I've always enjoyed your blog, and hearing how many things are similar in worlds that many consider so different.<br /><br />There is no doubt that part of the point of going to Church is to meet (and minister to!) others. I do find it difficult to meet anyone when there are hundreds of people.SilverRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580230961425635077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-6941331019992236082012-11-19T20:03:05.387-07:002012-11-19T20:03:05.387-07:00It's not better among the evangelical Christia...It's not better among the evangelical Christians. Churches just do not know what to do. But, there's nothing wrong with going to church to meet people. Nothing at all. Knowing people and having fellowship is half of why you should go. It is not good to live alone.SavvyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380401063646153237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-49204059507806787362012-11-07T14:53:38.204-07:002012-11-07T14:53:38.204-07:00Umm...Howard...I don't go to singles ward beca...Umm...Howard...I don't go to singles ward because I need dates. I could easily attend my home ward now, even on the weekends I don't have my kids. But I don't, because I'm one of those fools who try to support the program the Church has, even though it is philosophically flawed.<br /><br />Chris, I'm glad to hear from others in the same position.

I'm locked into the family ward for the kids' sake (which is best since their friends and neighbors are there), but rarely get a chance to attend singles events because when I do get a rare free evening, playing volleyball at 9pm is not how I want to spend it.
