The catholic church getting to be too much these days. I'm going to convert and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior. Trouble is which church to join.

If your Catholic and you haven't accepted Jesus as your savior, than something's not right, despite what Protestants would insinuate. (no offense meant to Protestants, but a lot of what they say about the RC church is bunk and fluff)

I'm RC, but I've seriously looked into the Orthodox church. It's the only church other than RC who can claim any historical ancestry to the early church. The schism occurred before both Inquisitions and the Crusades, so they don't have the "blood on their hands" most non-RC Christians attribute to Catholicism.

However, its not as easy as just show up, have faith, and read the Bible. Anyone familiar with the traditions of the Catholic church (especially pre VaticanII) compared to the vast majority of Protestant churches will find the Orthodox church on the other end of the spectrum, past the Catholics.

Strangely enough, the Orthodox faith is pretty darn close to that of the RC church (minus the Pope).

Why join a church?
