The first time I remember this is as an adult for some wedding or funeral, not sure which. This is the only time I go to a church also. Not because I want to either. But sometimes, you just have to go. <br /><br />I usually sit in the back and stand when everyone else stands, sit when they sit. I don't kneel and I don't participate in communion either.<br /><br />Oh and I roll my eyes constantly or just mentally shake my head throughout the entire ordeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521072265640427072.post-69466143586469423432010-06-08T12:25:08.707-04:002010-06-08T12:25:08.707-04:00Also a physics teacher (retired).

I was raised a Baptist in Ohio, until I broke free around 13 years old.

I've been to a few non-Catholic churches that do the "peace" thing or some variation of it.vjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868095335395368227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521072265640427072.post-61453487879369960562010-06-07T15:44:26.647-04:002010-06-07T15:44:26.647-04:00At this church Jesus was on the cross, but he was ...At this church Jesus was on the cross, but he was kind of hovering in front of it, instead of being nailed to it by his hands and feet.

When everyone rises, I rise and stand quietly. When everyone kneels, I stay seated, and when everyone goes to eat a stale cracker and drink wine from the same cup, I also stay seated.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627197224377862571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521072265640427072.post-70661144972709197172010-06-07T14:31:29.420-04:002010-06-07T14:31:29.420-04:00I was brought up (unfortunately) in a Baptist home...I was brought up (unfortunately) in a Baptist home and the cross in church was just a cross.<br />My first time in a Catholic Church was disturbing.
