what do you do for fun in Church?

Is it just seeing how much havoc you can wreak?

He is a good read most of the time. I enjoy his input.

Nothing is fun in Church for me. However, I don't wreak any havoc. I sit on the last row and bolt for the door. In Priesthood I keep my mouth shut. I haven't gone to Sunday School for 30 years.

I have told my home teacher and Bishop I will keep attending as long as everyone leaves me alone and doesn't try to talk me into showing up at ward socials.

there is a principle here--give nothing, get nothing.

People that hate church usually aren't contributing much, but ironically, when you start givin more, you enjoy it more.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but it is true. I've seen it in my own life.

There is also a principle that someone who thinks what applies in their life applies in everyone elses life has their head up their ass.

As a side note, I am sure you weren't referring to me when you mentioned people who hate church.

Actually I was referring to you.

Sad you can't enjoy it.

I'm completely serious. I wish church was more enjoyable for you.

Why? I get what I need out of church. I enjoy Sacrament meeting most of the time. It is a peaceful time for me. I am away from the hussle bussle of the world while there. AS far as Priesthood meeting goes, I get all the back and forth on church issues here.

So my question would be why are you wishing church was more enjoyable for me. It meets my needs. Your projecting your needs onto me. I don't have the same needs you do.

The question was asked to a single guy who has raised his kids. Church for me is a whole different deal than it is for you when it comes to the social aspects.

When you said church was not fun in anyway, I took that to mean you did not experience any enjoyment through attendance.

Clearly you did not mean this, and you do in fact enjoy church.
