For anyone concerned over trolling, I for one promise not to argue in this question, it is simply a fact finding mission.

I am curious how you define fact finding. . . and your purpose in it.

I mean it as the act of finding facts. Just like some other things in grupthink this is an opinion poll. Born out of equal parts curiosity and befuddlement. My purpose is to find out some information and maybe get some Grupie points in the process.

Thanks for answering. . . I guess I was on a fact finding mission myself to see what your fact finding was about. :)

Yep sir. I was raised in a protestant Church of Christ/Christian Church (my brother is actually an ex-minister from there). I then went on to get involved in the Pentecostal Church of God movement, then coasted from denomination to denomination in my own personal search for god.

What about yourself, what denomination do you hail from?

I grew up in the Baptist denomination. I now consider myself Interdenominational. I am an ordained minister.
