There you are again! But does everyone know that? And also MidasGirl, there is reason to validate ones truth just incase you are wronging the truth or truthing the wrong.

There is more to going to the church than just being part of the crowd. One needs to learn and share experiences (testimonies) with other believers. More than that there is the element and chances of increasing ones knowledge of the truth, by understanding other peoples perspective of the same shared truth.
