About a month ago, I came out as a lesbian to my best friend of 12 years. She was accepting at the time, but she seems to be trying to convert me. She keeps saying things like "Unless you really ARE gay..." and trying to hook me up with guys. I don't think that her actions are necessarily based on her belief that homosexual actions are wrong, but she seems like she doesn't even believe me. Is this just a part of the process (a la Dr. Kubler-Ross), or is something else going on?

Heavens to Betsy! When you're spreading God's word, it's important to pay attention to commas and spelling and proper phrasing. If you don't, you may end up saying something other than what you really intended. And sometimes the result can be scandalous--or just funny as all get out.

The following are excerpts from church bulletins nationwide. Who needs professional comedians when everyday folks are just as humorous? (Note: You have to read this carefully to catch the funniest mistakes.)

Preach it!
The sermon this morning: "Jesus Walks on the Water."
The sermon tonight: "Searching for Jesus."

At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice.

Suffer the little children
Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King.

For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.

The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in the church basement on Friday at 7 p.m. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.

Sunday School: Children will be led in sinning and Bible study.

The Power of Prayer
Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "Hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.

Don't let worry kill you. Let the church help.

Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our church and community.

After the worship service...
This evening at 7 p.m. there will be a hymn sing in the park across from the church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.

Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.

A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.

Announcement in a church bulletin for a national Prayer and Fasting Conference: "The cost for attending the Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals."

The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict.

Ladies, Ladies
The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.

Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don't forget your husbands.

Ladies' Bible Study will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B.S. is done.

The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday.

Choir Practice
Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.

Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.

Miss Charlene Mason sang "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.

The rector will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing "Break Forth Into Joy."

Which Door Do I Use?
The Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. Please use the back door.

Weight Watchers will meet at 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.

The Members of the Congregation
Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for more transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack's sermons.

Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24th in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.

No Good Deed Will Go Unpunished
Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles, and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.

Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.

Watch Out for Those Potlucks
Attend and you will hear an excellent speaker and heave a healthy lunch.

The church will host an evening of fine dining, superb entertainment, and gracious hostility.

Potluck supper Sunday at 5 p.m. Prayer and medication to follow.

HOW Much Money Should I Give?
The associate minister unveiled the church's new tithing campaign slogan last Sunday: "I Upped My Pledge - Up Yours."

Who says church is boring?

Okay there's this girl I like but I don't know whether she likes me back or not. We chat on msn and stuff, so how do I let her know that I like her without telling her directly? and say, after I dropped hints, how do I know if she's interested or not?

In case if you all are wondering, both of us are not straight =P

In case you want to know, this is what makes me wonder:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtnaprYFeQ1Sz2UStbB_iE7sy6IX?qid=20060719222156AA71N4U

And I'm asking because If you're not interested, perhaps we should all just form ghettos where each religious group (including those without a religion) could stay away from the rest of humanity.

Or else, we can really start to discuss it seriously and with all due respect for one another...

While we were sharing spooky stories tonight, my friend Alex said he had a roomate that had lived around the world, including Peru. There is aparently a well known, extremely haunted mansion where he was living, and it was a nice, fancy place, but abandoned due to it's reputation. No one would apparently go near it. He said a well known journalist and skeptic of the superstition decided to spend a whole night in the mansion to disprove the local lore. Supposedly after the night was over, they found him completely insane, and he remains locked up to this day. Does this have any validaty?

Because of the many of religions out there, wouldn't you say that everyone in the world is going to some other religion's hell?

No matter how I act someone out there says I'm going to Hell. Don't get me wrong, I have met several jack-n-apes with "Holier than thou" attitudes, that I really don't care to see in ANY afterlife.

she was married to him for quite some years..she allows him into her home..he does not need to knock..just walks right in..she says it is for her kids sake..he is allowed. But now that she is married I am not allowed to greet him with a hug in her home cause that is disrespectfull to her and her new husband..Though I spoke with her husband and he claims to have no problem with it. She tells me I need to hug him outside. It all stems from her feelings that I disregard everything he has put her through. That I am making him feel....See I was not bad your sister still love me.
