Most everyone that I went to highschool with went off to college and didn't come back. Others started families, and I now have nothing in common with since they are busy raising a family and I'm...well...not.

I have branched out. I've gone to other churches and have done lots of volunteer opportunities. I lived in 11 different states.

There is a big issue with people my age not being interested in God. A lot of times churches don't have much for people my age. They go straight from highschool youth groups to being with the rest of the congregation, and it causes people like me to loose interest because what we are going through, need help with, and experience is totally different from the married couples and the older generation. Many come back to the church once they have children, but statistically, there is a 5 year gap where young adults stray. In this area at least, not everywhere.

Anyway I have don't a lot of roping my peers back in to church, but unfortunately for me, once that happens they get married and start families and I'm back to being the lone ranger. I know I'm not alone and that God is always with me, but it's nice to know other people care and enjoy being around too.

I understand....that's why I asked..yes this happens at times in church life and you almost feel starved of social interaction...Yes sometimes married couples life changes dramatically to issues of family life ect .It is only if you have a real heart to heart with one of them that they switch from husband or wife mode or parent mode then they try and emphasise with you..if they can.

You seem a confident enough individual who can seek to get involved in other groups/Activities ect which is a great thing and of course God is with you and your a bit trapped in this situation.
However there must be people your age group somewhere.there just has to be,
I know God doesn't want you to be a loner and having a good group of friends of silimar age would make a big difference to your christian experience.

I am more than happy to continue chatting with you again on Thursday...God will make a way for you.

in london it is 2.20AM..I will be off to bed in a few mins.


it has been nice chatting with you and I'm glad that you didn't stop responding.Honesty we do care about you and only want what's best for you!

Hey. Real talk. Leave the church, get out my friend. The relationships you seek are out there. But they're not in the churches. There are real experiences out there in the world that will shatter your reality and rebuild it in a truly divine and transcendent way...and there are communities of people out there dedicated to seeking higher paths. Reality is stranger than we can suppose, perhaps stranger then we could suppose. Nobody knows what's going on. The church isn't the only way...

I suggest you turn on and tune in to what's really happening behind the veil.

Yes it does..I don't think this person is..If they was they wouldn't be advising them to leave their church and experience life.Whilst there is just about one thing that is true..ie "life is for living"...The rest seen to be disregarding her actual spiritual need which is to meet like minded Christians to hang out with..enjoy worshipping the Lord together..bible study and being there for one another ect in times of need..that's all she is looking for.
