I am very conserative, very moral.

Grew up attending church every time the doors opened.

Went to Vacation Bible School each summer. LP: Haven't attended church in many years.

I do believe in God and Jesus Christ.

HE is my Savior.

Ditto

In the mid to late 1960's I had been taking my two oldest sons to church every Sunday.

In 1968, I was expecting a third baby.

When the church started hounding me for weekly donations of a minimum of $20.00 per week, I got angry and quit going to church.

It appeared the church cared more for my donations than my soul.

Looking over the churh expenses on the weekly bulletin, I got more angry they were HIRING a gardener for the church AND the ministers (free) house.

Now, the minister was a fairly young able body guy with 3 teenage sons, that played in many sports. I had to ask myself, 'Why can't they do the yardwork for the church and their (free from rent) home?'

I did my own yard with a push type mower and I was expecting a baby.
