We have 3 services a week. Nobody get's chastised for missing any and they certainly aren't 3 hours long. We also have bible studies and cell groups. Lots of non Pentecostal churches do

I also learned that Prayer is more about spending alone time with Him than it is receiving something from Him.

Before I was in church, I was miserable. I hated every moment of the day, so I medicated myself with booze and pot.

I am thankful for what Jesus did for me and "Pentecost". If my local congregation became unbearable, I'd leave it for another. That is a reflection on the congregation and leadership not on God or "Pentecost"
