Ok, I admit that I've had a problem with all the touchy feely at the KH. For instance, there's one sister (just One mind you) that proceeds to give her husband the biggest longest sensuous back rub halfway through the meeting.
She runs her fingers thru his hair and uses her nails too in long slow sweeping strokes.
Sitting behind her, without my wife, I can only sit and wonder....... Does this guy have a raging boner? It also brings to mind that I am all alone. Just what I want to think about.
When shes done with him, she starts on her strapping 17 yr old son sitting on the other side.
In fairness, I believe that this sister is sadly oblivious to what she doing and to those around her, and would be horrified to know the effect her actions have on those sitting behind her.
I was going to speak with one of the elders about it but didn't because I'm not confident in how they would handle the situation. I fear they would have a local needs part and scold the entire congregation for the actions of one person.
But now I'm horrified at this nonsense about the ban of hugging during prayer.
I can see how some may have gotten out of hand with husband and wives in a love embrace and entire rows of people holding hands during prayer. But I haven't seen that kind of issues on a grand scale. Couldn't they be just handled locally? Must it be a worldwide ban?
Just like the sister above.... a few kinds words privately to let her know how her actions might affect those sitting behind her I'm sure would suffice.
But, no......they would probably have a 15 minute local needs part and scold the entire congregation.
Sheesh
