God: What are the main things you want in your life, young human person?
YHP: I want to get married, have kids and fit in and be happy in my church.
God: Okay, well, say I told you that you couldn't have any of those?
YHP: You're saying I can't HAVE, like ANY of those?
God: No. But pretend I am. What else do you do with your life?
YHP: Ummm...
God: Find some stuff.
YHP: Ummm...

Having children in our lives can be quite natural for people to long for.All humans get old.Children whom have experienced real family love, may wish to return this kind of love to their elderly parents too.Without this,elderly humans may be forced to rely on societies or church groups.
Most children only require to experience the unconditional love of parents,or family.To learn of the benefits,so as to wish to return it some day in return.And families that may also include relations whom have all experienced this kind of love too,can always think to help take care of those whom have not had offspring.Or even those whom have experienced such loss through tragedy.
While humans relying on love to be gained within societies, or church groups.May also need to have conformed to certain strict requirements as well.
Yet a society also equipped with church groups who's main emphasis is always been about love.Can also be something most wonderful of all
The idea that you might "need to have conformed to certain strict requirements" in order to keep "love" from a church is pretty interesting...
Yes i agree.As i read through your own thoughts on this blog i feel i see how you seem to have experienced the company of some who may have far preferred you had conformed.In a more strict manner.
Do you feel that this kind of practice is totally unheard of within some other church groups.
Such a shame that there is this need of division between Christians.And sadly it seems mainly through disagreement over issues that often seem a little bit trivial.
You know what my own beliefs are by now.Yet i still long to also see Christian folk showing more love freely among each other.
You see, my own freedom depends on it too.My own need to feel true family love.And also for many others that come after me likewise.And for the joy of all their offspring as well too.
I know that churches run the full gamut from prying into the congregants' private stuff, punishing trivial things, all the way to not knowing or caring WHAT the congregants get up to, even if the police are concerned.
Is that a good thing?.What can a child do if their parents worship within a harmful group
Sadly, (young) children can do nothing, really, about what goes on where their parents drag them. Teens mostly can simply choose to play hooky from church. But the way churches normally work involves extremely stringent, competitive processes which determine who gets to have any influence over anything at all, or even who gets to comment on things.
Yes,and by the time young children become adults.Many times the damage is already been done.Its long road back to recovery.And for some its already far too late
