I don't feel anything. They may have other things they have to do. i think the church as a whole has the responsiblity to interact with that person. if they do not, then that means they are not interested in that person.

Trying to look at this from a positive perspective, at least they didn't get up and leave before the sermon was over. Some people have told my husband that they wanted him to stop preaching by 11:30 because that was enough for them. He knows better than to listen to things like that and go by what the Holy Spirit says instead. You aren't going to please everyone.
to the person that said that church is not a place for socializing needs to go back and read acts 2, and see exactly what the church did back at the beginning.

I am one of those people, i do it because i do not like crowds of people, it makes me feel dizzy, but i do have days that i can handle it for awhile. I think it is a crowd phobia. Don't feel offended, we loners do love ya'll.
I feel like i'm in a spot light for some reason when i'm in big crowds of people, it's a mental problem :) Not while church is on, but when everyone is in the hall to the door, and i feel like i'm pressured to talk and i feel like i'm dizzy cause of the crowds, it's just weird. I also cannot hear properly in crowds, that is probably why i have the phobia, no doubt, i'll hear words that people do not say, or not hear them at all, sometimes i just shake my head and smile not knowing what they said, this is not a good idea lol
Small crowds i do not mind.

People who leave church immediately after service will miss the opportunity to simmer the spiritual experience they can get by mingling awhile with others.

Small groups of friends are fun to talk with and discuss spirituality but a church group tends to have politics and expectations I choose to avoid...unless there are a few goodlooking singles in the group...then it's fun to stick around.

Yea, it makes it seem like why go to church, unfortunately that's a lot of the church in america and also why many don't go.

They're the lucky ones! When my parents dragged me to church, people swamped us with handshakes and bombarded us with questions. If anything, I'd like to know the secret of people that can leave with no interaction.

Why does it bother you so much. If it does you need to put a sign above your church with that rule. The pharisees got good at this. They saw things that bothered them and they began making rules. It really worked out pretty well.
Who are you to say they should stay. I know someone who started visiting a church and liked the idea that they could go at their own pace in getting to know people there.

Fine with me. I don't go to church to fellowship with the people as much as I go to fellowship with God. He's the one that I go to respect and honor. It's nice to say hello but I am usually hungry and ready to go home and eat after church.

Church is not a social club.
