I couldn't agree more. Malvaro took a comment I said light heartedly, (you know in good fun) and went way too far with it IMO.
My father did an excellent job raising his children, and helping build an wonderful church in NYC. Like my brother said, Malvaro shouldn't comment on something he knows NOTHING about.

Just asking.....is Romper Room over? I didn't know until this thread that third-graders had micturition contests. Learn something new everyday.....
To the topic at hand, I would attend the OP church because the doctrine is what I believe. I don't believe in the trinity, therefore attending there because 'it's a happenin church' isn't a good enough reason to go.
If I have dead, dull church, that's nobody's fault but my own. It's not the church's responsibility to entertain me in worship and praise to my God.

Good post!
It would be very hard for me to go to a church where false doctrine is taught, week after week after week. And yes, I know trinitarians who DO believe in three Gods.......God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost! And as Jimmy Swaggart said.......he had a vision, and saw THREE thrones in heaven.....go figure!
First time I heard something like that, I just couldn't support it.

If someone is attending a 'happenin' church, SOMEBODY has to make it that way. Why can't we be that somebody in our dead churches?
And I feel the same as you do. I can't attend a church where I don't believe the basic doctrine of the gospel.

I am one of the resident liberals...but I will tell you I would sit at home an listen to harvestime and play old Urshan Records before I would attend a Trinitarian Church!
The is NO SUCH thing as a "happening Trinitarian Church"...THATS called HYPE!
It may not happen again for a while, so let me take this opportunity to say AMEN to the illustriously liberal NLYP.

Of those that picked dead because of doctrine, I'm curious do you have children, especially teens?
I picked doctrine.
Honestly, I didn't know how to answer the question. I do have children, 4 of them...and after reading Sherri's post, I just may go to a denominal church if I had to.
