And to think, I used to brood and complain whenever our family was “chosen” to bring up the hosts and wine for communion. <br /><br />We were a 5-member family and there were 5 things to carry, so we got picked a lot. I hated that, especially because by that time, I was having serious doubts about the whole thing, so going through that charade seemed to me to be the height of hypocrisy.<br /><br />But that pales in comparison to being expected to throw yourself on the floor and roll around. Oh, and to endure a 2-hour songfest and 2-hour freakin’ sermon? I’m sorry, but that’s cutting into some serious football time. I don’t care how hot the girl is, I’m out. Or at least there would have to be a quid pro quo. In writing.<br /><br />Dude, your story would make a great post for A Beer for the Shower.<br /><br /><b>Cristy</b><br />That is exactly my point. You have to build up to the full on frontal assault. I’ve never been the one to jump right into the deepend… I have to wade in, a toe at a time. There will be time for cannonballs once I’m acclimated.<br /><br /><b>Mundane</b><br />Was your dad short? Maybe he just wanted to be able to see more than the droopy butts in front of him.<br /><br />I’m sure there are boots out there that are comfy, so I’d hate to smear the general bootery based on a single specimen. But mine were just not a good match for my big ol’ dogs.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-11978073225509006242011-12-01T15:26:31.711-05:002011-12-01T15:26:31.711-05:00My dad always wore boots to church.

My mom was not a fan and dressed the rest of us in lace-collared floral dresses.<br /><br />I thought boots were supposed to be the most comfortable thing possible, though. I thought you were supposed to want to live in them and that you'd cry when you finally wore them out.Unapologetically Mundanehttp://www.unapologeticallymundane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-26320320398396826392011-12-01T15:07:36.457-05:002011-12-01T15:07:36.457-05:00Wow, Beer, that sounds insane!

The service was 4 hours long (the first 2 hours singing, the next 2 hours the preacher screaming, I mean literally screaming his message). At the end, they had the slaying of the spirit, you know, where the preacher puts his hand on your head and screams I HEAL YOU IN THE NAME OF JEEEEZUS. They made me do it too. So while everyone else flopped onto the ground and were convulsing like they'd had a seizure, I felt nothing. So I just kind of gave him this awkward glance. And he took me by the hand, and gently just had me lay down on the ground next to these seizing retards, and went on his way. Laying on the cold floor, staring up at the church ceiling, surrounded by people speaking 'in tongues.' This scene is still permanently engraved in my brain.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-22608495363404941972011-11-30T22:25:33.871-05:002011-11-30T22:25:33.871-05:00Mad,

But once we said our "I do's", we never set foot in there again.<br /><br />And if I ever should decide I need a place of worship, I'd look for one where I could sit in the back and stay out of the way. I would never attend a place where I had to re-enact scenes from a holy version of Glee.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-69706480400187970422011-11-30T21:44:38.277-05:002011-11-30T21:44:38.277-05:00Bluz!

What did they think it was, American Idol auditions?<br /><br /><b>Cher,</b><br />I’ve never seen a church with seating divided up by donors. Sounds a lot like modern society. Yeah, I heard about the changes to the liturgy. Wouldn’t have made a difference to me… One of the things I always hated about Mass was the mindless, rote, repetition. Got zero value out of that. Reeked of indoctrination, to me, regardless of what you’re forced to repeat back.<br /><br /><b>Carpetbagger,</b><br />Yeah, like I said, the tops were nice and soft, and they fit my feet, but there was absolutely no padding in the sole and the edges of the heel dug in. Not practical.<br /><br />I didn’t really have any beef (that I remember) with their content, just that they forced me into a position for which I was unprepared and wouldn’t like even if I was. If I’m going to be the center of attention, I’d prefer to be doing stand-up, or telling stories, not lip-syncing drudgey songs about The Lord.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-74147216416711514012011-11-30T17:11:16.965-05:002011-11-30T17:11:16.965-05:00Having spent some time in Texas, I had a pair of T...Having spent some time in Texas, I had a pair of Tony Lama's once. Ostrich skin. Everybody told me that cowboy boots were SOOOO comfortable that I'd wear them all time. Well, maybe we didn't bet them custom fit, but my experience was much like yours. They pinched my feet and hurt.<br /><br />And what kind of Scientology-fueled church did you stumble into? I always thought that Unitarian were pretty atheist-friendly. I can't imagine doing that first-timers. Most of my old congregation would've stomped out if I had pulled that kum-ba-yah shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-75691237622800086052011-11-30T16:06:29.010-05:002011-11-30T16:06:29.010-05:00Most of the churches I've been to have assigne...Most of the churches I've been to have assigned seating for their large contributors.
