Default Kirby: why church is boring

The last time I pointed out something so heretical, it was countered with, "Well, the Brethren certainly never think that church is boring."

Wrong. The Brethren never SAY that church is boring. If they never thought it was, they wouldn't sometimes fall asleep in the middle of it.

I find Sunday School so excruciatingly boring, that I didn't attend it very often for many years.

Now I find myself to be a GD teacher. And I'm doing what I can. I'm not going crazy. I'm sticking to the text. I'm not veering too far. Seems like only the old people like to come and like my lessons.

Church is plain boring but that's how some like it. I like my friends, not church sessions. The lack of reason, the lack of nuance and the lack of anything which isn't mind-numbingly dumb.

I like EQ ok. I'm old enough now that I'm one of the old guys in EQ.

I like chatting with my buddy between SS and EQ.

I'm usually wrestling my kids during Sacrament.

Once your kids move on, there is no reason to attend.
