My boss asked me a while ago if I wanted to join her church's choir. I have been known to sing on occasion and boss said I have a beautiful voice plus two of the other three colleagues who I work closest with had joined. I said OK because I am not having to do an extra job like everyone else. Thought about it, decided I wasn't really keen on it at all but boss DID give me an extra job so I thought SOD the choir anyway I have reclaimed my weekends (from church) and I want to KEEP it that way! Next it was one of my colleagues wanted to invite me as a "guest" and I said maybe but then me and a different colleague said we grew up with that stuff now we are taking a break! Noone asked again. BUT So like I said two colleagues joined the choir. Later on one of them tells me they were told to keep singing in the choir they had to be confirmed into the church!!! So they had to go to classes, probably preached at, saying they believed this and that. THEN they have joined the youth group helping to run it (Friday nights) and went on a trip with them last Saturday no the one before.) And I feel like the choir thing was a hook like join the choir, sing and later on oh you have to be confirmed and then extra duties! And I am SO glad I didn't join their choir!!!! Cos I've BEEN down that road and with Christianity - I have nothing against others who believe but FOR ME - it is a door that I have closed, locked and bolted and I am NEVER going BACK to it!!

Yes I AM too cool for church! Jesus is NOT waaay cool I AM! Am I"m real and he"s NOT SO...!
I used to be into Jesus
But now I"ve kicked the habit
Now I have REALLY seen "the light" and know the REAL truth and the Truth - not the lie of christianity! - has set me free!
"..When you"re inside the pig, it"s so warm and comfortable and feels wonderful. Then you get out and you realise the hideous monster that"s been accomodating you!" (From a book, talking about during and after bad relationships but SO appropriate here too!)
