I have a problem with churches

[Steve]

To me, a---you should excuse the expression---'cool' church would be one of these places called a 'Praise Center' or 'Family Church' or some other nebulous and meaningless title, where a projector screen slides down, and shallow, banal, repetetive 'praise choruses' are mindlessly repeated a gazillion times; the hymnal, containing doctrinally solid hymns is either unused or does not exist; the sermonette is banal and comes from atrocities such as 'The Message', and the music is led by---God help us all- 'rock' bands or something called a 'praise' band. Lots of hugging and kissing and the noise level is unreal both befor, during, and after the service.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolll !!!!

Pardon me while I head to the vomitorium.

You can allways tell a true Christian when they attack and put down
others. :o

I hope you removed the plank from your eye.

Oh! That's right! My bad! No-one is allowed to express an opinion around here anymore.

No apologies shall be forthcoming.

I don't know how churches are set up overseas but here in Australia, we have something called a "men's group" which is affliated and run by the church; and is often a more relaxed way of understanding the Lord in the specific language for men.

It's more a social outlet for guys who want to be influenced by the Lord; but don't always want to go to church for a service to do it. They play games which have a kind of moral lesson in the background. From what I've heard they are quite enjoyable.

I was just thinking you might respond in a more relaxed atmosphere at first, and once your confidence has been built up then you can attend church with a more intimate knowledge of the men who run the church; and the other male members.

BTW, it's not designed to ostracise women - they often talk about relationships too and how God views men and women as both important.

Just a suggestion. :D

supernac, nobody's paying any attention to you, as a matter of fact, I had to take you off ignore to see what you were trying to stir up. Why don't you take it somewhere else?
