Hello,
I am Dagmar van Dusschoten (male) from the Netherlands. I am an active scientist (biophysicist) and go to a pentacostal church. My first step on the way to becoming a christian was accepting that the scientific description of life's history (especially abiogenesis) was just a belief, not a fact. This opened up the way to belief other things, like christianity. Here the Jehovah's witnesses were the initiators but I never joined them because I thought them to be Farisaic.
Both with the JW's and the pentacostal churches I grew up in (after finishing university) didn't thoroughly indoctrinate me so I could discover for myself what the bible teaches and indeed this is not what most churches/churchleaders teach (even though not thoroughly in PC). So most of the things David informs us about that the first churches believed come close to my own conclusions (except at least baptism), which is nice, but also not nice.
Who can one talk to when you believe something that is not shared by most others, who will have difficulty agreeing with you as they have been indoctrinated to some extend? Here I am stuck.
