I went to a pentecostal church to try out when I was a new Christian.

There was a guy spinning round 'laughing in the spirit', even another pentecostal member said "I'll have what he's having".

During the service all sorts of behaviour like that. I couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

They thought I was 'laughing in the spirit' and started putting their hands on me speaking in tongues up to my face. I laughed even harder.

I admit I was laughing at them.

My brother was very hung over and almost barfed in my mom's scarf.

Being an Ex-catholic i can identify and even sympathize with these people.. I was an altar boy for 10 years, So i know about the kneel, sit, stand, kneel , sit, stand repetition repetition workout during the catholic mass..

Recently I went to a funeral service for an extended family member ( a catholic one ) and i still had the programing lodged into my head.. A lot of the people at the funeral where not catholic and had no idea when to sit stand or kneel.. The priest had to ask for the changes again and again and again.. In the end he just gave up and the last part of the mass was a shambles of some people doing the kneel sit stand performance and others looking around in confusion...

I am so glad i left the catholic religion and became a Bible believing Christian.. No longer the need for empty outward shows of ceremonial religiosity ...

I laughed at how bad the choir was at my mothers funeral.

The followers in this world are amazing lol

My grandma's neighbor fell dead when she was leaving synagogue. It happened when I visited for vacation. Age 11.

They were good friends. I used to bring her fruit.

When I was a kid, the parents drug me to church. The pastor there was a really nice guy, and when you're walking out, he'd stand at the door and shake everyone's hand. The thing was that he had a crushing grip, and he would also forget to let go. It turned out later that he had a brain tumor.

never go to church high![media=https://youtu.be/_h8-SBO-RKo]

in one Anglican Church they share the peace, shaking hands with everyone. Afterwards they just ignore you.

In another they all have their own seats woe to you if you sit in one.

I was asked to leave a church when I was in much need of help. I have tourette's and was having a lot of tics and outbursts. They said I wasn't welcome there

I got used to it, people talking in tongues is really common but occasionally, I've seen falling down during prayer, or suddenly healed. I watched one woman's leg literally straighten during a service.

The "vicar" would mix wine and water for communion, ensuring the congregation had the watered down chalice. At the end of communion he would polish off the full strength wine in one go. He would deliver his sermon which got more fiesty as the alcohol kicked in.. He got completely loaded every Sunday..
