Ever Walked Out of a Church Service???

[RandyWayne]

About a year after we were married, my wife's church (and now mine by default) had gotten a new pastor a few months before and he started teaching a class to married couples (only) just before Sunday morning service. To this day his teachings on "marital relations" were so out of whack and over the top (and I've mentioned it here many times) that people still can't believe it. After the class was over we looked at each other and left the building before the service even started.

We never went back (OK, we did once for a wedding and again a year or so later for a funeral) as members.

I guess this doesn't qualify as "walking out during the service" while it is going on but it is the closest example I/we have.

As I think about it more there have been a few times over many years where I was sick and left early..... (I tend to get very bad ear infections.)
