Is ClubAdventist Your Home Church?

[JoeMo]

I've been thinking about this lately. I guess I spend 10 - 12 hours a week in this site. That is more time than I spend doing public religion anywhere else combined. I have what I consider to be more "personal relationships on this site than I have at other churches. Plus, they are from all over the world and of every faith! All unified in the pursuit of spiritual food and fellowship with like-minded (and not so like minded) people!

I guess that makes Club Adventist my home church!

[BobRyan]

In that case - by that standard -- there is a certain Baptist organization - that is my "home church"

[Gail]

There are quite a few members who have called C/A their home church over the years.

I have tossed the idea around of having an actual church service here on Sabbath... It might be a good time to collect thoughts on that.

[Naomi]

During the 20+ years that I was always in a different area on Sabbath I often used C/A as my home-away-from-home Home Church. It was/is most appreciated.

I also have wondered how an actual church service would work ... however, all of my good ideas hit a brick wall: Difference in theory and pratice. Gail could probably find a way to pull it off.

[Liz]

At different times I have thought about this place as my home church, it seemed like I found more "like-minded" Christians here, than in the building that I was attending. Now, I am very happy and pleased with the church family that I have currently in "real life", but love and cherish the "family" and friends I have here also.

[Bravus]

To the extent that I have one, yeah, probably.

I don't really think of it that way, though.

I have 3-4 online homes: this place, a Facebook group for ex-SDAs that contains mostly but not entirely Aussies, the William Gibson Board, Netrider (a motorbike forum) and a forum I run myself for my students and other interested people.

This place is the second-oldest and the one on which I've made the second-most posts, after the WGB...

[phkrause]

If I recalled correctly, didn't the original "official" SDA forum have a SS classroom for shut-ins and those that couldn't find a church nearby or to far to drive? I know some that when 3ABN, LLBN, etc. came around they could watch!

Am not sure I would call it my church, but I love this community. It has played a nice part of my life and has filled a gap that I would have had otherwise. Now that we are getting enough ad income to cover the expenses it does not have the stress it used to have for me. Thanks for all who faithfully help out.

[Nan]

It has never been a church for worship for me, but certainly as a Christian community giving mutual support, yes. I have 'known' people here for more than 13 years now and that is a significant part of my aged, adult life.:)

[Stan]

In reflection, that past 13 years would have been significant different with out this. I so appreciate the members here.

It has been good to me.

[Naomi]

And the members here appreciate you Stan.

[JoeMo]

AMEN to almost all responses! You echo what I mean. CA has made a significant positive impact on my spiritual life. Thank you all for your fellowship!

I wouldn't call it my home church but I do find it fitting to commune with all of you on a Sabbath. I'm hoping that the more integrated I become in this community, the more time I will spend on here whenever I am online.

I'm hoping so!
