Tell me your weird tales from church

I watched as the minister repeatedly motioned his flock to rise and be seated. I watched an eldery woman fall dead from the strain. Such power over life and death! 😧

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 ...

@Adstar I find ritual a distraction too.
As long as it is Bible based, prayerful, and there is fellowship, Im OK.
