I think sometimes children brought up in a church going family sometimes need to move away from it for a while to get perspective on the issue - and later to realise what they are missing...discover their beliefs for themselves

Julie, I agree. I left the church during my late teens and early 20's. I went to 13 years of Catholic school and was in church every Sunday and most Holy Days as a child.

The suicidal death of a friend, my husband's Diabetes, and our infertility hit us all at once. That's when we went running to a minister for help.

There are people in my life who give me a hard time about my beliefs. They are the same ones who call me asking for prayers when in need. It's hard to be bullied about my faith, but I'll be a fool for Christ. That's my job as a Christian.

I was thinking that maybe some kids get such a gut full of being made to go to church as a kid and Sunday school they just semi rebel and stop going when they are allowed to make their own decisions but I strongly believe that those teachings stay with them (us) and sooner or later they will come back to the faith. Sometimes it just takes time and NO pressure.... [Smile]
