Low Threat Church

I had a random chat with someone today about how she wants to go back to church.
She told me that last week she tried to go, but she got nervous and decided against it. I can think of several reasons one might be nervous to go back to church.

From Within

This was written by someone I trust:
In the coven we didn’t get a choice, if you were in, then you obeyed and followed the protocol. In the church, they never get enough volunteers … and there is no room for new and sometimes scary events that free people. I see and read so much about [...]

The last sticker presented us the charge: “Annoy A Liberal.”
