden manna? Do you really feel that this guy was going to fall down on his face worshiping God, and report that God is in you of a truth?

You made the comment that some pastors are dictators, so what does that mean? Are you saying that because some people abused their authority that makes their position null and void?

Another thing because the platform (pulpit) is used for entertainment by "some" that means it is wrong for all?

I shouldn't answer this ridicule, but I will. Do you want to know the whole conversation?

What did I hope to gain? A church home where I could worship and feel the presence of God. Not where they felt so liberated, that anything goes. . I could see that they weren't.
Or so bound by man made rules that “you do what I say, or you're a second class Christian.”

As we were going out the door, on my second visit, I asked, what did they believe?
He answered, “Oh, we are oneness.”
I knew that. But I wanted to know their standards. So, I said, 'I don't believe in a lot of man made laws.”
He said, nothing.
Therefore I assumed that he did believe in the man-made laws, whether he knew they were man-made or not. So in being transparent, I said, “For instance, I don't believe it is wrong for women to wear pant suits.
He just repeated what I said, made no comment and went out the door.

Last Sunday, I wasn't as welcome. He touched on holiness, saying that we shouldn't look like the world. (I agree with that when I look around and see how the world dresses) and then said, “What you in the pew does is between you and God but who gets on this pulpit is between me and God.” Making a difference between the saints and the pulpit.

I believe I was innocent of any wrong doing, but you make it seem like a crime.
I was trying to find what their standards were, to see if I wanted to go there, and take my grt. grandchildren there. And also, if they knew what I believe, they might not want me to come there.
