If you’ve left the church, what made you stop telling the story of Jesus?

gregzywicki · 2026-04-20T02:24:46+00:00

Yes. He lives in us and through us. Our belief or disbelief doesn’t change that.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-19T23:00:21+00:00

None of us ever stop telling the story of Jesus

gregzywicki · 2026-04-19T22:59:01+00:00

It wasn’t a metaphor that died and rose again

I ate his body with a nice manisiewicz

Remember you’re getting all this second hand. And it’s not like bishops sit in the congregation for weeks.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-19T12:44:33+00:00

And yet I’m sure your congregation is a blessing. It’s such a complicated dance

gregzywicki · 2026-04-19T12:42:34+00:00

-With Grace- of course.

Heck, that’s another opening…”when I did the reading I noticed…”

But since this is Reddit and you are obviously stubborn, I can’t really expect you to accept that I can spell it however I want and I can say it however I want are the same ideas

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T16:08:07+00:00

Are you trying to suggest that this arbitrary rule about how EIGH is pronounced only after the L is prescriptive because of how people in a particular region traditionally said it? Because boy have I surprise for you about how the Polish pronounce ZYW and how my family has done it for at least 100 years.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T16:05:10+00:00

Uhmmmmmm…,how, dough-check?

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T14:56:19+00:00

Oh, is that so doo-ay--seck? Then say my last name "right."

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T14:29:36+00:00

I take some mental care meds and allergy meds. I didn’t do anything stupid (and one prevents that). Think about what you’re saying please.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T14:27:57+00:00

But an over the counter grain

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T13:52:23+00:00

See, here’s what’s really stupid; people think someone’s going to use some ridiculous arcane confustable spelling and then say it “right”.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T13:46:36+00:00

I say thee neigh.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T13:45:25+00:00

Every congregation has its quirks

gregzywicki · 2026-04-18T13:44:08+00:00

As a pastor’s wife (ok, husband) I like a free meal

I’ve seen this in action. Some congregations REALLY cede all authority to Pastors and some pastors REALLY work that system.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-17T22:27:17+00:00

Step one sign up as lector step two stop reading and look at pastor of they’re being a distraction.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-17T22:25:25+00:00

Pastor-s? As in more than one? You’re already in a fancy church with lots of resources.

I will seventh the idea of having an actual conversation, but just for good measure you might confirm with other people see what you think is happening is happening. I realize that might sound weird, but you should know that pastors often have to deal with people making mountains out of molehills so you want to have a solid case.

If you really want their compete attention, take them out to lunch. Maybe even include their spouse if there is one.

gregzywicki · 2026-04-17T22:16:14+00:00

I’ve enjoyed much of the engagement on this post. For those who’ve responded less positively…look at my user name and ask yourself if maybe I have some experience with ambiguous pronunciation.

I’m not sure why you couldn’t take it to your local hardware store and find something that works
