This thread is very confusing to me I think bec it has several extremes going from one end of the spectrum to the other.

Personally I don’t understand the desire to join such a church which sounds like it’s based on sex guidelines???? Ummm where’s the “faith” & “god” part. Sorry, it sounds prepackaged to me to make humans conform to sex rules. Imho.

You speak of joining this church, then say you’re as spiritual as anyone else (not sure who that is...) yet you don’t follow “traditional” views.
What’s “traditional? Why are you comparing your views to what you think others in society view?
Why are you joining this church? Does it teach anything about forgiveness? Happiness? The golden rule?

Then you say you wanto stay “pure”, until marriage, whatever that means...bec you said earlier you have sex w/your GF.

WTH I can’t follow this thread bec I’m not sure you even know what you’re own ethics are. Sorry I just don’t understand.
