No our sister churches are in Colorado and Washington state. There are a lot of free reformed churches scattered everywhere and that denomination is even worse then the one I grew up in.Are you aware of any particular sister churches in New Jersey? In our neighborhood in New Jersey we had a Dutch immigrant family with 5 kids and they were very religious and had a church some distance away. The boy who was in my grade in that family was a neighborhood bully, got kicked out of the high school and can be found on mugshots.com, living in Florida between arrests.
