I've been to lots of different types of churches. I like to check them out. The freakest experience for me was at a Southern Pentecostal church. The choir was.......WIRED....like shaking wired . They seemed to be drugged. They were so amped up I could only compare them to meth users/schizophrenics I've seen wondering city streets. There were several people that fell over and spoke in tongues. It was intense. The strangest part was that the friend that took me to the service (she was a church member) came out of the church totally unphased. It was just a normal Sunday morning. We were both 17. I guess nothing phases teenagers -- and she'd been going all her life. Still, it was definitely strange to experience. Either transendental, or mass hysteria. Hard to tell.

Please don't be under the impression that I "hate" the Catholic church - or any church for that matter. Organized religion as a whole is not for me, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone's choice to practice a religion. It's foisting a religion on another person (especially a child or a grieving woman!) that I take umbridge with (as did you).
I'll exit while I still think it's clear I'm not critizing anyone but Laura's wacky neighbor!!!!! :guilty:

I used to work in the ER with a nurse who was very Catholic (I was brought up Catholic) and whenever we had a patient come in having a miscarriage she would always "baptize" the embryo. I will never forget the time I had a patient and she took the specimen jar to baptize it, I had to almost tackle her to retrieve it. I don't think the Rabbi Father and Orthodox Jewish mother would have appreciated it.Luanne
