      @@cowgirl_in_pink_pearls Lot and his wife fled Sodom and Gomorrah, which were sinful cities. God hated those cities so much he decided to turn the cities to salt. God instructed lot to leave and to not look back. Lot's wife was curious, so she turned around to look back and was turned to a pilar of salt on the spot.
      Hence, "Lot's wife," because Lot's wife is always still... because she is a pillar of salt
      And yeah, I agree with your woke comments. It skews the biblical definition of justice.

    I’ve been to Rod Parsley’s church in Columbus, and they assign your kid a number. This totally reminds me of that church. I seriously can’t do a mega church anymore. People race to the children’s area because once they fill up, they won’t accept your kid into kids class. You are stuck bring them into the main sanctuary where they complain the whole time.

    • @noelc2
      @noelc2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      There is a legitimate reason for this. When I went to a bigger church, if your kid was having a problem they would flash the number on the screen so you could come.
      They don’t want to violate privacy by flashing “Suzy Smith” so everyone at church knows your kid had a medical or behavioral issue, or that you didn’t pack enough diapers 😂
      Also, it’s a security thing, so that if you have an ex spouse that’s not allowed to pick up the child, etc.

    And it reminds me of the level of brutality in some cases of outright bullying, hazing, and the like.

    I loved volunteering for children's ministry, especially the nursery, BECAUSE I didn't like following the rules in the sanctuary. It's easier for me to care for the crying kid than sit stiff and pretty during a whole sermon that may or may not grab my attention while using my phone as my Bible/Note Taker/Fidget Tool or fake singing/ignoring the singing portion before the sermon where I HAVE to stand or be scolded for not actively participating in something I didn't like.
    More freedom in the nursery without making others feel uncomfortable when I don't participate exactly like them.
