Are you baptized or confirmed? I think you need either one to become a religious official in any church.

Oh, I see. Well, youth ministers are key in the formation of young minds. Perhaps that's exactly where you can do most good.


Yeah, better to help form their minds with the right ideas instead of trying to convince stubborn old southern folks to change.

Same with me. I don't think I am worthy enough to become a religious official. I'm not the one who has the most faith in my area. :p


I personally think I am worthy of holding some religious title, I'm no less of a person to fill the boots I think :p. I personally don't consider any religious oficial as more special or whatever than anyone else tbh.

Yeah, I don't find them any special than an ordinary human being; however, I am just concerned my being a religious official might tarnish the image of my church, if not Christianity, as a whole, since I have little to no experience in knowledge of God's words and working with them.

All my other ones can be curbed with will power, lust being the hardest. Though I've not had problems acting it out with another person...considering I've been assaulted in that way before.
