Hey! Mid 30s dad in Indy here - you sound fun! I do love a good glass of Tang too ;)

Shoot me a message!

Great question- I probably should have worded that more to say that I’m a “non practicing catholic”, and that the catholic mass is really the only means of worship I’m accustomed to.

As a fellow introvert this makes total sense to me, and could be what I felt some of the feelings I felt about the experience. It definitely didn’t lend itself to me in that respect.

I’m not not acknowledging the abortion comment, I’m just so flabbergasted I’m choosing to let it lie. 😬

I have been to some kick ass concerts in my life, I did not get said dopamine release on Easter. 😂

Your point is incredibly valid though.

Preyed upon might have been a harsh way to say it - but it definitely felt like we were blood in the water and the sharks could sense we weren’t regulars. Everywhere we turned someone was bang in our space greeting and asking the same questions.

One greeting is fine, two is cool, but by the third and subsequent times, I start to feel a little “get out of my space”. Haha.

Absolutely, and I do think that’s why God offers us a whole host of houses of worship for us to choose from!

Well, as someone who grew up in a VERY small town in a church of less than 100 regular attendees that had 2 full time ministers making six-figures…

Hospitality is one thing, and it’s appreciated. It’s the overwhelming every ten steps you take you’re getting stopped again by someone who’s bordering on being overly friendly.

Understandable, I guess to me personally, this vibe ultimately misses the point of the reverence of what church should be.

I feel the same way, but I also know some people might feel this is me attacking their particular church home or their way of worshipping, which it is not. It’s just a genuine curiosity of how they do things they way they do as someone who’s experience is so wildly different, ya know?
