Re: Asking for Church Membership??
This question was most likely asked on the old forum, but thought it would make for good conversation. And my family is sorta in this situation currently. So once you decide to attend a new congregation, how long should you visit until you ask for membership? Obviously various factors come into pla...

Re: Asking for Church Membership??
I wish I'd waited longer than 3 months before asking.

Re: Peacemaking after the Election
Boot, one slight point of order: the country had already devolved into significant riots in the major cities. That hasn't happened because of an election in a long time.
