I had been sick, for a while, lately feeling better, and plus I moved. With all this going on. I missed a lot of church I only go once a week, but with the nasty drugs and stuff I was taking I was just home.

I get a call from the pastor "Wendy we miss you in the nursery, and If you too weak to drive I can get somebody to pick you up." I say okay

Well the lady that picked me up, is a sweetheart, and she was ranting and raving about the changes that have been made in the church. And I quote.

"Lord Chile the pastor done made some awesome changes, and personally, I think it is good it weeds out the folks you wanna stay away from."

Now, I am concerned. because she never says stuff like that. So I get to church get my hugs from everybody. I enjoy the sermon, it is about loving yourself. Okay well I am kinda looking around the building trying to see if any "physical" changes have been made. It all looked the same. The service seemed to be the same.

Until They asked everybody to raise their hands, and the pastor was crying out to God for people to release their sins. Now here comes the big change...

One lady stands up and says that she has been lusting after the "wife" of a fellow church member.

One couple stood up and said they had been shoplifting as a team for at least a year.

A teenager stood up and said she let herself be passed around at some party the night before.

But the show stopper was when the lady that picked me up, confessed that the spirit moved her to confess that she used profanity when making love to her husband.

Needless to say, I visibly laid over in my section of the pew and laughed. When the Pastor asked if there was anything else. I said what I was thinking, while laughing, by all means save something for next Sunday. Well, I got a stern talking to afterwards, and I still could not believe the new "changes."

I was taught by the pastor of that church that your sins are between you and God. I have been in that church since I was a teenager. So... I do not know what he did to convince anybody that was a goos idea.

Not a good idea at all! I believe it would be more comfortable to not have everyone at church judging poor decisions i may have made.

I doubt it will last long.

A couple of years ago here in my town the preacher confessed before the congregation that he and the piano player had been having an affair! The lady that plays the piano is from a very well to do family and owns most of the area.
The lady's family (and all their money) got up and walked out. It sure did cause talk around the community.

I do not know about a cult for my sins, but eyes would surely pop out of some people's heads.

But just maybe you shouldn't be as obvious taking too many notes during this timerolling on the floor laughing.

Why not stand up and confess that you think the church is wacko when people feel the need to let every busibody in church know what they are up to and how good they are getting at sinning.

Always thought Catholic church was the most fun because they all learn how to sin best.rolling on the floor laughing

I thought about it. I was shocked, and amused. Church goers are some of the worse gossips, and back stabbers.

Okay I adjusted when we went from latin to english.

I accepted change when we started singing in church.

I enjoyed eating meat on Fridays.

I felt weird holding hands during the Mass.

But, getting up and shooting out my sins is way too far!!!!!!!! Our Mass is only an hour long.... How much longer could it possibly be with all the sins being shouted out?

BJ if you ever been in an all black Baptist church, a service can last for hours. Sometimes a sermon can get hijacked. You would be surprised.

I take some stuff seriously, and as shocked as I was I was amused. I leaned over in the pew, before I had known I had done it... after that. I knew I was going to laugh.
