I attend once in a while, I realized at some point having personal relationship with God is the real deal, any church or organization are just there to use you, reprogram you till you become worthless worst of all you're forced to follow the crowd cause you're scared of being alone or shunned out of the social structure.

Learn and know when to pray, do what's right and abstain from what's not. You feeling down spiritually or with depression take some time out from social media and overthinking, pray and fast, trust me you'll be fine.

I haven't stopped but church has changed a great deal, don't get me wrong money is essential to promote God's work but now it seems the only thing churches care about is devicing various means to seek for money.. very distressing
Try to get into the church committee, so you can be a moderating voice from the inside. Truth be told, many churches desperately need funds, while some are scam centers.

Friends Jesus Christ loves y'all and he want you to accept him as your personal lord and saviour by giving your life to Christ, believing in him and repenting of your sins. tomorrow might be too late. Shalom

At first i stopped because of the hypocrisy, so i told myself people would always be flawed no matter. Then i did the know God for urself thing and studied... not just read the bible. Totally stopped going after reading/ studying the bible for myself and also the context around it. Full of major plot holes and contradictions. Shattered my faith basically. According to Robert Langdon "I've not been blessed with the gift of faith".

I stopped when i discovered Christianity was all brainwashing.

If you yearn for God, sit down, meditate and ask him your questions in your lonely moments.

Your God will come to you.

Because church has turned to a gathering of hypocrites living a double standard life. Where a sinner that donates money is given a preferencial treatment. Where pastor preaches heresies to cone money out of worshippers.

grin Everything inside the church is deliberate; from the music to the preaching to the theatrics.All are engineered to put you in a suggestible state so the programming and fleecing can be carried out successfully.Ever wondered why you feel different once you step out of a church premises? Spirituality is different from what obtains in a church.I commune with my Chi in my own unique way and not the template handed down to us by foreigners.Deprogram yourself and you will see things differently.
The piano tunes as the preacher talks, the lighting at the altar it’s all deliberate and has been carefully studied and documented to have hypnotic effect on people..

One needs to be careful.

Our great, powerful and beautiful RCCG should review the way pastors anoint or lay hands on them. can come with their own anointing oil, receive prayers and anoint themselves. Trusted and matured pastors with good testimonies may be given more leverage to anoint and pray. But young and new pastors should do it very sparingly.
If you go to MFM, Dunamis, bring their own anointing oil, receive prayers and anoint themselves. That does not mean there may not be occasions of one or more pastors doing anointing with oil.
Some pastors may or do not have clean spirit, and them laying hands or anointing innocent may not do good.
everything they told me since 43year ago were all lies.

The events bro they're are something thing else. Doesn't add up neither is it feasible, written about some of them on here and u find the responses by christains to answer these plot holes really baffling. Funny thing is u find some of these biblical events in other mesopotanian religions that are older.

Old/new testament, Kings James version and Jehova witness bible tells different contradictory stories grin

The so called "holy" bible has being edited many times to add or remove some verses and quotes.

How can people believe and follow invents that apparently happened 3000 years ago that cannot be proven in thesedays of AI, internet, Amazon Alexa, Electric cars, google, Facebook, Twitter,driverless train, Auotpliot Aeroplanes, Watsaap video calls. Brain surgery, C sectons operations, kidney/heart transplants, antibiotics and paracetamols?

It is like watching the Harry Potter movie. Magic,hocus pocus.
