czar:
There was one old dude that always wanted us to sing really loudly and was never pleased with our efforts... he had a point about our listless singing, I suppose, but I blame the lack of joy and the terrible song selection - it was like they were TRYING to bore us musically.
My old congregation always got kudoi for singing well. What we got heck for was the usual: falling meeting attendance and falling fields service hours. Whenever I heard a CO or elder complaining about FS time, it made me thing "where does it say in the bible to fill out forms and peddle magazines for a certain amount of time?" It is the most hypocritical, extreme sola scriptura sect that I've ever seen.
