Just blowing off steam here. Comment as you will. I'm not a member of this church, but it's the one I have been attending regularly for a while. The people are wonderful. Now, onto the pet peeves:
1. They use the term "God's Economy" way too much. I know what they mean by it, but for some reason the term bugs me.
2. During a portion of the meeting, people will randomly speak out praises, after which almost everyone says, "Amen". I'd say about half of them use the same exactly contrived intonation when they speak. Obviously, it's hard to describe in words... but they almost chant the praise, in a rising tone until the last word, the last part of which falls in tone. "Lord you are savior and our COMfort!" (Imagine it climaxing with COM and then "fort" in a falling-off tone.)
I am SO SO SO tempted to use the same intonation to say, "I just saved 15% on my car insurance!" and see how many reflexively say "Amen" before they realize what it was I said.
