Re: I hate church!!
Seems like some conflicting messages. Is it the building? no. Is it the same church over and over? No. Is it the same songs over and over? no. Is it, after a hard day of work all week long you don't want to be around anyone? Not sure really what the real issue is with hating church

Re: I hate church!!
I appreciate and never want to take for granted, that I am
able to attend the church of my choice and gather with like
minded people who love to worship and praise God together.
Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into
the house of the Lord.
I like what Spurgeon said concerning Psalm chapter 122.......

Well said. But they make it seem like a biblical fact that if you dont go to the social club every sunday and dress like them you wont be saved. Sad!

Re: I hate church!!
Go to church. FIND or MAKE an opportunity to testify.
And when you do, spill your heart out.
You will then receive a CLEAR and CERTAIN sound as to what you need to do next.
It's how I found out what direction *I* needed to go in. And it has been confirmed by family members who didn't want to listen to what I was trying to tell them.

Does it ever cross your mind that if there are zero churches that meet your requirements the issue might be with you and not churches?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Yes I have thought about it, prayed about it, and studied about it.

Every doctrinal position has adherents that make that claim
