• Church Creepy

  Girls... ALL in skirts/dresses, and they barely said a word to me.
  Preaching that was something out of the normal ordinary.
  Congrgation stood and sat at the exact same time.
  The past called me Crystal... which isn't creepy but it was funny.
  The church was in the middle of the woods!
  The sermon never quoted scripture but one time and had nothing to do with what he was talking about.
  The pastor talked so fast that his words didn't make any sense and people still gave him an "AMEN"
  The girls and guys did not interact at all with the oposite gender unless they were married... strange?

  Other then the appearence of creepy, I felt HIGHLY uncomfortable... I've NEVER felt so uncomfortable in a church before. LIke... EVER! It wasn't even a denominational church, and all of my friends that have been to it have given me a bad review about it, naturally I can't just take someone at their word, but all the same... they kept talking about the prophet... "the prophet" and I was like, "Jesus never said that" Apperently their church was founded by "a prophet" who passed away about 20 years ago or something, and they kept quoting him.

  So basically, everyone seemed pretty robotic until like the very end when most of the adults went outside and the teens and I were inside playing spoons. I saw personality and I saw their reality. It was weird, not like weird weird, but just abnormal to me. i tried to be very careful not to offend their delicate balance... even though I had already made the mistake of wearing jeans instead of a skirt or dress, not that I own one. Heh.

  My friend who had invited me to "Church Creepy" is going to get me the email address of the person that preached tonight, I have some real problems with his sermon not exactly lineing up with scripture. He preached so boldly, but in his eyes... i wondered if he really believed what he was saying. I wonder what the right way is to go about talking to him... or should I just leave it alone?
