That may be partially true as you can't know what is in someone's head but with my cousin, she was in her early 20s and starry eyed about getting married and she admitted she was doing it to get Jack. At the time I lost some respect for her over it because I thought she was a fake. As she got older though, she seemed to have warmed up to the LDS ways and her life seems to be good now so I'm cool with her once again.

I grew up Assembly of God, as I grew older certain aspects of the church I didn't agree with. So I changed to Baptist. I don't always agree with their teachings, but I've come to realize that it's up to me and my relationship with God, not me, the Church and God. That make sense?

Yes, it makes perfect sense to me.

But the point I was trying to make is folks may change churches, but doesn't mean they changed faiths. Or at least not in Christianity. That's how I see it anyhow.
Thanks for explaining that; it's something I can appreciate. Thanks for taking the time to reply too. And I'm glad you weren't offended earlier.
