I'm Ashamed To Admit It....

[DDAVIDALE]

Sangat jeo,

I'm truly ashamed to admit it, this is beyond what I can type-how could it get that far... but here goes, I've jst come back from a party and you know what, the church next door was full of punjabi's, i could even see turbanned indians alongside many, many indian women. It was 9.0pm. It seemed full from what I could see. I've never seen this many people at a place of worship at this time! I stood there for a mere 3 minutes wondering why, before I was told to get to my destination.

I'm not against anyone, not anyone who preaches God, end of the day-he's our saviour-whatever faith you look at. But I'm a sikh. I'm sure these people are from India-I'm shocked, they've travelled 6,000 miles to realise their 'faith' doesn't fulfill them. From my past research it appears as if they are, the christians that is, are actively seeking other breathren to join their faith. The women are drawn because I sense they can belong to something. Maybe they didn't understand sikhi-I dont know-but I'm scared as hell!

1. What led them this way?

2. Were they dumbfounded, were they converted?

3. Were they just fed up?

PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINIONS

I know many punjabi churches now exist in places like Gurdaspur, Canada, UK, America, etc...

Khalsa Ji

About 35 years ago in England a church Vicar claimed that the Sikhs will look towards Christianity in the years to come in order to find peace and tranquility. This sounded totally absurd at the time but the Vicar's prediction seems to be coming true. The Sikh faith is the most tranquil faith on earth , it's a shame that as Sikhs we have turned our Gurdwara's into politics and the only preachers that are allowed a public forum are those who wish to turn Gursikhi into a battle ground. It hurts me very much to see people turning their backs on Gursikhi but as humans some people are just yearning for tranquility without politics and battle cries.

Sorry for any hurtful remarks.

Very true Khalsa Ji but these people claim to receive respect , love , and warmth in their new found faith. These qualities seem to diminishing from our Sikh community , alas.
