What is the funniest thing you have had happen to you or have witnessed in a church meeting?
Yikes!!!I grew up in a non-denominational assembly church which was ultra-conservative. There was this one old man that liked to joke around and for awhile his target was a girl there about 3 years old. Each Sunday for a certain series of Sundays he would say, "I think you are a little boy" and she would say, "naw!" Of course everyone would just giggle a little and go on. Well, after these few Sundays of this she finally had enough and when he said, "I think you are actually a little boy" she said emphatically, "no, I am a girl; see!?" and dropped her pants for all to see. He turned about 20 shades of red and never said anything about her being a boy again.
children and animals really are the funniest. thanks for sharing.I grew up in a non-denominational assembly church which was ultra-conservative.

I love watching animals on YouTube as well. I love animals. I believe there will be animals in Heaven.children and animals really are the funniest. thanks for sharing.
when in need for a pick me up, I head over to YouTube and watch those little cuties at some serious play. I come away more refreshed. Jesus made the animals too and He made them all wonderful, (in spite of them all killing each other) I have seen even polar bears playing with dogs. I know in revelation, the lion will lay down with the lamb, and it looks like we are heading this way already. and I think I may have answered my own question here when it comes to animals having a place in heaven....hopefully crossnote will see this post

Lion and lamb'? Actually that's a common misperception, the Scriptues say 'wolf and the lamb' referring to the earthly reign of Christ...
Isaiah 11:6 ESV
[6] The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isaiah 65:25 ESV
[25] The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain," says the LORD.
If that had been a staunch Lutheran Church, they would have been abhorred as they take the words literally, "This is my blood".In our Baptist church years back, our pastors would wear the white robes and do communion all ceremoniously, unlike today where its much more casual. (did anyone elses Baptist churches go more casual since the 90's?). Anyways, this one morning one of them knocked over the entire pitcher of communion juice onto the carpet next to the the pulpit.
He just left it there, no one came to wipe it up or anything, we all just spent the longest 2 minutes ever just staring at the spilled juice not knowing what to do. Eventually someone came out with more juice and he finished the ceremony, but the stain was there until i stopped going to that church.
He said he wanted to keep the stain there because it was "spilled for a reason". God was trying to tell us something. I never could figure out what that something was, I think he was just embarrassed because he accidentally knocked it over.
