So I went to a church yesterday with some family. My sister-in-law is a devout Christian of sorts, specifically the old-fashioned heavily orthodox sort. I was told my niece was going to be in a play and they wanted Uncle OP to be there. There has been a ton of discussion on the subject of needing to go to church to meet a wife-material woman these days. Yes I did just go to this one church just this one time, but again this church is the type that preaches old-fashioned rules and dogma, so you would think a lot of modern degeneracy would be absent and SOME hope would be present. This church theoretically should be a barometer in a way. However...

My observations are:

-Almost all the younger women there were with one kid. Just the two of them; Mom and kid. No husband/kid's father around. You could say the dad is still present just not right there right now, but whenalmost all of themwere sitting in the pews by themselves, you start connecting dots. It can't all just be a coincidence.

-The younger women without kids were not trying to be any sort of feminine at all. They weren't necessarily butch, just very drab, plain, and all.No, this is not misc standards, this is real life standards.Yes it is church, but some women were wearing flannel and Timberland boots, srs. The older women (40+) were wearing makeup, nicer clothes and despite being old, gross, and overweight, still made SOME effort to look feminine and decent. The contrast was obvious between generations. I seriously thought the woman next to me was a guy with long, braided hair until I heard the voice.

-All the women were completely devout. They weren't the types to just show up to church for an hour or so once a week, they go all-in and make church a large part of their lives. If you date a church woman almost 100% chance you will have to ingratiate yourself with the church and all activities and they will sniff you out with no problems for being halfway out the door or being half-present in the service.

-People were friendly enough, but you could tell from one interaction they were quite socially stunted and maybe autistic. Some people came up behind us in the pew and started talking to each other about how they want us to move seats so we won't block the spotlight. They were literally right fcking behind us, talking as if we couldn't hear them. Then they got the pastor to come around, he introduced himself, and asked us to switch seats. I thought that was funny.

-One woman got on the microphone at one point and told a story about how she was with a guy and had a couple kids with him. "But God told me not to marry this manso I divorced him(LOL WHAT!?)then found a guy on eHarmony. He was the last guy I wanted to talk to but I gave him a shot. We went on a date, 3 months later we got married, and we've been together for 16 years! We have a 9 year old son now, too!" This woman was easily in her 50's.

-I looked across the room during the service and saw some doodlegay with a neck tattoo. Huh.
-There was a tranny there pogo-bouncing in the back. He kept giving me looks throughout the service. Yeah, fuk outta here, homo.

-A majority of the service was devoted to singing songs. These were the ElevatorRockCore songs you expect to hear at church. They all sounded the same. Some people went to the back behind the pews and did some odd circular dance routine. Kids were pulled into it and looked unsure of wtf was going on. It was almost some cult-like ****. If you want to marry a church woman you will have to adopt some odd **** here and there, I'm sure of it.

-They follow Old Testament rules so no pork and no shellfish. That's what they say. However after the service they were having an "Oneg" and some pork meatballs were served. I was also told they have a weekly Men's Breakfast where they go to a diner, have pork sausages and the like. No fcking clue what to think of it.

-Also this is a Christian church that follows Old Testament rules; it is not a Synagogue. Many men there had long ZZ Top beards and tiny hats, but nobody claimed to be Jewish. It was wild **** and I felt like I was in a different dimension.

-After the service some random redditor-looking guy came up to us and told us the paper towel holder in the bathroom is broken. Gave us a rundown of how it's broken and what is probably the issue. I guess he was expecting us to fix it? I don't know. It was bizarre. Again, little social awareness from these people.

So yeah those of you thinking you should start going to church to meet people disassociating with clown world, you either have your work cut out for you in finding a location that isn't 100% mindfukt OR you might be better off just networking everywhere as much as possible to establish a circle of disparate people who think like you do. Single moms, women filing for divorce because He wills it, women looking homely as fuk, all the routines and activities, your church wife will insist you and the family join the community with some oddballs, etc. I'm staying away, no doubt.

More fake ones than real

Just got back from church. We are lds, couldn’t imagine living without the gospel in my life.

Go to a liberal church.

Do you guys take turns putting rocks in your hats and reading them

Interesting OP srs.

Sounds like 7th day with the no pork thing.

You want to see some real whackos go to the Kingdom Hall.

Sounds awful. How was the play?

Going in 1 hour, i think selecting a church that matches you.....is the most important factor.
I have attended churches with family in other cities and it just doesn't compare.
You do you.

was it a community church?

I can just imagine op in there like

sounds like you went to a poverty church

brb at mine girls dress to the nines. multiple kids. men wearing nice clothes. feel like i need to keep in shape and buy nice clothes to attend church

Sounds like you went in there with your misc glasses on, or maybe that's how you always see things. Either way I started going to a church and can kind of see the thing with being a bit socially inept. Maybe people are just being nice but socializing is super respectful. Extremely G rated playful negs, and no cursing or sexual innuendos. Everyone is super positive, constantly saying nice things...like what you wanna hear kinda nice. Then of course you always have people coming in to just talk about all their problems seemingly looking for a handout. It's really a different way of living but I do feel kinda weird going out into the real world after church. Like I'm going back out into the wild.

Met a girl there but she has a teenager and tattoos all over so I kinda see what you mean on that end too. Definitely gave me "looking to settle down after bad decisions" vibe. Seems like the good girls are taken or too young to be openly dating.

lmao imagine thinking ****s who are religious' are less retarded than clown world. Opee have some self respect ***got.

brb believe in omnipotent cctv cam

Churches are never the same wherever you go

Some are 10/10 some are 0/10

lmao @ collective delusion zombie prayer club

Church is boring AF.

Always hated it as a kid, so stopped going as an adult.

I could list a thousand things I'd be more fulfilled to spend time doing on a Sunday.

Only hitler and putin follow the old testament. Just sayin.

I respect the Christian religion because even with all of its faults, it is still a 'mostly peaceful religion' that has been the backbone of western civilization. Which has led the world in modern development.

That being said, Christian religion....any religion, basically comes down to people praying to and talking to an invisible man in the sky. It is as cult like as any cult in the world. Just complete fantasy. You might as well believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. All the same because it relies on something spiritual and ghost like.

I do believe in a higher level of being that is involved in our universe(s). Probably something related to numbers like 111. Mathematics.

If you want to go to a church that has some great looking women? Try a Korean or even any Asian Christian church. I realize that many areas won't have them but for example here in LA I know some of the girls and their friends that go and they are all 7s and higher. Most are nice and moral girls as well.

Im a follower of Yeshua but don’t go to church. I don’t even like calling myself Christian because that doesn’t mean anything. Your observation is correct. Sadly, most self proclaimed Christians are willfully ignorant and don’t know that being a Christian is not just going to church. It’s not about works. They don’t understand spiritual warfare nor believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They don’t understand that religion is bad; what really matters is having a personal relationship with God of the Bible. Most churches are infiltrated with satanists, religious dogmas, or lukewarm people only looking to socialize or find a “good Christian spouse” like you.

Anyways these churches do not represent God or the true Christian faith.

If you want a so called good Christian girl, spend time with God, read his word, humble yourself, and ask him for a wife that he would want you to have.

lol that's Jehova's Witness, right? We passed one of their churches and they had a barricade and security guard at the entrance -- and not the exit right next to it. I don't want to know wtf that was about.It was cool seeing my niece go up there with 0 stage fright or anything. It's interesting she's been doing plays for a couple years and takes direction well with it all.
It was Baptist. I don't know much about denominations but it seems to me Baptist is much more old-school than some others. I was expecting there to be a total absence of modern-era whacko **** you see in modern religion (pro-LGBT, promiscuity and divorce/dissolution of family is OK and sometimes the true will of God, etc.) but I guess not. It's ironic because my SIL who brought us all there is pretty much matriarch of their family and can be an overly-zealous religious whacko. It was a shocker to see all that taking place.

When I was a kid we went to an Evangelical church that was much more message-based, same sort of music, though. It was decent and not very much otherwise like the church I was at yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a denominational thing or just churches changing with the times.unaware. Is that like some church owned and managed by local governments? lol if true.I'm tempted to agree but tbh I don't know wtf you mean by that.

I'll bite. What is so special about 111?

Just go to a regular nondenominational church. You sing a few songs. Pastor comes up to give word of the day. Sing an outro song and then you go home or stick around and talk a little bit. I'll never go to an overly showy church or one with questionably strange made up beliefs (I'm looking at you LDS dedfkinSrs).

You have to have at least 3 wives before you get to do this. I'm not there yet.

Yep that's the one. Never been to their "church" but have done business and known several of them over the years and they are some of the most strangest fukkers you'll ever meet. Most of the ones I've known will almost hide in their houses when you come to the door. The women are especially strange like that. And you've got to watch any business you do with them cause they will try fukking you over every time.

If the pastor asked me to move seats I would hit him with the "nah Im good chief" line to assert dominance.


If he cried about the people behind me I would tell him that if theyre short they should get here earlier and its a good life lesson for them to sit there all service behind a taller person so that they remember for next time.

Bro it sounds like you went to some sort of Eastern Orthodox church or something. lol

Find a southern baptist church and try again.
