No Churches as I am a Baha'i.
No priests either, so we have houses of worship that all people can use for prayer and meditation.

Long history of attendance. Currently I am not attending. Somehow it doesn't feel like we are assembling and more like we are going to lectures. I have heard so many sermons and been unchanged by them, that I just can't see the point of them anymore. I have also given a few sermons. They seem like a distraction from what people ought to be doing. Why attend speeches? It doesn't seem to count.Hi guys. I am just asking what denomination you attend.

Interesting, I am not sure I have ever met anyone from this religion. Do you all pray to a deity?No Churches as I am a Baha'i.

Can you give me a brief rundown of what that is? What is it to you rather?None. I am a Noahide.
What made you choose that path? What exactly does Abrahamic Religionist mean? My guess would be a mixture of Christianity, Muslim, and Jewish. I just can not see how these all coexist to make one religion.Abrahamic Religionist. Spent many years as a fundy Christian. Probably mostly Muslim now.
Do you use the Jehovah Witness's translation? So you do not believe in the eternality of Christ? If not, why is that?None. I don't attend any services or associate myself with any denomination. My beliefs, however, are very similar to and influenced by the Watchtower or, if you like, Jehovah's Witnesses.
Have you ever considered how the doctrine of the churches or church you go to lines up with scripture. If so, what is a little off that you wish would happen differently, if not, how did you come to that conclusion.My friend and I visit a variety of churches. We've been to Anglican, Uniting (Methodist/Presbyterian), Pentecostal and Catholic church services so far. Of those, the Pentecostal was the most fun/entertaining/exciting, but the Anglican was the most interactive and had the greatest impression on me.
I see what you are saying. I could see how it could be a challenge at times to keep an audience involved with the message, however, it is a part of worship that is commanded in scripture. Having a portion of God's word spoken within worship was done during worship of the early church Acts 2:42. You say it is a distraction.

You say the pure origins of the church come from the fourth century? Was the church in the Bible not established in the first century on the day of Pentecost recorded in Acts 2?Raised Catholic, but I identify with that pure, uncontaminated Christian spirit of the origins...IV century....when Pelagius lived.
Is it not concerning that much of the Jehovah witness doctrine is counter to what the Bible actually states? Of corse if the NWT is used, then perhaps some are supported, but as far as the kingdom being established in 1917, salvation, and others, these all can be clearly disproven within the use of the NWT.Raised Anglican.....divorced myself from Christendom....tried other faiths....couldn't connect.....studied the Bible....became a JW.....so good I have stayed there for 46 years.
