At my old church…

We had a lot of fun on Jason’s blog with “You might go to Crosspoint If” based on a something I sent out over twitter.  Today something in twitter got me to thinking

You might go to Crosspoint IF…You got in trouble at your old church for _____.

So, in the that vein here’s a new thread to start:

At my old church I got busted for __________.  I’ll start.

At my old church I got busted for:  mooning a teenage boy in the gym and while I had my back to him someone brought a girl over to see the moon rise.
Yep – that really happened.  And I was a deacon…

Your Turn – GO!

    You might go to Crosspoint if… you got in trouble for:

    as a fund-raiser for the students, suggesting having a wet culotte contest.

    That went over like a fart in a diving helmet.

    At my old church I got busted for: Getting up in my couples Sunday School class and telling them they were all self-centered, unthoughtful human beings that had a click (that is the jest of it)! Didn’t go over very well!

    I got busted for going out dancing on Saturday night and then coming to church Sunday morning with big X’s on my hand. Apparently I was backsliden and away from God for it.

    At my old church I got busted for being female. “Females can’t be ministers.”

    Man, you set the bar high for the at my old church.
    At my old church, I didn’t exactly get busted, they were more into murmuring….

    When we were going to start a children’s church, i was up at the pulpit telling everyone about it. Part of the was on disciplining their children. I said that we would use time-out for unruly children, but i expected the parents to spank their little butts when they got home, if they had to sit in time out in children’s church. My poor wife is still damaged as a result of her mortification from that incident.

    I once told the Sunday school class that I enjoyed a beer or two to relieve stress. The response was something like, well isn’t that being honest (bless his heart).

    At fathers day one year we had the kids in children’s church make ugly ties for the men to purchase. We got some old ties out of people’s closet and let the kids decorate them with fake jewels and glitter and feathers. They were truly hideous. The plan was for the men to purchase them and wear them on fathers day. We would have a contest during the worship service to see which man purchased the ugliest tie. We were going to use the $50 or so that we raised to purchase supplies for the children’s ministry since we funded the whole thing out of our personal pockets. Yep, we got criticized for “selling in the church” it was too much like the “money changers in the temple.”

    At my old church (where I worked), I got busted for trying to find another job. Yeah, it was like that.

    While I have some things I got busted for that I should have been busted for…I got busted at my old church for being male and having long hair. Of course it was the indirect confrontational type of busted but every time I turned around people were trying to tell me how my long hair was shameful.

    I wish I had long hair. I remember when u cut it! I was bummed because it made the gold sport jacket look so good!
