Hmmm. Was that due to the baldness or obesity?

I don't come to the forum very often until recently. I thought I was in the "Christian Only" section. Must be mistaken because a 65 page thread of people complaining wouldn't be found there.
Are you serious? It would be one thing to be a person trying to help build or grow your church but to be the one just complaining about it is really sad. Call me what you want but this shouldn't happen.
Do I like everything that goes on at my church? No, but I don't weaken the value of what God is doing to complain about what I don't like or that sister so n so is on the worship team and she can't sing. Why not start a thread on the many ways we can pray for our pastors, youth pastors, worship leaders, etc.? Why not start a thread on how I can do what ever it takes to see God move in miraculous ways at my church? Yah, that would belong in the Christian Only section. Of course I am sure it wouldn't reach 65 pages.
OK, throw stones.

When someone is in trouble, someone goes, "We'll pray about that one." And not lift one finger to help.

I trust bald and overwieght pastors, even if their wives play the organ.
But a pastor with the hair thing going, if you lit a match next to their hair, it would probably blow the roof of the church off.
So follwoing that train of thought, its is a fact that pastors with perfect hair are plotting to blow up the church. And thats why I'm whining.
Thats really the only whine I have. I love my church, my pastor and my church family, well I don't like pinky rings either. But I'll let someone else have that whine. I don't want to be a whiner glutton,

We have those. The same people posting in those flipflop back and forth between this one and those. 
LiveLOUD,
You are new and have missed the point of this thread. It was originally meant as a less than serious topic. You will notice that there have been lots of picking and silliness which even Christians sometimes need.

Nope! His wife played the organ to loud. 
Some of us are actually wives of deacons who get to hear a lot of complaining. I don't HAVE to come up with fresh complaints- I hear at least a few new ones each month. **GASP!** say it ain't so! 
My honest complaint- if YOU don't wanna tell the deacon body yourself then DO IT... don't bug ME to tell my husband... If it ain't worth your time to chat with the deacons, then perhaps it isn't worth complaining about.

My husband was an elder for years and people would come to me with complaints about the church, thinking I would tell my husband, not asking just thinking. I never told him. If it wasn't bad enough for them to tell him, then it wasn't bad enough.

I swear, I'm going to scream at the next person who tells me not to look at looks. It's probably from years of my mom saying, "You know, there are a lot of girls out there who aren't all that pretty who are really sweet." Yeah, and there are some nice looking ones who are sweet as well. (I was interviewed by one while trying to get a job the other day. She wasn't glamorous or anything, but she had a really attractive face, smile, etc. - no, I didn't "check out" the rest of her, it's just something about her face.)
It kind of makes me mean. "TD Jakes, you'd better hope it ain't about looks. Kerry Shook - you hypocrite - your wife is actually nice looking."
The only one who made me feel good was Olsteen, "My wife is a beautiful & classy woman. And my friends were afraid t otalk to her at first figuring she'd be snobby. but she is one of the warmest and kindest people you will ever meet."
Well, that and hearing a young woman at church say that her mom does basically the same thing as my mom.

To get back to whining about church: our new paster gives home work. We're suposed to make a list of worldly goals (like power, money) and a list of Godly goals. I have a sneaking suspicion that next week he'll tell us to follow the second list. I need an easy list fast.

Normally, the answer is "Jesus". But the 'lay an egg' part doesn't really fit. So the answer must be "the old covenant law".
