Same, I did a lot of counting fingers and ceiling tiles and coloring in all the enclosed letters in the program. Didn’t absorb enough god I guess.
I counted a lot of ceiling tiles in my time also. And i made up my own words to "hymns" to amuse myself, some of which were quite naughty (for a kid). I still regard churches as emblems of the dark ages where depression and despair go to live.
Agreed and I think it hurt the less rebellious kids more. Kids who tried their best to please the adults who were telling them this is what a good person is and does.
So true, and coming from a mormon culture I can tell you that you're right. The mormon kids I went to church with were by far the more terrorizing and misbehaved kids compared to us who weren't. Of course it was "their" church and I think parents look the other way when it's their kid doing something bad. They really believe their hellious rebellious brats were natural born "saints." My a$$ - they were the most despicable people. One reason I abandoned any pretense of liking church very early on.
