[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Apr 12 2004, 10:23 AM'] I spent 17 1/2 years as a Methodist followed by 17 1/2 years as a Baptist... now maybe 17 1/2 years as a Catholic... then 17 1/2 as an Orthodox... then I die???

Not so much a quest as a couple of kicks in the pants. I grew up Methodist... It wasn't my choice. Became a Baptist when I got serious about Christ. Became a Catholic after learning more about it... Two good whoops in the behind. I wasn't looking.

Pentecostals rock, especially when they're you, MG!!
Welcome to Phatmass, and to Converts Anonymous ... look forward to chatting with you here (and elsewhere, of course!)

Thanks, Sojourner. ;-) Former Calvinists rock, too, esp. when they're you!

I think Converts Anonymous is my favorite part of the phorum...do I know anyone else on here? Message me later if you can.

I wasn't raised anything. I just felt compelled to join the Catholic faith at the age of 16 because only God knows why. He has great plans for me, I guess. :D

(PLEASE excuse my spelling, english is not my first language).

I was baptised in the Afrikaaner Dutch Reformed Church( in South Africa), a ultra conservative Calvinist church.

Although when I converted to Catholisicm, I was attending a Fundamentalist church.

I was pretty much raised in various degrees of the Annabaptist church (yup, spending a good number of years in cape dresses and bonnets), but never officially apart of any of those churches since they do not believe in infant baptism, and I became Catholic before reaching "baptising age" in the Annabaptist church.

My family started attending a Baptist church first, then we left, then another Baptist church. After that, we were nothing for quite a long time. Finally, we started attending a Pentecostal church. Then we left. I became agnostic. Then pagan (I worshipped the ancient Egyptian gods. Totally serious.) Then, we almost became Mormon. Back to the Pentecostal church. Visited a Baptist church a while. Then, back to Pentecostal. Finally, Catholic. :P

As a former Methodist, I'm happy to see that nearly a quarter of the converts in the poll are from the Methodist Church.
