If I go to church. I look for ways to leave early.
If it's a church that people get out of the pews to shake hands, there's a good opportunity right there.
If it's communion time, get up and walk to the back exits.
And if I get communion, instead of going back to my seat, I head out the door.
It may be wrong or not, but at least I made an effort to go. Heck I believe I'll be forgiven anyway.

I wouldn't sweat it. You went. Did you worship God while there? That's the whole point. There's nothing in the Bible that says, "Thou shalt not leave before the closing prayer."

when i was a kid my Dad took my brothers and me to Gospel Hall in Hoboken... at the end of the sermon they gave out candy bars, sometimes popcorn balls... so there was no leaving early
getting there late wasn't a problem

I want to go to your church. All they gave out at my church growing up was unnecessary guilt.
It's their exchange: we gave them money, they gave us guilt.

If you're not joking, sounds like you're just looking for a reason to stop going. Just stop. There's a part of you that sees how pointless it is, just examine that and see why you feel this way.
You're probalby like all of us, forced into your parent's religion as a child and some sort of guilt mixed with a feeling of tradition or at least comfort from doing something every week keeps you going.

we sang some cool songs too... like Power In The Blood and He's Able
he's able, he's able, i know my lord is able to carry me through
he healed the brokenhearted
and set the captive free
he made the lame to walk again
and caused the blind to see
he's able, he's able, i know my lord is able to carry me through
:smile: funny how some things stick in your mind. been about 35 years since i sang that
and I've Got A MAnsion, Right Over The Hilltop...was another classic

....in that bright land, where, we'll never grow old! And someday yonder, we will never more wander. But walk on streets that are purest gold!
I can't remember wat I did yesterday, but I remember that song!!

It is wrong to go to church to meet women??? and think evil thoughts at the same time?

My parents used to make me go to Sunday school, which was the same time as the church service. I hated it. One time my buddy and I skipped out and walked to Dunkin Donuts instead. It turns out that the normal Sunday school teacher was sick that day, so unbeknownst to me, they got my dad to teach it. Of course I got caught. I'll bet God thought he was pretty funny that day.
