My aunt (mother's sister) was a devout Christian Scientist. She get sick when she was 49 and would not go to the doctor. She died. I was only 4 years old. My grandmother was also a Christian Scientist. She was actually a reader there which is like being the preacher. I attended church there when I was very young but do not remember much of it. Today, I would not consider myself a christian...I did consider myself a Christian in my early twenties but not anymore. I listened alot to Eckhart Tolle and became more spiritual. Lately, I have realized that Tolle is similar to Christian Science....or at least that is the way I see it. I find that to be a huge sychronicity. I am now reading the history of Christian Science and about the life of Mary Baker Eddy. Each to their own, I say.
