Ever admitted to not knowing if god exists....or has it always been the "god works in mysterious ways" bit?
If not, have they ever done something while doing a worshipping session that was very disturbing?

Would anyone actually admit to their experience?

I think that we all struggle in our faith one way or another. Questioning God's existence doesn't really cross most of our minds. We may question why He allows things to happen or we may even question our own Christian walk and our relationship with God. My pastors -and I've had a few in my life -haven't been perfect. In fact there was one who was my Dad's boss that treated his underlings shabbily and used the church vehicle for personal business. I think he may've even taken some of the better donations given to the church for his own. I do know that he was eventually caught by his bosses with his hand in the cookie jar and in adultery. He was speedily fired. As for weird things in a worship service? I recall visiting a Charismatic service to see what it was like. I met one of those pastors who held rather rambunctious healing services. You know the type.; they call you forward for healing even though you haven't volunteered or asked for it. He claimed -a few times- to be given a word of knowledge about some type of secret sin in some person's life. I found this made me extremely uncomfortable because I do not believe that God would humiliate an individual in this manner. Nor do I think that Jesus would compel anyone to come for healing. God is a Gentleman, and He never forces Himself on anybody. Neither should His servants

No, I have never had a pastor express any doubt about God's existance.
No, nothing during worship that was disturbing in the least.

No some of them actually say they have proof of it's existence. When asked to show this proof however, they point to things like trees and puppies for some bizarre reason.
This isn't proof but they're too stupid to realize it.
It's the same argument that goes along these lines;
I say that the magic green fairies make the flowers grow. Since flowers do grow, it's definite proof of not only the existence of the magic green fairies, but that they do make the flowers grow.
It's not only childish, but idiotic. But they persist in using it...
