Catholicism
by Chia ini went to a catholic church this weekend with my boyfriend.
he was raised catholic and was thinking about going back to church, but after the service decided that his belief system was now too different for him to attend services anymore.
as for myself, it stirred an unexpected reaction in me.

Hi Sad emo.
Sorry, I wasn't having a go at you. I was commenting generally about the huge spectrum of church personalities within a denomination.
Just noticed you're a Brit. There seems to be a lot of new Brit posters at the mo.
The more the merrier!
Which part of the country are you?

I'm new to the forum and desperate for support
by muse ini will be very brief on my introduction as i need to get straight to the point.
i was raised in the 'truth' from birth.
i got baptized at 16 (elder dad hassled me) and managed to do the 'slow fade' at 18 (it helped that i moved 50 miles away from home).

Hi Muse
Hope everything goes well with the op.
I thought that was really brilliant how you'd done Mothers and fathers day. Maybe you could try christmas and birthdays

The reason that I ask is because if you mean talking in the actual building you have just demonstrated my point totally.
In some churches it is true that when you walk in the people are sitting quietly in their seats waiting for the service to start or maybe praying or meditating quietly.
But in other churches of the same denomination there is an absolute hubbub before a service.
The church I attend is like that. In fact I commented only last week before a service that it was great to hear so much life!
However the church across the common which is the same denomination (Anglican) is known to be quieter and more reflective and serene in it's approach and personality. Nobody takes that as a critisism just an observation of the different church personalities.
Both churches, by the way, get on very well and do lots of things together.

Do you mean "talk" during the service or talk in the church building?

I'm not sure that it's realistic to say
"I went to a Catholic church or an Anglican church and it felt cold, insincere, unwelcoming or whatever and so ALL Catholic, Anglican, Baptist or whatever churches must be like that."
In effect making a blanket assessment of a denomination by an impression of one congregation.
There is a MASSIVE difference between individual churches. It just reflects the personality of the individuals who attend.
This is true even within the Catholic church where the format is the same in most places. Different people doing the same thing but making it feel better or worse.
If you think about it it was the same at different Kingdom Halls. Some were awful but some were great. Unlike Kingdom Halls, with the different churches you are totally free to choose which congregation within the denomination of your choice you choose to attend. There's no-one telling you that because you live within a certain "territory" you must attend a particular Kingdom Hall or else you'll be viewed as rebellious or spiritually weak
