Sorry about responding to some of these posts a day or two late, wild schedual, no laptop access for a few days.
@Soulcalibur390 & Steffi.Labbeagle: Thank you so much!
@Jetta: Maby you should try a nondenominational or community church? I know it's not catholic, but in my experience they tend to be more relaxed about attendance and more accepting. I was also raised in a church with what I like to call a "hell list", basicly "If you do X Y or Z you go to hell" and I think that churches shouldn't keep atendance, so what if you get up and just don't go? Now, you do need to go as often as possible. Just a suggestion, from what little I know about it chathholisisim is definatly not the same as christianity, but if you are realy having a problem with a sermon that is repeted that often it is worth a shot, rirht?

Hey there! I'm Neelix. I'm in a hard spot in life, (I'll spare a few of the details for security reasons) and could use some prayer.
Here are a few things I can tell you. I just recently (A few months ago) moved across the country, away from my church, and best friend who went to that church with me, and still really struggle with being lonely.

Life is settling down, and it almost makes it harder. We have found our new church, but it doesn't feel like home... Our old church spoiled us with the best worship team I've ever had in a church. (My dad was on it, so I guess I was a tad bit partial to it. ;D) Our new church just isn't the same... I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean, if you've ever had to move.

I'm a little shy, so I have a hard time meeting people, and am not exactly comfortable in the crazy youth group. O.o I'm sure it'll get better... This last week's sermon was about how relationships often crumble for several reasons. Change, Distance, and I don't remember the last one.. xD It's hard to keep relationships strong when you live 2000 miles away, and are two time zones apart.

I'm terrified that I'll lose my friend. I'm really not one who ever has many friends, and I take friendship more seriously than most people do... She actually told me not to forget her, but It's really more likely for her to forget about me in her life that I never could be very much apart of anyways. (We only saw each other every other week, and I was/am homeschooled, she public schooled, and I lived on the other side of a mountain range. )

I miss everyone so much, and sometimes it feels as if they have all forgotten about me, when in all reality, they just haven't had time to send me an email or facebook message. So yeah... Hard times. Plus there's more, but I am disinclined to disclose that information.

I have a really hard time just relying on Jesus to be my comforter and friend. I too often seek for things and people I can see and hear, and are more tangible then God often is. I want him to be so tangible... Trust me, there were times in my old church where the Holy Spirit was just there. Everyone was on their knees crying there eyes out, and you could feel his presence like he was a human being. I want to feel that again. For his presence to be so real, so tangible. I just want to be near again.

(And now it looks all cheesy, but whatever... See how vain and prideful I am? =\)

Catholicism is a form of Christianity.

"Christians on CS". Notice, a lot of members are Catholic.


I think I work out whether I need to go as "often as possible" with God. My father is a protestant preacher. I've heard quite a bit of what I should and shouldn't do in my lifetime.
Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm not trying to stir anything up, but I saw something interesting the other day. They think that Motzart wrote the bible, as their is a code in the bible somewhere that means or says Motzart. It just caught my attention, not trying to diss your beliefs. ;3

I hate to break it to you, but the bible has been around a lot longer than Mozart. ;P

It couldn't have been. Otherwise the Dead Sea scrolls and everything else that's ancient that has the Bible written on it is a lie. The Bible was written by many people in many countries. The Bible gives records and history of what we know now happened (i.e. Pontius Pilate). I'm not quite sure why they came up with Mozart for the author of the Bible. Like how some people believe Ronald Reagan is the antichrist because his name, Ronald Wilson Reagan, comes out to six, six, six. Turns out he wasn't . Just a regular ol' American president.

@Neelix: Praying that you will be settleing into your new town well, I'm sure it is only a matter of time before it will feel like home
@Jetta: I'm not saying catholics are'n christian or arn't saved, I was simply saying that there are a few mjor diferences between the catholic belifes and the various denominations of christianity(saints, mass, mother, sister, father, ect.) and you may want to consider that if you do try diferent churches

xD Exactly. And, there's a possiblity that Mozart got whatever code you're talking about from the Bible....

Praying for you Neelix!

All the branches of Christianity are different. :P
Presbyterians, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans. Plus a couple more.
And I've looked into all of them. Meh. None of them seem to really fit.


Ah well. I like bouncing between Catholic and Presbyterian, though. They don't have any huge major differences. It really seems to depend on the individual church you go to.

I just want to praise God for helping me get a summer job! Not just any summer job: a job working for a local magazine! This is perfect for my major and experience. I was so afraid I wouldn't get anything near my hometown. But God has provided and has proven that we should not think within man's limitations. T.T tears of joy!!!!
