Re: How to enjoy church?

I can't stand "church". The repetitive song service of endlessly repeating songs which would make any Hindu mantra proud, followed by endless announcements and choir, then a "message" ended with a loooooonnnnnng alter service. All the while I am thinking about work the next day.

I'm sorry, but my church associations with the UPC which were formed when I was in my teens are still with me like they were yesterday.

Be positive, think happy thoughts

Go because you want to, not because someone has hounded you for two weeks and you just want to get them off your back.

That's kind of like asking "I went to war in Iraq and have serious post traumatic stress disorder. I am going to go to an area that I am not sure if it has real bombs and guns or if it is just fireworks and noise. How can I make sure I enjoy going?"

In my opinion, you can't. You don't know for sure what you are getting into.

Re: How to enjoy church?

So the general consensus is basically that if I go and think happy thoughts and expect to have a good time then I will? For some reason I'm skeptical that it works that way...
