We've just been for a (portion of) a church weekend away with The Spouse™'s former church. They are all extremely lovely people and do nice things like pray for us. This makes me feel rather guilty when I think nasty thoughts about them e.g.
Why does a church think it's OK to use disposable plates and bowls? Especially polystyrene bowls and plastic cups - but the paper plates aren't being recycled, either.
Why do they only ever have male speakers for their weekends away? I know it's not a rule or anything so it must be a cultural thing (women within that particular Christian subculture don't put themselves forward as public/paying speakers) but shouldn't someone be questioning it?
Why do some Christians still think it's OK to suggest that having a gay couple in the church might be a "problem", or, worse, feel it's appropriate to talk about this in the same sentence as what one might do if a convicted paedophile joined one's church. More to the point, why didn't I pull people up on this??
I'm not normally given to being too polite!
