Have you ever walked out of a service?
If so, for what reason and would you do it again if given the same chance?
Yes...

Several times when the minister must have watched TD Jakes or Rod Parsley and started to blurt their sermon.

I have not done it at the church I now attend.

We spend more time preparing a song that will be sung to take up the offering then some pastor's spend preparing a good sermon.

They believe throw the word out and it will work no matter the trite sermon they preach.

My leaving was like leaving a baseball game in the 9th inning when your team is down 10 runs.

Dear TV,

You know how kids are...they act like they are not listening when they really are. They were out talking in the back trying to find husbands and wives....now that they have a helpmeet...they can minister!

Blessings, Rhoni

I walked out of a service once. It was because of a song that was sung that promoted trinity. It was supposed to be Men's Conference in Tioga, LA.
