I was raised in the Church of God which is very similiar to COGIC. I remember when I was younger I wanted to be Baptist or Methodist b/c we were so strict. I just wanted to feel normal. We couldn't do ANYTHING or go ANYWHERE! I was very sheltered b/c of my religion.
Anyway, I broke away when I went to college. At first I didn't go to church at all cuz I felt like I had put in enough time that should last me for the rest of my life. I eventually started attending a Baptist church. Now I am a member of a Missionary Baptist church and I really love my church.
My family was cool w/the change because I think we all realized that serving God should not be as hard as the way the COG teaches. Now, my whole family is either Baptist or non-denominational.
