I was raised Catholic and Quaker. I ended up a Baptist. Something I enjoy but what is even better is the fun I poke at all of them. If you are Baptist, you may understand some or all of these things. Enjoy
1.Show up late: Assigned seating, while not encouraged, happens. Don’t mess with the grove. You have you ritual, we have ours
2.You will ALWAYS look like someone’s, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister, brother, cousin…
3.If you attend church with a member of the opposite sex, the congregation will notice you, but won’t think to ask your name. More than likely they just want to know if you two are dating.
4.No you are not paranoid; they are staring and talking about you.
5.There will always be one 98 year old woman with bright red hair.
6.If you fill out the card, you will get calls, visits, and a home made something.
7.There’s nothing to memorize. Much of it is improvised by the Holy Spirit…and the quickness of the service is gauged by how long it will take the roast to cook.
8.There is a pecking order, and at the top…the director of the WMU.
9.We do not do the meet and greet with the precision of the Catholics.
10.Service will start on time… when it ends is debatable.

I haven't had any experience in this much at all, but number 4 made me laugh. : )
