I've heard of some churches where women wearing dresses aren't allowed to sit to close to the front. If they do, they have to place drapes over their laps.A friend of mine that attends such a church said the rationale is that it would be a distraction(for a women in a skirt to sit in front) to the ministers and deacons who should be focused on the work of God. Has anyone else heard of this?
The discussion about the length of service is really interesting. I've always considered going to church at 10:45 or 1:00 and getting out around 1:15 to be early. When I got to college and started singing in a school gospel choir, I got used to spending anywhere between 4-6 hours in church. I would go to service in the morning, and then we'd visit churches to sing in the evening which lasted for hours!
The thing that ticks me off the most is teenagers that hold full conversations in loud voices. I think it ticks me off even more when nobody says anything (especially when their parent's are sitting right there!) Thats when I have to bring out my other personality and start acting like somebody's mother!
I also have issues with church members who try to control everything in the church. We were having an event recently, and a committee member called to ask church members to bring certain items. However, she took it one step too far and tried to tell folks what brand to buy and what store they needed to get it from!
