I am very, very grateful that not only did I get saved but shortly afterwards I was plunked down by God in the middle of one of the 'local churches'.... I loved it when I called a song and everybody sang it and enjoyed it. It made me feel like I belonged, like my experiences, my touch with God mattered. Or when I prayed or spoke and somebody would continue in the line of my prayer or speaking when I was done. "Hey, they are listening to ME!" Wow. I loved it. [QUOTE]

I remember those times too aron.

It did make us (most of us) feel as if we were respected.

We felt as actual contributors to church meetings. The pulpit leaders shared and we participated by supporting the message via a testimony or an insight received from the message..

Too bad more congregations don't allow for that. It is the 'PASTOR' in charge & him / her alone..& their close cronies.
