Remember when people slept in on Saturday and went to church on Sunday?

Remember when people used to sleep in later on Saturdays and went to church on Sundays. I work at a car wash, and sometimes before we're open, we're already busy because cars are waiting to be washed in front of the lane signs that close the vacuum lanes on Saturday and Sunday when the weather is sunny. I've had some people wait for an hour before our opening time of 8:00 and they sometimes act irritated because of it. What's the hurry in a case like that? I don't have the luxury of having that much time to kill just waiting to wash my car. On Sundays we'll be crowded up at what is usually church time. Sometimes I wish they would worship God with the same zeal as they worship their cars.

 

As to the heading:we'd have to go a long way back for that.The implication here seems to be 'people worship cars'.A sad sign of modern times.The department store shops used to close on Saturday afternoons & only small independant local grocery stores would be open on a Sunday.I went to Church Sunday School in the 1970s.I would'nt go now cos I've got too much dirtiness in me to have to confess.

 

There used to be a time when people respected Sunday with peace and quiet. The other weekend, one of my neighbors was washing his big SUV on Sunday morning at about 9:30 am with the radio blasting rap 'boom boom' all through the neighborhood. Someone ended up calling the cops on him.

& that ruined the Cop's sunday morning lie-in too!!.

 

I grew up in South Boston, a town populated almost exclusively by Catholics. On Sunday, all the stores were closed, except maybe little grocery stores, and lots of people would go to church. I stopped when I was 14 because I felt (and still do) that being told in church that if I wasn't a Catholic, I was going to hell, if I had premarital sex I was going to hell, etc.was a buch of bullshit. Easter was fun when I was little, because we all got new dresses to wear to church.

 

Man, it's still kind of like that here.

 

Boy do I remember. I won a Bible for a years perfect attendance to Sunday school.
Now the only time I darken the doorway to a church is for "marry'in and bury'in".
Have been thinking about building my own church, " The church of the born again virgin and bingo parlor"........

 

Luckily, I have a suit to cover both occasions..............weddings and funerals.

 

:lol: That's funny.. I love it. I'd join.

 

Here in Alaska you can get a "gaming permit" from the state if your a non-profit and reinvest the income in community bases donations.
My idea was a summer camp for kids. " the born again camp of advanced trout fishing and the perpetual BBQ".
Any feedback ?

 

and the people that do go to church come to fast food places and trash them and spread the christian love by being the rudest people on earth to the employees, making them dread sunday lunch shifts.

 

AND..... people would gather for sunday dinner at grandmas house after church !!!

 

I remember once I awaked on a Sunday and claimed I was sick so I didn't have to attend church that day. I looked out the kitchen window and saw my poor dad walking to church by himself, head bowed, and me knowing that he missed his pride and joy walking beside him. That really hurt. Maybe that is why the memory has stuck with me.
Peace and Love!!!

 

Pssh, everyone knows Friday night through Saturday night is when the cool people sleep in and have family and G-d time.

That's one thing I've noticed going to a Jewish school- even many of the 100% secular, atheist/agnostic Jews still go to Shabbat dinner every Friday and celebrate all of the holidays. It's refreshing.
