What's the most awkward thing you have heard/seen/done in Church?

Question

Once at a wedding, during a very solemn and quiet moment, a friend said very loudly "Sega!" and I couldn't stop laughing.

Answer 1

My preacher farted really loud during his sermon, there was a huge roar of laughter from everyone in the congregation and his face turned BRIGHT RED, hilarious! just priceless!

Answer 2

In a simillar experience:
We were all at a wedding and you know when the music is going at the beginnig and it stops when the bride gets to the alter..... Well, my 2 year old loves music and was enjoying it so much when It stoped.....of course it was quiet and the preacher was about to begin, but b/4 he could; my son shouted, "UH OH, Mama!" and it echoed loudly in the church and everybody giggled and looked over at us.
It wasn't awkward just kind of embarrassing - slash - funny; b/c it was being filmed and now these people have this on their wedding tape forever.

Answer 3

I think the most awkward thing is asking someone to leave your church even though they deperately want to stay.

In my current church this has not happened yet. I have seen it in previous churches and other churches I have visited.

Just think of someone who disrupts all the time because they think they can sway the congregation to believe otherwise than they believe or of someone who is hopelessy homeless who smells up every service driving people out.

I am glad I haven't been in leadership when stuff like this happens. It is good to be a little guy sometimes.

Answer 5

I went to a revival b/c my friend had been begging me to, and I'd never been to one and had nothing better to do. It was going ok so far. I'd been liking the music and was bored to tears when they started preaching. It was like any other church I'd been to untill they started an alter call for those who were not saved. Everyone knew I wasn't, so my friend's kids grabbed me by the hand and dragged me up to the front. I was so surprised that I didn't know what to do. Then the little buggers left me up there!! The preacher started praying over all of us who were up there. When he asked me if I accepted Jesus as my personal savior, I told him sure just to get him to move on. Then before I knew it everyone in the church was up at the alter, swaying and praying.

Then, they started speaking in tounges. Every. Last. One. Of. Them. I was standing up there, freaking out of my ever lovin' mind. I had my hands up like everyone else and my head down, hoping not to be noticed when the preacher's wife came up to me, put her hands on my shoulders and swaying and telling me to let go and feel the spirit! Oh snap. I didn't know what to do! No way was I going to speak in tounges, but if I didn't start something I wasn't going to get rid of her, so I started chanting an Enya song. I did that for a bit, and can you believe the woman left me be? Thank you Enya! Holy Rollers dig you!!

Answer 6

In Assembly of God church when I was a child, and I've never forgotten it: An OLD lady with those rolled-down knee-high hose on with her dress, crawling up the aisle on hands and knees wailing, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!" Traumatized me for life; I just knew those people were crazy.

And once at a Catholic funeral, my protestant sister-in-law spied the priest going around with that little smoker thing, waving it around as smoke came out, and she said to me very quietly, "Holy smoke!!" and we both laughed so hard and tried to hold it in, it's a wonder we didn't pee our pants or get kicked out.

Answer 7

To me church always seems awkward. A bunch of people sitting quietly and uncomfortably listen to a man in a moo moo ranting falsities, then singing old droning songs, putting their money in a basket for who knows what... I worry about the children who are being brainwashed by oversaturation of this nonsense, I hope they have a chance...Well, I made it.

Answer 8

when i was in 4th grade, i was in a catholic school from 1-8, Anyway we had to attend mass every wed morning at 10. This kid Adam who was a bit of a trouble maker(1 of several) always farted really loud or, sneeze "F-U" dumb Shi* like that. One morning he comes in looking pale as a ghost saying he don't feel good. Of course everyone figured he was lying to get out of going to mass. Well they seated all of us and he just happened to get seated next to "the stereotypical bit*h" and she was. All i have to say is they should of believed Adam cause he had something wrong big time in his stomach and it came out all over Toniann!!!
I have never seen so much puke come out of 1 kid, and the smell..... but the best is that he hit that girl straight on and she freaked. Her meltdown was funnier than the endless supply of vomit this kid had in him. Revenge is sweet! Even when it's accidental.

Answer 9

There was a gentleman visiting our church who was praying for some people. Real general prayers. A middle-aged couple walks up to him and he starts to pray. He asks God to strengthen their marriage and to unite their love even stronger. He didn't imply that they were having any trouble. Who doesn't want a stronger marriage bond? Well, the lady took offense and stood up and laid her hands on this man's head and started to pray really loudly, "Lord, this man is confused and totally wrong in his prayers. Please help him." She went on for 10 minutes like this! What an idiot!

Answer 10

I see this guy up front all the time telling stories about a guy who could do anything and even created the world in 6 days. How funny is that. On top of that, the guy up front wears a dress.

Answer 11

I went to a Catholic wedding once. In the middle of the really LONG ceremony, I had to pee soooo bad.

I had to get up and walk down the isle to the back door, the clicking of my heels echoing the whole way.

I probably could have made it if they didn't have to move around so much.... stand, sit, kneel, sit, stand......
