I am a christian and I have been reading the purpose driven life book and I feel it has really moved me and has made me realize some things I need to do in my life for God. There are things that book will make the reader think about, and tonight I think I realized something that should have been obvious to me. One of our purposes in life is to tell non-believers about God. I think I am best at saying things in writing. Another purpose is to fellowship with others. I don't have a church right now, but I can still do that on the internet. So the point of this post is that I am looking for communities to join about Christianity and such. God is all about being inviting and open to everyone. So why is it that the only three communities I try to join, they do not give open access to join? The first three and only three I tried, I could not join directly. I need to wait for permission. That is so confusing and frustrating to me. I understand that maybe their reasoning is to keep non-believers out so that they don't harass the community, but you can kick people out of the community, but also should we really be kicking them out if we are supposed to help them?
I don't understand how these maintainers that have communities for Jesus are not allowing anyone and everyone to freely join. Maybe I should just start my own community. I had no where else to really get this off my chest so I did so in my journal. And maybe if they check me out and read some of my journal entries they'll see this one and respond because I want to know why.
