I know you're so perfect.Guess you never rubbed some ones butt by acident ? Right away you want to judge ?
Joe,
You are really getting in over your head here.
There are many things I would love to say unto you, but ye are not able to bear them at this time.
I will bow to your obvious expertise and vast experience in this rather offbeat but obviously (for you) captivating subject.
I would hope that you let your moderation be known to all men, and that you would, forgetting those things that are behind, press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling.

Hey, I'M gonna go there....IF I accidentally bumped into someone...BUTT or HIP or SHOULDER or WHATever...I would say "Pardon me" or "excuse me" and move away a bit. And CONTINUE praying or whatever I had been doing previously.
My goodness. What is ludicrous is that it would be a BIG DEAL if you bumped someone's BUTT. Who cares? Move away. If it bothers you to the point that you can't pray, then by all means...go to the other side of the altar...and while you're there, PRAY THROUGH.
But don't condemn every other person in the room and assume that if they accidentally bump a butt, it will so fluster them and distract them, they won't even be able to talk to God!!!!
By all means, DON'T come to our church. I have a 100% Sanguine friend who hugs everyone she meets, and then proceeds to talk their ears off. They're shoulder hugs, but if you're bothered by an accidental Butt Bump, I can't imagine what a shoulder hug would do.

I see. "Up" is different than a "bun." Odd requirement in some ways, either way.
It was required to be pinned up, no ponytails, etc. That pretty much leaves a bun. This dress code was implemented shortly after several girls "trimmed" their hair.
I am not sure I would agree. Keep in mind the type of body we are dealing with and the fact that the ideal is to trust the integrity of licensed ministry. Although it fails at times, it usually works.
Have you ever read the actual procedure for dealing with these offences?
While I certainly understand that false accusations can and do happen, many times, integrity of the ministry is set up so high that even when proof is brought forward, it's disregarded.

I believe I can honestly say I've never accidentally rubbed someone's butt.
Accidentally touched, perhaps, but that's no different than accidentally touching someone's arm or stomach. It happens even when the crowd isn't that pressing.
Some things are best done deliberately or not at all.
There are many things I would love to say unto you, but ye are not able to bear them at this time.
I will bow to your obvious expertise and vast experience in this rather offbeat but obviously (for you) captivating subject.

I will now have to bite my lip....err....fingers.
