And your friend can still be your friend. I'm sure he would be happy that you are only changing churches and not friends. Good luck.

I have been going to churches for many years. It seems like within the last 20 - 30 years or so, I have never found a church that I really felt at home at. There were some good times in some of the churches I had been to, but nothing worth remembering. For some reason, I guess being single and having a mental illness of some kind; people just don't understand. It's like if you don't act like the rest of the fold, then just forget it. It's so sad that it has to be that way.
I have been afraid to leave the church because of having my only friend just drift away. He is a good friend, but there are lots of times that he could be better. He is very critical of me and cannot take any criticisms for himself. Also there are times when he can act inappropriately towards me - like making an advance at me. I don't care for those things at all.
So that's how it is. Thank you for replying.
